Google stores your data as usage profiles and uses them for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or requirements-oriented design of its website.

"Social Share Buttons

Our website uses so-called social share buttons for the social networks Facebook, Google+, Pinterest and the microblogging service Twitter. In order to protect your data when you visit our website, the buttons are integrated using the ""Shariff solution"". This type of integration ensures that no connection is established with Facebook, Google, Pinterest and Twitter (""social networks"") servers when you access one of our websites that contains such buttons. Only if you actively click on one of these buttons and thereby give your consent to data transmission, your browser establishes a direct connection to the servers of the social network. With your click, the social network only receives information from us that your browser has called up the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a profile with the corresponding social network or are not currently logged in. Then this information (including your IP address) is transmitted directly from your browser to a server of the respective social network and stored there without us being able to influence it. If you are logged in to the corresponding social network, your visit to our website can be directly assigned to your profile there. If you interact with a social network, for example by clicking the ""Like"" or the ""Twitter"" button, the corresponding information is also transmitted directly to a server of the social network. The information is also published with the respective service and may be further processed there. The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by the Social Network as well as your relevant rights and settings options for the protection of your privacy can be found in the data protection information of the respective Social Network: Facebook's privacy policy: http://www.facebook.com/policy.php
