Use of video platforms

YouTube

The online platform uses integrated videos from YouTube, a service of Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google"). As soon as you call up a page of our website equipped with an embedded video, a connection is established to YouTube's servers and they are informed which website you are currently on. You may also be connected to the Google DoubleClick network. If you start the video, this could trigger further data processing processes. We have no control over this. For more information about privacy at YouTube, please see their privacy policy at: policies.google.com/privacy;

Vimeo

The online platform uses embedded videos from Vimeo, a service provided by Vimeo, Inc. (555 West 18th Street New York, New York 10011; "Vimeo"). As soon as you access a page of our website that contains an embedded video, a connection will be established to Vimeo's servers and they will be notified of the website you are currently on. When you start the video, it may trigger further data processing. We have no control over this. For more information about Vimeo's privacy practices, please see their privacy policy at: vimeo.com/privacy

Social-Media-Plug-Ins

We currently use the following social media plug-ins: Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, Xing. The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by the providers on their pages, as well as your rights in this regard and setting options to protect your privacy, please refer to the privacy notices of the providers.

The plug-in provider stores the data collected about you as user profiles and uses these for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or the needs-based design of its website. Such an evaluation especially takes place (also for users who are not logged in) in order to display demand-oriented advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact the respective plug-in provider to exercise this right. The plug-ins enable you to interact with social networks and other users so that we can improve our services and make them more interesting for you as a user. The legal basis for the use of the plug-ins is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. (a) GDPR, if you decide to use them.

The data transfer takes place regardless of whether you have an account with the plug-in provider and are logged in there. If you are logged in with the plug-in provider, your data will be assigned directly to your existing account with the plug-in provider. We recommend that you log out regularly after using a social network, but especially before activating the button, as this allows you to avoid being assigned to your profile by the plug-in provider.

Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and processing by the plug-in provider can be found in the following data protection declaration of this provider. There you will also find further information on your rights in this regard and setting options to protect your privacy:

Scalable central measuring method (INFOnline)

Our website uses the measuring method ("SZMnG") of INFOnline GmbH (https://www.INFOnline.de) to determine statistical parameters on the use of our offers. The aim of the usage measurement is to determine the number of visits to our website, the number of website visitors and their surfing behaviour statistically - on the basis of a uniform standard procedure - and thus to obtain comparable values throughout the market. For all digital offers that are members of the Information Community for Determining the Distribution of Advertising Media e.V. (IVW - www.ivw.eu) or in the studies of the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Online-Forschung e.V. (AGOF - www.agof.de), the usage statistics are regularly updated by AGOF and the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Media-Analyse e.V. (agma - www.agma-mmc.de) and publish them with the performance value "Unique User" as well as by the IVW with the performance values "Page Impression" and "Visits". These ranges and statistics can be viewed on the respective websites.

The measurement by means of the SZMnG measurement procedure by INFOnline GmbH is carried out with justified interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO. The purpose of the processing of personal data is the compilation of statistics and the creation of user categories. The statistics serve to be able to trace and document the use of our offer. The user categories form the basis for the alignment of advertising media or advertising measures in line with the interests of the user. In order to market this website, it is essential to measure usage, which ensures comparability with other market participants. Our legitimate interest results from the economic usability of the knowledge gained from the statistics and user categories and the market value of our website - also in direct comparison with websites of third parties - which can be determined by means of the statistics. Furthermore, we have a legitimate interest in making the pseudonymised data available to INFOnline, AGOF and IVW for the purpose of market research (AGOF, agma) and for statistical purposes (INFOnline, IVW). Furthermore, we have a legitimate interest in making the pseudonymised data available to INFOnline for the further development and provision of advertising material in line with our interests.

INFOnline GmbH collects the following data, which, according to the EU-DSGVO, are personal data:

  • IP address: On the Internet, every device requires a unique address, the so-called IP address, to transmit data. The at least short-term storage of the IP address is technically necessary due to the way the Internet works. The IP addresses are shortened by 1 byte before any processing and are only processed further in an anonymised form. There is no storage or further processing of the unabridged IP addresses.
  • A randomly generated client identifier: For the recognition of computer systems the range processing uses alternatively either a cookie with the identification "ioam.de", a "Local Storage Object" or a signature, which is created from various automatically transmitted information of your browser. This identifier is unique to a browser as long as the cookie or local storage object is not deleted. A measurement of the data and subsequent assignment to the respective client identifier is therefore also possible when you call up other web pages that also use the measurement method ("SZMnG") of INFOnline GmbH. The validity of the cookie is limited to a maximum of 1 year.

The INFOnline GmbH measurement procedure used on this website determines usage data. This is done in order to collect the performance values of page impressions, visits and clients and to form further key figures from this (e.g. qualified clients). In addition, the measured data is used as follows:

  • A so-called geolocalisation, i.e. the allocation of a website call to the location of the call, is carried out exclusively on the basis of the anonymised IP address and only up to the geographical level of the federal states / regions. From the geographical information obtained in this way, no conclusion can be drawn under any circumstances as to the actual location of a user.
  • The usage data of a technical client (e.g. a browser on a device) are merged across websites and stored in a database. This information is used for the technical estimation of the socioinformation age and gender and is transferred to the service providers of AGOF for further coverage processing. Within the scope of the AGOF study, social characteristics are technically estimated on the basis of a random sample which can be assigned to the following categories: Age, gender, nationality, professional activity, marital status, general household data, household income, place of residence, Internet use, online interests, place of use, user type.

The complete IP address is not stored by INFOnline GmbH. The abbreviated IP address is stored for a maximum of 60 days. The usage data in connection with the unique identifier is stored for a maximum of 6 months.

The IP address as well as the abbreviated IP address will not be passed on. For the preparation of the AGOF study, data with client identifiers will be forwarded to the following AGOF service providers:
