6.1 Social media links
We have our own social media pages with the third-party providers that can be reached via links from this website. Using the links will take you to the respective websites of the third party providers (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram). To avoid unnecessary data transfer, we recommend logging out of the respective third-party provider before using a corresponding link, so that usage profiles cannot be created by the third-party provider by using the link.

6.2 Use of Facebook plugins
This website uses plugins from the social network www.facebook.com, which is operated by Facebook Inc. 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”). The body responsible for processing the information collected by Facebook is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbor, Dublin 2, Ireland.
If you access our website with such a plugin, a connection will be established to the Facebook servers and activated the plug-in by notifying your browser on the website. This transmits to the Facebook server which of our websites you have visited. If you are logged in as a member of Facebook, Facebook will assign this information to your personal Facebook user account. When using the plugin functions (e.g. clicking the “Like” button, submitting a comment), this information is also assigned to your Facebook account, which you can only prevent by logging out before activating the plugin.

The legal basis for the processing of your data by the plugin is the consent you have given in accordance with Art. 6 I S.1 a GDPR. You can revoke this consent at any time. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

6.3 Use of Google ReCAPTCHA
This website uses the reCAPTCHA service from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”). The function is used to distinguish whether the input is made by a human or improperly by automated, machine processing. The query includes sending the IP address and any other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service to Google. For this purpose, your input will be transmitted to Google and used there. However, your IP address will be shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. The full IP address is only transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there in exceptional cases. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of reCaptcha will not be merged with other Google data. The processing thus serves to avoid misuse of this website and is ultimately carried out anonymously, which means that there are no overriding interests on your part to prevent processing (Art. 6 I S. 1 f GDPR). Google’s data protection guidelines apply, which can be found at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

This does not affect the interests of the users that outweigh this technical necessity (Art. 6 I S. 1 f GDPR).
