Linking UNIVERSUM Group to one of our social networking sites, such as our Facebook page, is a simple link to third-party sites. We do not transfer any personal information to these other providers in the case of such a link. However, we would like to point out that the online offers of third parties basically have the possibility to recognize at least the origin of a visit. We have no influence on the data processing at third parties, therefore the UNIVERSUM Group data protection declaration does not extend to the websites of third parties.
2. share and like-buttons for UNIVERSUM Group content
At various points in our online offerings we offer you the opportunity to disseminate and recommend your content on social networks. This offers you a convenient alternative to copying and sending links.
When you visit our sites and use the referral features, we pass the URL to the social network of your choice. Some networks then immediately add an excerpt of the content we offer to the link. On most social networks, you will be asked for confirmation before saving or forwarding.
Please note that as UNIVERSUM Group we have no knowledge or control over how social networks deal with information you share and whether this information is made available to other websites. We recommend that you read the respective data protection information carefully.
3. linking UNIVERSUM Group offers with social networks
Our online services offer you optional functionalities whose use is linked to social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn or XING. If you use social networks, these functionalities make it easier for you to use the UNIVERSUM Group site.
At the same time, these functionalities allow us to adapt our content to your individual interests, e.g. to give you a few tips.
Social media networks have become indispensable in today's world. The UNIVERSUM Group fulfils the wish of many users to share interesting content on the pages of the UNIVERSUM Group quickly and easily in social networks. Therefore we have created the possibility to use these services with our social media buttons - but still to protect your privacy.
We use the Shariff social media buttons. This means that we protect your surfing behaviour from prying eyes.
Shariff prevents you from leaving a digital track on every page you visit and improves your privacy. You can liken, +1en or tweeten as usual without the social network receiving more information from you. A direct contact between social network and visitor is only established when the latter actively clicks on the share button. More information about Shariff and data protection can also be found here.
We offer you the following social media networks in our Shariff plugin: Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Xing and LinkedIn.
This site uses social plugins ("plugins") of the social network facebook.com, which is operated by Facebook Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Facebook"). The plugins can be recognized by one of the Facebook logos (white "f" on blue tile, the terms "Like", "Like" or a "thumbs up" sign) or are marked with the addition "Facebook Social Plugin". The list and the appearance of the Facebook Social Plugins can be viewed here: developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/.
When a user accesses a website on this site that contains such a plugin, his browser establishes a direct connection to Facebook's servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted directly from Facebook to your browser and integrated into the website. The provider therefore has no influence on the extent of the data that Facebook collects with the help of this plugin and therefore informs users according to their level of knowledge:
By integrating the plugins, Facebook receives information that a user has called up the corresponding page of the offer. If the user is logged in to Facebook, Facebook can assign the visit to his Facebook account. When users interact with the plugins, for example by pressing the Like button or making a comment, the corresponding information is transmitted directly from your browser to Facebook and stored there. If a user is not a member of Facebook, it is still possible for Facebook to obtain and store their IP address. According to Facebook, only an anonymized IP address is stored in Germany.
The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook, as well as the relevant rights and setting options for the protection of users' privacy, can be found in Facebook's data protection information: www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.
If a user is a Facebook member and does not want Facebook to use this offer to collect data about him or her and link it to his or her membership data stored on Facebook, he or she must log out of Facebook before visiting the website. Further settings and objections to the use of data for advertising purposes are possible within the Facebook profile settings: www.facebook.com/settings.
This offer uses the "+1″ button of the social network Google Plus, which is operated by Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States ("Google"). The button can be recognized by the sign "+1″ on a white or colored background.
When a user calls up a website of this offer that contains such a button, the browser establishes a direct connection to Google's servers. The content of the "+1″ button is transmitted by Google directly to its browser and integrated into the website. The provider therefore has no influence on the extent of the data that Google collects with the button. According to Google, no personal data is collected without a click on the button. Only with logged in members, such data, among other things the IP address, are raised and processed.
The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Google as well as your rights and setting options for the protection of your privacy can be seen by the users of Google's data protection information on the "+1″ button: http://www.google.com/intl/de/+/policy/+1button.html and the FAQ: http://www.google.com/intl/de/+1/button/.
This site uses web site elements (https://dev.twitter.com/web/overview), such as buttons or embedded content from the Twitter service, offered by Twitter Inc, 795 Folsom St., Suite 600, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA. With the help of the website elements it is possible, for example, to share a contribution or page of this offer on Twitter or to follow the provider on Twitter. As further contents above all individual Tweets can be merged into the web page.
When a user visits a website on this website that contains such a website element, his browser establishes a direct connection to Twitter's servers. The content of the website element is transmitted directly from Twitter to the user's browser. The provider therefore has no influence on the extent of the data that Twitter collects with the help of the website elements and informs users according to their level of knowledge. After this only the IP address of the user the URL of the respective web page is transmitted with the purchase of the Buttons, but not for other purposes, than the representation of the web page element, used. Further information can be found in Twitter's privacy policy at http://twitter.com/privacy.
This site uses plugins from Google's YouTube site. This website is operated by YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. If you visit one of our pages equipped with a YouTube plugin, a connection to the YouTube servers is established. The Youtube server will be informed which of our pages you have visited.
When a user is logged in to his YouTube account, he enables YouTube to assign his surfing behavior directly to his personal profile. He can prevent this by logging out of his YouTube account.
Further information on the handling of user data can be found in YouTube's data protection declaration at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy
Integration of third-party services and content
It may happen that third party content, such as videos from YouTube, maps from Google Maps, RSS feeds or graphics from other websites are integrated within this online offer. This always presupposes that the providers of this content (hereinafter referred to as "third party providers") are aware of the IP address of the users. Because without the IP address, they could not send the content to the browser of the respective user. The IP address is therefore required for the display of this content. We make every effort to use only those contents whose respective providers use the IP address only for the delivery of the contents. However, we have no influence on this if the third party providers store the IP address, e.g. for statistical purposes. As far as we know, we inform the users about this.
