If you have given your consent or we are otherwise legally authorized to do so, we will pass on your personal data to service providers (e.g., hosting, marketing, sales partners, payment service providers) for the above-mentioned purposes. In such cases, we comply with the legal requirements and, in particular, conclude appropriate contracts or agreements with the recipients of your data to protect your data.

We transfer personal data to other companies within our group of companies or grant them access to this data for administrative purposes. This transfer of data is based on our legitimate business and economic interests or takes place if it is necessary to fulfill our contractual obligations or if the consent of the data subjects or legal permission has been obtained.

In order to use our digital services, it may be necessary to transfer certain personal data to third countries, i.e. countries where the GDPR does not apply. However, we only allow your data to be processed in a third country if the specific requirements of Art. 44 ff. GDPR are met and thus an adequate level of data protection is guaranteed in that country. This means that the third country must either have an adequacy decision by the European Commission or suitable safeguards in accordance with Art. 46 GDPR or one of the conditions of Art. 49 GDPR. Unless otherwise stated below, we use the currently valid [standard contractual clauses](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/DE/TXT/HTML/? uri=CELEX:32021D0914&from=DE “current version of the standard contractual clauses”) for the transfer of personal data to processors in third countries.

In order to protect your privacy and ensure a level of protection appropriate to the risk, we take technical and organizational measures in accordance with legal requirements, taking into account the state of the art, implementation costs, and the nature, scope, circumstances, and purposes of processing, as well as the varying likelihood and severity of threats to the rights and freedoms of natural persons. These measures ensure the confidentiality, integrity, availability, and resilience of your data. This includes, among other things, the use of recognized encryption methods (SSL or TLS) and pseudonymization.

However, we would like to point out that, due to the structure of the Internet, it is possible that the rules of data protection and the above-mentioned security measures may not be observed by other persons or institutions outside our area of responsibility. In particular, unencrypted data disclosed, e.g., by email, may be read by third parties. We have no technical influence on this.

We delete or anonymize your personal data as soon as it is no longer required for the purposes for which we collected or used it.

However, we may still need to store your data until the expiry of the retention obligations and periods imposed by the legislator or supervisory authorities, which may arise from the German Commercial Code, the German Fiscal Code, and the German Money Laundering Act (usually 6 to 10 years). In addition, we may retain your data until the expiry of the statutory limitation periods (i.e., usually 3 years, but in individual cases up to 30 years) if this is necessary for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims. After that, the relevant data will be deleted.

You can contact the data protection officer with your request by mail or by email at swmh-datenschutz@atarax.de.

This privacy policy is updated from time to time. The date of the last update can be found at the beginning of this information.

You can obtain an overview of all the tools and cookies we use as well as an option to withdraw your consent by clicking on Privacy settings at the bottom of the website you are visiting.

You will find detailed data protection information below.

We use cookies and similar technologies to provide you with the best experience when using our digital offerings. We use them to ensure functionality, IT security, and fraud prevention.

If cookies, device identifiers, or other personal data are stored or accessed on your device for processing purposes, this is done on one of the legal bases set out in Art. 6 GDPR.

In order to be able to provide the telemedia service you have expressly requested, we also take into account the provisions of Section 25 of the German Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act (TDDDG), in particular the requirement under Section 25 (2) No. 2 TDDDG.

Cookies are text files that contain data from visited websites or domains and are stored by a browser on users' devices. A cookie primarily serves to store information about a user during or after their visit to an online offering. The stored information may include, for example, language settings on a website, login status, a shopping cart, or video interactions. The term “cookies” also includes other technologies that perform the same functions as cookies (e.g., when user information is stored using pseudonymous online identifiers, also known as “user IDs”).

There are the following types of cookies and functions:

• Temporary cookies (also known as session cookies): Temporary cookies are deleted at the latest after a user leaves an online offering and closes their browser.
• Permanent cookies: Permanent cookies remain stored even after the browser is closed. This allows, for example, the login status to be saved or preferred content to be displayed directly when the user visits a website again. Similarly, the interests of users, which are used for reach measurement or marketing purposes, can be stored in such a cookie.
• First-party cookies: First-party cookies are set and used by us to process user information.
• Third-party cookies: Third-party cookies are mainly used by advertisers (so-called third parties) or other partners to process user information.
• Strictly necessary (also: essential or necessary) cookies: These cookies ensure functions without which these digital offerings could not be used as desired. They may be absolutely necessary for the operation of a website, for example to store logins or other user entries, or for security reasons.
• Analysis and statistics cookies: These cookies enable us to analyze the use of our digital offerings, in particular to measure reach—i.e., clicks, visits, and visitor numbers. The aim is to statistically determine the number of visits and visitors and their surfing behavior (duration, origin) and thus obtain market-wide comparable values. The information collected is evaluated in aggregate form in order to derive improvements and optimizations for our products.
• Marketing and personalization cookies: Cookies are also used to store a user's interests or behavior (e.g., viewing certain content, using functions, etc.) in a user profile. Such profiles are used, for example, to display content to users that corresponds to their potential interests. This process is also referred to as “tracking,” i.e., tracking the potential interests of users. If we use cookies or tracking technologies, we will provide separate information about this in our privacy policy or when obtaining consent.

When our offer is used, we automatically employ essential technologies and process the following information:

• Information about the accessing device and the software used
• Date and time of access
• Websites from which the user accesses our website or which the user visits via our website
• IP address

The collection of these logs and their temporary storage and processing are necessary to ensure system security and integrity (in particular to ward off and defend against attempts at attack or damage) and are carried out in accordance with our legitimate interest (§ 25 (2) No. 2 TDDDG, Art. 6 (1) f GDPR).

The storage period for this log data is usually seven days; for reliable detection of AI bots, it is 30 days. From this point on, this specific server log data is anonymized based on our legitimate interest in statistical evaluation to assess AI bots and their impact on our content (Art. 6 (1) f GDPR).

The legal basis for the aforementioned data processing is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR.

The following tools and cookies are strictly necessary technologies, i.e., essential for providing our services as requested by the user.

The legal basis for the data processing described below is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

We use embeds, i.e., embedded content, to offer you interesting content. The respective embedding is carried out using a technical process known as framing. Framing involves simply inserting a provided HTML link into the code of a website to create a display frame on our pages, enabling the content stored on the servers of the third-party platform to be played.

This third-party content is displayed to you with your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR).

• In accordance with Art. 16 GDPR, you can immediately request the correction of incorrect or the completion of your personal data stored by us.
• In accordance with Art. 17 GDPR, you can request the erasure of your personal data stored by us.

• In accordance with Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR, you can revoke your consent once given to us at any time. This means that the processing carried out on the basis of the consent prior to the revocation was lawful and has the consequence that we may no longer continue the data processing based on this consent in the future.

Right to object

If your personal data is processed on the basis of legitimate interests in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR or Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. e) GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data in accordance with Art. 21 GDPR. In the event of such an objection, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
In the case of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you. If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data will no longer be processed for these purposes.

Right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority

You have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority against the processing of your personal data if you feel that your rights under the GDPR have been violated. As a rule, you can contact the supervisory authority of your usual place of residence, your workplace or our company headquarters.

We are joint controllers in the following cases.

We use the technical platform and services of YouTube, a Google company, with its principal place of business at Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. This means that if you are habitually resident in the European Economic Area or Switzerland, unless otherwise specified in any additional terms, you will be provided with the services of Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), a company incorporated and operated under the laws of Ireland.

In accordance with the Google Privacy Policy, we assume that personal data, including its processing, will also be transferred to servers of Google LLC in the USA.

In its judgement in case C-210/16, the CJEU ruled that platform operators (in this case YouTube) and the operator of a channel located on the platform are jointly responsible for the data processing carried out via the respective channel. In this respect, platform operators and channel operators are to be regarded as joint controllers pursuant to Art. 26 GDPR.

Data processed by us__

Your personal data is processed for the purpose of market observation and user communication, in particular by initiating and obtaining user feedback. We process the following access data for the aforementioned purposes:
Access source, region, age, gender, subscription status regarding YouTube channel, subscription source, playlist, device type, YouTube product, live/on demand, playback location, operating system, subtitles, language for video information, translations used, element type, info card type, info card, where was shared.
The above data processing can be legitimised in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR and our "legitimate interest". We have pointed out the right to object in accordance with Art. 21 GDPR (see below). Our legitimate interest lies in playing video content on YouTube with the widest possible reach. With the help of the data collected, the topics, design, length and playback time of the videos can be better tailored to user behaviour.

If you contact us directly as a YouTube user, for example via enquiries, comments and feedback, this contact and the communication of your details is expressly on a voluntary basis and with your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR). We may forward your comments or reply to them or write comments that refer to your account. The data you freely publish and disseminate on our YouTube channel is thus included by us in our offering and made accessible to our followers and other users. In addition, we process the data that you voluntarily provide to us as part of a personal message, if necessary for the purpose of replying to the message.

Data processed by YouTube__

Information about what data is processed by YouTube and for what purposes this data is used can be found in the YouTube Privacy Policy. By using YouTube, your personal data will be collected, transferred, stored, disclosed and used by YouTube and transferred to, stored and used in the United States and any other country in which YouTube does business, regardless of your place of residence.

On the one hand, YouTube processes your voluntarily entered personal data such as your name and user name, email address, telephone number or the contacts in your address book when you upload or synchronise it. On the other hand, YouTube also analyses the content you share to determine which topics you are interested in, stores and processes confidential messages that you send directly to other users and can determine your location using GPS data, information on wireless networks or your IP address in order to send you advertising or other content. YouTube may use analysis tools such as Google Analytics for evaluation purposes. If tools of this type are used by YouTube for our channel, this is not done on our behalf. The data obtained during the analysis is also not made available to us. We can only view the information on access activities listed under point 1. This so-called "log data" can be the IP address, the browser type, the operating system, information about the previously accessed website and the pages you have accessed, your location, your mobile phone provider, the end device you are using (including device ID and application ID), the search terms you have used and cookie information.

You have the option of restricting the processing of your data in the settings of your YouTube account as well as information on these options at https://support.google.com/accounts?hl=de#topic=3382296. In addition, you can restrict YouTube's access to contact and calendar data, photos, location data, etc. on mobile devices (smartphones, tablet computers) in the settings options there. However, this depends on the operating system used.

You also have the option of requesting information via the YouTube privacy policy or the YouTube terms of use or via YouTube's community guidelines and security at:
https://www.youtube.de/t/privacy
https://www.youtube.com/t/terms
https://www.youtube.de/t/community_guidelines
Further information on YouTube's data protection can be found at https://www.youtube.com/?gl=DE&hl=de

With this privacy policy, we fulfil the information obligations under the GDPR. Our General Terms and Conditions also contain data protection information. These explain in detail how your personal data, which we require to fulfil contracts and for the purpose of identity and credit checks, is processed.

We link to websites of other providers or have integrated elements from them into our website. This data protection information does not apply to them - we have no influence on these sites and cannot check that others comply with the applicable data protection regulations.

We reserve the right to change or adapt this privacy policy at any time in compliance with the applicable data protection regulations.
