Some of the processing of user data is carried out on Vimeo servers in the USA.

The legal basis is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the quality improvement of our website.

When you visit a page of our website where a video is embedded, a connection to the Vimeo servers in the USA is established to display the video. For technical reasons, it is necessary for Vimeo to process your IP address. In addition, the date and time of your visit to our website will be recorded.

If you are logged into Vimeo at the same time while visiting one of our web pages where a Vimeo video is embedded, Vimeo may assign the information collected in this way to your personal user account there. If you wish to prevent this, you must either log out of Vimeo before visiting our website or configure your Vimeo user account accordingly.

For functionality and usage analysis purposes, Vimeo uses the web analytics service Google Analytics. Through Google Analytics, cookies are stored on your device via your internet browser and information about the use of our web pages, where a Vimeo video is embedded, is sent to Google. It cannot be ruled out that Google processes this information in the USA.

If you do not agree with this processing, you have the option to prevent the installation of cookies by making the appropriate settings in your internet browser. You can find more details on this above under the heading "Cookies".

The legal basis is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the quality improvement of our website and in Vimeo's legitimate interest in statistically analyzing user behavior for optimization and marketing purposes.
