Use of Vimeo
We use plug-ins from Vimeo Inc. (555 West 18th Street New York, New York 10011, USA; “Vimeo”) on our website to integrate videos from the “Vimeo” portal.
If you access pages on our website with such a plug-in, a connection will be established to Vimeo's servers and the plug-in will be displayed on the page by notifying your browser. This means that both your IP address and the information about which of our pages you have visited are transmitted to Vimeo's servers.
If you are logged in to Vimeo, Vimeo assigns this information to your personal user account. When you use the plug-in functions (e.g. by starting a video by pressing the corresponding button), this information is also assigned to your Vimeo account.
Your data may be transferred to the USA. There is no adequacy decision from the EU Commission for the USA. The data transfer is based, among other things, on standard contractual clauses as appropriate guarantees for the protection of personal data, which can be viewed at: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection /standard-contractual-clauses-scc_de.
Your personal data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR due to our overriding legitimate interest in the needs-based and targeted design of our website as well as Vimeo's legitimate interest in market analysis and in improving its services in a needs-based and targeted manner. You have the right to object to this processing of personal data concerning you at any time for reasons relating to your particular situation.
If you do not want Vimeo to associate the collected information directly with your Vimeo account, you must log out of Vimeo before visiting our website.
