EMBEDDING OF SOCIAL PLUGINS

Our website uses buttons for the following social Networks

• facebook, Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA
• LinkedIn Corporation 1000 W. Maude Avenue Sunnyvale, CA 94085 USA
• Twitter, Twitter Inc., 1355 Market St, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA
• YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno CA 94066, USA

The buttons show the logos of the individual social networks. However, the buttons are not standard social plugins, i.e. plugins provided by social networks, but links with button icons. These buttons are only activated by deliberate actions (clicking). As long as you do not click the buttons, no data will be transferred to the social networks. By clicking the buttons, you accept communication with the servers of the social network, thereby activating the buttons and establishing the link.

Once clicked, the button functions as a share plugin. The social network then obtains information about the site you have visited, which you can share with your friends and contacts. You need to be logged in to “share” information. If you are not logged in, you will be forwarded to the login page of the social network you have clicked, thereby leaving the pages of tuev-sued.de. If you are logged in, your “like” or recommendation of the article in question will be transmitted.

When you activate the button, the social networks will also receive the information that you accessed the respective page of our website and when you did so. In addition, information such as your IP address, details about the browser you used, and your language settings may be transmitted. If you click the button, your click will be transferred to the social network and used according to their data policy.

When you click the button we have no control over the data collected and the data-processing operations. We are not responsible for this data processing, nor are we the “controller” as defined in the GDPR. Neither are we aware of the full extent of data collection, its legal basis, purposes and storage periods. Given this, the information provided here is not necessarily complete.

The data will be transmitted irrespective of whether you actually have an account with this provider or whether you are logged in there. If you are logged in with the provider, your data will be assigned directly to your account. Providers may also use cookies on your computers to track you.

As far as we know, these providers store these data in user profiles which they use for advertising, market research and/or demand-oriented website design. This type of analysis is performed (also for users who are not logged in) to present demand-oriented advertising and inform other users of the social network of your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles. To exercise your right of objection, please contact the relevant provider.

Please consult the information provided by the following social media sites for details of the purpose and scope of data collection and of further processing and use of the data by the respective social network, and for your rights and privacy settings:

• facebook: http://www.facebook.com/about/privacy
• linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy
• Twitter: http://twitter.com/privacy
• youtube: http://www.youtube.com/t/privacy_at_YouTube

If you do not wish social networks to obtain data about you, do not click the button.
