Use of social plugins:
On the basis of our rightful interests (i.e., interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online service as defined in Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f. GDPR), we use social plugins ("plugins") from the social network facebook.com, which is operated by Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Facebook"). The plugins may display interaction elements or content (e.g., videos, graphics or text contributions) and are recognizable by one of the Facebook logos (a white "f" on a blue tile, the term "like", a "thumbs up" sign) or are marked with "Facebook Social Plugin". The list and appearance of the Facebook social plugins can be seen here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/. When users call up a function of this online service that contains such a plugin, their device establishes a direct connection with Facebook's servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted directly from Facebook to the user's device and embedded into the online offer. Usage profiles can be created from the processed data. We therefore have no influence on the extent of the data that Facebook collects with the help of this plugin, but we inform the user of everything we know in this regard. By integrating the plugins, Facebook receives the information that a user has retrieved the corresponding page of the online offer. If the user is logged in to Facebook, Facebook can assign the visit to his Facebook account. When users interact with the plugins, e.g., by clicking the like button or commenting, the corresponding information is transferred directly from their devices to Facebook and stored there. If a user is not a member of Facebook, it is still possible for Facebook to come to know and store their IP address. According to Facebook, only an anonymized IP address is stored in Germany. The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook as well as the related rights and settings for protecting the privacy of users can be found in Facebook's data-protection information: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/. If a user is a Facebook member and does not want Facebook to collect information about him or her via this online service and link it to his or her Facebook member data, he or she must log out of Facebook and delete browser cookies before using our online service. Further settings and objection options to the use of data for advertising purposes are possible in the Facebook profile settings (https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads) or via the US site https://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU site https://www.youronlinechoices.com/. The settings are platform independent, i.e., they are adopted for all devices, such as desktop computers or mobile devices.
