10) Use of social media: Videos
Use of YouTube videos
This website uses the YouTube embedding function to display and play videos from the provider ‘YouTube’, which belongs to Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (‘Google’).
This uses the extended data protection mode, which, according to the provider, only starts storing user information when the video(s) is/are played. When embedded YouTube videos are played, the provider ‘YouTube’ uses cookies to collect information about user behaviour. According to YouTube, this serves, among other things, to collect video statistics, improve user-friendliness and prevent abusive behaviour. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly associated with your account when you click on a video. If you do not want this association with your YouTube profile, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and evaluates them. Such evaluation is carried out in particular in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR on the basis of Google’s legitimate interests in displaying personalised advertising, market research and/or the needs-based design of its website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact YouTube to exercise this right. When using YouTube, personal data may also be transferred to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA.
Regardless of whether the embedded videos are played, a connection to the Google network is established each time this website is accessed, which may trigger further data processing operations beyond our control.
Further information on data protection at YouTube can be found in the YouTube Terms of Use at https://www.youtube.com/static?template=terms and in Google’s privacy policy at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.
To the extent required by law, we have obtained your consent to the processing of your data as described above in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your right of revocation, deactivate this service in the ‘Cookie Consent Tool’ provided on the website.
11) Tools and miscellaneous
11.1 Google reCAPTCHA
On this website, we also use the reCAPTCHA function from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (‘Google’). This function is primarily used to distinguish whether an entry is made by a natural person or is being misused by machine and automated processing. The service involves sending the IP address and, if necessary, other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service to Google and is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in determining individual responsibility on the Internet and preventing misuse and spam. When using Google reCAPTCHA, personal data may also be transferred to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA.
Further information on Google reCAPTCHA and Google’s privacy policy can be found at: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/

If you give your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR, we will forward your email address to Google.

The rating you submit will then be combined with our other ratings and displayed in our Google Customer Reviews logo and in our Merchant Centre dashboard. Your rating will also be used for Google seller ratings. When using Google Customer Reviews, personal data may also be transferred to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA.

13) How long personal info is stored
The duration of the storage of personal data is determined by the respective legal basis, the purpose of processing and, if relevant, additionally by the respective statutory retention period (e.g. commercial and tax law retention periods).
When personal data is processed on the basis of explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, this data is stored until the data subject revokes their consent.

Information on data processing in connection with Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited. If the data controller for this website is located outside the European Economic Area or Switzerland, Google Analytics data processing is carried out by Google LLC. Google LLC and Google Ireland Limited are hereinafter referred to as ‘Google’.
Google Analytics uses ‘cookies’, which are text files placed on the visitor’s computer, to help the website analyse how visitors use the site. The information generated by the cookie about the visitor’s use of the website (including their abbreviated IP address) is usually transmitted to and stored by Google on a server.
Google Analytics is used exclusively with the extension ‘_anonymizeIp()’ on this website. This extension ensures anonymisation of the IP address by truncation and excludes direct personal references. The extension truncates the IP address by Google within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. The IP address transmitted by the relevant browser within the scope of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data.
On behalf of the website operator, Google will use the information collected to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage to the website operator (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). The legitimate interest in data processing lies in the optimisation of this website, the analysis of website usage and the adaptation of content. The interests of users are adequately protected by pseudonymisation.
Google LLC. offers a guarantee based on standard contractual clauses to maintain an adequate level of data protection. The data sent and linked to cookies, user IDs (e.g. user ID) or advertising IDs is automatically deleted after 50 months. Data that has reached its retention period is automatically deleted once a month.
Collection by Google Analytics can be prevented by adjusting the cookie settings for this website. The collection and storage of the IP address and the data generated by cookies can also be revoked at any time with future effect. The corresponding browser plugin can be downloaded and installed at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Visitors to this website can prevent Google Analytics from collecting data by clicking on the following link. An opt-out cookie will be set to prevent future collection of data when visiting this website.
Further information on data use by Google, settings and objection options can be found in Google’s privacy policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy) and in the settings for the display of advertisements by Google (https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated).
reCAPTCHA
To protect your enquiries via the online form, we use the reCAPTCHA service provided by Google LLC (Google). The query serves to distinguish whether the input is made by a human or abusively by automated, machine processing. The query includes sending the IP address and, if necessary, other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service to Google. For this purpose, your input is transmitted to Google and used there. However, your IP address will be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. 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 this service. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of reCaptcha will not be merged with other Google data. These data are subject to the different data protection provisions of Google. Further information on Google’s data protection guidelines can be found at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de
