6. Social Media Plug-ins

We use social plugins from the social networks Facebook and Instagram on our website based on Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 lit. f GDPR to make our company better known through these networks. The advertising purpose behind this is to be considered a legitimate interest under the GDPR. The responsibility for data protection compliant operation must be ensured by their respective providers. The integration of these plugins by us is carried out using the so-called two-click method to best protect visitors to our website.

a) Facebook

We use social media plugins from Facebook on our website to make their use more personal. For this, we use the “LIKE” or “SHARE” button. This is an offer from Facebook.

When you access a page on our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to the Facebook servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted by Facebook directly to your browser and integrated into the website. By integrating the plugins, Facebook receives the information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page on our website, even if you do not have a Facebook account or are not currently logged in to Facebook. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted from your browser directly to a Facebook server in the USA and stored there.

If you are logged in to Facebook, Facebook can directly assign your visit to our website to your Facebook account. If you interact with the plugins, for example by pressing the “LIKE” or “SHARE” button, the corresponding information is also transmitted directly to a Facebook server and stored there. The information is also published on Facebook and shown to your Facebook friends.

Facebook can use this information for the purpose of advertising, market research, and demand-oriented design of Facebook pages. For this purpose, Facebook creates usage, interest, and relationship profiles, e.g., to evaluate your use of our website with regard to the ads displayed to you on Facebook, to inform other Facebook users about your activities on our website, and to provide other services associated with the use of Facebook.

If you do not want Facebook to assign the data collected via our website directly to your Facebook account, you must log out of Facebook before visiting our website.

For the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook, as well as your related rights and settings options for protecting your privacy, please refer to the Facebook privacy policy (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/).

b) Instagram

We also use social plugins (“plugins”) from Instagram on our website, which is operated by Instagram LLC., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA (“Instagram”).

The plugins are marked with an Instagram logo, for example in the form of an “Instagram camera”. When you access a page on our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to Instagram’s servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted by Instagram directly to your browser and integrated into the page. By integrating the plugins, Instagram receives the information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page on our website, even if you do not have an Instagram profile or are not currently logged in to Instagram.

This information (including your IP address) is transmitted from your browser directly to an Instagram server in the USA and stored there. If you are logged in to Instagram, Instagram can directly assign your visit to our website to your Instagram account. If you interact with the plugins, for example by pressing the “Instagram” button, this information is also transmitted directly to an Instagram server and stored there.

The information is also published on your Instagram account and shown to your contacts.

If you do not want Instagram to assign the data collected via our website directly to your Instagram account, you must log out of Instagram before visiting our website.

For more information, please refer to Instagram’s privacy policy (https://help.instagram.com/155833707900388).
