6. Social media plugins

On the site, you can quickly and easily share content on the social networks Facebook, Twitter and Whatsapp.

For this purpose, we have created the possibility to use these services with our social buttons - but still protect your privacy.

Social media buttons with data protection (Shariff)

TMB Tourismus-Marketing Brandenburg GmbH is pleased if you share content from our website on Facebook, Twitter and WhatsApp. For this purpose, we do not use the "official" social media buttons of the networks, but use the buttons provided by the c't project "Shariff" (https://www.heise.de/ct/artikel/Shariff-Social-Media-Buttons-mit-Datenschutz-2467514.html).

The "c't Shariff" takes care that social networks can only request data from users when they click on the corresponding button and the user logs in to the respective network. The "c't Shariff" button therefore is initially only a link to the network. If the user is already logged in to the corresponding network in the background, the IP address is transmitted and the surfing behavior is tracked. Common social media buttons, on the other hand, transmit user data with every page view and give the social networks precise information about your surfing behavior (user tracking). You do not need to be logged in or a member of the network to do this.

Facebook

The controller has integrated components of the company Facebook on this website. Facebook is a social network. The operating company of Facebook is Facebook Inc, 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA.

The controller of personal data, if a data subject lives outside the USA or Canada, is Facebook Ireland Ltd. 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2 Ireland.

The use of the Facebook service enables us to integrate image and video content from Facebook on the website, display it and enable it to be played. You can freely decide whether to activate the service or not. In the latter case, however, you will not be able to make full use of the video content.

The privacy policy published by Facebook, which is available at de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides information about the collection, processing and use of personal data. It also explains which setting options Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the data subject. In addition, various applications are available that make it possible to suppress data transmission to Facebook. Such applications can be used by the data subject to suppress data transmission to Facebook.

Twitter

The controller has integrated components of the microblogging service Twitter on this website, namely the library Typeahead, in order to provide users with suggestions in text fields for the automatic completion of search terms. The open source product Typeahead does not collect any personal data. There is a legitimate interest in the use of Typeahead for the convenient use of the search function. You can nevertheless deactivate this service.

The data is processed by Twitter International Company, One Cumberland Place, Fenian Street, Dublin 2, D02 AX07, IE:.

Twitter's applicable privacy policy is available at https://twitter.com/privacy?lang=de.

Pinterest

The controller has integrated components of the Pinterest service on this website. The use of the Pinterest service allows us to embed and display image and video content from Pinterest on the website. You can freely decide whether to activate the service or not. In the latter case, however, you will not be able to make full use of the content.

The controller of the processing of personal data, if a data subject lives outside the United States or Canada, is Pinterest Europe Ltd, Palmerston House, 2nd Floor, Fenian Street, Dublin 2, Ireland.

The applicable privacy policy of Pinterest is available at https://policy.pinterest.com/de/privacy-policy

WhatsApp

The data controller of this website has integrated a button for sharing information via the mobile application WhatsApp (hereinafter "WhatsApp"). Depending on your location, the data controller responsible for the use of WhatsApp is either WhatsApp Ireland Limited (European region) or WhatsApp LLC (outside the European region); more detailed information on the WhatsApp company responsible can be found on the following WhatsApp website: https://faq.whatsapp.com/general/security-and-privacy/who-is-providing-your-whatsapp-services
