General data protection declaration for the use of the “share buttons” offered on our website by the providers Facebook, Google+, Twitter, Pinterest and WhatsApp.

Within the posts on our homepage, we use so-called “share buttons” from several social media providers, which are shown individually below.

In general, however, we have only implemented these buttons on our homepage using appropriate coding so that they ultimately only represent so-called hyperlinks that lead to the offer of the corresponding social media provider. Data is therefore only transferred to the respective social media provider if you actively click on one of these “share buttons” in a post on our site.

This special coding is also referred to as “script-free sharing” and therefore prevents your data from being transferred to the above social media providers when you visit our homepage, before you have actively consented or become aware of it.

A “share button” from the social network Facebook, provider Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA, is integrated on our site. You can recognize this button by the Facebook logo on our website.

With regard to the transfer of data to Facebook Inc. Reference can be made to the above-mentioned general information on using the “Share buttons”. A transmission, at least your IP address, therefore only takes place if you actively click on this Facebook “share button” on our homepage. When a post is actually called up on our homepage, no data is yet sent to Facebook Inc. forwarded.

We would like to point out that, as the provider of the homepage, we have no knowledge of the content of the other data transmitted or their use by Facebook. You can find more information on this in Facebook’s data protection declaration at:

http://de-de.facebook.com/policy.php.

Our site also uses a “share button” from Google+. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

For this Google+ button, reference can also be made to the above-mentioned general information on using the “share buttons”. A transmission, at least your IP address, therefore only takes place when you actively click on this Google+ “share button” on our homepage. When a post is actually called up on our homepage, no data is sent to Google Inc. forwarded.

With the help of the Google+ button you can publish information worldwide. You and other users receive personalized content from Google via the Google+ button. Google saves both the information that you have shared a piece of content and information about the page that you viewed when you clicked on “share”. Your “sharing” can be shown as a reference together with your profile name and your photo in Google services, such as in search results or in your Google profile or in other places on websites and advertisements on the Internet.

Google records information about your “share” activities in order to improve Google services for you and others. In order to be able to use the Google share button, you need a globally visible, public Google profile that must contain at least the name chosen for the profile. This name is used in all Google services. In some cases, this name can also replace another name that you have used when sharing content via your Google account. The identity of your Google profile can be shown to users who know your email address or who have other identifying information about you.

In addition to the purposes outlined above, the information you provide will be used in accordance with the applicable Google data protection provisions. Google may publish aggregated statistics about users’ “sharing” activities or pass them on to users and partners, such as publishers, advertisers or affiliated websites.

A “share button” from the Twitter service is also integrated on our site. This is offered by Twitter Inc., 1355 Market Street, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA.

For this Twitter button, too, reference can be made to the above-mentioned general information on using the “Share buttons”. A transmission, at least your IP address, therefore only takes place if you actively click on this Twitter “share button” on our homepage.

By using Twitter and the “Retweet” function, the websites you visit are linked to your Twitter account and made known to other users. This data is also transmitted to Twitter. We would like to point out that, as the provider of the website, we have no knowledge of the content of the data transmitted or of how it is used by Twitter. You can find more information on this in Twitter’s data protection declaration at:

For this Pinterest button, reference can also be made to the general information on using the “share buttons” mentioned above. A transmission, at least your IP address, therefore only takes place if you actively click on this “share button” from Pinterest on our homepage. When a post is actually called up on our homepage, no data is yet sent to Pinterest Inc. forwarded.

Only when you click on the “Share button” does your browser establish a direct connection to the Pinterest servers. The button then transmits log data to the Pinterest server in the USA. This log data may contain your IP address, the address of the websites visited, which also contain Pinterest functions, the type and settings of the browser, the date and time of the request, your use of Pinterest and cookies.
