7. Use of Social Media Plugins
Our website includes links to third-party websites, plug-ins and applications. Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow third parties to collect or share data about you. We do not control these third-party websites and are not responsible for their privacy statements. When you leave our website, we encourage you to read the privacy policy of every website you visit.
Our website may integrate with social networking services. You understand that we do not control such services and are not liable for the manner in which they operate. While we may provide you with the ability to use such services in connection with our Website, we are doing so merely as an accommodation and, like you, are relying upon those third-party services to operate properly and fairly.
You should be aware that information which you voluntarily include and transmit online in a publicly accessible blog, social network or otherwise online may be viewed and used by others. We are unable to control such uses of your information, and by using such services you assume the risk that the information provided by you may be viewed and used by third parties.
Specifically, some of our web pages include Facebook, and Google buttons. We now inform you about the individual social media plugins we use, as follows:
i) Facebook Plugin
We use the “Facebook-Button” Plugin on our web pages, which is developed by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (Facebook). You can use it to inform your friends whether you like our website, and to reference or share content. The plugin is indicated by the Facebook logo or by the addition of a “Like” label. Personal data can be transferred to Facebook via the plugin if you are logged in on that site.
When you visit our site, your data will be transmitted to Facebook to the same extent that it would be if you visited their website, even if you are not a registered user on Facebook and do not click a plugin on our pages. In this case, however, Facebook is not immediately able to make any direct personal reference by, for example, establishing your IP address. This would only be possible via information from your service provider.
Where applicable, the following data will be transmitted:
– IP address
– Your user ID, if you are registered and logged in to Facebook – Date and time of your visit
– Browser version and operating system you are using, and screen resolution – Visitor origins (Referrer), if you followed a link
– Installed plugins like Flash or Adobe Reader
– URL of our page on which the plugin is integrated.
If you are registered with Facebook, then their data protection regulations, which can be found at: https://www.facebook.com/privacy/explanation will also apply. This privacy policy also explains the precise purpose of the transmitted data.
ii) Google Review
We use the Google reviews plug-in‘s as developed by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”) on our web pages. This plugin is indicated by the Google logo.
By sending a request to the page containing the plugin, Google receives information about which website pages you have visited. If you are logged in to Google at this time, Google may associate the visit with your Google account. This transmission can also take place without interaction with the plugin, and it can only be avoided by logging out of Google before visiting the respective page. When interacting with a plugin, information is also transmitted directly to Google and stored there. You can prevent this data transfer by signing out of Google before executing such interactions.
Google plugins are designed to allow users to publish information worldwide and receive personalized content from Google and partners. In addition to information about which pages were visited, Google also stores information about the page that was viewed when clicking the Google review plugin. The results of these interactions, along with the Google profile name and profile photo, can be viewed in Google services (in search results, Google Profile, other websites, and ads).
Additional information about the purpose and scope of data collection further processing and use of the data by Google, as well as your rights in this regard and setting options for the protection of your privacy, can be found in the privacy policy relating to Google reviews at:
https://developers.google.com/web/buttons-policy . The data will be used in accordance with the general Google Privacy Policy, and more information can be found at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en . permitted by law.
