Integration with Social Networks (Social Media Plug-Ins):

Our websites provide a connection to social networks using Social Media Plug-Ins. These plug-ins are initially deactivated when you visit our websites and do not transmit any data to such services. Only when you activate a plug-in by clicking on the corresponding control symbol will personal data be transmitted to the selected service ("2-click solution"). The selected service will then receive information that you have visited our website with your IP address. If you click on the plug-in while logged into the respective service, you can share the content of our pages on your profile. This allows the service to associate the visit to our websites with your user account. We would like to point out that, as the website provider, we have no knowledge of the content of the data transmitted or its use by the service.

By activating and using a Social Media Plug-In, you agree to the associated transmission of personal data to the selected service. For more information on the specific use of your personal data, please refer to the privacy policy of the selected service:

The inspection of emails and the filtering of spam or malicious software are initially performed purely automatically; only in cases of suspicion or doubt are individual emails subjected to closer examination by specifically responsible individuals, possibly in consultation with the recipient(s).

We implement all necessary and appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal data from loss and misuse.
