1. We use the so-called 2-click solution. This means that when you visit our site, no personal data is initially passed on to the providers of these plug-ins. You can recognize the provider of the plug-in by the initial letter / symbol. Only if you click on one of the plug-ins, personal data will be transmitted: When the plug-in is activated, data is automatically transmitted to the respective plug-in provider and stored there (in the case of US providers in the USA). We have no influence on the collected data and data processing procedures, nor are we aware of the full extent of the data collection, the purposes or the storage periods. Since the plug-in provider collects data in particular via cookies, we recommend that you delete all cookies before clicking on the symbols via the security settings of your browser.

2. If you activate a plug-in, the plug-in provider receives the information that you have called up the corresponding subpage of our online offer. In addition, the data mentioned in section 4 of this statement will be transmitted, whereby in the case of Facebook only an anonymized IP is collected according to the information provided by the respective providers in Germany. This occurs regardless of whether you have an account with this plug-in provider and are logged in there. If you are logged in with the plug-in provider, this data is directly assigned to your account. If you click on the activated button and, for example, link to the page, the plug-in provider will also save this information in your user account and publicly communicate this to your contacts. If you don't want the plug-in provider to associate you with your profile, you must log out before activating the button.

3. The plug-in provider stores this data as a user profile and uses it for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or demand-oriented design of its website. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (also for users who are not logged in) for the purpose of displaying need-based advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact the respective plug-in provider to exercise this right.
