Personal data is processed with the consent of the users. An exception occurs in cases where the processing of the data is authorised by legal provisions.

As for the processing of personal data which is required for the performance of a service, Article 6 (1), point (b) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) shall serve as the legal basis. This also applies to data processing required for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.
Provided that processing of personal data is required for the fulfilment of a legal obligation, Article 6 (1), point (c) of the GDPR shall serve as the legal basis. In the event that vital interests of the data subject or of any other natural person necessitate the processing of personal data, Article 6 (1), point (d) of the GDPR shall serve as the legal basis.

Furthermore storage can take place if this was planned for by the European or national legislator in the EU legal regulations, laws or other provisions to which the Controller is subject.

Use of social Plugins
Social plugins from various social networks on the Internet (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Instagram) are integrated into our website. These enable you to set bookmarks on the site and to share these bookmarks with other participants in the social network. You can recognise social Plugins by the logos that can be seen on the websites of social networks. These enable you to set bookmarks on the site and to share these bookmarks with other participants in the social network. We offer you a ‘two clicks’ solution to use this facility: when the site loads, buttons are displayed to you but they are deactivated: there is no communication with Facebook, Google+ or Twitter. Only when you decide that you want to share the content do you activate the button by clicking on it with the mouse, then click a second time to initiate the process. See in this connection ‘TWO CLICKS FOR DATA PROTECTION’
If you then access a page on our website that contains these social Plugins and have the relevant button activated, a direct Internet connection is established with the social network and from there the Plugin icon that is visible to you and the functions behind it are transferred directly to your browser, which integrates them into the display of our web page.
If at this time you are logged in to the social network with your username and password, the information that you are visiting our site is sent to it and can be added to your user account. If you interact with the social Plugins, i.e. if you share one of our pages, for example, ‘Like’ or ‘Share’ it on Facebook, or use the ‘Tweet This’ function on Twitter, the content of our pages is linked to your profile on the social network.
We wish to point out that different data protection policies and liability provisions apply to these linked websites of third-party operators. The saving and use of data by the site operator, when these linked sites are used, may exceed the extent of this data protection policy. Further processing on linked social networks, the period for which the information is saved and the purpose for which it is used is determined exclusively by those providers.

Use of YouTube We use the provider YouTube for the integration of videos on our website. Like most websites, YouTube also uses Cookies to gather information about the visitors to their website. Among other things, YouTube uses Cookies to collect video statistics, prevent fraud and improve the user friendliness of their website.
