As part of this collaboration, your browser will automatically contact the selected service provider when using the respective service (e.g. Facebook). For example, your IP address, cookies and other information will be transmitted to the respective service provider if you have previously visited its website. This data transfer only occurs when you interact with these social networks.
Our website integrates the share buttons of the following social networks: Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA ('Facebook'), Twitter Inc., 795 Folsom St., Suite 600, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA, Facebook, 1601 South California Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA, YouTube, from YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA, Instagram from Instagram Inc., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA, 94025, USA and GooglePlus, the social network of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States.

All share buttons are set up in compliance with data protection laws. A direct connection between your browser and the server of the operator of the respective social network is only (and only then) established when you click on the respective 'share button' on our website. According to the operators of the aforementioned social networks, no personal or company-related data is collected from the social networks without a click on the respective share button. Such data, including the IP address, is only collected and processed by logged in members. If you do not wish to assign the visit to our website to your respective social network user account, please log out of the user account of the respective social network.

The individual social media channels in detail:
Use of Facebook plug-ins
This website uses plug-ins (‘plug-ins’) of the social network facebook.com which is operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA ('Facebook') These are recognisable on one of the Facebook logos (white 'f' on a blue tile or a sign with 'thumbs up') or marked with the additional information 'Facebook social plug-in'.
When you access one of our websites with such a plug-in, a connection is made to the Facebook servers and the plug-in is displayed on the website through a notification on your browser. This will communicate which of our websites you have visited to the Facebook server. If you are logged in as a member of Facebook, Facebook assigns this information to your personal Facebook user account. When using the plug-in functions (e.g. by clicking the 'Like' button or submitting a comment) this information will also be assigned to your Facebook account. This can only be prevented insofar as you log out before using the plug-in.
Further information concerning the data collected and used by Facebook, your rights and options for protecting your privacy can be found in Facebook’s data protection policy. http://www.facebook.com/policy.php
It is also possible to block Facebook social plug-ins with add-ons for your browser.
Use of the '+1' button
This website uses the '+1' button on the Google Plus social network operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States ('Google'). The button is identifiable by the '+1' sign on a white or coloured background.
When you visit a web page on our online presence that contains a button like this, your browser establishes a direct connection to Google's servers. The content of the '+1' button will be sent by Google directly to your browser and incorporated into the website by Google. Therefore, we have no control over the scope of the data that Google collects from the button, but we assume that your IP address will be recorded.
For the purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Google, as well as your rights relating to this and settings options for protecting your privacy, please refer to Google's data protection policy concerning the '+1' button.http://www.google.com/intl/de/+/policy/+1button.html
If you are a Google Plus member and you do not want Google to collect data about you via our website and link it to your member data stored by Google, you must log out of Google Plus before visiting our website.
This website uses the buttons of the Twitter service. These buttons are provided by Twitter Inc., 795 Folsom St., Suite 600, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA. They are identifiable by terms such as 'Twitter' or 'follow', combined with a stylised blue bird. With the help of the buttons it is possible to share a post or a page of this website on Twitter or to follow the provider on Twitter.
When you visit one of our websites that contains a button like this, your browser makes a direct connection to the Twitter servers. The content of the Twitter buttons is transmitted by Twitter directly to your browser. We therefore have no control over the scope of the data that Twitter collects using this plug-in. To the best of our knowledge, only the IP address of the user is transmitted when the button is referenced, but not used for purposes other than to display the button.
Further information can be found in the privacy policy of Twitter at http://twitter.com/privacy.

YouTube
Our website uses the YouTube button of the social network YouTube, which is operated by YouTube LLC, with its main office at 901 Cherry Avenue, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA ('YouTube'). When you visit a web page on our online presence that contains a button like this, your browser establishes a direct connection to YouTube's servers.

Therefore, we have no control over the scope of the data YouTube collects from the button, but we assume that your IP address will be recorded.
