7. Embedded YouTube Videos
We embed YouTube videos on some of our web pages. The operator of the corresponding plugins is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. When you visit a page with the YouTube plugin, a connection is established to YouTube’s servers. In doing so, YouTube is informed of which pages you visit. If you are logged into your YouTube account, YouTube can associate your browsing behavior with you personally. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account beforehand. When a YouTube video is played, the provider uses cookies to collect information about user behavior. If you have disabled the storage of cookies for the Google Ads program, you will not have to worry about such cookies even when watching YouTube videos. However, YouTube also stores non-personal
usage information in other cookies. If you wish to prevent this, you must block the storage of cookies in your browser. For more information on data protection at “YouTube,” please refer to the provider’s privacy policy at: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/
8. Google reCAPTCHA
To ensure adequate data security when submitting forms, we use the reCAPTCHA service provided by Google Inc. in certain cases. This is primarily used to distinguish whether the input is being made by a human or, in an abusive manner, through machine-based and automated processing. The service involves sending the IP address and, if necessary, other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service to Google. The separate privacy policy of Google Inc. applies here. For more information on Google Inc.’s privacy policy, please visit http://www.google.de/intl/de/privacy or https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/
