2.2 Showing videos (vimeo)
In several places on our blog, we have embedded videos which are provided by a third party. This concerns videos from the “vimeo” platform. vimeo is a service of Vimeo, Inc., 555 West 18th Street, New York, NY 10011, USA.

In general, we erase or render anonymous your personal data as soon as they are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which we have collected or otherwise processed them in accordance with the foregoing clauses, unless continued storage of your personal data is required to fulfill a legal obligation.
Specifically, we retain different categories of data for the periods listed below (we will retain your data for a longer period if we are obliged to do in light of statutory retention periods).

Your data will only be retained beyond this period if you are appointed following the end of the application process, and your employee data is transferred from the e-Recruiting System into the relevant HR administration system, or if you have explicitly consented to a longer storage period.
9. Change of purpose
Your personal data will only be used for purposes other than those described insofar as this is permitted by law, or if you have consented to a change of data processing purpose. In the case that data are processed for purposes other than those for which the data were originally collected, we shall inform you of this different purpose prior to the processing, and shall provide you with all information relevant thereto.
10. Disclosure of data to third parties/recipients of data
The personal data that we collect and retain shall never be used by us for sale, trade or loan, and we shall not disclose your personal data to third parties unless we are have a statutory obligation to do so. Data may be disclosed e.g. to assert a claim, in the exercise or defense of legal claims, to investigate unlawful use of our blog or products, or for prosecution of a claim (insofar as there are reasonable grounds to suspect unlawful or unfair conduct). Data may also be disclosed for the enforcement of Terms and Conditions of Use or other agreements. We are also obliged to grant access to certain public bodies on request. These include law enforcement authorities, authorities which prosecute administrative offenses, and tax authorities. These data are disclosed on the basis of our legitimate interest in combating misuse, the prosecution of offenses, and the securing, assertion and enforcement of claims. The legal basis is point (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR.
Your data shall also be disclosed if you have consented to that. The legal basis to this extent is point (a) of Article 6(1) GDPR.
We rely on contractually bound third-party companies and external service providers (“processors”) to supply our range of products and services. In such cases, personal data are disclosed to these processors to enable further processing thereof. These processors are carefully selected and regularly checked to ensure that your privacy remains protected. The processors may only use the data for the specified purposes, and are also contractually obliged to handle your data in compliance with this data protection statement and the German data protection laws.
Specifically, we may use the following processors:
- Service providers for evaluation and analysis of blog usage, some of whom are similarly based in the USA.
- Service providers and advertisers who provide us with support for personalization of our marketing campaigns, our blog, Website, and our services, and some of whom are based in the USA.
Data is disclosed to processors on the basis of Article 28(1) GDPR, alternatively on the basis of our legitimate interest in the economic and technical benefits provided by the use of specialized processors, and based on the fact that your rights and interests in protecting your personal data are not overridden, point (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR. If necessary, we shall obtain your consent to disclose your personal data to processors, in which case point (a) of Article 6(1) GDPR forms the legal basis.
Some of the listed recipients shall also process your data in countries outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”).
In order to ensure that your personality rights are also protected within the scope of these data transfers, we use the standard data protection clauses adopted by the Commission pursuant to point (c) of Article 46(2) GDPR in drafting contracts with recipients in third countries.
