SOCIAL MEDIA

USE OF FACEBOOK SOCIAL PLUG-INS

Our Internet presence uses social plug-ins (“plug-ins”) for the social network, facebook.com, which is operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”). The plug-ins are recognisable by Facebook logos (a white “f” on a blue tile or a “thumbs-up” sign) or are identified by the endorsement, “Facebook Social Plug-in” The list and the appearance of the Facebook Social Plug-ins can be viewed here: developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/

If you call up a website from our Internet presence, which includes such a plug-in, your browser creates a direct link with the Facebook servers. The content of the social plug-in is transmitted direct to your browser by Facebook and linked by it into the website. We have no influence on the extent of data collected by Facebook by means of the social plug-in and thus we can only inform you to the state of our knowledge. The integration of the plug-in provides Facebook with the information that you have called up the corresponding page of our Internet presence. If you are logged onto Facebook, Facebook is able to assign the visit to your Facebook Account. If you interact with the social plug-ins, for example, if you activate the “Like” button or make a comment, the relevant information will be transmitted directly from your browser straight to Facebook. Even if you are not a Facebook member, it is nevertheless possible that Facebook may discover and store your IP address. The purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook as well as your rights in this regard and possible browser settings to protect your personal privacy can be found in the Facebook data protection instructions on 

www.facebook.com/policy.php 

If you are a registered Facebook user and do not wish Facebook to collect data about you via our website and to connect it to your membership data stored with Facebook, you must log out of Facebook prior to visiting our website.

USE OF THE LINKEDIN BUTTON

LinkedIn receives information, whenever you use your LinkedIn account in order to register on a website or on a third party application.

If you visit a website with LinkedIn plug-ins and are registered as a LinkedIn member, LinkedIn uses this information to recommend to you contents, which are especially relevant to you. By means of this information the functions provided to you by LinkedIn are personalised on the websites of third parties. You can inter alia broaden your knowledge by means of your LinkedIn network and exchange information with your network (direct contacts and 2nd degree contacts).

Access logs (“server logs”)

Each access to this recruitment website automatically causes general protocol data, so-called server logs, to be collected. As a rule, this data is a pseudonym and thus does not allow for inferences about the identity of an individual. Without this data, it would, in some cases, be technically impossible to deliver or display the contents of the software. In addition, processing this data is absolutely necessary under security aspects, in particular for access, input, transfer, and storage control. Furthermore, this anonymous information can be used for statistical purposes and for optimizing services and technology. In addition, the log files can be checked and analyzed retrospectively when unlawful use of the software is suspected. The legal basis for this is §25 subsection 2 Sentence 2 TDDDG. Generally, data such as the domain name of the website, the web browser and web-browser version, the operating system, the IP address, as well as the timestamp of the access to the software is collected. The scope of this log process does not exceed the common log scope of any other site on the web. These access logs are stored for a period of up to 7 days. There is no right to object to this.

Error logs

So-called error logs are generated for the purpose of identifying and fixing bugs. This is absolutely necessary to ensure we can react as quickly as possible to possible problems with displaying and implementing content (legitimate interest).

When an error message occurs, general data such as the domain name of the website, the web browser and web-browser version, the operating system, the IP address, as well as the timestamp upon occurrence of the respective error message and/or specification is collected.
