VII.    Facebook

In our individual blogs we use social plugins (hereinafter: “plugins”) of the social network Facebook.com, which is run by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California, Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (hereinafter: “Facebook”). These plugins are identified by one of the Facebook logos (either a white “F” on a blue background or a “thumps up” sign).  A list of the Face-book social plugins is available at http://developers.facebook.com/plugins, where you can also find out what the individual logos look like.

If you visit a blog from our website which contains such a plugin, your browser will directly connect to the Facebook servers. Facebook will transmit the content of the plugin directly to your browser and your browser will include it in the blog site. We therefore have no influ-ence on the types and the amount of data that are collected by Facebook with these plugins, which is why we can only inform you based on our own knowledge that due to the integration of the plugin, Facebook receives information that you have visited this particular page of our website. If you are logged on to Facebook, Facebook can allocate the visit to your Facebook account. If you interact with the plugins, for example, if you click the “Like” button or post a comment, your browser will transmit the relevant information directly to Facebook, where it will be stored. Even if you are not a Facebook member, it is still possible for Facebook to gain knowledge of – and store – your IP address. Information about the purpose and scope of the collection of data and any further processing and use of such data by Facebook and also about your rights and the setting options that are available to you to protect your privacy is contained in the Facebook privacy statement, which is available at: http://www.facebook.com/policy.php.

If you are a member of Facebook and do not want Facebook to collect any data relating to you from our website and link such data to your data stored on Facebook, you must log out of Facebook before visiting our website. Another option would be to block Facebook social plugins in your browser by using add-ons, such as the “Facebook blocker.”
