4. Third-party services
4.1 Social media links
We have our own social media pages with third-party providers that can be accessed via links from this website. By using the links, you will be taken to the respective websites of the third-party providers (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, Google+). Once you have accessed the third-party provider’s website, you are in the area of responsibility of the respective third-party provider, meaning that their privacy policy or their statements on data use also apply. We have no influence on this, but to avoid unnecessary data transfer, we recommend that you log out of the respective third-party provider before using a corresponding link so that the third-party provider cannot create usage profiles simply by using the link.
