The legal basis for the integration of the Vimeo videos and the associated transmission of personal data to Vimeo, Inc. is for users of these Internet pages who are in the process of initiating a contract with us, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR. For other users, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR is the legal basis for the transmission of the technically necessary data to Vimeo. Our interest in integrating videos via an external service provider outweighs the interest of the users of our website in not processing personal data.
We have concluded the EU standard contractual clauses with Vimeo in the so-called “controller to con-troller” variant. As further protective measures, we generally embed videos with Vimeo in the “Do Not Track” variant, so that personal data is only transmitted to Vimeo in a necessary manner. In addition, Vimeo has committed to continue to comply with the self-imposed obligations from the former so-called Privacy Shield agreement. This ensures an appropriate level of data protection for the transfer of data to the USA within the meaning of Art. 46 GDPR.
