8. Einsatz von Social-Media-Plug-ins
   (1)We currently use the following social media plug-ins: Facebook, Xing, and LinkedIn. We use the so-called two-click solution. This means that when you visit our site, no personal data is initially passed on to the providers of the plug-ins. You can recognize the plug-in provider by marking the box above its initial letter or logo. We open up the possibility for you to communicate directly with the plug-in provider via the button. Only if you click on the marked box and thereby activate it the plug-in provider receive the information that you have accessed the corresponding website of our online offer. In addition, the data mentioned under § 3 of this declaration will be transmitted. According to the respective providers in Germany, the IP address is anonymized immediately after collection, in the case of Facebook and Xing. By activating the plug-in, personal data is transmitted from you to the respective plug-in provider and stored there (in the case of US providers, in the USA). Since the plug-in provider collects the data, mainly via cookies, we recommend that you delete all cookies via your browser’s security settings before clicking on the grayed-out box.

Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (also for users who are not logged in) to display needs-based advertising and inform other social network users about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to creating these user profiles, whereby you must contact the respective plug-in provider to exercise this right.

The legal basis for the use of the plug-ins is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f DS-GVO.

(4) The data transfer occurs regardless of whether you have an account with the plug-in provider and are logged in. If you are logged in to the plug-in provider, your data collected from us will be directly assigned to your account with the plug-in provider. If you click the activated button and link to the page, the plug-in provider also saves this information in your user account and publicly shares it with your contacts. We recommend you log out regularly after using a social network, but especially before activating the button. This allows you to avoid an assignment to your profile with the plug-in provider.
