6. Facebook social plug-ins
Our online offer uses social plug-ins (“plug-ins”) of the social network facebook.com. This is operated by Facebook Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand -Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland. The plug-ins are recognizable by one of the Facebook logos (white “f” on a blue tile, the terms “Like”, “Like” or a “thumbs up” sign) or are marked with the addition “Facebook Social Plugin”. You can view a list of Facebook social plug-ins here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/.
If you as a user* call up a function of our online offer that contains such a plug-in, a direct connection to the Facebook servers is established. The content of the plug-in is transmitted by Facebook directly to your device and integrated by it into the online offer. In the process, a usage profile of you can be created from the processed data. We have no influence on the scope of the data that Facebook collects with the help of this plug-in and therefore inform users according to our level of knowledge.
If you are logged in to Facebook as a user, Facebook can assign the visit to your Facebook account. If users interact with the plugins, for example by clicking the Like button or commenting, the corresponding information is transmitted directly from your device to Facebook and stored there. If you are not a Facebook member, Facebook can still obtain and store your IP address. According to Facebook, only an anonymized IP address is stored in Germany.
The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook, as well as the related rights and settings options for protecting the privacy of users* can be found in Facebook’s privacy policy: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.
If you are a Facebook member but do not want Facebook to collect and link data about you via our website, you must log out of Facebook and delete your cookies before using our online offer.
Further settings and objections to the use of data for advertising purposes are possible within the Facebook profile settings: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads.

7. Integration of third party services and content
It may happen that content or services of third-party providers are integrated within our online offer, for example city maps or fonts from other websites. The integration of third-party content always requires that the third-party provider is aware of the IP address of the user, as without the IP address they cannot send the content to the user’s browser. The IP address is thus required for the display of this content. Furthermore, the third-party providers can set their own cookies and process the users’ data for their own purposes. In doing so, usage profiles of the users can be created from this processed data. We will use this content as sparingly as possible and in a way that avoids data loss, and we will select reliable third-party providers with regard to data security.
The following presentation provides an overview of third-party providers and their content, links to their privacy statements, which contain further information on the processing of data and opt-out options:
- External fonts from Google, Inc, https://www.google.com/fonts (“Google Fonts”). The integration of the Google Fonts is done by a server call at Google (usually in the USA). Privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/, Opt-Out: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/.
