Use of Facebook Social Plugins
Our legitimate interest within the meaning of the GDPR is to improve our services and to analyse, optimise and operate our website commercially. We therefore use social plugins (“plugins”) from the social network facebook.com, operated by Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland (“Facebook”).
These plugins may display content such as graphics, text posts or videos, as well as interactive elements. They can be identified by one of the Facebook logos—the letter “f” on the relevant background or the thumbs-up symbol—the terms “Like” or “Gefällt mir”, or the designation “Facebook Social Plugin”. A list and examples of Facebook social plugins are available at: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/.
Facebook is certified under the Privacy Shield Framework and therefore provides an assurance of compliance with European data protection law: https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000GnywAAC&status=Active.

Content and features provided by Instagram may be embedded in our online services. These are offered by Instagram Inc., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. They may include images, videos, text and buttons that allow users to interact with the content.

If you contact us by email or through our contact form, the information you provide—such as your email address, name and message—will be stored on the servers of our hosting provider, Squarespace.com, for the purpose of processing your enquiry and responding to any follow-up questions.
We have entered into a data processing agreement with Squarespace.com under which the company undertakes to protect our users’ data. Data associated with your enquiry is processed on the basis of your consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. You may withdraw this consent and request the erasure of your data at any time.

Embedded YouTube Videos
On the basis of our legitimate interests pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, we embed videos from YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Avenue, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA, on some pages of our website in order to provide video content to our users.
When you visit a page containing an embedded YouTube video, a connection is established with YouTube’s servers. YouTube is informed which pages you visit. If you are logged into your YouTube account, YouTube may associate your browsing activity with you personally. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account beforehand.
We use YouTube’s enhanced privacy mode. This means that cookies collecting information about user behaviour are set by the provider only when a user starts a video.
Users who have disabled cookies for the Google advertising programme should not receive such cookies when watching YouTube videos. However, YouTube also stores non-personal usage information in other cookies. To prevent this, you must block the storage of cookies in your browser.
