The DIHK employs the technical platform and services of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland, for its YouTube channel.

Please note that you use the offered YouTube channel and its functionalities at your own responsibility. This particularly applies to the use of interactive functions (e.g., adding comments). Therefore, carefully consider what information you want to disclose and share with other users in your own interest.

Details on what data Google processes and for what purposes can be found in Google's privacy policy:

The DIHK has no influence on the type and extent of data processed by Google, the processing and usage method, or the transfer of these data to third parties. It also has no effective control mechanisms in this regard.

Using Google involves your personal data being collected, transmitted, stored, disclosed, and utilized by Google, which may be transferred and stored in the United States, Ireland, or any other country where Google conducts business, regardless of your residence. Data may be transmitted to Google-affiliated companies and other trustworthy businesses or individuals processing these on behalf of Google.

Google processes your voluntarily entered data such as name and username, email address, and phone number. Google also processes content you create, upload, or receive while using its services. This includes, for instance, photos and videos you store, documents and spreadsheets you create, and comments you write on YouTube videos.

Additionally, Google analyzes the shared content to discern your interests, stores and processes confidential messages you send directly to other users, and may determine your location using GPS data, wireless network information, or your IP address to provide you with advertising or other content.

For evaluation, Google may use analytical tools like Google Analytics. The DIHK has no influence on Google's use of such tools and has not been informed about their potential use. If analytics tools are employed by Google for DIHK's YouTube channel, DIHK has neither commissioned nor supported such usage in any way. Moreover, the data obtained from analysis are not made available to DIHK. Only certain subscriber profile data are accessible to DIHK via its account. Furthermore, DIHK has no way to prevent or disable the use of such tools on its YouTube channel.

Google also receives information when you view content, even if you haven't created an account. These so-called "log data" may include your IP address, browser type, operating system, details of the previously accessed website, the pages you visit, your location, your mobile service provider, the device you use (including device ID and application ID), as well as the search terms and cookie information you use.

You can limit the processing of your data in the general settings of your Google account. In addition to these tools, Google also offers specific privacy settings for YouTube.

Further information on these points can be found in Google's privacy policy under the term "Privacy Settings": https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en&gl=en#infochoices.

Data processed by DIHK

DIHK also processes your data when you communicate with us via YouTube. Data processing is carried out for DIHK's public relations purposes in connection with its legally assigned tasks (Article 6 e Paragraph 1 lit. f GDPR in conjunction with the respective specialist law). The initial recipient of the data is Google, which may share these with third parties for its own purposes and under Google's responsibility. Additionally, the recipient of publications is the public, potentially everyone. Although DIHK itself does not collect data via its YouTube channel, the embedding of DIHK's YouTube videos on its website (https://www.dihk.de) does not transmit visitors' IP addresses to Google. Specifically, no tracking takes place on the website. However, the data you enter on YouTube, particularly your username and content published under your account, are processed by us insofar as we respond to your publications under "Discussions." The data you freely publish and share on YouTube are thus incorporated into DIHK's offering and made accessible to its followers.
