4.8. Inclusion of Youtube videos
We incorporate videos from “YouTube”, the platform provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Information on the use of the data by Google when videos are viewed, is provided in the Google privacy policy:
https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/ and in the Youtube terms of use: https://www.youtube.com/static?gl=DE&template=terms&hl=de.
When a YouTube video is viewed, personal data is generally transferred by means of cookies to YouTube and to the Google tracking service DoubleClick, so as to enable the user behaviour to be analysed. In this case, cookies are already set every time the website is viewed, with the effect that Google is, in principle, able to collate all of the pages you have visited as a user, in order to compile a profile. It cannot, therefore, be ruled out that this data that is stored by the respective network is assigned to an individual person.
It is possible that by viewing YouTube videos, your data could be transferred to servers in third countries, e.g. in the USA. The responsibility for operating in compliance with data protection regulations has to be guaranteed by the respective provider. We point out that Google LLC complies with the requirements of both the so-called EU-US Privacy Shield and also those of the Swiss-US Privacy Shield. These are treaties between the United States and the European Union and the United States and Switzerland, guaranteeing that the level of data protection stipulated in the European Union is also complied with by the relevant undertakings domiciled and certified in the USA. Further explanations are available at: https://www.privacyshield.gov/. You can retrieve the list of certified undertakings from: www.privacyshield.gov/list. We do, however, advise of the following: Even if undertakings in the USA have subjected themselves to the EU-US Privacy Shield (see list of the undertakings at: www.privacyshield.gov/list) or to the EU standard contract clauses, and have thus undertaken to comply with the data protection rules specified in the contract, the transmission of data to countries outside Europe, especially to the USA, nonetheless involves risks under data protection law.
This use of your data by Google is conditional upon your consent. You give this consent in connection with the cookie consent or, in an individual case, by accepting data processing by Google by clicking on the video interface.
By means of our software solution, there is only a transmission of data to Google if you allow only the Youtube cookies or if you allow all social media cookies. Google may not collect any data from you beforehand. This thus ensures that you can use our offer without making your data available to Google.
Your consent is voluntary, as you can already choose in the cookie settings [https://www.animationproductiondays.de/] whether you agree to allowing cookies to be set by Youtube or not. It is up to you to decide not to allow Youtube cookies. Please bear in mind that in this case Youtube content cannot be displayed on our website.
You can withdraw your consent at any time. In order to prevent the transmission of data to Google without activating the video, you can block Youtube cookies at any time in the cookie settings [https://www.animationproductiondays.de/]. The resultant effect is that no data is transferred to Google, but you cannot be shown any videos either. You can still watch the video if you accept the data transmission to Youtube by clicking on the link on the blocked video user interface.
The legal basis for this processing of your data is your consent (Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 (a) GDPR).
4.9. Integration of Vimeo videos
