Use of social media plugins
Facebook plugins
Plugins of the social network Facebook (Facebook Inc. 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA) may be integrated on our website. You can recognize the Facebook plugins by the Facebook logo or the “Like button” or “Like me” on our page. You can find an overview of the Facebook plugins here:
developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/
When you visit our pages, a direct connection between your browser and the Facebook server is established by you actively pressing the plugin button. The confirmation of the social media plugin is done by your active decision. This means that the center itself does not come into possession of personal data.
Visits to our website and to the Center’s Facebook fan page may thereby be tracked by Facebook if the user has a user account with Facebook. We have no influence on the transmission of information to Facebook. If you do not want Facebook to be able to assign your visit to our pages to your Facebook user account, please log out of Facebook. You can find more information on this in Facebook’s privacy policy at
en-en.facebook.com/policy.php
By each call of web pages, which are operated by us and on which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) was integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically caused by the respective Facebook component to download a representation of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook. A complete overview of all Facebook plug-ins can be found at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=de_DE.
can be retrieved. Within the framework of this technical procedure, Facebook receives information about which specific sub-page of our website is visited by the person concerned.
We use Facebook Fanpages, for which we are jointly responsible with Facebook Ireland Limited:
In joint responsibility with Facebook, we analyze how you use our fan page (page insights). The information required by the DSGVO regarding data processing within the scope of Page Insights can be obtained from Facebook; currently by name in Facebook’s privacy notices at https://www.facebook.com/privacy/explanation.

Within the scope of Page Insights, we ourselves only receive anonymised statistics – we have no access to personal data processed by Facebook. The processing of the anonymised data by us is based on legal regulations which allow us to process personal data because we have an overriding legitimate interest in gaining a better understanding of the interests of the visitors to our Fanpage (Art. 6 (1) f) DSGVO.
We offer various community functions on our fan pages with which you can interact with other users, for example by posting articles on our Wall, leaving comments or liking or sharing articles. Please note that these areas are publicly accessible and any personal information you post or provide when you register may be viewed by others. We cannot control how other users of our Fanpage use this information. In particular, we cannot prevent unsolicited messages from being sent to you.
We collect all data entered within the framework of the community functions in order to be able to provide you with the community functions as intended. Without this information, we are unable to provide you with the appropriate community features. This data is processed on the basis of legal regulations which allow us to process personal data insofar as it is necessary for the use of a service or the fulfilment of a contract (e.g. § 15 para. 1 TMG; Art. 6 para. 1 b) DSGVO), or because we have an overriding legitimate interest in making the use of our offer as easy and efficient as possible (Art. 6 para. 1 f) DSGVO).
