(4) the sub-sites, which can be accessed via an accessing system on our Website can be triggered,

Using this general data and information Abiomed Europe GmbH doesn´t draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed
(3) the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our web-site
as well as to warrant
(4) to provide law enforcement authorities in the event of a cyber attack with the information required

The legal basis for processing the data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for the purpose of its collection or legal requirements.
Google also has a legitimate interest in the collected (personal) Data to optimize its own services.
We have concluded a data processing addendum with Google in order to implement the strict require-ments of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.
We use the Google Tag Manager on our website. The Google Tag Manager is a service of Google Inc. ("Google"), 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA. 94043, USA.
Through the Google Tag Manager we can arrange various codes and services in a structured and simpli-fied way on our website. The Google Tag Manager implements the tags or "triggers" the tags. When a tag is triggered, Google may process information (including personal data). It cannot be excluded that Google also transmits the information to a server in a third country.
In particular, the following personal information is provided by the Google Tag Manager:
_ online markings (including cookie identifiers)
You'll also find more detailed information about the Google Tag Manager on the websites https://www.google.com/tagmanager/use-policy.html and under https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/index.html under the section »Data, we receive from your use of our services.«.
By integrating the Google Tag Manager we follow the purpose of a simplified and easy integration of various services. In addition, the integration of the Google Tag Manager optimizes the loading times of different services. Our legitimate interest in doing so is due to the great benefit of integrating various services through Google Tag Manager. By integrating the Google Tag Manager we reduce our maintenance and the loading of the website as well as the server and traffic load.
The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for the purpose of its collection or legal requirements.
We have signed a privacy addendum with Google for the use of the Google Tag Manager (Art. 28 GDPR). Google processes the data in our behalf to trigger the deposited tags and the services on our website. Google may transfer this information to third parties, if this is required by law or if third parties have commissioned this data on behalf of Google.
If you have deactivated individual tracking services (e.g. by setting an opt-out cookie), the deactivation remains for all affected tracking tags that are included by the Google Tag Manager.
You have the right to object. You have the option to stop sending all Google Tag Manager tags. All you need to do is click this opt-out link to place the Google Tag Manager deactivation cookie in your browser.
However, we point out that deactivation may mean that you cannot or do not use our website in whole.
Google is certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield. A current certificate can be viewed at https://www.privacyshield.gov/list. The EU-US Privacy Shield is an informal agreement in the field of data protection law, which was nego-tiated between 2015 and 2016 between the European Union and the United States of America. It con-sists of a series of assurances from the US Federal Government and a decision by the European Com-mission. The Commission had decided on 12 July 2016 that the Privacy Shield requirements would be in line with the data protection level of the European Union; since then, the Convention can be applied.
We use YouTube videos and YouTube plug-ins on our website. YouTube is a service of YouTube LLC ("YouTube"), 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. YouTube LLC is a subsidiary of Google Inc. ("Google"), 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
The integration of YouTube is done by embedding the service on our website via a so-called "iframe". When loading this iFrame, it cannot be excluded that YouTube or Google provide this information to a server in a third country. Abiomed Europe GmbH itself does not collect data when you watch a YouTube video on its website. By integrating YouTube, we have the purpose to present you with various videos on our website so you have the opportunity to watch them directly.
Our legitimate interest in this is the great benefit that offered by YouTube. By integrating external vide-os we relieve our servers and can use the corresponding resources elsewhere. Among other things, this can increase the stability of our servers.
YouTube/Google also have a legitimate interest in the collected (personal) data to optimize their own services.
You have the right to object. You can send or inform us of your objection at any time using the contact data mentioned above.
The provision of personal data is neither legal nor contractual. You are also not obliged to provide the personal data. Failure to provide the personal data however can cause that you may not or may not be able to access all website services in whole.
Further information can be found in the data protection declarations of YouTube and Google, which you can download here: www.google.com/policies/privacy/. For Google's privacy settings, see https://privacy.google.com/take-control.html?categories_activeEl=sign-in.
However, we may use service providers for the operation of this website or for other products or ser-vices. In this cases it might happen that a service provider receives knowledge of personal data. We carefully select our service providers - in particular with regard to data protection and data security - and take all data protection measures necessary for lawful processing of data under the relevant data protection laws.
7. Data processing outside the European Union/European Economic Area
If personal data is processed outside the European Union, you can see this from the previous com-ments.

You also have the right to correct, delete or limit processing to the extent permitted by law. Finally, you have the right to object to the processing within the scope of the legal requirements.
