Content from external services
We integrate content from platforms such as YouTube, Pageflow or esri (map service) on our website. These services are inactive by default, but can be activated by the user. The services are subject to the usual data protection rules in EU and EEA countries. For example, if you actively use a recommendation button on our site, general framework data such as your IP address may be transmitted back to the platforms through the embedding technology. We have no influence on how the platforms use the data, including to create user profiles. Please find out about this directly from the respective provider and adjust your privacy settings there.
