Social plug-ins from Facebook

We use social plug-ins from facebook.com, operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA. As default, the Facebook plug-in is switched off. In order to activate it, e.g. to like a post or to leave a comment you need to activate the switch. The plug-ins can be recognized by way of the Facebook logo or the supplement “Facebook Social Plug-in”. Only if activated, a click on the “Like” button or leave a comment, transmits the relevant information directly from your browser to Facebook where it is stored. Furthermore, Facebook makes your likes public for your Facebook friends. If you are logged into Facebook, it can assign the invocation of our page directly to your Facebook account. When the Facebook plug-in is activated, even if you are not logged in or don’t have a Facebook account, your browser sends information (e.g. which web pages you have called up, your IP address) which is then stored by Facebook. For details about handling of your personal data by Facebook and your related rights, please refer to the data privacy policy of Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/policy.php. If you do not want Facebook to map data collected about you via our web sites to your Facebook account, you must log out of Facebook before you visit our web pages.

As default, the twitter and its retweet function is switched off. If you want to retweet from our web sites, you need to activate the twitter plug-in first.
