3. PLUG-INS, SOCIAL MEDIA AND APIS

3.1 PLUG-INS, SOCIAL MEDIA AND APIS
We provide you with social media functionalities of the following social networks:

  • Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA,
  • Instagram Inc., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA

When you press on the relevant social network icons, you will be linked to the relevant social network to perform the selected functionality, e.g. to share a content on Facebook. To do this, however, you must log in to your corresponding user account or already be logged in.

If you select one of the functionalities provided and click on the symbol of the social network concerned, a direct connection is established between your browser and the server of the social network concerned. This provides the network with the information that you have visited our website with your IP address and called up the link. If you call up a link to a network while you are logged into your account with the network concerned, the content of our site may be linked to your profile with the network, which means that the network can assign your visit to our website directly to your user account. If you would like to prevent this, you should log out before clicking on the corresponding links. An assignment will take place in any case if you log in to the relevant network after clicking on the link.

3.2 LINK TO OUR OWN SOCIAL MEDIA PRESENCE
On our website we have included links to our social media profiles on the following social networks:

  • Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA,
  • Instagram Inc., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA

If you press on the relevant social network icons, you will automatically be redirected to our profile at the relevant network. In order to use the functions of the relevant network there, you must partially log in to your user account with the relevant network.

If you select one of the functionalities provided and click on the symbol of the social network concerned, a direct connection is established between your browser and the server of the social network concerned. This provides the network with the information that you have visited our website with your IP address and called up the link. If you call up a link to a network while you are logged into your account with the network concerned, the content of our site may be linked to your profile with the network, which means that the network can assign your visit to our website directly to your user account. If you would like to prevent this, you should log out before clicking on the corresponding links.

3.3 YOUTUBE PLUGIN
On our website, we integrate plugins of the video portal YouTube of YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA ("YouTube"). YouTube is a subsidiary of Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Each time you access a page that offers one or more YouTube video clips, a direct connection is established between your browser and a YouTube server in the USA. In the process, information about your visit and your IP address is stored. By interacting with the YouTube plugins (e.g. clicking the start button), this information is also transmitted to YouTube and stored by YouTube.

For more information on the collection and use of your data by YouTube, please refer to the privacy policy of YouTube or Google: https://policies.google.com/privacy.
The legal basis for processing the data for this purpose is our legitimate interest according to Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO.

If you have a YouTube user account and do not want YouTube to collect data about you via this website and link it to your membership data stored with YouTube, you must log out of YouTube before visiting this website.

In addition, YouTube calls up the Google Analytics analysis tool via an iFrame in which the video is called up. This is YouTube's own tracking, to which we have no access. You can prevent tracking by Google Analytics by using the deactivation tools that Google offers for some internet browsers.

3.4 GOOGLE MAPS
We use Google Maps API (Application Programming Interface, "Google Maps") from Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, on our website for the visual display of geographical information (maps). By using Google Maps, information about the use of our website, including your IP address, is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

The legal basis for processing the data for this purpose is our legitimate interest according to Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO.
It is possible to deactivate the Google Maps service and prevent the transfer of data to Google if you deactivate JavaScript in your browser. However, we would like to point out that in this case you will not be able to use the map display.

You can find more information about the collection, processing and use of your data by Google, as well as your rights in this respect, in Google's data protection declaration at https://policies.google.com/privacyas well as in the additional terms of use for Google Maps and Google Earth under https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/help/terms_maps/.
