On the basis of art. 6 para. 1 (f) of the GDPR (legitimate interest) and with the purpose of making our company more well known, we use social plugins on our website for the following social networks: Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter. The commercial interest behind this is deemed a legitimate interest within the sense of the GDPR. Responsibility for operation compliant with data privacy must be ensured by the relevant provider.
On the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in analysis, optimisation and economical running of our online offering as defined in art. 6 para. 1 (f) of the GDPR), we also use plugins from short-message network Twitter Inc. You can recognise the Twitter plugins (“Tweet” button) by the Twitter logo (a white bird on a blue background) and the addition of “Tweet”. If you access a page on our website that contains such a plugin, a direct connection is made between your browser and the Twitter server. As a result, Twitter receives the information that you have visited our website with your IP address. If you click on the Twitter button while you are logged into your Twitter account, you can link the content of our site to your Twitter profile. This enables Twitter to assign the visit to our site to your user account. We wish to point out that, as the provider of the site, we receive no information of the content of the transmitted data or its use by Twitter. For more information on this, click here. If you do not wish Twitter to be able to assign the visit to our site, please log out of your Twitter user account.
On the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in analysis, optimisation and economical running of our online offering as defined in art. 6 para. 1 (f) of the GDPR) we use social plugins (“plugins”) from social network facebook.com, which is operated by Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland (“Facebook”). The plugins may be interactive elements or content (e.g. videos, graphics or text) and can be recognised by one of the Facebook logos (white “f” on blue tile, the term “Like” or a “thumb up” symbol) or by the addition of the phrase “Facebook Social Plugin”. The list and appearance of Facebook social plugins can be seen here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/.
Facebook is certified under the Privacy Shield agreement and thus offers a guarantee to comply with European data privacy law.
If a user accesses a function of this online offering that contains such a plugin, the user’s device will connect directly to the Facebook servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted from Facebook directly to the user’s device and embedded by this into the online offering. In doing so, usage profiles for users may be created from the data processed. We have no control of the scope of data that Facebook collects using this plugin and we inform users as such according to our level of knowledge.
Through the embedding of the plugin, Facebook is informed that a user has accessed the corresponding page within the online offering. If the user is logged into Facebook, Facebook can assign the visit to the user’s Facebook account. If users interact with the plugins, e.g. click the Like button or add a comment, the corresponding information is transmitted directly from your device to Facebook and stored there. If a user is not a member of Facebook, it is still possible that Facebook will be aware of and store that user’s IP address. According to Facebook, only an anonymised IP address is stored in Germany.
For more information regarding the purpose and scope of this data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook as well as the rights in this respect and the settings options for protecting user privacy, please visit Facebook’s data privacy notice: 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 online offering and link it with his member details stored at Facebook, he must log out of Facebook and delete his cookies before using our online offering. aAdditional settings and objections to the usage of data for commercial purposes are possible within the Facebook profile settings: www.facebook.com/settings or via the US site http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU site http://www.youronlinechoices.com/. The settings are not platform-dependent, i.e. they apply across all devices, such as desktop computers and mobile devices.
On the basis of art. 6 para. 1 (f) of the GDPR (legitimate interest), we use the reCAPTCHA service provided by Google Inc. (Google). This request is used to determine whether an entry has been made by a person or represents misuse through automated machine processing. The request includes sending to Google the IP address and where necessary other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service. For this purpose, your entry is transmitted to Google and undergoes further usage there. By using reCaptcha, you agree that your recognition can be used in the digitalisation of old works. However, by activating the IP anonymisation on this website, your IP address will be truncated by Google within the Member States of the European Union and other contracting parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the complete IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Google will use this information on the behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate the usage of this service. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the scope of reCaptcha will not be united with any other data held by Google. The diverging data privacy regulations of Google apply to this data.
We will receive your IP address when filling out one of our SurveyMonkey surveys from our website. We may ask for personal details on our surveys for future collaborations, and it is your choice to send us this data. This data will be stored on encrypted computers and will not be shared with third party entities.
