Use of social plug-ins

Facebook plug-ins (Like button & Share button)
This site uses social plug-ins (“plug-ins”) of the facebook.com social network operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”). The plug-ins can be recognised by one of the Facebook logos (a white “f” on a blue tile, the terms “Like” or a “thumbs up” icon) or are identified with the phrase “Facebook social plug-in”. The list and appearance of the Facebook social plug-ins can be viewed here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/.

When a user accesses a webpage on this site containing such a plug-in, their browser will establish a direct connection to Facebook's servers. The plug-in’s content will be transmitted directly from Facebook to your browser and integrated into the website. The provider therefore has no influence on the scope of the data that Facebook collects using this plug-in and is therefore informing users to the best of its knowledge:

Through the plug-ins’ integration, Facebook will be notified that a user has called up the corresponding page of the site. Facebook can assign users’ visits to their Facebook accounts if they are logged into Facebook. When users interact with the plug-ins, for example by clicking the “Like” button or leaving a comment, the corresponding information will be transmitted directly from your browser to Facebook and stored there. Facebook can still obtain and store a user’s IP address even if they are not Facebook users. Facebook states that only an anonymised IP address is stored in Germany.

The purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook as well as the relevant rights and settings options for the protection of users' privacy can be found in Facebook's privacy policy: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.

If a user is a Facebook user and does not want Facebook to use this website to collect data about them and link it to their membership data stored on Facebook, they should log out of Facebook before visiting the website.

Google+ (+1 button)
This website uses the “+1” button of the Google Plus social network operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States (“Google”). The button can be recognised by the sign “+1” on a white or coloured background.

When a user accesses a page on this website that contains such a button, their browser will establish a direct connection to Google's servers. The content of the “+1” button will be transmitted from Google directly to their browser and integrated into the website by the latter. The provider therefore has no influence over the scope of the data that Google collects with the button. Google states that personal information is only collected when the button is clicked. Such data, including IP addresses, among other things, can only be collected from logged-in members and processed.

The purpose and scope of data collection and Google’s further processing and use of the data as well as your relevant rights and settings options for the protection of your privacy can be found in Google's privacy policy on the “+1” button: https://www.google.com/intl/en/+/policy/+1button.html and the FAQ: https://plus.google.com/about?hl=en.

Twitter (Re-tweet button)
This website uses Twitter service buttons. These buttons are provided by Twitter Inc., 795 Folsom St., Suite 600, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA. They are recognisable by terms such as “Twitter” or “Follow”, combined with a stylised blue bird. These buttons can be used to share a post or page from this website on Twitter or to follow the provider on Twitter.

When a user accesses a page on this website that contains such a button, their browser will establish a direct connection to Twitter's servers. The Twitter buttons’ content will be transmitted directly from Twitter to the user's browser. The provider therefore has no influence on the amount of data Twitter collects using this plug-in and is therefore informing users to the best of its knowledge. Twitter states that only the user’s IP address and the URL of the respective web page will be transmitted when the buttons are clicked, but that these will not be used for purposes other than the representation of the buttons.

Further information can be found in Twitter’s privacy policy at https://twitter.com/privacy.

YouTube
This website also includes a plug-in from YouTube, part of Google Inc., located in San Bruno, California, USA.

In addition, if you are logged into your YouTube account, you will enable YouTube to directly associate your surfing behaviour with your personal profile. You can exclude this possibility of association by logging out of your account beforehand.

If you click the Instagram button while logged into your Instagram account, content from our page can be linked to your Instagram profile.
