Users usually have the possibility to create private or business profiles, to network with each other or to provide private or company-related information. We use plug-ins to provide visitors to our website with a better user experience and to facilitate the sharing, commenting and liking of content. The respective plug-in provider stores the data collected about you as usage profiles. The purpose of the processing is the presentation of (needs-based) advertising, market research and/or needs-based design of the website and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website.

This information is processed on Twitter's servers in the USA. Regardless of whether you are logged in to Twitter or have no account at all, Twitter receives the information that your browser has called up the page. If you are logged in to Twitter, Twitter can directly assign your visit to our website and/or interaction with the plug-in, for example by clicking, to your Twitter account.
