If our website needs to be updated or has to be adapted to new technology, it may become necessary to make amendments to this data protection policy. Steinbeis therefore reserves the right to amend its data protection policy whenever necessary in accordance with latest developments.

If you access a website page featuring a Vimeo plugin – for example if you visit our media library – a connection will be established to the servers of Vimeo.

This will even be the case if you are not logged in with Vimeo or do not have an account with Vimeo. The information gathered by Vimeo will be transferred to the Vimeo server in the United States.

If you are logged into a Vimeo account, you allow Vimeo to match your surfing activity to your personal profile. You can prevent this happening by logging out of your Vimeo account.
