Data protection provisions about the application and use of YouTube<\/h3><p data-path-to-node=\"3\">The controller has integrated components of YouTube on this website. YouTube is an internet video portal that allows video publishers to set video clips and other users to view, review, and comment on them free of charge. YouTube allows the publication of all kinds of videos.<\/p><p data-path-to-node=\"4\">The operating company of YouTube is <b data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"36\">Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.<\/b><\/p><p data-path-to-node=\"5\">With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this website, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the YouTube component to download a display of the corresponding YouTube component from YouTube.

This information is collected by YouTube and Google and assigned to the respective YouTube account of the data subject.<\/p><div class=\"source-inline-chip-container ng-star-inserted\">\u00a0<\/div><p data-path-to-node=\"7\">If such a transmission of information to YouTube and Google is not desired by the data subject, the delivery can be prevented if the data subject logs off from their YouTube account before a call-up to our website is made.<\/p><h3 data-path-to-node=\"8\">15. Legal basis for the processing<\/h3><p data-path-to-node=\"9\">Art. 6(1) lit. <span class=\"citation-5106 citation-5107 citation-end-5107\">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 s<\/span><span class=\"citation-5106\">ubject is party, as is <\/span><span class=\"citation-5105 citation-5106 citation-end-5106\">the case, for example, when processing operations are necessary for the <\/span><span class=\"citation-5105 citation-end-5105\">supply of goods or to provide any other service, the processing is based on Article 6(1) lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations which are<\/span> necessary <span class=\"citation-5104\">for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries concerning our products or services. If our company <\/span><span class=\"citation-5102 citation-5103 citation-5104 citation-end-5104\">is subject to a legal obligation by which processing of personal data is required, such as for th<\/span><span class=\"citation-5102 citation-5103 citation-end-5103\">e fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6(1) lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal da<\/span><span class=\"citation-5102 citation-end-5102\">ta may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural pe<\/span>rson. Finally, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR. Processing operations which are not covered by any of the abovementioned legal grounds are based on this legal basis if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject.<\/p><div class=\"source-inline-chip-container ng-star-inserted\">\u00a0<\/div><h3 data-path-to-node=\"10\">16. The legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party<\/h3><p data-path-to-node=\"11\">Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR, our legitimate interest is to carry out our business in favor of the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders.<\/p><h3 data-path-to-node=\"12\">17. Period for which the personal data will be stored<\/h3><p data-path-to-node=\"13\"><span class=\"citation-5101 citation-end-5101\">The criterion used to determine the period of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiration of that period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, as long as it is no longer necessary for the fulfillment of the contract or the initiation of a contra<\/span>ct.<\/p><div class=\"source-inline-chip-container ng-star-inserted\">\u00a0<\/div><h3 data-path-to-node=\"14\">18. Statutory or contractual provisions for providing personal data; Necessity for the contract conclusion; <span class=\"citation-5100 citation-end-5100\">Obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of failure to provide such data<\/span><\/h3><p data-path-to-node=\"15\"><span class=\"citation-5099\">We clarify <\/span><span class=\"citation-5098 citation-5099 citation-end-5099\">that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g., tax regulations) or can also result from contra<\/span><span class=\"citation-5098\">ctual provisions (e.g., information <\/span><span class=\"citation-5097 citation-5098 citation-end-5098\">on the contractual partner). Sometimes it may be necessary to conclude a contract that the data subject provid<\/span><span class=\"citation-5097 citation-end-5097\">es us with personal data, which must subsequently be processed by us. The data subject is, for example, obliged to provide us with personal data when<\/span> our company <span class=\"citation-5096\">signs a contract with him or her. The non-provision of the personal data would have the consequence that the contract with the <\/span><span class=\"citation-5095 citation-5096 citation-end-5096\">data subject could not be concluded. Before personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject must conta<\/span><span class=\"citation-5095\">ct one of our employees. Our employee <\/span><span class=\"citation-5094 citation-5095 citation-end-5095\">clarifies to the data subject whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is n<\/span><span class=\"citation-5094\">ecessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether <\/span><span class=\"citation-5092 citation-5093 citation-5094 citation-end-5094\">there is an obligation to provide the personal data and the consequences of non-provision of the person<\/span><span class=\"citation-5092 citation-5093 citation-end-5093\">al data.<\/span><\/p><div class=\"source-inline-chip-container ng-star-inserted\">\u00a0<\/div><h3 data-path-to-node=\"16\"><span class=\"citation-5090 citation-5091 citation-end-5091\">19.
