Integration of Third Parties’ services and contents

It may occur that third-party contents, such as YouTube videos, card material from Google Maps, RSS feeds or graphics from other websites, are integrated into this online offer. This presupposes that the content providers (hereinafter referred to as “third-party providers”) seize the users’ IP address because they cannot send the contents to the browser of the respective user without their IP address. The IP address is therefore required to display these contents. We endeavor to integrate only contents whose respective providers use the IP address only to deliver the contents. We have, however, no possibility to influence matters, if, for example, the third-party providers store the IP address for statistical purposes. In the following, will inform you about it as far as it is known to us.
