7. Inclusion of third-party services and contents
It is possible that this website includes contents from third parties, such as videos from YouTube, material from Google maps, RSS feeds or images from other websites. This always assumes that the suppliers of such contents (called “third supplier” hereinafter) will know the userʻs IP address, because without the IP address, they would be unable to transfer the contents to the respective userʻs browser. Consequently, the IP address is required for the representation of such contents. We attempt to use such content only from third suppliers who only use the IP address to transfer their content. However, we have no means of knowing whether a third supplier stores the IP address, e.g. for statistical purposes. Insofar as we know this, we will inform the users accordingly.
