Sharing on Social Networks and YouTube
The content on our pages can be shared in various social networks such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or Google+. However, we do not use plugins provided by these social networks on our pages. These tools automatically and without request transmit a variety of user data to the operators of these social networks. According to data protection authorities and courts, such automatic transmission of user data to social network operators is illegal and can be subject to warnings. Therefore, such data transmission does not take place on our pages without the consent of the users. We use the Safe Sharing Tool from eRecht24. This means that direct contact between the networks and users is only established when the user actively clicks on one of these buttons. If the user is logged into one of the social networks, an information window will appear when using the social buttons, in which the user can edit the information text before sending it. As a visitor, you can surf these pages without fear of unauthorized data transmission and post content you like on social networks without the operators of the networks creating complete surfing profiles.
Our website uses plugins from the YouTube site operated by Google. The operator of the pages is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. When you visit one of our pages equipped with a YouTube plugin, a connection to YouTube’s servers is established. The YouTube server is informed about which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to directly associate your browsing behavior with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account. For more information on how YouTube handles user data, see YouTube’s privacy policy: [https://www.youtube.com/ – Datenschutz](https://www.youtube.com/ – Datenschutz)
IP Anonymization
We have activated the IP anonymization feature on this website. As a result, your IP address will be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services related to website and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data from Google.
