Data protection

Data privacy declaration

Privacy policy

1. Introduction

With the following information, we would like to give you as a "data subject" an overview of the processing of your personal data by us and your rights under data protection laws. It is generally possible to use our website without entering personal data. However, if you wish to make use of special services of our company via our website, it may be necessary to process personal data. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we will generally obtain your consent.

The processing of personal data, such as your name, address or e-mail address, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to "MINDA GmbH". By means of this data protection declaration, we would like to inform you about the scope and purpose of the personal data collected, used and processed by us.

As the controller, we have implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data processed via this website is protected as completely as possible. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, you are free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone or post.

You too can take simple and easy-to-implement measures to protect yourself against unauthorised access to your data by third parties. We would therefore like to give you some tips here on how to handle your data securely:

Protect your account (login, user or customer account) and your IT system (computer, laptop, tablet or mobile device) with secure passwords.
Only you should have access to the passwords.
Make sure that you only ever use your passwords for one account (login, user or customer account).
Do not use the same password for different websites, applications or online services.
Especially when using publicly accessible IT systems or IT systems shared with other people, you should always log out after logging in to a website, application or online service.

Passwords should consist of at least 12 characters and be chosen in such a way that they cannot be easily guessed. Therefore, they should not contain common everyday words, your own name or the names of relatives, but should contain upper and lower case letters, numbers and special characters.

4. Definitions

The data protection declaration is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy should be easy to read and understand for the public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance.

We use the following terms, among others, in this privacy policy:

1. Personal data

Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

2. Person concerned

Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller (our company).

3. Processing

Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

4. Restriction of processing

Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of restricting its future processing.

5. Profiling

Profiling is any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.

6. Pseudonymisation

Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

7. Processors

Processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

8. Recipient

Recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body, to which the personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular enquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients.

9. Third party

Third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorised to process personal data.

10. Consent

Consent is any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

5. Legal basis of the processing

Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR (in conjunction with. § Section 25 (1) TDDDG (formerly TTDSG)) 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 for the fulfilment of a contract to which you are 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 lit. b) GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of enquiries about our products or services.

If our company is subject to a legal obligation which requires the processing of personal data, such as for the fulfilment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c) GDPR.

In rare cases, it may be necessary to process personal data in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor to our company were injured and their name, age, health insurance details or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. The processing would then be based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d) GDPR.

Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not covered by any of the abovementioned legal grounds, if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, it took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if you are a customer of our company (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).

Our services are generally aimed at adults. Persons under the age of 16 may not transmit any personal data to us without the consent of their parents or legal guardians. We do not request personal data from children and young people, do not collect it and do not pass it on to third parties.

6. Transmission of data to third parties

Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those listed below.

We only pass on your personal data to third parties if:

1. you have given us your express consent to do so in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR,

2. the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR is permitted to protect our legitimate interests and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in not disclosing your data,

3. in the event that there is a legal obligation for disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c) GDPR, and

4. this is legally permissible and necessary for the processing of contractual relationships with you in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.

In order to protect your data and, if necessary, to enable us to transfer data to third countries (outside the EU/EEA), we have concluded data processing agreements based on the European Commission's standard contractual clauses. If the standard contractual clauses are not sufficient to establish an adequate level of security, your consent may serve as the legal basis for the transfer to third countries in accordance with Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. This sometimes does not apply to data transfers to third countries for which the European Commission has issued an adequacy decision in accordance with Art. 45 GDPR.

7. Technology

7.1 SSL/TLS encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption to ensure the security of data processing and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders, login data or contact enquiries that you send to us as the operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser contains "https://" instead of "http://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

We use this technology to protect your transmitted data.

7.2 Data collection when visiting the website

If you only use our website for information purposes, if you do not register or otherwise provide us with information or do not give your consent to processing that requires consent, we only collect the data that is technically necessary for the provision of the service. This is regularly data that your browser transmits to our server ("in so-called server log files"). Our website collects a range of general data and information each time you or an automated system accesses a page. This general data and information is stored in the server log files. The following can be recorded:

1. browser types and versions used,

2. the operating system used by the accessing system,

3. the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrer),

4. the subpages that are accessed via an accessing system on our website,

5. the date and time of access to the website,

6. a shortened Internet Protocol address (anonymised IP address) and,

7. the Internet service provider of the accessing system.

When using this general data and information, we do not draw any conclusions about your person. Rather, this information is required in order to

1. to deliver the content of our website correctly,

2. to optimise the content of our website and the advertising for it,

3. to ensure the permanent functionality of our IT systems and the technology of our website, and

4. to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber-attack.

This collected data and information is therefore analysed by us both statistically and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data processed by us. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the data collection purposes listed above.

7.3 Encrypted payment transactions

If there is an obligation to provide us with your payment data (e.g. the account number when issuing a direct debit authorisation) after the conclusion of a chargeable contract, this data is required for payment processing.

Payment transactions via the usual means of payment (Visa/MasterCard or direct debit) are made exclusively via an encrypted SSL or TLS connection. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

We use this technology to protect your transmitted data.

7.4 Amazon CloudFront (Content Delivery Network)

We use Amazon CloudFront, a web service from Amazon Web Services Inc, 410 Terry Avenue North, 98109, Seattle, Washington, USA.

Amazon CloudFront is a content delivery network (CDN). It routes the transfer of information between your browser and our website via the CloudFront network. This reduces the latency with which we can provide static and dynamic web content. It also improves the security of our website through traffic encryption and access controls.

CloudFront also stores cookies on your computer to optimise the service. You can delete cookies in your browser, allow cookies only in individual cases and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser.

Amazon Web Services receives and processes personal data as our processor in accordance with EU standard contractual clauses. CloudFront is used to collect statistical data about visits to our website. This includes, among other things:

IP address
Called website
Referrer URL
Browser type
Operating system
Device type

If you have consented to the use of CloudFront, the legal basis for the processing of personal data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. In addition, it is in our legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR to use CloudFront to optimise our website, to make it more secure and not to operate a content delivery network ourselves. The personal data is stored by Amazon Web Services for as long as is necessary to fulfil the described purpose.

Amazon Web Services Inc. is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. An adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR is hereby available, so that a transfer of personal data may also take place without further guarantees or additional measures.

You can find more detailed information about CloudFront at: https://aws.amazon.com/de/cloudfront/.

7.5 Amazon Web Services (AWS) - Hosting of individual components

Components of Amazon Web Services (AWS) of Amazon.com Inc, Seattle, 410 Terry Ave N, United States, are integrated on our website. Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world's most comprehensive and most frequently used cloud.

The purpose of using AWS in the present case is, among other things, to host applications and services on AWS and to rent resources for computing-intensive tasks.

If you have consented to the use of the services hosted by AWS, the legal basis for the processing of personal data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. In addition, it is in our legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR to use the hosting of individual components at AWS in order to operate our website in an appealing and secure manner.

The parent company Amazon Inc. is certified as a US company under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. This constitutes an adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR, meaning that personal data may be transferred without further guarantees or additional measures.

You can view AWS's privacy policy at: https://d1.awsstatic.com/legal/privacypolicy/AWS_Privacy_Notice_German_2023-08-11.pdf.

7.6 Hosting by Amazon Web Services - AWS

We host our website with Amazon Web Services (AWS). The provider is Amazon Web Services EMEA SARL, 38 Avenue John F. Kennedy, 1855 Luxembourg.

When you visit our website, your personal data is processed on the servers of AWS. Personal data may also be transmitted to the parent company of AWS in the USA.

The use of AWS is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in displaying our website as reliably as possible.

We have concluded an order processing contract with AWS. This is a contract prescribed by data protection law, which ensures that AWS processes the personal data of our website visitors only in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.

This US company is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. This constitutes an adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR, meaning that personal data may be transferred without further guarantees or additional measures.

8. Cookies

8.1 General information on cookies

Cookies are small files that your browser automatically creates and that are stored on your IT system (laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when you visit our website.

Information is stored in the cookie that results from the connection with the specific end device used. However, this does not mean that we obtain direct knowledge of your identity.

The use of cookies serves to make the use of our website more pleasant for you. For example, we use so-called session cookies to recognise that you have already visited individual pages of our website. These are automatically deleted after you leave our site.

In addition, we also use temporary cookies to optimise user-friendliness, which are stored on your end device for a specified period of time. If you visit our site again to use our services, it is automatically recognised that you have already visited us and which entries and settings you have made so that you do not have to enter them again.

On the other hand, we use cookies to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate our offer for you for the purpose of optimisation. These cookies enable us to automatically recognise that you have already visited our website when you visit it again. The cookies set in this way are automatically deleted after a defined period of time. The respective storage duration of the cookies can be found in the settings of the consent tool used.

8.2 Legal basis for the use of cookies

The data processed by the cookies, which are required for the proper functioning of the website, are therefore necessary to safeguard our legitimate interests and those of third parties in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

For all other cookies, you have given your consent to this via our opt-in cookie banner within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR.

9. Contents of our website

9.1 Data processing for order processing

The personal data collected by us will be passed on to the transport company commissioned with the delivery as part of the contract processing, insofar as this is necessary for the delivery of the goods. We pass on your payment data to the commissioned credit institution within the scope of payment processing, insofar as this is necessary for payment processing. If payment service providers are used, we will provide explicit information about this below. The legal basis for the transfer of data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.

9.2 Contact / contact form

Personal data is collected when you contact us (e.g. via contact form or email). Which data is collected when a contact form is used can be seen from the respective contact form. This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of responding to your enquiry or for contacting you and the associated technical administration. The legal basis for the processing of the data is our legitimate interest in responding to your request in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. If your contact is aimed at the conclusion of a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR. Your data will be deleted after final processing of your enquiry; this is the case if it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified and the deletion does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations.

9.3 Application management / job exchange

We collect and process the personal data of applicants for the purpose of handling the application process. Processing may also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits the relevant application documents to us electronically, for example by e-mail or via a web form on the website. If we conclude an employment or service contract with an applicant, the data transmitted will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If we do not conclude a contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests on our part prevent deletion. Another legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a burden of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

The legal basis for the processing of your data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b), 88 GDPR in conjunction with. § 26 para. 1 BDSG.

10. Web analysis

10.1 Google Analytics Universal

On our websites, we use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited (https://www.google.de/intl/de/about/), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google"). In this context, pseudonymised user profiles are created and cookies (see "Cookies") are used. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website such as

1. the browser type/version,

2. the operating system used,

3. the referrer URL (the previously visited page),

4. the host name of the accessing computer (IP address) and

5. time of the server request,

are transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The information is used to analyse the use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage for the purposes of market research and the needs-based design of this website. This information may also be transferred to third parties if this is required by law or if third parties process this data on our behalf. Under no circumstances will your IP address be merged with other Google data. The IP addresses are anonymised so that they cannot be assigned (IP masking).

You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website.

These processing operations will only be carried out if express consent has been given in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR.

You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing a browser add-on (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de).

The parent company Google LLC is certified as a US company under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. This constitutes an adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR, meaning that personal data may be transferred without further guarantees or additional measures.

11. Partner and affiliate programmes

11.1 DoubleClick

This website contains components of DoubleClick by Google. DoubleClick is a trademark of Google (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland), under which special online marketing solutions are marketed to advertising agencies and publishers.

DoubleClick by Google transmits data to the DoubleClick server with every impression as well as with clicks or other activities. Each of these data transfers triggers a cookie request to your browser. If the browser accepts this request, DoubleClick places a cookie on your IT system. The purpose of the cookie is to optimise and display advertising. Among other things, the cookie is used to place and display user-relevant adverts and to create reports on advertising campaigns or to improve them. The cookie is also used to avoid multiple displays of the same adverts.

DoubleClick uses a cookie ID that is required for the technical process. The cookie ID is required, for example, to display an advert in a browser. DoubleClick can also use the cookie ID to record which adverts have already been displayed in a browser in order to avoid duplication. The cookie ID also enables DoubleClick to record conversions.

A DoubleClick cookie does not contain any personal data. However, a DoubleClick cookie may contain additional campaign identifiers. A campaign identifier is used to identify the campaigns with which you have already been in contact.

Each time you access one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by us and on which a DoubleClick component has been integrated, the Internet browser on your IT system is prompted by the respective DoubleClick component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online advertising and billing of commissions. As part of this technical process, Google obtains knowledge of data that Google also uses to create commission statements. Among other things, Google can track that you have clicked on certain links on our website.

These processing operations are only carried out if express consent is given in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.

You can view the data protection provisions of DoubleClick by Google at: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/.

12. Plugins and other services

12.1 Google Maps

We use Google Maps (API) on our website. The operating company of Google Maps is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Ireland Limited is part of the Google group of companies headquartered at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google Maps is a web service for displaying interactive (land) maps in order to visualise geographical information. By using this service, you can, for example, view our location and make it easier for you to find us.

Information about your use of our website (such as your IP address) is transmitted to Google servers in the USA and stored there as soon as you access those subpages in which the Google Maps map is integrated, provided that you have given your consent within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. In addition, Google Maps loads Google Web Fonts and Google Photos as well as Google stats. The provider of these services is also Google Ireland Limited. When you access a page that integrates Google Maps, your browser loads the web fonts and photos required to display Google Maps into your browser cache. The browser you are using also establishes a connection to Google's servers for this purpose. This informs Google that our website has been accessed via your IP address. This occurs regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be assigned directly to your account. If you do not wish your data to be associated with your Google profile, you must log out of your Google user account. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and analyses them. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact Google to exercise this right.

If you do not agree to the future transmission of your data to Google in connection with the use of Google Maps, you also have the option of completely deactivating the Google Maps web service by switching off the JavaScript application in your browser. Google Maps and thus also the map display on this website can then not be used.

These processing operations are only carried out if express consent has been granted in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.

You can view Google's terms of use at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/terms/regional.html, the additional terms of use for Google Maps can be found at https://www.google.com/intl/de_US/help/terms_maps.html.

You can view the data protection provisions of Google Maps at ("Google Privacy Policy"): https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

12.2 Google Photos

We use the Google Photos service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, to store images that are embedded on our website.

Embedding is the integration of specific third-party content (text, video or image data) that is provided by another website (Google Photos) and then appears on your own website (our website). An embed code is used for embedding. If we have integrated an embed code, the external content from Google Photos is displayed immediately by default as soon as one of our web pages is visited.

Your IP address is transmitted to Google Photos via the technical implementation of the embedding code that enables the display of images from Google Photos. Google Photos also records our website, the type of browser used, the browser language, the time and length of access. In addition, Google Photos may collect information about which of our subpages you have visited and which links you have clicked on, as well as other interactions you have carried out when visiting our site. This data may be stored and analysed by Google Photos.

These processing operations are only carried out if express consent has been granted in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.

You can view Google's privacy policy at: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.

12.3 Google Tag Manager

We use the Google Tag Manager service on this website. The operating company of Google Tag Manager is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Ireland Limited is part of the Google group of companies headquartered at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

This tool allows "website tags" (i.e. keywords that are integrated into HTML elements) to be implemented and managed via an interface. By using Google Tag Manager, we can automatically track which button, link or personalised image you have actively clicked on and can then record which content on our website is of particular interest to you.

The tool also triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If you have deactivated at domain or cookie level, this remains in place for all tracking tags that are implemented with Google Tag Manager.

These processing operations are only carried out if express consent has been granted in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.

Further information on Google Tag Manager and Google's privacy policy can be found at: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

12.4 Google WebFonts

Our website uses so-called web fonts for the standardised display of fonts. Google Web Fonts are provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Ireland Limited is part of the Google group of companies headquartered at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

These processing operations are only carried out if express consent has been granted in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.

Further information on Google WebFonts and Google's privacy policy can be found at: https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq ; https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.

12.5 YouTube (videos)

We have integrated YouTube components on this website. The operating company of YouTube is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. YouTube, LLC is a subsidiary of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

YouTube is an Internet video portal that allows video publishers to post video clips free of charge and other users to view, rate and comment on them, also free of charge. YouTube allows the publication of all types of videos, which is why complete film and television programmes as well as music videos, trailers or videos made by users themselves can be accessed via the Internet portal. Each time you access one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by us and on which a YouTube component (YouTube video) has been integrated, the Internet browser on your IT system is automatically prompted by the respective YouTube component to download a representation of the corresponding YouTube component from YouTube. The services Google WebFonts, Google Video and Google Photo can also be downloaded from YouTube. Further information about YouTube can be found at https://www.youtube.com/yt/about/de/. As part of this technical process, YouTube and Google receive information about which specific subpage of our website you are visiting.

If you are logged in to YouTube at the same time, YouTube recognises which specific sub-page of our website you are visiting when you access a sub-page containing a YouTube video. This information is collected by YouTube and Google and assigned to your YouTube account.

YouTube and Google always receive information via the YouTube component that you have visited our website if you are logged in to YouTube at the same time as accessing our website; this occurs regardless of whether you click on a YouTube video or not. If you do not want this information to be transmitted to YouTube and Google, you can prevent it from being transmitted by logging out of your YouTube account before accessing our website.

These processing operations are only carried out if express consent has been granted in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.

You can view YouTube's privacy policy at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

12.6 YouTube videos in extended data protection mode (YouTube NoCookies)

Some subpages of our website contain links or links to YouTube content. In general, we are not responsible for the content of linked websites. However, in the event that you follow a link to YouTube, we would like to point out that YouTube stores the data of its users (e.g. personal information, IP address) in accordance with its own data usage guidelines and uses it for business purposes.

The opeating company of YouTube is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA.

We also directly integrate videos stored on YouTube on some subpages of our website. With this integration, content from the YouTube website is displayed in parts of a browser window. When you call up a (sub)page of our website on which YouTube videos are integrated, a connection to the YouTube servers is established and the content is displayed on the website by notifying your browser.

The integration of YouTube content only takes place in "extended data protection mode". This is provided by YouTube itself and ensures that YouTube does not initially store any cookies on your device. However, when the relevant pages are called up, the IP address and, if applicable, other data are transmitted and thus, in particular, which of our websites you have visited. However, this information cannot be assigned to you unless you have logged in to YouTube or another Google service before accessing the page or are permanently logged in. As soon as you start playing an embedded video by clicking on it, YouTube only stores cookies on your device through the extended data protection mode, which do not contain any personally identifiable data, unless you are currently logged in to a Google service. These cookies can be prevented using the appropriate browser settings and extensions.

Requesting the video also constitutes your consent to the placement of the corresponding cookie (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR).

You can view YouTube's privacy policy at: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.
