SOCIAL MEDIA PLUGINS

We use social media plugins from LinkedIn and Instagram on our website which are identified by the buttons of the same name. We use these services to make ourselves better known and to be able to get in touch with you.

The plugin on our website itself does not yet establish a connection between you and the servers of the social media providers, which is why the latter do not yet process any personal data from you at this point. When you click on the respective social media button, you will be redirected to the website of the provider. After using the social media button, the respective provider receives information about your IP address and that you have visited our websites. We have no influence on the processing of your personal data on their websites and therefore decline any liability.
