YouTube's 'extended data protection mode'
We want to offer you a wide variety of information in a broad, multimedia-based way. We therefore provide videos on YouTube (YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Avenue, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA). The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR.
These videos are made available through YouTube’s extended data protection mode. According to the information provided by YouTube, in the extended data protection mode, no data will be transmitted to the YouTube servers, unless you press the Play button.
As YouTube’s operational entity, Google is solely responsible for this data processing. You can find more information in Google’s privacy policy:

When we use your personal data for our legitimate interests, we always conduct a balancing test in order to ensure that data subject rights are not overridden.
Finally, when we have access to personal data on behalf of our customers, in our role as data processors, there is always a written contract regulating the service, including specific instructions for the data processing and safeguards.

Henry Schein applies the storage limitation principle in order to retain personal data in our records only for the length of time required to fulfill the purpose for which the data was collected. We do not keep personal data for longer than is necessary, and what is necessary depends on specific circumstances such as regulations requiring to retain information for a certain period of time and limitation periods of legal claims. The retention period depends on the context in which we process data such as data from use of our website, data from prospective employees, or employee data after employee has left the company. The retention periods are established considering Henry Schein’s legitimate business purposes and according to local regulations.

At times, Henry Schein engages third party contractors, service providers, and other vendors to help us accomplish our business objectives. There are other circumstances where we are required by law to disclose personal data to third parties such as public bodies or judicial authorities. We engage with third party contractors, service providers and other vendors for the following services: technical support, direct deliveries, treatment of lease applications and marketing purposes. If the engagement involves the transmission of personal data, Henry Schein requires the service provider to treat that data consistent with this Policy. A contract to protect the personal data will be executed before any data is disclosed. In certain circumstances, Henry Schein may be required to disclose personal information when required by law, when required to protect our legal rights, or in an emergency situation where the health or security of an individual is endangered. We may also disclose personal data in the context of any sale or transaction involving all or a portion of the business.

Henry Schein is committed to the security, confidentiality and integrity principle. We take commercially reasonable precautions to keep all information obtained from our online visitors secure against unauthorized access and use and we periodically review our security measures. We are committed to processing your data in a secure manner and have put in place specific technical and organizational measures to prevent the personal data we hold from being accidentally or deliberately compromised. Henry Schein uses VeriSign for its sites security certificates. Please be aware that these protection tools do not protect information that is not collected through our website, such as information provided to us by e-mail. We also conduct information risk assessments, we ensure that our staff understands the importance of protecting personal data, and we are responsibly managing access rights within the company. We include both physical security and IT security in our overall data security approach. We are diligent in selecting vendors that process personal data on our behalf so that they also ensure appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the data. Henry Schein makes reasonable efforts to notify individuals and regulatory authorities, as required by law, if we reasonably believe that personal information has been stolen, disclosed, altered or infringed by an unauthorized person. We create and maintain a breach notification and reporting protocol. We also endorse the concept of privacy by design which is an approach to projects that promotes privacy and data protection compliance from the outset. This means considering the privacy and security implications for any new project or process throughout its lifecycle.
