This website uses the Google Maps product from Google Inc. for the purposes of visually depicting geographical information. During the use of Google Maps, data relating to the website visitors’ use of the maps functions are also collected, processed and used by Google. You will find the terms of service for Google Maps at: “Google Maps Terms of Service” (https://www.google.com/intl/en_gb/help/terms_maps.html).

Use of social plug-ins

If for our website we make use of so-called "social plug-ins" of social networks like Twitter, LinkedIn, XING or Kununu, we incorporate these as follows. When you visit our website these social plug-ins are deactivated, which means there is no transmission of any data to the operators of these networks. If you would like to use one of these networks, click on the respective social plug-in to establish a direct connection to the one concerned. If you have a user account with the network and at the time of activating the social plug-in you are logged onto it, the network can assign your visit to our website to your account. If you wish to avoid this, log out of the network before activating the social plug-in. When you activate a social plug-in, the network transmits the contents that thus become available directly to your browser, which ties them into our website. In this situation, data transfers can also take place, which are initiated and controlled from the respective social network. For your connection to a social network, for the data transfers that take place between the network and your system as well as your interactions with this platform, the data protection regulations of the network concerned apply exclusively. The social plug-in remains active until you deactivate it or delete your cookies.

For this purpose, it is necessary to process personal data for service operation and contract fulfillment as well as a proper and efficient project performance.
