We have no influence on that data transmission.

(2) Through your visit to the website and after you have granted your consent, YouTube is notified that you have accessed the relevant subpage of our website.

If you are logged into Google, your data will be directly assigned to your account. If you do not wish the assignment to your profile with YouTube, you must log out before activating the button.

§ 8 Weighing of interests

If, contrary to the information provided by the providers, the above-mentioned tracking software does not fulfil the European data protection standards with regard to lawful processing under Article 6 GDPR, as an alternative the following weighing of interests occurs:

The processing of the data is lawful if it is necessary for the protection of legitimate interests of the controller or a third party, unless the interests or basic rights or freedoms of the data subject that require the protection of personal data are overriding. The legitimate interests include both legal, actual, economic or ideological interests.
The purpose of the data processing is to make it possible to find the website and analysis of user behaviour.
The tracking software used is suitable for the achievement of that purpose.
The processing qualifies as necessary because it is required to achieve that purpose.
It is appropriate because it is reasonable for the user and an adequate level of data protection is not jeopardised.
