§6. Social Media Plugin

On our website, we use social media plugins from the social network Facebook based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR to enhance the visibility of our law firm. The primary advertising aim is considered a legitimate interest under the GDPR. Responsibility for compliance with data protection regulations must be ensured by their respective providers. We integrate these plugins using the so-called two-click method to protect visitors to our website as effectively as possible.

Social media plugins from Facebook are used on our website to personalize their use. For this purpose, we use the "Like" or "Share" button. This is an offer from Facebook.

If you visit a page on our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to Facebook's servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted directly from Facebook to the user's browser and integrated into the website.

Through the integration of plugins, Facebook receives the information that your browser has called up the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a Facebook account or are not logged in to Facebook. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted directly from your browser to Facebook's server in the USA and stored there.

If you are logged into Facebook, Facebook can directly associate your visit to our website with your Facebook account. In case of interaction with the plugins, for example by clicking the "Like" or "Share" button, the relevant information is also transmitted directly to Facebook's server and stored there. This information is also published on Facebook and displayed to your Facebook friends.

Facebook may use this information for advertising purposes, market research, and tailoring Facebook pages to your needs. For this purpose, Facebook creates usage profiles, interests, and relationships, for example, to evaluate the use of our website in relation to advertisements displayed on Facebook, inform other Facebook users about your activities on our website, and provide other services related to the use of Facebook.

If you do not want Facebook to associate information collected through our website with your Facebook account, you must log out of Facebook before visiting our website.

The purpose and scope of data collection and further processing and use of data by Facebook, as well as your rights in this regard and options for settings to protect your privacy, can be found in Facebook's data protection information (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/).
