This means that when you visit our page, in principle no personal data is passed on to the providers of the social media platform. You can identify the provider of the social media platform by the marking on the box over their first letter, logo or a link. Only if you click on the marked field and activate it does the social media platform provider receive the information that you have called up the corresponding website of our online offer. In addition, the data stated under the section “COLLECTION OF PERSONAL DATA WHEN VISITING OUR WEBSITE” of this declaration is transmitted. In the case of Facebook, according to the statement by the provider in Germany the IP address is anonymized immediately. Through the activation of the link, personal data from you is therefore transmitted to the respective provider and stored there (in the case of American providers, in the USA). As the provider undertakes the collection of data especially through cookies, we recommend that you delete all cookies through the security settings of your browser before clicking on the grey box.

You have the right to object to the compiling of these user profiles, whereby you must contact the respective third-party provider to exert this right. Through the third-party provider, we offer you the possibility to interact with social networks and other users, so we can improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user.

If you click the activated button and e.g. link the page, the plug-in provider also stores this information in your user account and informs your contacts publicly. We recommend that you regularly log out after using a social network, especially before activating the button, so that you can avoid attribution to your profile at the plug-in provider.
