Integration of services and contents from third parties
It may be the case that in these online offers contents of third parties such as for example YouTube videos, map data from google maps, RSS-feeds or graphics from other websites will be included. This always assumes that the providers of these contents (hereinafter referred to as “third party provider”) will be aware of the IP address of the user. Because without the IP address they would not be able to send the contents to the browser of the corresponding user. The IP address is hence necessary to display these contents. We aim at using only those contents whose corresponding provider uses the IP address only to deliver the contents.

Newsletter – performance measurement
The newsletters contain a so-called “web-beacon”, that means a pixel-sized file which is retrieved from our server or rather in case we use a shipping provider, from his server when opening the newsletter. In the framework of this request first technical data such as any information about the browser and your system as well as your IP-address and the access time will be collected.
This information is used to technically improve our services by means of technical data or improve the service for our target groups and their reading behaviour by receiving information on their places of access (which can be determined by means of the IP address) or by determining their access times. The statistical data include also the verification whether the newsletter was opened or not, when it was opened, and which links were opened. This information can be assigned to the single newsletter recipients. However, it is not our goal nor the goal of the shipping provider, if there is any, to control single users. The evaluation is used primarily to identify the reading behaviour of our users and to adapt our contents to it or send different contents according to the interests of our users.

Use of Facebook Social Plugins

The plugins can be identified via the facebook logos (white “f” on a blue background, the terms “Like” or the thumbs-up signs) or are marked with the addition “Facebook Social Plugins”. The list and the look of the Facebook Social Plugins is represented here https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/.
If a user of a website views this offer which contains such a plugin his browser creates a direct connection to the Facebook server. The content of the Plugin will be directly transferred to your browser by Facebook and from there embedded into the website. Thus, the provider has no influence on the extent of the data which Facebook collects with the help of these plugins and thus informs the user according to the personal state of knowledge:
Through the embedment of Plugins, Facebook receives the information that a user viewed the respective page of a particular offer. If the user is logged in on Facebook, Facebook can assign this visit to the respective Facebook account. If a user interacts with the Plugins, for example by clicking the “Like”- Button or entering a comment, the respective information is directly transmitted from your browser to Facebook and saved there. If a user is not a member of Facebook, however, Facebook has the possibility to find out the IP address and to save it. According to Facebook in Germany only anonymized IP addresses are saved.
The purpose and extent of data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook as well as respective rights and possible settings to protect the privacy of the user, can be found in the privacy statement provided by Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.
If a user is a member of Facebook and this person does not want Facebook to collect any data on him via this offer and connect them with the membership data saved on Facebook, he must log out from his Facebook account before visiting the internet site.
