Use of Social Media Plug-Ins

This website uses plugins that allow users to communicate with social media platforms. To protect the privacy of the user, however, the Shariff plugin prevents the scripts of the social media platforms from being executed when the page is loaded, but only activates it when the user explicitly clicks on the corresponding button. This applies to all social media plugins with the exception of the direct integration of Twitter content on the “Latest News” page. Furthermore, this website only initiates data exchange between the user’s browser and social media platforms if the user initiates this data exchange themselves. The user can find information about the collection and use of the data in the social networks in the respective terms of use of the respective provider (http://www.heise.de/ct/artikel/Shariff-Social-Media-Buttons-mit-Datenschutz-2467514.html).

We have integrated the social media buttons of the following companies on our website:

  • LinkedIn Corporation (2029 Stierlin Court – Mountain View – CA 94043 – USA/ Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland)

Facebook

Purpose, legal basis of data processing and legitimate interest
This website uses social plugins (“plugins”) of the social network facebook.com, the plugins are recognisable by one of the Facebook logos (grey “f” on dark blue tile with the addition “share”).

Only when a user clicks on such a plugin, their browser establishes a direct connection to the Facebook servers. The provider has no influence on the amount of data Facebook collects with the help of this plugin and therefore informs users according to it’s level of knowledge:

By activating the plugin, Facebook receives information that a user has called up the corresponding page of the offer, the date of the visit and some information in connection with the browser used. If the user is logged into Facebook, Facebook can assign the visit to the users Facebook account. Every interaction with the plugin, for example the sharing of a post, causes the corresponding information from the user’s browser to be transmitted directly to Facebook and stored there. If the user is not a member of Facebook, it is still possible for Facebook to obtain and store the user’s IP address. According to Facebook, only an anonymised IP address is stored in Germany.

If a user is a Facebook member and does not want Facebook to use this offer to collect data about him or her and link it to his or her membership data stored on Facebook, he or she may not press the button of the social media plugin. Further settings and objections to the use of data for advertising purposes can be made within the Facebook profile settings: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads.

Facebook uses the “Facebook Insight” function on the fan page we use. This function is an indispensable part of our user relationship. This allows Facebook to receive anonymised statistical data of users. The data is collected using cookies, each of which contains a unique user code that is active for two years. Facebook collects and processes the user code on the fan page.

The purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook as well as the relevant rights and setting options for the protection of users’ privacy can be found in Facebook’s data protection information: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.

With the help of the website elements it is possible, for example, to share a contribution or page of this offer on Twitter or to follow the provider on Twitter. The Twitter plugin can be recognised by the grey Twitter logo on light blue tile with the addition “tweet”. As further contents individual tweets can be merged into the website.

When the user calls up a subpage on which Twitter content is integrated, the browser establishes a direct connection to the Twitter servers. On all other areas of the website, the plugin is not activated until the user clicks on it.

The provider has no influence on the amount of data Twitter collects with the help of the website elements and informs users according to their level of knowledge. After this, only the IP address of the user as well as the URL of the respective website is transmitted when using the button, but is not used for purposes other than the presentation of the website element.
