(2) When you visit a page of our website that contains one of these social plug-ins, your browser makes a direct connection to the servers of Facebook, Google, Twitter or Instagram. The content of the plug-in is sent from the respective provider directly to your browser and integrated into the page. Through integration of the plug-in, the providers receive the information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a profile or are not logged in. This information (including your IP address) is sent directly from your browser to, and stored on, a server of the respective provider in the USA.
(3) If you are logged in to any of the services, the providers can directly associate the visit to our website with your profile on Facebook, Google+, Twitter and/or Instagram. If you interact with the plug-ins, e.g. by pressing the “Like”, “+1”, “Twitter” or “Instagram” button, the corresponding information is also sent directly to, and stored on, a server of provider. The information is also published in the social network, on your Twitter and/or Instagram account and displayed to your contacts there.
(4) The purpose and the scope of data collection and any further processing and use of the data by the providers as well as your associated rights and the settings available for protecting your privacy are detailed in the privacy policies of the providers.

(5) If you do not want Google, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or Pinterest to associate the data collected via our website directly with your profile in the respective service, you must log out of that service before you visit our website. You can also completely prevent the plug-ins from being loaded with add-ons for your browser, e.g. with the script blocker “NoScript” (http://noscript.net/).
§ 8 Integration of third-party services
(1) In our online site, we have integrated YouTube videos which are stored at http://www.YouTube.com and can be played directly from our website. These are all integrated in “enhanced data protection mode”, i.e. no data about you as a user is sent to YouTube if you do not play the videos. Only if you play the videos is the data mentioned in paragraph 2 transmitted. We have no control over the transmission of this data.
(2) On this website, we have integrated content from the following third-party providers: Google Maps, RSS feeds, graphics. When you visit the website, the third-party provider receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding sub-page of our website. In addition, the data mentioned in § 4 of this Privacy Statement is transmitted. This is done regardless of whether this third-party provider provides a user account through which you are logged in or if no user account exists. If you are logged in with the plug-in provider, this data is directly associated with your account. If you do not want this association with your profile for the respective plug-in provider, you must log out before you press the button.
(3) The plug-in provider stores this data as user profiles and uses it for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or needs-based design of its website. Such evaluation is carried out (including for users who are not logged in) in particular to produce needs-based advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, which you can exercise by contacting the respective plug-in provider.
(4) For further information regarding the purpose and scope of data collection by the plug-in providers, please refer to their privacy statements. These also contain further information regarding your associated rights and the settings available for protecting your privacy.
