Our website uses so-called social plugins (“plugins”) of the social networks facebook.com (“Facebook”), plus.google.com (“Google+”), and the microblogging service twitter.com (“Twitter”).
Facebook is a social network operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”). The plugins are marked with a Facebook logo or the addition “Social Plugin from Facebook” or “Facebook Social Plugin”. An overview of the Facebook plugins and their appearance can be found here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins
When you access a page of our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to Facebook’s servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted by Facebook directly to your browser and integrated into the page. Through this integration, Facebook receives the information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a Facebook profile or are not currently logged in to Facebook. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted directly from your browser to a Facebook server in the USA and stored there.
If you are logged in to Facebook, Facebook can directly associate your visit to our website with your Facebook profile. If you interact with the plugins, for example by clicking the “Like” button or posting a comment, this information is also transmitted directly to a Facebook server and stored there. The information is also published on your Facebook profile and displayed to your Facebook friends.
The purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook, as well as your rights and settings options to protect your privacy, can be found in Facebook’s privacy policy at http://de-de.facebook.com/privacy/explanation.php
If you do not want Facebook to directly associate the data collected via our website with your Facebook profile, you must log out of Facebook before visiting our website. You can also completely prevent the loading of Facebook plugins by using add-ons for your browser, e.g. the “Facebook Blocker” (http://webgraph.com/resources/facebookblocker/).
