Use of social media plugins
Our website uses social plugins (‘plugins’) of the social network facebook.com, operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (‘Facebook’). The plugins are marked with a Facebook logo or the words ‘Facebook Social Plugin’. When you visit a page on our website that contains such a plugin, your browser will establish a direct connection to the Facebook servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted by Facebook directly to your browser and incorporated by it into the website. By incorporating the plugins, Facebook is informed that you have accessed the corresponding page on our website. If you are logged in to Facebook, Facebook can assign the visit to your Facebook account. If you interact with the plugins, for example by clicking the ‘Like’ button or leaving a comment, the information is transferred from your browser directly to Facebook and stored there. For more information about the purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook, as well as your related rights and settings options for the protection of your privacy, please refer to Facebook’s privacy policy. If you do not want Facebook to collect data about you through our website, you must log out of Facebook before visiting our website.
Use of +1 buttons/Google +1 buttons
Our website uses the ‘+1’ button of the Google Plus social network, which is operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (‘Google’). The button is recognisable by the ‘+1’ sign on a white or coloured background. When you visit a page on our website that contains such a button, your browser will establish a direct connection to Google’s servers. The content of the ‘+1’ button is transmitted by Google directly to your browser and incorporated by it into the website. We therefore have no control over the scope of data Google collects using the button. According to Google, no personal data is collected without clicking on the button. Such data, including IP addresses, is only collected and processed from members who are logged in. For more information about the purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Google, as well as your related rights and settings options for the protection of your privacy, please refer to Google’s privacy policy concerning the ‘+1’ button: (http://www.google.com/intl/de/+/policy/+1button.html) and the FAQs: (http://bit.ly/r3Qmer.)
If you are a Google Plus member and you do not want Google to collect information about you from our website and link it to your member data stored on Google, you must log out of Google Plus before visiting our website.

Use of LinkedIn
Our website uses plugins from the social network LinkedIn, operated by LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“LinkedIn”). The plugins from LinkedIn are recognisable by their logo or by the “Recommend” button and are activated directly by the user. When you visit our website, your browser will establish a direct connection to the LinkedIn servers via the plugin. LinkedIn then receives the information that you have visited our site with your IP address when the plugin is activated. If you click on the LinkedIn button while you are logged in to your LinkedIn account, you can link the content of our pages on your LinkedIn profile. LinkedIn can thus attribute the visit to our pages to your user account.

XVIII. Protection of minors
This service is primarily for adults. We do not currently market special areas for children. As a result, we do not knowingly collect information to determine age, nor do we knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 16. However, we advise all visitors to our website under the age of 16 not to disclose or provide any personal information through our service. In the event that we find that a child under the age of 16 has provided us with personal data, we will delete the personal data of the child from our files, insofar as this is technically possible, in compliance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (see the Federal Trade Commission website at www.ftc.gov/kidzprivacy for more information about this law).
XIX. Rights of data subjects
If your personal data is processed, you are a data subject within the meaning GDPR and you have the following rights with respect to the controller.
You have a right to information about the personal data stored about you, the purpose of the processing, possible transfers to other entities and the duration of storage.
If data is inaccurate or no longer required for the purposes for which it was collected, you may request that the data be corrected, deleted or the processing restricted. Insofar as provided for in the processing procedures, you may also view and correct your data yourself if necessary. Should your particular personal situation give rise to reasons against the processing of your personal data, you may object to this insofar as the processing is based on a legitimate interest. The controller will no longer process the personal data relating to you unless it can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing is for the purpose of enforcing, exercising or defending against legal claims. If the personal data relating to you is processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of the personal data relating to you for the purpose of such advertising; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with such direct marketing. If you object to processing for direct marketing or profiling purposes, your personal data will no longer be processed for these purposes.
You have the right to revoke your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. The revocation of consent does not affect the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the time of revocation.

The supervisory authority with whom the complaint is lodged will notify you of the status and outcome of your complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy.
