Social Media Plug-ins with Shariff

This website uses social media plug-ins (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, XING, LinkedIn, Tumblr). You can usually recognize these plug-ins by their respective social media logos. To ensure privacy on this website, we use these plug-ins only together with the so-called “Shariff” solution provided by c’t magazine.

By activating them, you give your consent for transmitting and storing personal information according to Art. 6 (1) lit.a GDPR.

Once activated, each plug-in collects personal information from you and transmits it back to its respective provider where it may be stored in servers located outside Germany or even outside EU/EEA countries such as USA.

This process also includes transmitting personal information back from providers’ servers through plug-ins into our site’s pages where they appear as social media posts listed under our domain name.

We neither receive nor store any personal information from social media providers directly through their plug-ins or through any other means as part of social media interaction except when users voluntarily share it with us through private messages on social media platforms.
