Use of Vimeo
We use plug-ins from Vimeo Inc. (555 West 18th Street New York, New York 10011, USA; "Vimeo") on our website to integrate videos from the "Vimeo" portal. When you access pages of our website that have such a plug-in, a connection is established to the Vimeo servers and the plug-in is displayed on the page by notifying your browser. As a result, both your IP address and the information about which of our pages you have visited are transmitted to the Vimeo servers. If you are logged in to Vimeo, Vimeo assigns this information to your personal user account. When using the plug-in functions (e.g. by starting a video by pressing the corresponding button), this information is also assigned to your Vimeo account.
