Facebook Social Plugins
This offer uses social plugins ("plugins") from the Facebook.com social network, which is operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA ("Facebook"). The plugins are recognizable by one of the Facebook logos (a white letter "f" on a blue tile or a "thumbs up" sign) or are marked with the addition "Facebook Social Plugin". The list and appearance of Facebook social plugins can be viewed here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/ .
When a user retrieves a web page of this service that contains such a plugin, her browser establishes a direct connection to the Facebook servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted by Facebook directly to your browser and integrated into the website. The provider therefore has no influence on the amount of data that Facebook collects through the use of this plugin and therefore informs users according to their level of knowledge:
By integrating the plugins, Facebook receives information that a user has accessed the corresponding page of the service. If the user is logged in to Facebook, Facebook can assign the visit to the user's Facebook account. If, for example, users interact with the plugins, press the Like button or leave a comment, the corresponding information is transmitted from their browsers directly to Facebook and stored there. If a user is not a member of Facebook, there is still the possibility that Facebook will discover and save their IP address. According to Facebook, only an anonymized IP address is stored in Germany.
The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of this data by Facebook, as well as the related rights and settings options to protect user privacy, can be found in Facebook's privacy policy: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.
If a user is a Facebook member and does not want Facebook to collect data about him via this service and associate it with his member data stored on Facebook, he must log out of Facebook before visiting the website.
