In addition, the data mentioned under Section 3 of this declaration will be transmitted. 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 is directly assigned to your account. If you do not want this assignment to your profile at Google, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data as usage profiles and uses it for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or demand-oriented design of its website.

Use of YouTube plugins
We use the provider YouTube for the integration of videos on our website. YouTube is operated by YouTube LLC with its principal place of business at 901 Cherry Avenue, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA.

On some of our web pages we use plugins of the provider YouTube. When you call up the Internet pages of our website that are provided with such a plugin – for example, our media library – a connection is established to the YouTube servers and the plugin is displayed. This transmits which of our Internet pages you have visited to the YouTube server. If you are logged in to YouTube as a member, YouTube assigns this information to your personal user account. When using the plugin, such as clicking the start button of a video, this information is also assigned to your user account. You can prevent this assignment by logging out of your YouTube user account and other user accounts of the companies YouTube LLC and Google Inc. before using our website and by deleting the corresponding cookies of the companies.

If the data are no longer required for the fulfillment of contractual or legal obligations, they are regularly deleted. Unless a limited and restricted further processing is required for the fulfillment of retention periods under commercial and tax law pursuant to the German Commercial Code (HGB) and German Fiscal Code (AO).

In addition, the statutory limitation periods, which, according to the German Civil Code (BGB), can be up to 30 years in certain cases (the general limitation period is 3 years), must be taken into account for the storage period.
