Our services may be connected to various functions and services of third parties. For example, we include plug-ins for social networks such as Linkedin, in particular. These plug-ins make it easier to share content on these platforms.
When visiting our services that contain such plug-ins, a connection to the server of the respective provider can be established automatically. Certain data (e.g. time of visit to service in question, browser type, IP address) is collected and stored. If you have an account with one of these providers, they can assign this information to your profile. If you also interact with these plug-ins (e.g. by clicking the «Like Me» button or by making a comment), this information is also transmitted to the respective provider and stored there.
