We put social plugs on our website on the basis of Art. 6 paragraph 1, sentence 1 f of the GDPR from the social network LinkedIn of the LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“LinkedIn”), in order to make our company more well known thereby. The promotional purpose behind this is to be regarded as a justified interest in the sense of the GDPR. Responsibility for the data protection-compliant operation is to be guaranteed by the provider. The integration of this plug-in by us is done by way of the so-called two-click method, in order to protect visitors to our website in the best possible way. You can recognise the LinkedIn plug-in by the LinkedIn logo or the “share” button (“recommend”) on this website. When you visit this website, clicking on the plug-in creates a direct connection between your browser and the LinkedIn server. LinkedIn receives thereby the information that you have visited this website with your IP address. If you click on the LinkedIn “share” button while you are logged into your LinkedIn account, you can link the contents of this website to your LinkedIn profile. Thereby, LinkedIn can allocate the visit to this website to your user account. We would like to point out that as provider of the website we receive no knowledge of the contents of the data transmitted or its usage by LinkedIn. Details regarding data collection (purpose, scope, further processing, usage) as well as your rights and configuration options can be obtained from LinkedIn’s data protection information, which can be found at http://www.linkedin.com/static?key=privacy_policy&trk=hb_ft_priv.
We use the “visitor behaviour pixel” of Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”) within our website. With the assistance of this pixel, we can trace the acts of users after they have seen or clicked on a Facebook advertisement. For example, we can record the efficacy of the Facebook advertising for statistical purposes and market-research purposes. The data thus-collected is anonymous for us, i.e. we do not see the personal data of individual users. The promotional purpose behind this is to be regarded as a justified interest in the sense of the GDPR.
However, this data is saved and processed by Facebook, which we are informing you about in accordance with our state of knowledge. The integration of this plug-in by us is done by way of the so-called two-click method, in order to protect visitors to our website in the best possible way. You can recognise the Facebook plug-ins by the Facebook logo on this website. When you access a page of our website which contains such a Facebook plug-in, clicking on the logo causes your browser to create a direct connection with Facebook’s servers.
By clicking on the logo, Facebook receives the information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not possess a Facebook account or are not currently logged into Facebook. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted by your browser directly to a Facebook server in the USA and saved there.
If you are logged into Facebook, Facebook can directly allocate the visit to our website to your Facebook account. If you interact with the plug-ins, for example the “LIKE” or “SHARE” button, the corresponding information is also transmitted to a Facebook server and saved there. The information will also be published on Facebook and shown to your Facebook friends.
Facebook can use this information for the purposes of advertising, market research and need-oriented configuration of Facebook pages. For this purpose, usage profiles, interest profiles and relationship profiles are generated by Facebook, e.g. in order to evaluate your usage of our website with regard to the advertisements displayed to you on Facebook, to inform other Facebook users about your activities on our website, and in order to render other services associated with using Facebook.
If you do not want Facebook to allocate the data compiled about our website to your Facebook account, you must log out of Facebook before visiting our website.
You can read in Facebook’s data protection information about the purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook as well as your rights and configuration options in this respect regarding the protection of your private sphere (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/).

Insofar as your personal data is being processed on the basis of justified interests pursuant to Art. 6 paragraph 1, sentence 1 f of the GDPR, you have the right pursuant to Art. 21 of the GDPR to file an objection to the processing of your personal data insofar as there are reasons for this which arise out of your special situation or if the objection is directed against direct advertising. In the latter case, you have a general objection right, which will be implemented by us without naming a special situation.
If you would like to make use of your revocation or objection right, an email to info@bjb.com is sufficient.
BJB endeavours to take all of the necessary technical and organisational security measures in order to save your personal data in such a way that this is not accessible to third parties or to the public. Should you wish to contact us by email, the confidentiality of the information transmitted is technically limited to the usual degree because the contents of emails can be viewed by third parties.
BJB’s online offer contains links to other websites. We have no influence on their operators complying with the data protection provisions.
This Data Protection Declaration is currently valid, and is as of May 2018.
As a result of the further development of our website and offers or due to modified statutory or official stipulations, it might become necessary to modify this Data Protection Declaration. The respectively-current data protection declaration can be accessed by you and printed out at any time from the website at www.bjb.com/en/Data-privacy.
