This also applies to processing that is required for the execution of pre-contractually measures. If such processing is required to maintain a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, and if the interests, basic rights and fundamental freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the former interest, Section 6 Subsection 1 lit. f GDPR serves as legal basis for such processing.

3. Data deletion and duration of storage

Personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose for storing such data no longer applies. Storage beyond such a period can be effected if such storage is prescribed by the European or national legislative body in provisions pertaining to European Union law or other provisions the data subject is subject to.

2. Social media sharing button

General notice: Social media plugins usually lead to the fact that every visitor to a website is immediately captured by such services by means of his IP address and that his subsequent browser behavior is logged. This can also occur if you do not press the button. To prevent this, we use the Shariff method. Here, our social media buttons only establish direct contact between the social network and you only if you click on the respective sharing button. If you are already logged in with a social network, this is done without an extra window for Facebook and Google+. Twitter displays a pop-up window in which the text of the tweet can still be edited. This way, you may publish our content in social networks without such networks being able to compile complete surfing profiles.

Facebook

Our website uses plugins of the social network Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. By using the Shariff method, Facebook only gains knowledge of your IP address and your visit to our website if you click the button. If you use the plugin while being logged in on Facebook, Facebook is able to allocate your use to your user account.
We have no knowledge of any subsequent potential collection and use of your data by Facebook and also have no influence on such.

Our website uses plugins of the social network Twitter Inc., 795 Folsom Street, Suite 600, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA. By using the Shariff method, Twitter only gains knowledge of your IP address and your visit to our website if you click the button.
We have no knowledge of any subsequent potential collection and use of your data by Twitter and also have no influence on such. More information can be found in the data privacy statement of Twitter at twitter.com/privacy. Regarding the general handling with and the disabling of cookies, we also always refer to our general description in this data privacy statement.

If you play these videos, YouTube cookies and DoubleClick cookies are stored on your computer, and data is potentially transmitted to Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, as the operator of YouTube.

When playing videos stored by YouTube, according to current information, at the very minimum the following data is transmitted to Google Inc. as operator of YouTube and operator of the DoubleClick network: IP address and cookie ID, the specific address of our accessed page, system date and time of access, your browser ID. Transmission of such data is carried out independent of whether you have a Google user account via which you are logged in or you do not have a user account. If you are logged in, such data is potentially directly allocated to your account by Google. If you do not want such allocation to your profile, you have to log out prior to activating the playback button for the video.

YouTube or Google Inc. store such data as usage profiles and, if applicable, use such for purposes of marketing, market research and/or for the demand-driven design of their websites. Such an analysis is carried out in particular (also for users who are not logged in) to provide demand-driven advertising and to inform other users about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of such usage profiles; to exercise your right, you will have to contact Google as the operator of YouTube.
