Privacy Policy for the use of Vimeo plugins

We use the provider Vimeo for the integration of videos. Vimeo is operated by Vimeo, LLC, headquartered at 555 West 18th Street, NY, New York 10011.

On some of our Internet pages we use plugins from the provider Vimeo. If you call up internet pages on our website that are equipped with such a plug-in, a connection to the Vimeo servers is established and the plug-in is displayed. In the process, the Vimeo server is informed which of our Internet pages you have visited. If you are logged in as a member of Vimeo, Vimeo assigns this information to your personal user account. When you use the plugin, e.g. when you click the start button of a video, this information is also assigned to your user account. You can prevent this assignment by logging out of your Vimeo user account before using our website and deleting the associated cookies from Vimeo.
