The company providing the service in the European Economic Area and Switzerland is Google Ireland Limited, a company incorporated and operated under the laws of Ireland (registration no: 368047) having its registered office at Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (referred to as “YouTube”, “we”, “us” or “our”). References in these Terms of Use to the “Affiliates” of YouTube refer to the companies within the Alphabet Inc. corporate group pursuant to sections 15 et seq. of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG).

We use YouTube in connection with the Enhanced Privacy Mode function so that we can show you videos. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in improving the quality of our website.

According to YouTube, the Enhanced Privacy Mode function ensures that the data detailed below is only transmitted to the YouTube server when you actually start a video. Without this Enhanced Privacy Mode, a connection to the YouTube server in the USA is established as soon as you access one of our web pages on which a YouTube video is embedded. This connection is necessary so that you can view the respective video on our website via your internet browser. During this process, YouTube will as a minimum record and process your IP address, the date and time as well as the website you visited. In addition, a connection to Google’s “DoubleClick” advertising network is established. If you are simultaneously logged in to YouTube, YouTube will assign the connection information to your YouTube account. If you wish to prevent this, you must either log out of YouTube before visiting our website or make the appropriate settings in your YouTube user account.

For purposes of functionality and analysis of user behavior, YouTube permanently stores cookies on your end device via your Internet browser. If you do not agree to this processing, you have the option of preventing the storage of cookies by changing the settings in your Internet browser. You can find more information on this under the heading “Cookies” above. Google provides further information on the collection and use of data as well as your rights and protection options in this regard in the privacy information available at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

The following data is transmitted, among others:
For visitors who are not logged in / registered with Facebook:
IP address: Facebook automatically determines the IP address of the user when a fan page is accessed.
Cookies: If you call up our fan page, Facebook will automatically place technically necessary cookies in your IT system. At present, the only cookie we are aware of is the so-called datr cookie. According to Facebook, it is used to identify the web browser that establishes the connection to the Facebook page and plays a key role in protecting the social network from “malicious activities”. The datr cookie is active for two years but can be deleted in the browser settings.

For visitors who are registered with Facebook and logged in:
IP address: Facebook also determines the user’s IP address for logged-in visitors (see above)
Cookies: In this case, too, Facebook will place a datr cookie (see above). If you are a Facebook member and are logged in in your Facebook profile when visiting our fan page, an additional c_user cookie will be installed. Facebook adds the visit to the company page to your personal user account. This enables Facebook to track your user behavior.
The use of cookies for Facebook products is beyond our control. The number and description of the cookies mentioned above reflect our current state of knowledge of this matter.

To our knowledge, Facebook currently processes user data for the following purposes:
  • Advertising, analysis, creation of personalized advertising
  • Creation of user profiles
  • Market research
  • Improving their own products
  • Developing new products

When you visit our Facebook fan page, Facebook will automatically store information in a log file that your browser transmits to Facebook. We expressly point out that we have no knowledge of the scope and content of the data collected by Facebook, nor of its processing and use or transmission, if any, to third parties by Facebook.

In addition, Facebook provides the operators of fan pages with the “Facebook Insights” tool which can be used to retrieve statistical information (i.e. non-personal data) about the use of their pages. This includes, for example, the total number of page views and “likes”, page activity, post interactions, video views, post reach, comments, shared content, replies, proportion of men and women, origin in relation to country and city, language, and other information, if any.
If you are a Facebook member and do not want Facebook to collect your data through our fan page and link the data to your membership data stored on Facebook, you must:

  • log out of Facebook before visiting our fan page;
  • then delete the cookies on your device
  • and close and restart your browser.

That way, according to Facebook, all Facebook information that can be used to identify you will be deleted.
You can assert your rights as a data subject in accordance with the GDPR with Facebook Ireland in the first instance or else with us. In accordance with the ruling of the ECJ, the fan page is operated under joint controllership of Facebook and us in accordance with Article 26 GDPR (see Page Controller Addendum) at https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/page_controller_addendum). To view the contents of the link, you must be logged in to Facebook.

The primary responsibility under the GDPR for the processing of Insights data lies with Facebook and Facebook fulfills all obligations under the GDPR with regard to the processing of Insights data. For more information on the Insights data please visit (https://de-de.facebook.com/legal/terms/information_about_page_insights_data).

Facebook Ireland alone makes and implements decisions regarding the processing of Insights data. We do not make any decisions regarding the processing of Insights data and any other information resulting from Art. 13 of the GDPR, including the legal basis, identity of the controller, and storage duration of cookies on user end devices.

As far as we are currently aware, Insights data is normally anonymized and summarized in statistics so that no natural person can be identified. We do not require a legal basis to process this type of data. In exceptional cases, however, a person may be directly or indirectly identifiable. In such a case, we process the Insights data provided to us by Facebook in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR (based on our overriding legitimate interest). The purpose of the processing is to make the Facebook fan page more attractive for our users.
