V. Use of third-party plug-ins (e.g., social media plug-ins)

So-called third-party plug-ins are integrated into the website, allowing you to use functionalities offered by third parties on the website. The plug-ins are integrated into the website by means of a so-called „2-click solution“. With this solution, the respective plug-in is not activated directly when the website is accessed, but only when you press the designated activation button for the respective plug-in.

If you activate a third-party plug-in, you use a functionality offered by the provider of the respective plug-in under its own responsibility, which is merely visually embedded into the presentation of our website. Upon activation of the respective plug-in, the provider of the respective plug-in may potentially receive personal data from you. In addition, the provider of the respective plug-in may potentially use cookies (→ Section D).

In the following, you will find more detailed information regarding this:

2. Processing of personal data by providers of third-party plug-ins

The third-party plug-ins are integrated into the website by means of a so-called „2-click solution“. With this solution, the respective plug-in is not activated directly when the website is accessed, but only when you press the designated activation button for the respective plug-in. The activation button contains the name of the respective plug-in and, if applicable, a logo of the third-party provider.

The 2-click solution ensures that your internet browser does not initially establish a connection to the servers of the provider of the respective plug-in when the website is accessed. When the website is accessed, the provider of the respective plug-in cannot initially collect any personal data from you via the respective plug-in. The respective plug-in is only activated when you press the designated button to activate it. As a result of the activation, a connection to the servers of the provider of the respective plug-in is established. This allows the provider of the respective activated plug-in to also collect personal data from you.

Activating the respective plug-in is technically comparable to clicking a link to an external website, with the difference that the content accessed does not appear in a new window or tab of your internet browser, but is visually embedded into our website. The data exchange initiated by your activation and use of the plug-in takes place exclusively between your internet browser and the servers of the respective plug-in provider.

Upon activation of the respective plug-in, the provider may in particular receive your IP address as well as the address (URL) of the website from which you perform the activation. In addition, the provider may receive information from any cookies stored in your internet browser. If you are registered as a user with the respective third-party provider, the provider can generally also assign the received data to your user account.

Please note that we have no knowledge of the specific data collected by the provider of the respective plug-in or the purposes for which this data is processed. Further information on data processing by the respective provider can be found in the privacy policy of the respective provider.
 

3. Data transfer to providers in third countries

If the provider of a plug-in activated by you is based outside the European Union or Switzerland, there may not be an adequate level of data protection for the third country concerned. In such cases, there is a risk that your personal data may not be subject to a level of protection comparable to the General Data Protection Regulation or Swiss data protection law. In particular, it may be the case that no enforceable rights or effective legal remedies are available to you with regard to the processing of your personal data.

When you press the activation button for the respective plug-in, you agree to a corresponding data transfer to the respective provider.
