Cookies can basically be divided into two categories:
Transient cookies are automatically deleted when you close the browser. These include in particular the session cookies. These store a so-called session ID, with which various requests of your browser can be assigned to the common session. This enables your computer to be recognised when you return to the website. The session cookies are deleted when you log out or close your browser.
Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a specified period of time, which may differ depending on the cookie. You can delete the cookies in the security settings of your browser at any time.
You can configure your browser settings according to your preferences and, for example, refuse to accept third-party cookies or all cookies. However, we would like to point out that you may then not be able to use all the functions of this website.
Integrated services
For the design of our websites and the provision of additional functions, we integrate the following external services in our own interest.
All services can be deactivated by using special plugins for your browser or, more concretely, the necessary connection to the corresponding servers is prevented. Please note, however, that the use of such tools could be associated with losses in the known everyday comfort, because many things no longer work as you would normally expect.
Google Web Fonts
Google Web Fonts are implemented on our websites. These are responsible for the display of fonts. By using Google Web Fonts, a Google server in the USA is called up and your IP address is transmitted to Google. If you are logged in to Google with an existing user account while visiting our website, Google may also be able to associate your visit to our website with your user behaviour. We have no influence on this procedure and do not receive any information from Google about the transmitted content. If you do not wish to be associated with your Google profile, you must log out of Google before visiting our website again.

The provider of YouTube in Germany is Google Ireland Limited. Insofar as the data you submit via our YouTube channel is processed exclusively by YouTube/Google Ireland and YouTube/Google Ireland alone decides on the purposes and means of the processing, the data controller is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Insofar as the data you submit via our YouTube channel is processed by us and YouTube/Google Ireland and we are involved in the decision on the purposes and means of the processing, we and YouTube/Google Ireland are jointly responsible for the data processing within the meaning of Section 28 KDG.
Data processing by Google Ireland
Each time you access our YouTube channel (via the link provided on our website or by other means) on the YouTube websites, personal data is processed by YouTube/Google. Information on the processing of personal data by YouTube/Google can be found in Google’s data policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de&gl=de. We have no knowledge beyond this information from Google of the extent to which, for what purposes, for how long and at what location data is processed by YouTube/Google, whether and how YouTube/Google fulfils its obligation to delete data, to whom data is disclosed, how data is merged, analysed and marketed by YouTube/Google with other data and information and whether and to what extent profiling is carried out by YouTube/Google.
In addition, each time you access our YouTube channel (via the link provided on our website or by other means), cookies are set on the YouTube websites by YouTube/Google. Companies and institutions may integrate Google technologies and products into their websites and apps (e.g. social plugins, Google Analytics, Google Maps). When you visit websites or use apps provided by companies and institutions that use such Google technologies/products, Google will also use cookies in the process. This enables Google to track and analyse your user behaviour far beyond YouTube and Google websites. For more information on the use of cookies by YouTube/Google, please see Google’s cookie policy at: https://policies.google.com/technologies/cookies?hl=de&gl=de. You can individually define in your browser settings whether and which cookies may be stored and when they are deleted. At this point we would like to point out that visiting our YouTube channel is also possible if your browser blocks cookies.
The processing of personal data and the setting of cookies by Google occurs regardless of whether you are logged into your YouTube or Google user account or whether you have one at all. If you are logged into your YouTube or Google user account, you enable Google to assign your user behaviour directly to your personal profile across devices. According to the company, you can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube/Google user account. The provider of YouTube in Germany is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. The parent company of YouTube is Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, California 94043. Personal data and other information is transferred by Google to countries in the EU and also to the USA and other third countries – where a lower level of data protection than in the EU may apply – and processed there by Google and its partners.
In addition to the YouTube/Google Data and Cookie Policy set forth above, your and our use of YouTube is governed by the Terms of Use (https://www.youtube.com/static?template=terms), the Community Guidelines (https://www.youtube.com/intl/de/about/policies/#community-guidelines), and the Other Security and Copyright Policies and Notices (https://support.google.com/youtube/topic/9223153). We have no influence on the processing of your data by YouTube/Google and on Google’s compliance with the applicable data protection regulations.
Data processing by the Caritasverband Geldern-Kevelaer e.V.
Please check carefully what personal data you submit to us via YouTube. If you would like to avoid that YouTube/Google processes data transmitted by you, please contact us by other means. You can find our contact details above under point 1 of this declaration or in the imprint.
The purpose of the data processing by us is the information about current offers, promotions, factual topics and company news and the professional and content interaction with visitors to our YouTube presence on these topics, as well as the response to corresponding queries, praise and criticism. We offer you the opportunity to comment on, share, “like” or “dislike” or save our videos and posts. Your contributions can be accessed by anyone worldwide on the Internet.
We process personal data when you contact us via our YouTube channel, for example by commenting on a post. If you contact us via our YouTube channel, we will process the content of your message as well as any other personal data transmitted in the process. Please note that in addition to the data and content actively transmitted by you, we may also have access to further information about your user profile, your posts and, for example, “Like” comments. Access to this information depends on the privacy settings you have made in your YouTube user account. YouTube/Google explains how you can review and change your privacy and data protection settings here: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/9315727?hl=de&ref_topic=9386940, https://support.google.com/policies/answer/9581826?p=privpol_privts&hl=de&visit_id=637217551183067910-377434558&rd=1.
The data will be used by us strictly for the purpose of communicating with you or to process your request. The legal basis for this data processing is § 6 para. 1 lit. g KDG. Our legitimate interest, which is outweighed by our interests, is to communicate with you and to respond to your inquiries and other requests. Insofar as we are able to do so, and insofar as we have also processed the data outside of YouTube (e.g. by sending you an email), the data you have actively communicated to us will be deleted by us when the purpose for processing no longer applies, i.e. specifically after the contact with you has finally ended. This does not apply to data stored by the system of YouTube/Google as part of our communication; we have no influence on the deletion of this data.

Data processing by the Caritasverband Geldern-Kevelaer e.V. and Google Ireland (Statistics)
As mentioned above, we and YouTube are jointly responsible for data processing within the meaning of Section 28 KDG in the context of the creation and use of statistics or “YouTube Analytics”. “YouTube Analytics” are analyses in statistical form provided by YouTube/Google for the operators of YouTube channels, which contain evaluations of which persons (groups) interact in which way with the respective YouTube channel and the content contained therein.
“YouTube Analytics” show us, for example, the reach of our YouTube channel, how users interact with our posts (view, comment, subscribe) and demographic data (e.g. age, gender, location) of visitors, as well as the number of views of our videos. YouTube/Google uses certain events – e.g. watching or commenting on one of our videos or subscribing to our channel – and the personal data collected when interacting with our YouTube channel, which are logged by Google servers, to create “YouTube Analytics” statistics.
Our joint responsibility with YouTube/Google includes the collection and aggregation of data for “YouTube Analytics” statistics for our YouTube channel, which are provided to us by YouTube/Google. The legal basis for this data processing on our side is Section 6 (1) lit. g KDG. The processing of the data serves to protect our legitimate interests in optimising our external presentation and communication via our YouTube channel, which are overriding in the context of a balancing of interests and which are made possible for us by “YouTube Analytics”.
Further information on “YouTube Analytics” can be found at https://support.google.com/youtube/topic/9257532?hl=de&ref_topic=9257610. With regard to statistics and “YouTube Analytics”, we have no knowledge beyond the information given above of the extent to which, for what purposes, for how long and at what location data is stored by YouTube/Google, whether and how YouTube/Google fulfils its obligation to delete data, to whom data is passed on and how data is merged, analysed and marketed by YouTube/Google with other data and information and whether and to what extent profiling is carried out by YouTube/Google.

Right of objection and revocation
If you have given your consent to the processing of your data, you may revoke this consent at any time. Such a revocation affects the permissibility of the processing of your personal data after you have expressed it to us.
You also have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data relating to you pursuant to Section 6 (1) (f) or (g) KDG for reasons arising from your particular situation; this also applies to the processing of personal data in the context of profiling (see Section 23 KDG). This is the case if the processing is not necessary, in particular, for the performance of a contract with you, which is addressed by us in each case in the explanation of the individual data processing and functions on our websites further up in this privacy policy. When exercising such an objection, we will ask you to explain the reasons why we should not process your personal data as we have done. In the event of your justified objection, we will review the situation and either discontinue or adapt the data processing or show you our compelling legitimate grounds on the basis of which we will continue the processing.

Data security
We also use technical and organizational security measures to protect personal data that we receive or collect, in particular against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or against attack by unauthorized persons.

The transmission of your personal data is encrypted using SSL technology (https) to prevent access by unauthorised third parties.
Communication by e-mail
Our e-mail systems support encrypted communication via SSL technology (TLS 1.2 incl. PFS). The transmission of your e-mail can therefore be encrypted in principle.
