5.1.3 Vimeo

Our website uses videos from the provider Vimeo LLC (330 West 34th Street, 5th Floor, New York, New York 10001, USA). Vimeo is a video streaming platform.

Through a plugin, we are able to display video material directly on our website. By watching videos, you automatically utilize the services of Vimeo and your browser connects to Vimeo's servers. Regardless of whether you have a Vimeo account or not, the following data is collected and transmitted to Vimeo LLC: IP address, technical information about your browser type, operating system, basic device information, and information about which website you are using the Vimeo service on (such as session duration, bounce rate, which button with built-in Vimeo function on our website you clicked on). If you are logged into a Vimeo account, more data can usually be processed, especially with your actions on our website being directly linked to your video account. To prevent this, you must log out of your Vimeo account while using our website. In the context of using Vimeo, personal data may be transferred to countries outside the EU/EEA, especially the USA. In order to ensure an adequate level of protection for the transfer of personal data to such so-called third countries, we have entered into EU-US Standard Contractual Clauses with Vimeo. The European Court of Justice considers the USA to be a country with an insufficient level of data protection according to EU standards. Due to the absence of an adequacy decision and without appropriate safeguards, there is a particular risk that your data may be processed by US authorities for control and surveillance purposes, potentially even without legal recourse. Furthermore, if possible, we are in exchange with the service provider to ensure the protection of your personal data with any necessary additional measures. The legal basis for the use of this service for the associated storage of information on your device and subsequent reading is your explicitly given consent according to § 25 (1) s. 1 TTDSG. You can revoke this consent at any time by deactivating cookies in your browser settings or in our cookie consent manager for the future. The subsequent processing of your personal data is based on your explicitly given consent according to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time by deactivating cookies in your browser settings or in our cookie consent manager for the future. Furthermore, we refer to section 4.

The set cookies have a maximum validity of 2 years

For the purpose and scope of data collection, further processing and use of data by Vimeo, as well as your rights and options for protecting your privacy, please refer to Vimeo's privacy policy: https://vimeo.com/privacy

5.2.1 Performance cookies - Google Analytics

On this website, we use the web analytics service Google Analytics from Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountainview, CA 94043 USA ("Google"). Google Analytics uses cookies to enable an analysis of your use of our website.

If you allow the use, the following data will be processed:

• Date and time of access
• The pages you accessed, your click path,
• Achievement of website goals,
• User behavior, such as clicks, length of stay, bounce rates,
• Approximate geographic location (region),
• Anonymized IP address,
• Technical information about your browser and the end devices used, such as language settings, screen resolution,
• Referrer URL.

The information generated by these cookies is usually transferred to and stored on a Google server in the USA. When using Google Analytics, it is possible that the cookies set by Google Analytics may also capture additional personally identifiable information in addition to the IP address. We would like to point out that Google may transmit this information to third parties if required by law or if third parties process this data on behalf of Google.

Google will use the information generated by cookies on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services related to website usage and internet usage to the website operator. According to Google, the IP address transmitted by your browser within the scope of Google Analytics will not be combined with other Google data.

You can generally prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser software accordingly. However, please note that if you do this, you may not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent.

It is possible that the cookies set by Google Analytics may also capture additional personally identifiable information in addition to the IP address. To prevent information about your use of the website from being collected by Google Analytics and transmitted to Google Analytics, you can download and install a browser plugin using the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en. This plugin prevents information about your visit to the website from being transmitted to Google Analytics. However, this plugin does not prevent any other analysis.

Please note that you cannot use the above-described browser plugin when visiting our website through the browser of a mobile device (smartphone or tablet). By clicking on this link, a so-called opt-out cookie is set in your browser. This cookie prevents information about your visit to the website from being transmitted to Google Analytics. Please note that the opt-out cookie is only valid for this browser and this domain. If you delete the cookies in this browser, the opt-out cookie will also be deleted. To continue preventing the collection by Google Analytics, you must click the link again. The use of the opt-out cookie is also possible as an alternative to the above plugin when using the browser on your computer.

To ensure the best possible protection of your personal data, Google Analytics on this website has been expanded with the code "anonymizeIp." This code ensures that the last 8 bits of the IP addresses are deleted, and your IP address is thus anonymously recorded (so-called IP masking). Google generally truncates and anonymizes your IP address before transmission within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there.

As part of the use of Google Analytics, personal data may be transferred to countries outside the EU/EEA, in particular the USA. To ensure adequate protection of your personal data when transferring personal data to such so-called third countries, we have concluded so-called EU-US standard contractual clauses with Google. The European Court of Justice has classified the USA as a country with a level of data protection that is inadequate according to EU standards. Due to the lack of an adequacy decision and without appropriate guarantees, there is a particular risk that your data may be processed by US authorities for control and monitoring purposes, possibly also without legal remedies. Furthermore, if possible, we are in contact with the service provider to ensure the protection of your personal data with any necessary additional measures.

The legal basis for the use of this service for the associated storage of information on your device and subsequent reading thereof is your expressly given consent according to § 25 (1) s.1 TTDSG. You can revoke this consent at any time by deactivating cookies in your browser settings or in our cookie consent manager for the future. The subsequent processing of your personal data is based on your expressly given consent according to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can revoke this consent at any time by deactivating cookies in your browser settings or in our cookie consent manager for the future. Furthermore, we refer to paragraph 4.

The set cookies are valid for a maximum of 24 months. The personal data collected using the cookie will be stored for 2 months and deleted if there is no other statutory retention obligation.

The European Court of Justice considers the USA to be a country with an insufficient level of data protection according to EU standards.

The reCAPTCHA analyses take place completely in the background. Website visitors are not notified that an analysis is taking place.

Due to the absence of an adequacy decision and without appropriate safeguards, there is a particular risk that your data may be processed by US authorities for control and monitoring purposes, possibly even without recourse possibilities. In addition, if possible, we are in contact with the providers to ensure the protection of your personal data with any additional measures that may be required.

The cookies have a validity period of 30 days. The personal data collected with the help of the cookie is stored for 2 months and deleted if there is no other statutory retention requirement.
