This plugin implements a “click-to-play” solution that prevents direct connections to YouTube servers when the page is loaded. Instead of embedding the video directly, only a static preview image is displayed. A connection to YouTube and the associated transfer of personal data (such as your IP address and possibly cookies) only occurs after you actively click on the preview and thereby consent to the data transfer.

We use YouTube in “privacy-enhanced mode” (youtube-nocookie.com) to limit the scope of data processing by Google as far as possible.

Please note that once the video is played, YouTube may set cookies and track your usage behavior. If you are logged into your YouTube or Google account, this information may be linked to your user profile. We have no influence over the scope and content of the data transmitted to YouTube or how it is further used by Google.

The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

X. Legal basis of processing

Art. 6 Para. 1 Letter a) GDPR serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a contract to which the data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations that are necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 letter b) GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation which necessitates the processing of personal data, such as the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 Letter c) GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data could become necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6 Para. 1 Letter d) GDPR. Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 Para. 1 Letter f) GDPR. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms of the person concerned do not prevail. Such processing operations are permitted to us in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, he took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the person responsible (recital 47 sentence 2 DSGVO).

XI. Legitimate interests in processing pursued by the controller or a third party

If the processing of personal data is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 Letter f) GDPR, our legitimate interest is conducting our business for the benefit of all our employees and our shareholders.

XII. The person responsible or your contact person

If the processing of personal data is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 Letter f) GDPR, our legitimate interest is conducting our business for the benefit of all our employees and our shareholders.
