Queries which are received via the offer request form on our Internet site are generally saved in our CRM system. The CRM system is checked at regular intervals as to whether data can be deleted.

8. Use of a YouTube plugin / embedded YouTube videos

8. Use of a YouTube plug-in/embedded YouTube videos
In order to embed external videos, this website includes the function for accessing a YouTube plug-in, belonging to Google Inc., headquartered in San Bruno, California, USA.

The linked YouTube videos are flagged with a notice and are only loaded and embedded after you give your explicit approval. To do this, you must actively click the “accept” button provided and only after doing so will you be connected to YouTube and a video embedded for playback. You will not be connected to YouTube, and no data will be transmitted, unless you click this button.

Actively loading a YouTube video
You will be connected to the YouTube servers as soon as you visit a page on our website featuring this function and actively click the button/link to load a YouTube video. The YouTube server will be informed about which specific page of our websites you have visited. If you are also logged into your YouTube account, this would allow YouTube to assign your browsing behavior directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your account beforehand.

You can find more information about the processing of your personal data by YouTube in their privacy notices at https://www.youtube.com.
