6. social media plug-ins

We use social plug-ins from the social networks Google Plus, LinkedIn and Xing on our website on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR in order to publicise our consulting services. The underlying advertising purpose is to be regarded as a legitimate interest within the meaning of the GDPR. Responsibility for data protection-compliant operation must be guaranteed by their respective providers. We integrate these plug-ins using the so-called two-click method in order to protect visitors to our website in the best possible way.

a) Google Plus

Plugins from the social network Google Plus are integrated on our website. These functions are offered by Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountainview, California 94043, USA. You can use the Google +1 button to publish information worldwide. You and other users receive personalised content from Google and our partners via the Google +1 button. Google stores both the information that you have given +1 for content and information about the page that you viewed when you clicked +1. Your +1s can be displayed as references together with your profile name and your photo in Google services, such as in search results or in your Google profile or in other places on websites and adverts on the Internet.

Google records information about your +1 activities in order to improve Google services for you and others. To be able to use the Google +1 button, you need a globally visible, public Google profile, which must contain at least the name chosen for the profile. This name is used in all Google services. In some cases, this name can also replace another name that you have used when sharing content via your Google account. The identity of your Google profile may be displayed to users who know your email address or have other identifying information about you.

In addition to the uses described above, the information you provide will be used in accordance with the applicable Google privacy policy. Google may publish summarised statistics about the +1 activities of users or pass them on to users and partners, such as publishers, advertisers or affiliated websites. We would like to point out that we, as the provider of the pages, have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or its use by Google.
