Videos from the external video platform YouTube are embedded on our website. The videos are hosted by YouTube in order to provide you with information about our responsibilities, activities and services in an audiovisual and accessible format.
When you play a video, a connection may be established to YouTube’s servers. In doing so, personal data – in particular your IP address, as well as information about the page you have accessed and technical information relating to your browser and device – may be transmitted to YouTube. YouTube may process this data and, where applicable, associate it with your user account if you are logged in to YouTube or another Google service. The scope and timing of the data transmission depend on how the videos are technically embedded and the relevant settings.
Please note that YouTube’s or Google’s own privacy policies apply to the processing of personal data by those organisations.
Further information on the processing of personal data by Google and YouTube, as well as your privacy options, can be found in Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en
