  • Use of social plug-ins from Facebook, Google+, Twitter and LinkedIn

Our website uses so-called social plugins ("Plugins") of the social networks Facebook, Google+, Twitter and LinkedIn. These services are provided by Facebook Inc, Google Inc, Twitter Inc. and LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company ("Providers"). Facebook is operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”). Google+ is operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). Twitter is operated by Twitter International Company, One Cumberland Place, Feninan Street, Dublin 2, D02 AX07, Ireland ("Twitter"). LinkedIn is operated by LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Place, Dublin, Ireland ("LinkedIn").  An overview of the plugins and what they look like can be found here:

Facebook: http://developers.facebook.com/plugins 
Google+: https://developers.google.com/+/plugins
Twitter: https://dev.twitter.com/web/tweet-button
LinkedIn: https://developer.linkedin.com/plugins#

When you visit a page of our website that contains one of these plugins, your browser establishes a direct connection to the Google, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn servers. The content of the plugin is sent directly to your browser by the respective Provider and incorporated into the page. By including the plugin the Providers receive information that your browser has accessed the relevant page on our website, even if you do not have a profile with the corresponding social network or are not logged in. This information (including your IP address) is sent directly from your browser to one of the respective providers’ servers in the USA or Ireland and stored there.

If you are logged in to one of the social networks, the providers can directly associate your visit to our website with your profile on Facebook, Google+, Twitter or LinkedIn. If you interact with the plugins, e.g. by pressing the “like” or “+1” button, the corresponding information is also sent directly to one of the providers’ servers and stored there. The information will also be published on the social network and be visible there to your friends.

For the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of data by the providers as well as your rights in this regard and settings options for protecting your privacy, please refer to the providers' privacy policies.

You can also completely prevent the plugins from loading with add-ons for your browser, e.g. the Facebook plugins with the "Facebook Blocker" (http://webgraph.com/resources/facebookblocker/)
