12. External fonts (Google Fonts)

This site uses web fonts provided by Google for uniform typography. On page load, your browser loads the required web fonts into the cache. A connection is made to Google servers (fonts.googleapis.com / fonts.gstatic.com). Google thereby learns that our website was accessed via your IP address. Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. More info: https://policies.google.com/privacy.

13. Google Analytics 4

We use Google Analytics 4 on this site, a web analytics service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google").

14. Google Ads & Conversion Tracking

We use Google Ads and its conversion tracking and possibly remarketing features. Provider: Google Ireland Limited. A cookie is set if you reach our site via a Google ad. These cookies measure the success of our advertising and show you more relevant ads in search and display networks.

17. Embedded YouTube videos

Some pages of this website (in particular the portfolio) may include embedded YouTube videos. Provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. When a page with an embedded YouTube video is loaded, a connection to YouTube servers is established – but only when you actively start the video. If you are logged into your YouTube account, YouTube can directly associate your browsing behaviour with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

18. Contact and follow-up communication

When you contact us via the contact form, by email or by phone, we store your details (name, contact data, request text) to handle your request and any follow-up enquiries.

• call you back if you provided a phone number,
• send you relevant follow-up information about our services,
• inform you of particularly interesting campaigns or discounts.

If you do not wish further contact, an informal email to info@videoworkly.de is enough. We will then immediately remove your data from our active contact system and only store it within the framework of statutory retention periods (e.g. German HGB, AO).
