TSA Educational AcademyPRIVACY POLICY
Privacy Policy
We greatly appreciate your interest in our company. Data protection is of particularly high importance for the management of TSA Educational Academy GmbH. The use of TSA Educational Academy GmbH’s website is generally possible without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to use special services of our company via our website, the processing of personal data could become necessary. If the processing of personal data is required and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.
The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, email address, or telephone number of a data subject, is always carried out in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to TSA Educational Academy GmbH. Through this privacy policy, we aim to inform the public about the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed about their rights under this privacy policy.
TSA Educational Academy GmbH has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures as the data controller to ensure the most complete protection possible of the personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us via alternative means, such as by telephone.
1. Definitions
The privacy policy of TSA Educational Academy GmbH is based on the terms used by the European legislator when issuing the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy should be easy to read and understand for both the public and our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance.
In this privacy policy, we use, among others, the following terms:
a) Personal Data
Personal data refers to any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as the "data subject"). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person.
b) Data Subject
A data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the data controller.
c) Processing
Processing is any operation or set of operations performed on personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure, or destruction.
d) Restriction of Processing
Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting its future processing.
e) Profiling
Profiling refers to any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular, to analyze or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s work performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location, or movements.
f) Pseudonymization
Pseudonymization refers to the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data is not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
g) Controller or Data Controller
The controller or data controller is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body that alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of processing personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.
h) Processor
A processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
i) Recipient
A recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or another body to whom personal data is disclosed, whether or not a third party. However, authorities that may receive personal data under Union or Member State law in the context of a specific investigative task are not considered recipients.
j) Third Party
A third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor, and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorized to process personal data.
k) Consent
Consent refers to any freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes, by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.
2. Name and Address of the Data Controller
The controller, as defined in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), other applicable data protection laws in the member states of the European Union, and other regulations related to data protection, is:
TSA Educational Academy GmbH

Germany
Phone: (030) 466 09 966
Email: info@tsa-bildung.de
Website: www.tsa-bildung.de
3. Cookies
The websites of TSA Educational Academy GmbH use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system via an internet browser.
Many websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain what is known as a cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string of characters that allows websites and servers to be assigned to the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables visited websites and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other internet browsers that contain different cookies. A specific internet browser can thus be recognized and identified using the unique cookie ID.
By using cookies, TSA Educational Academy GmbH can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without cookie placement.
With the help of cookies, the information and offers on our website can be optimized for the user. As already mentioned, cookies enable us to recognize users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, a user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter their login data every time they visit the website, as this is taken over by the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system. Another example is the shopping cart cookie in an online store. The online store remembers the items a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.
The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by adjusting the settings of the internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, already set cookies can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.
4. Collection of General Data and Information
The website of TSA Educational Academy GmbH collects a series of general data and information each time the website is accessed by a data subject or an automated system. This general data and information are stored in the server’s log files. The data collected may include (1) the types and versions of browsers used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system arrives at our website (so-called referrers), (4) the subpages that are accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of an access to the website, (6) an Internet Protocol (IP) address, (7) the Internet Service Provider (ISP) of the accessing system, and (8) other similar data and information used for security purposes in case of attacks on our IT systems.
When using this general data and information, TSA Educational Academy GmbH does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the contents of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website as well as its advertising, (3) ensure the long-term functionality of our IT systems and the technology of our website, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the necessary information for prosecution in the event of a cyber attack. Therefore, TSA Educational Academy GmbH analyzes this anonymously collected data and information statistically and with the goal of increasing data protection and data security in our company to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data in the server log files is stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.
5. Contact Option via the Website
The website of TSA Educational Academy GmbH contains information, as required by law, that allows for quick electronic contact with our company as well as direct communication with us, including a general email address (electronic mail). If a data subject contacts the controller via email or a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject is automatically stored. Such personal data, voluntarily provided by a data subject to the controller, is stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. This personal data is not disclosed to third parties.
6. Routine Deletion and Blocking of Personal Data
The controller processes and stores the personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the storage purpose or as required by the European Directives and Regulations or any other legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.
If the storage purpose ceases to apply or if a storage period prescribed by the European Directives and Regulations or any other competent legislator expires, the personal data is routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with legal requirements.
7. Rights of the Data Subject
a) Right to Confirmation
Every data subject has the right granted by the European Directives and Regulations to obtain confirmation from the controller as to whether personal data concerning them is being processed. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to confirmation, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.
b) Right to Information
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European Directives and Regulations, to obtain free information about the personal data stored about them at any time and to receive a copy of this information.

Furthermore, the data subject has the right to be informed whether personal data has been transferred to a third country or an international organization. If this is the case, the data subject also has the right to be informed about the appropriate safeguards relating to the transfer.
If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to information, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.
c) Right to Rectification
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European Directives and Regulations, to request the immediate correction of inaccurate personal data concerning them. Furthermore, the data subject has the right to request the completion of incomplete personal data, taking into account the purposes of processing, including by means of a supplementary statement.
If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.
-
d) Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten)
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European Directives and Regulations, to request from the controller the immediate deletion of personal data concerning them, provided that one of the following reasons applies and processing is not required:
- The personal data was collected or otherwise processed for purposes that are no longer necessary.
- The data subject withdraws their consent on which the processing was based according to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
- The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR, and there are no overriding legitimate reasons for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) GDPR.
- The personal data was processed unlawfully.
- The deletion of personal data is required to comply with a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member States to which the controller is subject.
- The personal data was collected in relation to information society services offered pursuant to Article 8(1) GDPR.
If one of the above reasons applies and a data subject wishes to request the deletion of personal data stored by TSA Educational Academy GmbH, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time. The employee of TSA Educational Academy GmbH will ensure that the deletion request is complied with immediately.
If the personal data has been made public by TSA Educational Academy GmbH and our company, as the controller, is obliged to delete the personal data pursuant to Article 17(1) GDPR, TSA Educational Academy GmbH, taking into account available technology and implementation costs, will take appropriate measures, including technical measures, to inform other controllers processing the published personal data that the data subject has requested the deletion of all links to this personal data or copies or replications of this personal data, provided that processing is not required. The employee of TSA Educational Academy GmbH will take the necessary steps in individual cases.
e) Right to Restriction of Processing
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European Directives and Regulations, to request the restriction of processing from the controller if one of the following conditions is met:
- The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period that allows the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
- The processing is unlawful, the data subject refuses the deletion of personal data, and instead requests the restriction of the use of personal data.
- The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but the data subject requires it for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
- The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR, and it has not yet been determined whether the legitimate interests of the controller override those of the data subject.
If one of the above conditions applies and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of personal data stored by TSA Educational Academy GmbH, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time. The employee of TSA Educational Academy GmbH will initiate the restriction of processing.
f) Right to Data Portability
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European Directives and Regulations, to receive the personal data concerning them, which they have provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. They also have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data was provided, provided that the processing is based on consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR, or on a contract pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, and the processing is carried out by automated means, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
Furthermore, in exercising their right to data portability pursuant to Article 20(1) GDPR, the data subject has the right to request that the personal data be transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and provided that this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.
To assert the right to data portability, the data subject may contact an employee of TSA Educational Academy GmbH at any time.
g) Right to Object
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European Directives and Regulations, to object at any time, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning them, which is carried out pursuant to Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
In the event of an objection, TSA Educational Academy GmbH will no longer process the personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
If TSA Educational Academy GmbH processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning them for such marketing. This also applies to profiling, insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to TSA Educational Academy GmbH processing for direct marketing purposes, TSA Educational Academy GmbH will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.
Additionally, the data subject has the right to object, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning them for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) GDPR, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest.
To exercise the right to object, the data subject may directly contact any employee of TSA Educational Academy GmbH or another designated employee. The data subject is also free to exercise their right to object in connection with the use of information society services, regardless of Directive 2002/58/EC, by means of automated procedures using technical specifications.
h) Automated Individual Decision-Making, Including Profiling
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European Directives and Regulations, not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing—including profiling—that produces legal effects concerning them or similarly significantly affects them, unless the decision (1) is necessary for entering into or performing a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and that law provides suitable measures to safeguard the rights, freedoms, and legitimate interests of the data subject, or (3) is based on the data subject’s explicit consent.
If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into or performing a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is based on the data subject’s explicit consent, TSA Educational Academy GmbH implements suitable measures to safeguard the rights, freedoms, and legitimate interests of the data subject. These measures include at least the right to obtain human intervention from the controller, the right to express their point of view, and the right to contest the decision.
If the data subject wishes to assert rights related to automated decision-making, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.
i) Right to Withdraw Data Protection Consent
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European Directives and Regulations, to withdraw consent for the processing of personal data at any time.
If the data subject wishes to exercise their right to withdraw consent, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.
8. Data Protection Provisions Regarding the Use of Facebook
The controller has integrated components of the company Facebook on this website. Facebook is a social network.
A social network is an internet-based social meeting place, an online community that generally allows users to communicate with each other and interact in a virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for sharing opinions and experiences or enable the internet community to provide personal or business-related information. Facebook allows users of the social network to create private profiles, upload photos, and connect through friend requests.
The operating company of Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. The controller for processing personal data, if a data subject lives outside the USA or Canada, is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.
Each time an individual page of this website, operated by the controller, is accessed and on which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) has been integrated, the internet browser on the data subject's IT system is automatically prompted by the respective Facebook component to download a display of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook. A complete overview of all Facebook plug-ins can be accessed at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=en_US. As part of this technical process, Facebook gains knowledge of which specific subpage of our website the data subject has visited.
If the data subject is simultaneously logged into Facebook, Facebook detects with each visit to our website and throughout the duration of the respective stay on our website which specific subpage the data subject is visiting. This information is collected by the Facebook component and assigned by Facebook to the respective Facebook account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the Facebook buttons integrated into our website, such as the "Like" button, or submits a comment, Facebook associates this information with the data subject's personal Facebook user account and stores this personal data.
Facebook receives information via the Facebook component whenever the data subject visits our website, provided the data subject is logged into Facebook at the time of accessing our website. This occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Facebook component or not. If the data subject does not wish this information to be transmitted to Facebook, they can prevent the transmission by logging out of their Facebook account before accessing our website.
The data policy published by Facebook, available at https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides information on the collection, processing, and use of personal data by Facebook. Furthermore, it explains the privacy settings Facebook offers to protect the data subject's privacy. Additionally, various applications are available that allow the suppression of data transmission to Facebook. Such applications can be used by the data subject to prevent data transmission to Facebook.
9. Data Protection Provisions Regarding the Use of Google Analytics (with Anonymization Function)
The controller has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymization function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analytics is the collection, compilation, and evaluation of data on the behavior of website visitors. A web analytics service collects data, among other things, on which website a data subject came from (the so-called referrer), which subpages of the website were accessed, how often, and for what duration a subpage was viewed. Web analytics is primarily used for website optimization and for cost-benefit analysis of internet advertising.
The operating company of the Google Analytics component is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.
The controller uses the "_gat._anonymizeIp" extension for web analytics via Google Analytics. This extension ensures that the IP address of the data subject's internet connection is shortened and anonymized by Google when accessing our website from a member state of the European Union or from another contracting state of the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze visitor traffic on our website. Google uses the collected data and information, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website, compile online reports that display activities on our website, and provide further services related to website usage.
Google Analytics places a cookie on the data subject's IT system. The concept of cookies has already been explained above. By placing the cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the use of our website. Each time an individual page of this website, operated by the controller and incorporating a Google Analytics component, is accessed, the internet browser on the data subject's IT system is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for online analysis. As part of this technical process, Google gains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which Google uses, among other things, to track the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently enable commission settlements.
Through the cookie, personal information such as access time, the location from which access originated, and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject is stored. With each visit to our website, these personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, are transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are stored by Google in the United States of America. Under certain circumstances, Google may pass these personal data collected through this technical process on to third parties.
The data subject can prevent the placement of cookies by our website at any time, as described above, by adjusting the settings of their internet browser and thereby permanently objecting to the setting of cookies. Such an adjustment to the internet browser would also prevent Google from placing a cookie on the data subject's IT system. Additionally, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.
Furthermore, the data subject has the option to object to and prevent the collection of data generated by Google Analytics related to the use of this website, as well as the processing of this data by Google. To do this, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information about website visits may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered an objection by Google. If the data subject's IT system is later deleted, formatted, or reinstalled, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the data subject or another person within their control, it is possible to reinstall or reactivate the browser add-on.
Further information and Google's applicable data protection regulations can be accessed at https://www.google.de/intl/en/policies/privacy/ and at http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/en.html. Google Analytics is further explained under this link: https://www.google.com/intl/en/analytics/.
10. Data Protection Provisions Regarding the Use of Google AdWords
The controller has integrated Google AdWords into this website. Google AdWords is an online advertising service that allows advertisers to place ads in Google's search engine results as well as within the Google advertising network. Google AdWords enables an advertiser to predefine specific keywords, which will trigger an ad in Google's search engine results only when a user retrieves a keyword-relevant search result. In the Google advertising network, ads are distributed on topic-relevant websites using an automated algorithm and based on the predefined keywords.
The operating company providing Google AdWords services is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.
The purpose of Google AdWords is to promote our website by displaying interest-based advertising on third-party websites and in Google's search engine results, as well as displaying third-party advertisements on our website.
If a data subject arrives at our website via a Google advertisement, a so-called conversion cookie is placed on their IT system by Google. The concept of cookies has already been explained above. A conversion cookie expires after thirty days and is not used to identify the data subject. If the cookie has not yet expired, it helps track whether certain subpages, such as the shopping cart of an online store, were accessed on our website. Both we and Google can use the conversion cookie to determine whether a data subject who arrived at our website via an AdWords advertisement generated a sale, meaning they completed or abandoned a purchase.
The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie are used by Google to generate visit statistics for our website. These visit statistics are then used by us to determine the total number of users referred to us via AdWords advertisements, to assess the success or failure of each AdWords advertisement, and to optimize our future AdWords campaigns. Neither our company nor other Google AdWords advertisers receive information from Google that could be used to identify the data subject.
Through the conversion cookie, personal information, such as the websites visited by the data subject, is stored. With each visit to our website, personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are stored by Google in the United States. Google may pass these personal data collected through this technical process on to third parties.
The data subject can prevent the placement of cookies by our website at any time, as described above, by adjusting the settings of their internet browser and thereby permanently objecting to the setting of cookies. Such an adjustment to the internet browser would also prevent Google from placing a conversion cookie on the data subject's IT system. Additionally, a cookie already set by Google AdWords can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.
Furthermore, the data subject has the option to object to interest-based advertising by Google. To do this, the data subject must access the link www.google.de/settings/ads from each of their internet browsers and configure the desired settings.
Further information and Google's applicable data protection regulations can be accessed at https://www.google.de/intl/en/policies/privacy/.
11. Data Protection Provisions Regarding the Use of Instagram
The controller has integrated components of the Instagram service into this website. Instagram is a service that qualifies as an audiovisual platform, allowing users to share photos and videos and enabling the further distribution of such data across other social networks.
The operating company of Instagram’s services is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.
Each time an individual page of this website, operated by the controller and incorporating an Instagram component (Insta-Button), is accessed, the internet browser on the data subject's IT system is automatically prompted by the respective Instagram component to download a display of the corresponding Instagram component. As part of this technical process, Instagram gains knowledge of which specific subpage of our website the data subject has visited.
If the data subject is simultaneously logged into Instagram, Instagram detects with each visit to our website and throughout the duration of their stay on our website which specific subpage the data subject has visited. This information is collected by the Instagram component and assigned by Instagram to the respective Instagram account of the data subject. If the data subject interacts with any of the Instagram buttons integrated into our website, the transmitted data and information are assigned to the data subject’s personal Instagram account and stored and processed by Instagram.
Instagram receives information via the Instagram component whenever the data subject visits our website, provided the data subject is logged into Instagram at the time of accessing our website. This occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Instagram component or not. If the data subject does not wish this information to be transmitted to Instagram, they can prevent the transmission by logging out of their Instagram account before accessing our website.
Further information and Instagram's applicable data protection regulations can be accessed at https://help.instagram.com/155833707900388 and https://www.instagram.com/about/legal/privacy/.
12. Data Protection Provisions Regarding the Use of YouTube
The controller has integrated YouTube components into this website. YouTube is an online video portal that allows video publishers to upload video clips for free and enables other users to view, rate, and comment on these videos at no cost. YouTube allows the publication of all types of videos, including full movies and TV shows, music videos, trailers, and user-generated content.
The operating company of YouTube is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.
Each time an individual page of this website, operated by the controller and incorporating a YouTube component (YouTube video), is accessed, the internet browser on the data subject's IT system is automatically prompted by the respective YouTube component to download a display of the corresponding YouTube component from YouTube. Further information about YouTube can be accessed at https://www.youtube.com/yt/about/. As part of this technical process, YouTube and Google gain knowledge of which specific subpage of our website the data subject has visited.
If the data subject is simultaneously logged into YouTube, YouTube detects with each visit to a subpage containing a YouTube video which specific subpage of our website the data subject has visited. This information is collected by YouTube and Google and assigned to the respective YouTube account of the data subject.
YouTube and Google receive information via the YouTube component whenever the data subject visits our website, provided the data subject is logged into YouTube at the time of accessing our website. This occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks on a YouTube video or not. If the data subject does not wish this information to be transmitted to YouTube and Google, they can prevent the transmission by logging out of their YouTube account before accessing our website.
The data protection policies published by YouTube, which can be accessed at https://www.google.de/intl/en/policies/privacy/, provide information on the collection, processing, and use of personal data by YouTube and Google.
13. Legal Basis for Processing
Article 6(1)(a) GDPR serves as the legal basis for our company in processing operations where we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the fulfillment of a contract to which the data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations required for the delivery of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. The same applies to processing operations necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, such as inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data, such as fulfilling tax obligations, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(c) GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured on our premises and their name, age, health insurance details, or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital, or other third party. In such a case, processing would be based on Article 6(1)(d) GDPR.
Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. This legal basis applies to processing operations not covered by any of the aforementioned legal grounds, where processing is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of our company or a third party, provided the interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms of the data subject do not override these interests. Such processing operations are particularly permitted because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. The legislator considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47, Sentence 2 GDPR).
14. Legitimate Interests in Processing Pursued by the Controller or a Third Party
If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, our legitimate interest is the conduct of our business operations in favor of the well-being of all our employees and shareholders.
15. Duration for Which Personal Data Is Stored
The criterion for determining the storage duration of personal data is the respective legal retention period. After the expiration of this period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted unless it is still required for contract fulfillment or contract initiation.
16. Legal or Contractual Requirements for Providing Personal Data; Necessity for Contract Conclusion; Obligation of the Data Subject to Provide Personal Data; Possible Consequences of Non-Provision
We inform you that providing personal data is partially required by law (e.g., tax regulations) or may also result from contractual provisions (e.g., information about the contracting party). In some cases, it may be necessary for a contract that a data subject provides us with personal data, which we must subsequently process. For example, the data subject is required to provide us with personal data if our company enters into a contract with them.
