III. Types of Social Media Plug-Ins

We use the following (so-called) social media plug-ins on our website: 

1. Facebook plug-ins

Our website uses plug-ins from the social network Facebook, which is operated by Facebook Inc, 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, U.S. ("Facebook"). The plug-ins are marked with a Facebook logo. An overview of the Facebook plug-ins and their appearance can be found here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins 

When you visit a page of our website that contains such a plug-in, your browser establishes a direct connection to the Facebook servers. Facebook sends the content of the plug-in directly to your browser and integrates it into the page. Through this integration Facebook receives the information that your browser has called up the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a Facebook profile or are not currently logged on to Facebook. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted directly from your browser to a Facebook server in the U.S and stored there. If you are logged in to Facebook, Facebook can immediately associate your visit to our website with your Facebook profile. 

If you interact with the plug-ins, for example by clicking the "I like" button or making a comment, this information is also transmitted directly to a Facebook server and stored there. The information is also published on your Facebook profile and displayed to your Facebook friends.
