Our website uses social plugins (“plugins”) of the social network facebook.com, which is operated by Facebook Inc, 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”). The plugins can be recognized by one of the Facebook logos (white “f” on blue tile or a “thumbs up” sign) or are marked with the addition “Facebook Social Plugin”. The list and appearance of the Facebook Social Plugins can be viewed here: developers.facebook.com/plugins.

If you call up a website of our Internet presence that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection with the Facebook servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted by Facebook directly to your browser and integrated by it into the website. We therefore have no influence on the extent of the data that Facebook collects with the help of this plugin and therefore inform you according to our state of knowledge:

By integrating the plugins, Facebook receives the information that you have called up the corresponding page of our website. If you are logged in to Facebook, Facebook can assign the visit to your Facebook account. If you interact with the plugins, for example, by clicking the Like button or making a comment, the corresponding information is transmitted directly from your browser to Facebook and stored there. If you are not a member of Facebook, there is still the possibility that Facebook will find out and save your IP address.
The purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of data by Facebook, as well as your rights and settings options for protecting your privacy, can be found in Facebook’s privacy policy: www.facebook.com/policy.php.

If you are a Facebook member and do not want Facebook to collect data about you via our website and link it with your membership data stored on Facebook, you must log out of Facebook before visiting our website.
It is also possible to block Facebook social plugins with add-ons for your browser, for example with the ” Facebook Blocker”.

Our website uses the “Tweet? button of the social network Twitter, which is operated by Twitter Inc, 750 Folsom Street, Suite 600, San Francisco, CA 94107, United States (“Twitter”). The button is on the dark blue bird and the word “Tweet? on a light blue background.

When you call up a web page of our website that contains such a button, your browser establishes a direct connection with the servers of Twitter. The content of the “Tweet” button is transmitted by Twitter directly to your browser, which incorporates it into your Twitter message. We therefore have no influence on the extent of the data that Twitter collects with the button, but we assume that your IP address is also recorded.
