The legal basis for this processing of your data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR in conjunction with Section 7 para. 3 UWG, based on our interest in carrying out direct advertising to our existing customers.

You can object to data processing for the aforementioned purposes at any time, free of charge and with effect for the future. All you need to do is unsubscribe via the link in the respective email or send an email to the contact details above.

3.5 Newsletter

You have the option of subscribing to our newsletter, in which we inform you up to four times a month about offers and news from YT. The data collected can be seen from the registration form. To order our newsletter, we use the so-called double opt-in procedure, i.e. we will only send you the newsletter by e-mail if you confirm in our notification e-mail by clicking on a link that you are the owner of the e-mail address provided. If you confirm your e-mail address, we will store your e-mail address, the time of registration and the IP address used for registration until you unsubscribe from the newsletter. The sole purpose of this storage is to send you the newsletter and to be able to prove your registration.

The legal basis for the processing is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR.

We use the services of Salesforce to send newsletters. The provider is Salesforce Inc. Salesforce Tower, 415 Mission Street, 3rd Floor, San Francisco, CA 94105, United States.

We have concluded a so-called "Data Processing Agreement" with Salesforce, in which we oblige Salesforce to protect our customers' data and not to pass it on to third parties.

Salesforce is a service that can be used to organise and analyse the sending of newsletters, among other things. If you enter data for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter (e.g. email address), this data is stored on Salesforce's servers in Germany.

With the help of Salesforce, we can analyse our newsletter campaigns. When you open an email sent with Salesforce, a file contained in the email (known as a web beacon) connects to the Salesforce servers in Germany. This makes it possible to determine whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links, if any, have been clicked on. Technical information is also collected (e.g. time of access, IP address, browser type and operating system). This information cannot be assigned to the respective newsletter recipient. It is used exclusively for the statistical analysis of newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyses can be used to better adapt future newsletters to the interests of the recipients and to understand the effectiveness of our advertising measures.

The legal basis for newsletter tracking is your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR), which you give in connection with subscribing to the newsletter. You can revoke your consent to tracking at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter.

You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time. A corresponding unsubscribe link can be found in every newsletter message. Alternatively, you can also send your unsubscribe request at any time to the contact details above. This will not incur any costs other than the transmission costs according to the basic tariffs of your internet service provider. You can also unsubscribe from the newsletter directly on the website.

The data you provide us with for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and deleted from both our servers and the Salesforce servers after you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Data stored by us for other purposes (e.g. email addresses for the member area) remain unaffected by this. You can read more about this in Salesforce's privacy policy: https://www.salesforce.com/ca/company/privacy/.

In order to make visiting our website attractive and to enable, protect and improve the use of certain functions, we use browser cookies, scripts, web beacons, tracking URLs, pixel tags and similar technologies (hereinafter "cookies") to provide, protect and improve our website and applications. Below we explain how our cookies work, what their purpose is, what kind of data they collect and how you can manage your cookie settings.

4.1 What are cookies and how do they work?

These are small text files that are stored on your end device. Some of the cookies we use are deleted again at the end of the browser session, i.e. after you close your browser (so-called session cookies). Other cookies remain on your device and enable us to recognise your browser on your next visit (persistent cookies). You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and decide individually whether to accept them or to exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general. If you do not accept cookies, the functionality of our website may be limited.

Most web browsers (see Help function in the menu bar of your browser) can be set by you so that they do not accept new cookies, that you receive a message that a new cookie has been placed or that all cookies received are switched off. For smartphones, tablets and other mobile and stationary devices, you can find the necessary settings in the respective operating instructions.

However, we recommend that you leave the cookie functions switched on completely, as only with cookies is it possible to further improve our website for your needs. Our cookies do not store any sensitive data such as passwords, credit card details or similar. They do not cause any damage to your end device and do not contain any viruses.

When you visit our website for the first time, a pop-up window, the so-called Cookie Consent Manager, opens automatically. In this Consent Manager, you can select which category of cookies you would like to accept. You can change your selection at any time by clicking on the "Cookie settings" link at the bottom of the website.

4.2 Technically necessary cookies

Cookies that are required to manage the website and carry out the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions that you have requested (e.g. shopping basket function, language settings) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

On our website, we use Google Tag Manager (hereinafter referred to as "GTM"), a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

The Google Tag Manager is a tag management system that enables and simplifies the management and control of website tags via an interface. This means that the GTM only implements tags. Tags are small code elements such as tracking codes or conversion pixels from analysis tools, such as Google Analytics, which are integrated into our website. No additional cookies are used via the GTM and no user profiles are created, but only the loading of other analysis tools is controlled, which in turn collect data to measure user behaviour on our website, display interest-based advertising and record the impact of advertisements. GTM does not access this data. If you deactivate cookies in your browser or cookie settings, this also has a direct effect on the tracking tags that are implemented with the GTM.

This data comes from interest-based advertising from Google and visitor data from third-party providers. This data cannot be assigned to a specific person. You can deactivate this function at any time via the ad settings in your Google account or generally prohibit the collection of your data by Google Analytics as described above.

c) Google AdSense

Google AdSense uses "cookies", which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyse how users use the site. Google AdSense also uses so-called web beacons (invisible graphics). These web beacons can be used to analyse information such as visitor traffic on these pages.

The information generated by cookies and web beacons about the use of this website (including your IP address) and the delivery of advertising formats is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. This information may be passed on by Google to contractual partners of Google. However, Google will not merge your IP address with other data stored by you.

By giving your consent, you agree to the processing of the data collected about you by Google in the manner described above and for the aforementioned purpose.

d) Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking

This website uses Google AdWords. AdWords is an online advertising programme of Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States ("Google"). As part of Google AdWords, we use what is known as conversion tracking. When you click on an advert placed by Google, a cookie is set for conversion tracking. Cookies are small text files that the Internet browser stores on the user's computer. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used to personally identify the user. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognise that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page.

Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. The cookies cannot be tracked via the websites of AdWords customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers are told the total number of users who clicked on their advert and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users. If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can withdraw your consent by deactivating the Google conversion tracking cookie via your Internet browser under user settings. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics. You can find more information about Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking in Google's privacy policy: https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/.

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If you deactivate cookies, the functionality of this website may be restricted.

e) Facebook Pixel

Within our website, the so-called "Facebook pixel" of the social network Facebook, which is operated by Facebook Inc, 1601 South California Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA, or if you are based in the EU, Facebook Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Facebook"), is used.

With the help of the Facebook pixel, it is possible for Facebook to determine you as a visitor to our online offering as a target group for the display of adverts (so-called "Facebook ads"). Accordingly, we use the Facebook pixel to display the Facebook ads placed by us only to those Facebook users who have also shown an interest in our online offering or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products determined on the basis of the websites visited) that we transmit to Facebook (so-called "custom audiences"). With the help of the Facebook pixel, we also want to ensure that our Facebook ads correspond to the potential interest of users and are not annoying. With the help of the Facebook pixel, we can also track the effectiveness of Facebook adverts for statistical and market research purposes by seeing whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook advert (so-called "conversion"). We only receive statistical data from Facebook for this purpose without reference to a specific person.

If you do not want Facebook to assign the information collected directly to your Facebook user account, you can deactivate the Custom Audiences remarketing function here: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads. You must be logged in to Facebook to do this.

You can read more data protection information from Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/policy.php.

We use the Microsoft Advertising service provided by Microsoft Ireland Operations Limited (Ireland/EU) (formerly Bing Ads) on our website. Microsoft Advertising is an online marketing service that uses the Universal Event Tracking (UET) tool to help us display targeted adverts via the Microsoft Bing search engines. Microsoft Advertising uses cookies for this purpose. Personal data is processed in the form of online identifiers (including cookie identifiers), IP addresses, device identifiers and information about device and browser settings.

Microsoft Advertising collects data via UET that we can use to track target groups thanks to remarketing lists. For this purpose, a cookie is stored on the end device used when you visit our website. This enables Microsoft Advertising to recognise that our website has been visited and to display an advertisement when Microsoft Bing or Yahoo is subsequently used. The information is also used to create conversion statistics, i.e. to record how many users have reached our website after clicking on an advert. This tells us the total number of users who clicked on our advert and were redirected to our website.

However, we do not receive any information with which users can be personally identified.

Processing will only take place with your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 letter a GDPR. You can revoke your consent via our Consent Management Tool. You can also deactivate personalised advertising at Microsoft at: https://account.microsoft.com/privacy/ad-settings/.

5. WHAT DO WE USE SOCIAL MEDIA FOR?

5.1 Social media plug-ins

We offer you the option of using so-called "social media buttons" on our website. These buttons are only integrated on the website as a graphic that contains a link to the corresponding website of the button provider. By clicking on the graphic, you will be redirected to the services of the respective provider. Only then will your data be sent to the respective provider. Among other things, the provider receives the information that you have visited our website with your IP address. If you are logged into your respective social media account, the respective provider can assign the visit to our website to your user account. If you do not wish this to happen, please log out of your social media account. If you do not click on the graphic, there will be no exchange between you and the providers of the social media buttons. Information about the collection and use of your data in the social networks can be found in the respective terms of use of the corresponding providers.

We have integrated the social media buttons of the following companies on our website:

Facebook Inc. (1601 S. California Ave - Palo Alto - CA 94304 - USA) for Facebook and Instagram
Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) for YouTube

c) Processing of your data by the operator of the respective social media platform

Please note that the operator of the respective social media platform is solely responsible for the processing of your data on the social media platform and determines the type, scope and purposes of the processing of your data when you use it.

Social network operators can view general statistics on the interests and demographic characteristics (such as age, gender, region) of social media platform users. We would like to point out that when you visit our social media pages, your user data may also be processed outside the EU.

We have no influence on the data processing procedures on the social media platforms or on the possible transfer of your data to countries outside the EU and are not covered in this privacy policy.

This enables us to optimise our social media profile activities, for example by better responding to the interests and usage habits of our audience when planning and selecting our content.

The data collected by us will only be passed on if:

you have given your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR,
the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR is necessary for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in not disclosing your data,
we are legally obliged to pass on data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR or this is legally permissible and
it is necessary in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR for the processing of contractual relationships with you or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures that are carried out at your request.

Within our company, only those persons and departments (e.g. financial accounting, purchasing, sales, customer service) that require your personal data to fulfil our contractual and legal obligations will receive it.

If external service providers are used to operate the website or to provide services, they may only use your data to fulfil their tasks. The service providers have been carefully selected and commissioned by us. They are contractually bound by our instructions, have suitable technical and organisational measures in place to protect therights of the data subjects and are regularly monitored by us. Data processing by our processors takes place predominantly in Germany or within another member state of the European Union.

If a service provider processes your data outside the European Union, we will inform you separately in this privacy policy. In this case, your data may be transferred to a country that does not offer the same data protection standards as the European Union. In this case, we will ensure that the respective service providers contractually (e.g. by concluding standard contractual clauses in accordance with Commission Decision (EU) 2021/914 of 4 June 2021) or otherwise guarantee a level of data protection equivalent to that of the European Union in accordance with Chapter 5 of the GDPR.

In addition, data may be passed on in connection with official enquiries, court orders and legal proceedings if this is necessary for legal prosecution or enforcement.

7. WHEN WILL YOUR DATA BE DELETED?

In principle, we only store personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil contractual or legal obligations. Once a contract has been fully processed or your customer account has been deleted, your data will be blocked for further use and deleted after the retention periods under tax and commercial law have expired, unless we still need the data for evidence purposes for civil law claims until the statutory limitation period has expired or you have expressly consented to the further use of your data. The deletion of your customer account is possible at any time and can be done either by sending an informal message to the above-mentioned contact details or via a function provided for this purpose in the customer account.

8. OBLIGATION TO PROVIDE YOUR DATA

As part of our business relationship, you must provide the personal data that is necessary for the establishment, execution and termination of the business relationship and the fulfilment of the associated contractual obligations or that we are legally obliged to collect.
