Social plugins from the providers listed below are used on our website. You can recognize the plugins because they are marked with the corresponding logo.

These plugins may be used to send information, which may also include personal data, to the service operator and, if necessary, used by them.

We do not collect any personal data ourselves through the social plugins or their use.

We have no influence on which data an activated plugin collects and how it is used by the provider. It must currently be assumed that a direct connection to the provider's services will be developed and that at least the IP address and device-related information will be recorded and used. It is also possible that the service providers try to store cookies on the computer used. Please refer to the data protection information of the respective service provider to find out which specific data is collected and how it is used.
