The respective plugin providers store your collected data as user profiles, utilizing it for Marketing, market research purposes and/or designing their web sites on a needs-oriented basis.

You have the right to object to the use of your data in these user profiles, but have to contact the respective plugin Providers in order to exercise it. Featuring these plugins on our website allows us to offer you the opportunity of interacting with social networks as well as other users. This, in turn, allows us to further improve our web service and to make it more appealing to you as a user. The legal basis for our use of plugins is Art. 6 (1) (f) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation.
