We are very pleased with your interest in our company. Data protection is of particular importance to the management of VK Projekte Media GmbH. The use of the VK Projekte Media GmbH website is generally possible without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to use special services of our company via our website, the processing of personal data may be necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain consent from the data subject.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, email address, or telephone number of a data subject, is always done in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in compliance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to VK Projekte Media GmbH. Through this privacy policy, our company aims to inform the public about the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed about their rights through this privacy policy.

VK Projekte Media GmbH, as the data controller, has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. However, internet-based data transmissions may have security vulnerabilities, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, it is up to each data subject to transmit personal data to us through alternative means, such as by phone.

Definitions:
The privacy policy of VK Projekte Media GmbH is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy aims to be easily readable and understandable for the public, as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance.

We use the following terms in this privacy policy, among others:

a) Personal data
Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person ("data subject"). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person.

b) Data subject
Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the data controller.

c) Processing
Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

d) Restriction of processing
Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their processing in the future.

e) Profiling
Profiling is any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location or movements.

f) Pseudonymization
Pseudonymization is the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

g) Controller or data controller
Controller or data controller is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data; where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.

h) Processor
Processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

i) Recipient
Recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or another body, to which the personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients; the processing of those data by those public authorities shall be in compliance with the applicable data protection rules according to the purposes of the processing.

j) Third party
Third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or body other than the data subject, controller, processor, and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorized to process personal data.

k) Consent
Consent of the data subject is any freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her. 

Name and address of the controller:
The controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation, other data protection laws applicable in Member states of the European Union, and other provisions related to data protection is:

Cookies
The websites of VK Projekte Media GmbH use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system via an internet browser.
Many websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string of characters through which websites and servers can be assigned to the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the visited websites and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific internet browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID.

By using cookies, VK Projekte Media GmbH can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.

By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized with the user in mind. As mentioned above, cookies allow us to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, a user of a website that uses cookies does not have to enter their access data again each time they visit the website because this is taken over by the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online shop. The online shop remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies already set can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.

Collection of general data and information
The website of VK Projekte Media GmbH collects a series of general data and information with each visit to the website by a data subject or an automated system. This general data and information are stored in the server's log files. The following data can be collected: (1) browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-websites accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) other similar data and information used to avert dangers in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
When using this general data and information, VK Projekte Media GmbH does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Instead, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website and its advertisement, (3) ensure the continued functioning of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyberattack. These anonymously collected data and information are therefore evaluated statistically by VK Projekte Media GmbH on the one hand and, on the other hand, with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

Subscription to our newsletter
On the website of VK Projekte Media GmbH, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our company's newsletter. The personal data that is transmitted to the controller when ordering the newsletter is determined by the input mask used for this purpose.
VK Projekte Media GmbH informs its customers and business partners at regular intervals by means of a newsletter about company offers. The newsletter of our company can only be received by the data subject if (1) the data subject has a valid email address and (2) the data subject registers for newsletter delivery. A confirmation email will be sent to the email address first entered by the data subject for newsletter delivery for legal reasons in a double opt-in procedure. This confirmation email is used to verify whether the owner of the email address as the data subject has authorized receipt of the newsletter.

When registering for the newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) to the data subject's computer system at the time of registration, as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to trace the (possible) misuse of the email address of a data subject at a later date and therefore serves the legal protection of the data controller.

The personal data collected as part of a newsletter subscription will only be used to send our newsletter. Subscribers to the newsletter may also be informed by email if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a related registration, as might be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter offering or changes to technical conditions. The personal data collected as part of the newsletter service will not be passed on to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter can be canceled by the data subject at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data that the data subject has given us for newsletter delivery can be revoked at any time. A corresponding link can be found in each newsletter for the purpose of revoking consent. Furthermore, there is the possibility to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on the website of the data controller or to inform the data controller of this in another way.

Newsletter tracking
The newsletters of VK Projekte Media GmbH contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in emails sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and log file analysis. This allows a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns to be carried out. Using the embedded tracking pixel, VK Projekte Media GmbH can recognize whether and when an email from a data subject was opened and which links contained in the email were clicked on by the data subject.
Personal data collected via tracking pixels contained in newsletters will be stored and analyzed by the data controller in order to optimize newsletter delivery and better tailor the content of future newsletters to the interests of the data subject. This personal data will not be passed on to third parties. Data subjects are entitled to revoke the separate consent given via the double opt-in procedure at any time. After revocation, this personal data will be deleted by the data controller. VK Projekte Media GmbH automatically interprets unsubscribing from the newsletter as revoking consent.

Contact possibility via the website
The website of VK Projekte Media GmbH contains information that enables quick electronic contact with our company as well as direct communication with us, including a general email address for electronic mail (email address). If a data subject contacts the data controller by email or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject will be automatically stored. Such personal data voluntarily provided by a data subject to the data controller will be stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. This personal data will not be passed on to third parties.

Comment function in the blog on the website
The VK Projekte Media GmbH offers users the opportunity to leave individual comments on specific blog posts on a blog located on the website of the data controller. A blog is a typically publicly accessible portal hosted on a website where one or more individuals, known as bloggers or web-bloggers, can post articles or thoughts in what are commonly referred to as blog posts. These blog posts can typically be commented on by third parties.

When a data subject leaves a comment on the blog published on this website, information about the time of comment submission and the chosen username (pseudonym) of the data subject is stored and published alongside the comment. Furthermore, the IP address assigned by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) of the data subject is logged. This storage of the IP address is carried out for security reasons and in the event that the data subject violates the rights of third parties or posts unlawful content through a submitted comment. The storage of this personal data is therefore in the legitimate interest of the data controller, enabling them to potentially exculpate themselves in the event of a legal violation. This collected personal data is not disclosed to third parties unless such disclosure is legally required or serves the legal defense of the data controller.

Subscription to Comments on the Blog on the Website
Comments made on the blog of VK Projekte Media GmbH can generally be subscribed to by third parties. In particular, it is possible for a commentator to subscribe to subsequent comments following their own comment on a specific blog post.

If a data subject chooses the option to subscribe to comments, the data controller will send an automatic confirmation email to verify, in a double opt-in process, whether the owner of the provided email address has indeed chosen this option. The option to subscribe to comments can be terminated at any time.

Routine Erasure and Blocking of Personal Data
The data controller processes and stores personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or as required by the European legislator or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the data controller is subject.

If the purpose of storage ceases to apply or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with legal requirements.

Rights of the Data Subject
a) Right to Confirmation
Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain confirmation from the data controller as to whether personal data concerning them are being processed. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to confirmation, they may contact an employee of the data controller at any time.
b) Right to Information
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the data controller free information about the personal data stored about them and a copy of this information at any time. Furthermore, the European legislator has granted the data subject the right to information about the following:

the purposes of processing
the categories of personal data processed
the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries or international organizations
if possible, the envisaged duration for which the personal data will be stored, or, if not possible, the criteria used to determine that duration

if the personal data are not collected from the data subject: all available information about the origin of the data
the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, pursuant to Article 22(1) and (4) of the GDPR and, at least in those cases, meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject
Furthermore, the data subject has the right to be informed whether personal data have been transferred to a third country or to an international organization. If this is the case, the data subject also has the right to be informed about the appropriate safeguards relating to the transfer.

If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to information, they can contact an employee of the data controller at any time.

c) Right to Rectification
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to request the immediate correction of inaccurate personal data concerning them. Furthermore, the data subject has the right, taking into account the purposes of processing, to request the completion of incomplete personal data, including by means of a supplementary statement.

If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, they can contact an employee of the data controller at any time.

d) Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten)
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to request the data controller to promptly erase personal data concerning them if one of the following reasons applies and the processing is not necessary:

The personal data have been collected or otherwise processed for purposes for which they are no longer necessary.
The data subject withdraws consent on which the processing is based according to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR.
The personal data have been unlawfully processed.
The erasure of personal data is necessary to comply with a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.
The personal data have been collected in relation to the offer of information society services referred to in Art. 8(1) GDPR.

If one of the above reasons applies and a data subject wishes to request the erasure of personal data stored by VK Projekte Media GmbH, they can contact an employee of the data controller at any time. The employee of VK Projekte Media GmbH will arrange for the erasure request to be complied with promptly.

If personal data have been disclosed by VK Projekte Media GmbH and our company is obliged as the controller pursuant to Art. 17(1) GDPR to erase the personal data, VK Projekte Media GmbH will, taking into account available technology and implementation costs, take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform other controllers processing the published personal data that the data subject has requested the erasure of all links to, or copies or replications of, such personal data, unless processing is required. The employee of VK Projekte Media GmbH will take the necessary steps in individual cases.

e) Right to Restriction of Processing
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to request the data controller to restrict processing if one of the following conditions applies:

The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
The processing is unlawful, and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests instead the restriction of their use.

The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but the data subject requires them for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims. The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, and it has not yet been determined whether the legitimate grounds of the controller outweigh those of the data subject.

If any of the above conditions are met and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of personal data stored by VK Projekte Media GmbH, they can contact an employee of the data controller at any time. The employee of VK Projekte Media GmbH will arrange for the restriction of processing.

f) Right to Data Portability
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to receive the personal data concerning them, which they have provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. They also have the right to transmit these data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided, provided that the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, and the processing is carried out by automated means, unless processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

Furthermore, in exercising their right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20(1) GDPR, the data subject has the right to have personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and where this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

To exercise the right to data portability, the data subject can contact an employee of VK Projekte Media GmbH at any time.

g) Right to Object
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to object, on grounds relating to their particular situation, at any time, to processing of personal data concerning them which is based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, including profiling based on those provisions.

VK Projekte Media GmbH will no longer process the personal data in the event of the objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject, or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

If VK Projekte Media GmbH processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning them for such marketing, which includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to VK Projekte Media GmbH processing for direct marketing purposes, VK Projekte Media GmbH will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.

In addition, the data subject has the right, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to object to processing of personal data concerning them by VK Projekte Media GmbH for scientific or historical research purposes, or for statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89(1) GDPR, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest.

To exercise the right to object, the data subject can directly contact any employee of VK Projekte Media GmbH or another employee. Furthermore, the data subject is free to exercise their right to object in connection with the use of services of the information society, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, by automated means using technical specifications.

h) Automated individual decision-making, including profiling
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning them or similarly significantly affects them, unless the decision (1) is necessary for entering into or performing a contract between the data subject and the controller, (2) is authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or (3) is based on the data subject's explicit consent.

If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into or performing a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) it is based on the data subject's explicit consent, VK Projekte Media GmbH shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express their point of view, and to contest the decision.

If the data subject wishes to exercise rights concerning automated decision-making, they can contact an employee of the data controller at any time.

i) Right to withdraw consent under data protection law
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to withdraw consent to the processing of personal data at any time.

If the data subject wishes to exercise their right to withdraw consent, they can contact an employee of the data controller at any time.

Data protection for applications and in the application process
The data controller collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of processing the application procedure. Processing may also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits corresponding application documents to the controller electronically, for example by email or via a web form on the website. If the data controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the data transmitted will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with legal requirements. If no employment contract is concluded with the applicant by the data controller, the application documents will be automatically erased two months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that erasure does not conflict with any other legitimate interests of the data controller. Other legitimate interests in this sense include, for example, the obligation to provide evidence in a proceeding under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

Data protection provisions for the use and application of Facebook
The data controller has integrated components of the Facebook company into this website. Facebook is a social network.

Facebook receives information through the Facebook component whenever the data subject visits our website, provided that the data subject is logged into Facebook at the time of accessing our website, regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Facebook component or not. If the data subject does not want such transmission of information to Facebook, they can prevent this by logging out of their Facebook account before accessing our website.

The data policy published by Facebook, available at https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides information about the collection, processing, and use of personal data by Facebook. It also explains the privacy settings Facebook offers to protect the data subject's privacy. Additionally, various applications are available to suppress data transmission to Facebook. Such applications can be used by the data subject to prevent data transmission to Facebook.

Data protection provisions for the use and application of Google Analytics (with anonymization function)
The data controller has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymization function) into this website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analytics involves the collection, gathering, and evaluation of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analytics service collects data about, among other things, which website a data subject came from (the so-called referrer), which subpages of the website were accessed, and how often and for what duration a subpage was viewed. Web analytics is primarily used to optimize a website and for cost-benefit analysis of internet advertising.

The operator of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

The data controller uses the "ga('set', 'anonymizeIp', true);" addition for web analytics via Google Analytics. This addition ensures that the IP address of the data subject's internet connection is truncated and anonymized by Google when accessing our websites from a member state of the European Union or another contracting state to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze visitor traffic on our website. Google uses the data and information obtained, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports showing activities on our website, and to provide other services related to the use of our website.

Google Analytics sets a cookie on the data subject's information technology system. The use of cookies has already been explained above. By setting the cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the use of our website. Each time one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the data controller and on which a Google Analytics component is integrated, is accessed, the internet browser on the data subject's information technology system is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data for online analysis to Google. As part of this technical process, Google gains knowledge of personal data, such as the data subject's IP address, which Google uses, among other things, to trace the origin of visitors and clicks and to enable commission settlements in the future.

The cookie stores personal information, such as the access time, the location from which access originated, and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject. Each time our website is visited, this personal data, including the IP address of the data subject's internet connection used, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. Google stores this personal data in the United States of America. Google may transfer this personal data collected through the technical process to third parties.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as explained above, at any time by adjusting the settings of the internet browser used and thereby permanently objecting to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the internet browser would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the data subject's information technology system. In addition, cookies already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, the data subject has the option to object to the collection of data related to the use of this website generated by Google Analytics and the processing of this data by Google. To do this, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on via the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information about visits to websites may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered as an objection by Google. If the data subject's information technology system is deleted, formatted, or reinstalled at a later date, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the data subject or another person attributable to their sphere of influence, the browser add-on can be reinstalled or reactivated.

Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/en/policies/privacy/ and http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/en.html. Google Analytics is explained in more detail at this link https://www.google.com/intl/en_en/analytics/.

Data protection provisions for the use and application of Instagram
The data controller has integrated components of the Instagram service into this website. Instagram is a service that qualifies as an audiovisual platform and allows users to share photos and videos, as well as redistribute such data in other social networks.

The operating company of Instagram's services is Instagram LLC, 1 Hacker Way, Building 14 First Floor, Menlo Park, CA, USA.

Each time one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the data controller and on which an Instagram component (Insta-button) has been integrated, is accessed, the internet browser on the data subject's information technology system is automatically prompted by the respective Instagram component to download a representation of the corresponding component from Instagram. As part of this technical process, Instagram gains knowledge of which specific subpage of our website the data subject is visiting.

If the data subject is logged into Instagram at the same time, Instagram recognizes with each visit to our website by the data subject and during the entire duration of the respective stay on our website which specific subpage the data subject is visiting. This information is collected by the Instagram component and assigned by Instagram to the respective Instagram account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the Instagram buttons integrated on our website, the data and information transmitted with it are assigned to the personal Instagram user account of the data subject and stored and processed by Instagram.

Instagram receives information through the Instagram component whenever the data subject visits our website, provided that the data subject is logged into Instagram at the time of accessing our website, regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Instagram component or not. If the data subject does not want such transmission of information to Instagram, they can prevent this by logging out of their Instagram account before accessing our website.

Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Instagram can be found at https://help.instagram.com/155833707900388 and https://www.instagram.com/about/legal/privacy/.

Data protection provisions for the use and application of YouTube
The data controller has integrated components of YouTube into this website. YouTube is an internet video portal that allows video publishers to upload video clips for free and enables users to view, rate, and comment on them for free. YouTube allows the publication of all types of videos, which is why both complete films and television programs, but also music videos, trailers, or videos made by users themselves can be accessed via the internet portal.

The operating company of YouTube is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. YouTube, LLC is a subsidiary of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

Each time one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the data controller and on which a YouTube component (YouTube video) has been integrated, is accessed, the internet browser on the data subject's information technology system is automatically prompted by the respective YouTube component to download a representation of the corresponding YouTube component from YouTube. Further information about YouTube can be found at https://www.youtube.com/yt/about/en/. As part of this technical process, YouTube and Google gain knowledge of which specific subpage of our website the data subject is visiting.

If the data subject is logged into YouTube at the same time, YouTube recognizes with the visit to a subpage that contains a YouTube video which specific subpage of our website the data subject is visiting. This information is collected by YouTube and Google and assigned to the respective YouTube account of the data subject.

YouTube and Google receive information through the YouTube component whenever the data subject visits our website, provided that the data subject is logged into YouTube at the time of accessing our website, regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the YouTube video or not. If the data subject does not want such transmission of information to YouTube and Google, they can prevent this by logging out of their YouTube account before accessing our website.

The privacy policy published by YouTube, available at https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/, provides information on the collection, processing, and use of personal data by YouTube and Google.

Legal basis for processing
Article 6(1)(a) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, such as processing operations necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of other services or consideration, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, such as in the case of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation by which processing of personal data is required, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(c) GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and his name, age, health insurance data, or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital, or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Article 6(1)(d) GDPR. Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Processing operations not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms of the data subject do not prevail. Such processing operations are particularly permissible because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. He considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).

Legitimate interests pursued by the controller or a third party
If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, our legitimate interest is to carry out our business activities for the well-being of all our employees and shareholders.

Duration for which the personal data are stored
The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After the expiration of the period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, as long as it is no longer required for the fulfillment of the contract or the initiation of a contract.

Legal or contractual provisions for the provision of personal data; necessity for the conclusion of the contract; obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of non-provision
We clarify that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g., tax regulations) or can also result from contractual provisions (e.g., information on the contractual partner). Sometimes it may be necessary to conclude a contract that the data subject provides us with personal data that must subsequently be processed by us. The data subject is, for example, obliged to provide us with personal data when our company enters into a contract with him or her. The non-provision of the personal data would have the consequence that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee clarifies to the data subject whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and the consequences of not providing the personal data.

Existence of automated decision-making
As a responsible company, we refrain from automatic decision-making or profiling.
