6. Social-Media-Plugins

We use so-called social media buttons (also social media plugins) on our website. These are small buttons that allow you to publish content from our website on social networks under your profile.

If you activate such a button, a connection will be established between our website and the social network. In addition to the relevant content, the operator of the social network receives further information, some of which may be personal. This includes the fact that you are currently visiting our site.

The integration of the social media buttons is done using the so-called Shariff solution. This solution prevents a connection to a social network from being established simply by visiting a page with a social media button without activating it. This means that information is only transmitted to the social network when you activate the button.

We integrate the following social plug-ins on our website:

a)    Facebook Ireland Limited: Sharing on Facebook

Information is partly transmitted to the parent company Facebook Inc., headquartered in the USA. This company complies with the data protection regulations of the U.S. Privacy Shield and is registered with the U.S. Privacy Shield Program of the U.S. Department of Commerce.
