7. Transfer of personal data to third parties, social plug-ins
We use "social plug-ins" for YouTube, Vimeo, and LinkedIn on our website. These are integrated by us as described below:

a) When you visit our website, the social plug-ins are deactivated, which means there is no transmission of data to the operators of the respective networks. If you wish to use one of the integrated networks, click on the respective social plug-in to establish a direct connection with the server of the respective network.

b) If you activate a social plug-in, it is possible that personal data will reach providers in countries outside the European Economic Area which, from the perspective of the European Union ("EU"), do not ensure an "adequate level of protection" for the processing of personal data inline with EU standards. Please consider this circumstance before activating a social plug-in and thereby triggering a transfer of your data.

c) When you activate a social plug-in, the network transmits the content that becomes available as a result directly to your browser, which embeds it in our web pages. In this situation, data transfers may be initiated and controlled by the respective social network. Your connection to a social network, the data transfers that take place between the network and your system, and your interactions on this platform are governed exclusively by the privacy policy of the respective network.

d) The social plug-in remains active until you deactivate it or delete your cookies. Even if you are not logged into social networks, data may be sent to the networks from websites with active social plug-ins. If you do not want social networks to collect data about you via active plug-ins, you can, for example, either watch the video directly on YouTube or select the "Block third-party cookies" function in your browser settings. However, with this setting, in addition to the plug-ins, other cross-site functions may no longer work.

e) If you have a user account with the network and are logged in there at the moment of activating the social plug-in, the network can assign your visit to our websites to your user account. If you wish to avoid this, please log out of the network before activating the social plug-in.
