Integration of Services and third-party content
Due to our various social media and online-activities, there is a possibility that our website contains third-party content, such as YouTube videos, Twitter postings, Twitch streams, Google Maps template map for navigation, Facebook content and comments, but also content of other websites. This requires the provider of these contents (henceforth referred to as “third-party”) to monitor the user´s IP-address at all times. Certain content could be excluded from being sent to the user´s browser without the IP-address. Therefore, the IP-address is inevitably required in order to present the content. we are endeavored to only use content where the providers solely need the IP-address for the transfer of content. However, we have no influence if data is being saved, for instance for statistical purposes. As far as we are informed, we will be transparent with the user.

Usage of Facebook Social Plugins
This website uses Social Plugins (“Plugins”) from the social network facebook.com, which is operated by the Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland (“Facebook”). The Plugins are perceptible from the Facebook logo (white “f” on blue square, the term “Like” or the “Thumbs up”-symbol) or are labelled with the “Facebook Social Plugin” add-on. The list and the appearance of the Facebook Social Plugins can be seen here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/.
If a user checks a website that uses said Plugin within our website, a direct connection with the Facebook servers will be made with the user´s browser. The plugin´s content will be transmitted directly by Facebook from your browser and included in the website. The provider therefore has no influence on the volume of gathered data by Facebook using said Plugin and, as a consequence, informs the users in accordance with their state of knowledge:
Through inclusion of the Plugin, Facebook gains the information, that a user has checked a corresponding site within our website. If the user is logged into Facebook, the connected Facebook account can be connected to the visit of the site by Facebook. If the user interacts with the Plugins, for instance pressing the Like Button or commenting, the relative information of your browser will be transmitted directly to Facebook and saved there. If a user is not a member of Facebook, the possibility still persists that Facebook will establish their IP-address and save it. According to Facebook, in Germany, only an anonymous IP-address will be saved.
The purpose and the volume of data collection and the further use and processing of data by Facebook, as well as the related rights and control possibilities for the protection and privacy of users, can be checked by the user in the data protection notice by Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/. If a user is a member of Facebook and they do not want Facebook to collect data through our website and connect them with their saved member data on Facebook, they must first log out of Facebook before accessing said service.
