Our website uses plugins from Google’s YouTube site. This website is operated by YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA.

YouTube stores your data as user profiles using them for advertising purposes, market research and/or the user-oriented design of its website. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (even if the user is not logged) for providing tailor-made advertising and to inform other users of social networks about your activities on our website. You are entitled to revoke the creation of such user profiles, however, exercising this right you have to contact YouTube directly.
The use of YouTube is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offers. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Server Log Files
The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are browser type and browser version, operating system used, referrer URL, host name of the accessing computer, time of the server request, amount of data sent and the anonymised IP address. Due to anonymisation, no personal reference can be made. The data collected is used solely for statistical evaluations, to improve the website and to identify errors with the website. However, LINGL reserves the right to check the server log files subsequently if there are concrete indications of an illegal use. This data from the server log files is not merged with other data sources. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
Google Web Fonts
This site uses so-called web fonts provided by Google for the uniform display of fonts. When calling up a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache allowing the correct display of texts and fonts.
To this end, the browser you are using must connect to the servers of Google. Thus, Google obtains the information that our website has been accessed via your IP address. Google web fonts are used in the interest of a uniform and appealing presentation of our online offers. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
If your browser does not support web fonts, a default font is used by your computer. Further information on Google web fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in the privacy police of Google: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.
Data Transmission on the Internet
We would like to point out that data transmission on the Internet may be subject to security gaps. The complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible. Even if both sender and recipient are located in the same country, information sent over the Internet may be sent across international borders to a country with a lower level of data protection than the country of residence. We assume no responsibility or liability for the security of the information during the transfer to LINGL via the Internet. If you consider it advisable to ensure the confidentiality of your data, you can also choose another way of communication with LINGL.
