According to this agreement, we are responsible for providing data protection information when using the Meta tool and for the data protection-compliant implementation of the tool on our website. Meta is responsible for the data security of Meta products. You can assert your rights as a data subject (e.g., requests for information) regarding the data processed by Facebook or Instagram directly with Meta. If you assert your rights as a data subject with us, we are obliged to forward them to Meta.

7. Plugins and tools
YouTube with enhanced data protection
This website embeds videos from the YouTube website. The website is operated by Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
When you visit one of these websites that has YouTube embedded, a connection to the YouTube servers is established. This tells the YouTube server which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to associate your surfing behavior directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.
We use YouTube in extended data protection mode. According to YouTube, videos played in extended data protection mode are not used to personalize browsing on YouTube. Ads played in extended data protection mode are also not personalized. No cookies are set in extended data protection mode. Instead, however, so-called local storage elements are stored in the user's browser, which, similar to cookies, contain personal data and can be used for recognition. Details on extended data protection mode can be found here: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/171780.
After activating a YouTube video, further data processing operations may be triggered over which we have no control.
The use of YouTube is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offerings. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's terminal device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time.
Further information on data protection at YouTube can be found in their privacy policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.
