7. Social media plugins
Use of social plugins from Facebook, Twitter, Google, Instagram.
Our website contains "social buttons" from social media.
If you request a page of our website that contains such a plugin, your browser creates a direct connection to the servers of Facebook, Google, Twitter or Instagram. The content of the plugin is sent by the respective provider directly to your browser and integrated into the page. By integrating the plugin, the providers receive the information that your browser has requested the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a profile or happen to be logged in. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted by your browser directly to a server of the respective provider (possibly in the USA) and stored there. If you are logged in to one of the services, the providers can link the visit to our website 1:1 to your profile on the respective social network. If there is interaction between you and the plugin, for example, because you click the "like" or "share" button, this information is also transmitted directly to a server of the providers and stored there. The information is additionally made public in the social network and displayed there to your contacts. This serves to represent our legitimate interests for the optimal marketing of our offerings, which prevail when balancing the respective interests of the parties in accordance with Article 6, paragraph 1, sentence 1 under f AGV.
