Whenever somebody visits a website, data is gathered and exchanged. Design and Systems does not extend and store any data – but data may be added by third parties (eg videos from Vimeo on our pages):

Within our online offer, we use third-party content or services based on our legitimate interests (ie interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offer within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) DSGVO) to provide their services, such as the integration of videos from Vimeo.
This assumes that these third parties also perceive the IP address of the users, as they could not send the content to their browser without the IP address. The IP address is therefore required for the presentation of this content.
The information obtained in this way may be stored in cookies on users’ devices, including, but not limited to, information about browsers and operating systems, referring web pages, visiting hours and other information regarding the use of our online offer, as well as information from other sources.

We use the provider Vimeo for the integration of videos. vimeo.com is operated by Vimeo, LLC, headquartered at 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011. On some of our websites we use plugins from Vimeo. If you call up the Internet pages provided with such a plugin, a connection is made to the Vimeo servers and the plugin is displayed. This will be transmitted to the Vimeo server, which of our websites you have visited. If you are logged in as a member of Vimeo, Vimeo also assigns this information to your personal user account. Clicking on the start button of a video also assigns this information to your user account. You can prevent this association by logging out of your Vimeo user account before using our website and deleting the corresponding cookies from Vimeo.
Please note that Vimeo may use Google Analytics and refer to the privacy policy (https://www.google.com/policies/privacy) and opt-out options for Google Analytics (http://tools.google .com / dlpage / gaoptout? hl = DE) or Google’s data usage settings for marketing purposes (https://adssettings.google.com/.).
