If you register as an international student, teacher or location member at an EmS location abroad (EmS Abroad), you will be redirected to the relevant Google forms to enter your personal data.

We use the Google Maps map service on our website, a map service provided by Google Inc., Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). When you visit a page that contains Google Maps, your browser establishes a direct connection to Google’s servers. The map content is transmitted directly from Google to your browser and integrated into the website via a so-called iFrame. If you do not want Google to collect, process or use data about you via our website, you can deactivate JavaScript in your browser settings. In this case, however, you will not be able to use the map display. Further information on data processing by Google can be found in Google’s privacy policy.

Video clips from the YouTube video portal are embedded on our website. YouTube is a portal of YouTube, LLC, a subsidiary of Google Inc.

For data protection reasons, we have decided not to embed the video clips directly into our site, but to deactivate them by default. When you visit our site, no data is therefore transmitted to Google. You will therefore only see a preview image of the video clip on our website. To play the video clip, you must activate it by clicking on the preview image. By clicking, you consent to the transfer of data to YouTube. The legal basis for the processing of your data is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a, 49 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Only after this activation will a connection to Google’s servers be established and data transmitted to Google. In this respect, your personal data will be transferred to entities in a third country (outside the European Economic Area), although no level of data protection comparable to that under EU law is guaranteed in this respect. Therefore, compliance with the data protection principles of Union law is not guaranteed. We have no influence on the scope of the data collected in this respect.

For more info on the purpose and scope of data collection, as well as further processing and use of the data by Google, your rights in this regard, and settings options for protecting your privacy, please check out Google’s privacy policy at: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.
