Use of social plugins from Facebook, Youtube, Pinterest, and Instagram

We do not directly implement the various social plugins.

We only provide links to these social networks. The corresponding social plugins are only activated when you follow the links.

Please note that data will only be transmitted once you have activated the relevant social plugins by clicking on the corresponding link. Simply visiting our website does not trigger any data transmission.

If you activate data transmission by clicking on the relevant link, the following data will be transmitted:

Facebook

Plugins from the social network Facebook (Facebook Inc., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA) are integrated into our website. You can recognize the Facebook plugins by the Facebook logo or the “Like” button on our website. An overview of the Facebook plugins can be found here: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/.

The plugin establishes a direct connection between your browser and the Facebook server. Facebook thereby receives the information that you have visited our site with your IP address. If you click the Facebook “Like” button while you are logged into your Facebook account, you can link the content of our platform to your Facebook account. This allows Facebook to associate your visit to our site with your account.

We would like to point out that, as the site operator, we have no knowledge of the content of the data transmitted or how it is used by Facebook. For more information, please see Facebook's privacy policy at http://de-de.facebook.com/policy.php.

Pinterest

Our website incorporates features from the Pinterest service. These features are provided by Pinterest Europe Ltd., Palmerston House, Fenian Street, Dublin 2, Ireland.

When the plugin is activated, your browser establishes a direct connection to the Pinterest servers. The plugin transmits log data to the Pinterest server. This log data may include your IP address, the address of the websites you visit that also contain Pinterest features, the type and settings of your browser, the date and time of your request, your use of Pinterest, and cookies.

Instagram

Our website incorporates features from the Instagram service. These features are provided by Instagram LLC, 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. Since 2012, Instagram LLC has been part of the Facebook Inc. group of companies, 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA.

An overview of the Instagram plugins can be found here: https://about.instagram.com/safety/privacy.

When you interact with the plugins, for example by clicking the “Instagram” button, the plugin establishes a direct connection between your browser and the Instagram server. Instagram receives the information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have an Instagram account or are not currently logged in to Instagram. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted from your browser directly to the Instagram server in the USA and stored there. This allows Instagram to associate your visit to our site with your Instagram account.

We would like to point out that, as the website operator, we have no knowledge of the content of the data transmitted or how it is used by Instagram. For more information, please see Instagram's privacy policy at https://www.instagram.com/about/legal/privacy/.

If you do not want Instagram to associate your visit to our site with your Instagram account, please log out of your Instagram account or do not activate the social plugins.

We base the use of the aforementioned social plugins on Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. By activating the corresponding link, you give us your consent to process your data.

Use of OpenStreetMaps

We use the open source map service “OpenStreetMaps” (also known as “OSM”) from the OpenStreetMap Foundation, 132 Maney Hill Road, Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands, B72 1JU, United Kingdom, to display geodata. OSM is used to provide an interactive map on our website that shows you how to find cultural profiles and where events are taking place.

The following data is transmitted to OSM's servers during display: information about our website that you have visited, your IP address, the type of device you are using, your operating system, and the time of your visit to the website. The legal basis for the processing of your data in relation to the “OSM” service is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest in data processing).
