b) By visiting the website, Google (Google Dublin, Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, Fax: +353 (1) 436 1001) receives information about which page or subpage of our website you have accessed. In addition, the data mentioned under § 3 of this declaration will be transmitted. This takes place regardless of whether Google provides a user account via which you are logged in or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly assigned to your account. If you do not wish to have your data associated with your Google profile, you must log out before accessing our site. Google stores data as user profiles and uses them for the purposes of advertising, market research and the needs-based design of its website. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to provide needs-based advertising and to inform other users of the social network about activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, and to exercise this right you should contact Google.

Google also processes your personal data in the USA and has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.

§ 5 Integration of social media

No social media plugins are set, but so-called social bookmarks. These are only integrated on this website as a link to the corresponding services. After clicking on the integrated graphic, the user is forwarded to the page of the respective provider. In addition, in the case of a forwarding of an internet page via the “Share this content” button, there is the possibility that the corresponding internet page becomes visible on Twitter, Facebook, etc. and can be seen there as activity in the respective profile of the user.

LinkedIn
Our website contains a “Share this content” button from LinkedIn. LinkedIn is a social network and online platform for professionals and executives. The privacy policy applies to all members and visitors of the respective services. Therefore, when you access this website, a connection is established via your browser to the servers of LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland.
LinkedIn will, according to its own information, store information about the content you have clicked on and information about your visit to the website. You can read the current information on data protection at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy.

The Wirtschaftsjunioren Berlin International e.V. does not collect or process any personal data via LinkedIn.

§ 6 Further services from third-party providers

Our website uses content, services and performances from third-party providers. These are, for example, tools for analysing user behaviour or the display of geographical maps or videos. In order for the services to be made available, it is mandatory that the IP address of your end device is transmitted to the third-party provider. However, we have no influence on whether the IP address may be stored. The third-party providers are listed below.

a) Map service from Google Maps
On our website, we use Google Maps (Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA) in various places to display maps and to create directions. By using this website, you consent to the collection, processing and use of automatically collected data and data provided by you by Google, one of its representatives or third parties.

For Google Maps, please see the Terms of Use under Terms of Use for Google Maps and the Privacy Policy under Privacy Policy at Google.
Google may transfer the information obtained through Google Maps to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf. It cannot be ruled out that Google will associate your IP address with other data held by Google. It is technically possible that Google could identify at least individual users on the basis of the data received. We have no influence on the fact that personal data and personality profiles of users of the website are processed by Google for other purposes. You have the option of deactivating the Google Maps service in a simple manner and thus preventing the transfer of data to Google.
To do this, deactivate JavaScript in your browser. However, we would like to point out that in this case you will not be able to use the map display.

b) Display of YouTube videos
On our website, we have integrated videos from the provider YouTube (YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Avenue, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA, represented by Google Inc. with headquarters at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA).

When you play the videos, a connection to a YouTube server is established. This transmits to YouTube which of our Internet pages you have visited.

If you are logged in to YouTube as a member, YouTube assigns this information to your personal user account. When you use the service, such as clicking on 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 YouTube user account and other user accounts of the companies YouTube LLC and YouTube LLC before using our website.
