7. Social media

1. Shariff solution

We use Shariff buttons from social networks [Facebook, Twitter and Google+, LinkedIn and Xing] on our website. The buttons are simple HTML links. The procedure we use is within the framework of the Shariff solution. With the Shariff solution a script retrieves the number of times, e.g., the share button on a page has been clicked on: for this the script contacts the social network via the pro-gramming interfaces and retrieves the numbers. None of your personal data are transmitted in the process. Rather than your IP address, only our server address is transmitted to Facebook, Google and Twitter. You only become directly connected to Facebook, Google or Twitter if you perform an action. Before that the social networks cannot collect any data about you. As long as you do not click on a link to share content, you remain invisible to the networks. If you click on a link, the obliga-tion to provide information about data collection and processing no longer rests with us, but rather with the operator of the social network.
