YouTube is an Internet video portal that enables video publishers to post video clips and other users to view, rate and comment on them free of charge. YouTube allows the publication of all types of videos, which is why complete film and television programmes, but also music videos, trailers or videos made by users themselves can be accessed via the Internet portal.

Each time a YouTube component (YouTube video) has been integrated into one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the data controller, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the person concerned is automatically prompted by the respective YouTube component to download a representation of the corresponding YouTube component from YouTube. Further information on YouTube can be found at https://www.youtube.com/yt/about/de/ As part of this technical process, YouTube and Google obtain information about which specific subpage of our website is visited by the person concerned.
If the person concerned is logged into YouTube at the same time, YouTube recognizes which specific subpage of our website the person concerned is visiting by calling up a subpage containing a YouTube video. This information is collected by YouTube and Google and assigned to the respective YouTube account of the person concerned.
YouTube and Google always receive information via the YouTube component that the person concerned has visited our website if the person concerned is logged on to YouTube at the same time as accessing our website; this occurs regardless of whether the person concerned clicks on a YouTube video or not. If the data subject does not want YouTube and Google to receive such information, they may prevent the transmission by logging out of their YouTube account before visiting our website.

10. privacy policy regarding the use of Matomo (formerly Piwik)
The data controller has integrated the Matomo component on this website. Matomo is an open source software tool for web analysis. Web analysis is the collection, collection and evaluation of data about the behavior of visitors to Internet sites. A web analysis tool collects data on, among other things, from which website a person concerned came to a website (so-called referrer), which subpages of the website were accessed or how often and for how long a subpage was viewed. A web analysis is mainly used to optimise a website and to analyse the costs and benefits of Internet advertising.
The software is operated on the server of the data controller, the data protection sensitive log files are stored exclusively on this server.
The purpose of the Matomo component is to analyse the flow of visitors to our website. The data controller uses the data and information obtained, among other things, to evaluate the use of this website in order to compile online reports showing the activities on our website.
Matomo places a cookie on the data subject's information technology system. What cookies are has already been explained above. The use of cookies enables us to analyse the use of our website. Each time one of the individual pages of this website is accessed, the Matomo component automatically prompts the Internet browser on the data subject's information technology system to transmit data to our server for online analysis. As part of this technical process, we gain knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the person concerned, which we use, among other things, to track the origin of visitors and clicks.
Personal information such as the access time, the location from which an access originated and the frequency of visits to our website are stored by means of cookies. Each time you visit our website, this personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the person concerned, is transferred to our server. This personal data is stored by us. We do not pass this personal data on to third parties.
The person concerned can prevent the setting of cookies by our Internet site, as already described above, at any time by means of an appropriate setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Matomo from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the person concerned. In addition, a cookie already set by Matomo can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs.
Furthermore, the data subject may object to the collection of data generated by Matomo in connection with the use of this website and prevent such collection. For this purpose, the person concerned must set "Do Not Track" in your browser.
With the setting of the opt-out cookie, however, it is possible that the Internet pages of the person responsible for processing may no longer be fully usable by the data subject.
Further information and the valid data protection regulations of Matomo can be found at https://matomo.org/privacy/ .
Matomo's data is stored on the WESSAMAT web server and is not passed on to third parties or server systems outside the EU.

We undertake to protect your privacy and to treat your personal data confidentially. In order to prevent the loss or misuse of data stored by us, we take extensive technical and organizational security precautions, which are regularly reviewed and adapted to technological progress.

12. encryption of data transfer or communication
The transfer of data from the user's computer to the WESSAMAT WebServer as well as the download of data from the WESSAMAT WebServer to the user's computer is encrypted.
WESSAMAT uses the current SSL (Secure Socket Layer, Version 3.0) encryption standard for this purpose. This proven cryptographic method is used worldwide as the standard for highly sensitive transactions on the Internet, such as online banking and sensitive Internet applications.
It combines a 2048-bit public key with a 256-bit symmetric key. The lock symbol in the browser window indicates whether the information is transmitted securely and which encryption length is supported in the browser.
The authenticity of the WESSAMAT encryption key is confirmed by the Starfield Technology Inc. root certificate. By clicking on the green lock symbol at the beginning of the address line, the user learns more about the certificate.
13. hyperlinks to external websites
