Pinterest
We maintain an online presence on Pinterest to present our company and our services and to communicate with customers/prospects. Pinterest is a service provided by Pinterest Inc., 651 Brannan Street, San Francisco, CA, 94107, USA.
In this respect, we would like to point out that it is possible for user data to be processed outside the European Union, in particular in the USA. This can result in increased risks for the user in that, for example, later access to the user data can be made more difficult. We also have no access to this user data. The possibility of access lies exclusively with Pinterest.
You can find Pinterest's privacy policy at

Linking social media via graphic or text link
We also advertise presences on the social networks listed below on our website. The integration takes place via a linked graphic of the respective network. The use of this linked graphic prevents a connection to the respective server of the social network being automatically established when calling up a website that has a social media application in order to display a graphic of the respective network itself. The user is only forwarded to the service of the respective social network by clicking on the corresponding graphic.
After the user has been forwarded, information about the user is recorded by the respective network. It cannot be ruled out that the data collected in this way will be processed in the USA.
This is initially data such as IP address, date, time and page visited. If the user is logged into his user account of the respective network at the same time, the network operator can, if necessary, assign the information collected from the user's specific visit to the user's personal account. If the user interacts via a "Share" button of the respective network, this information can be stored in the user's personal user account and, if necessary, published. If the user wants to prevent the collected information from being directly assigned to his user account, he must log out before clicking on the graphic. It is also possible to configure the respective user account accordingly.
The following social networks are linked to our site:

The add-on informs the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js) that information about the visit to our website should not be transmitted to Google Analytics.

You can of course also find out whether and which other web analysis services we use in this data protection declaration.
