XII Social Media – plugins

Our website uses social media plugins from various sites. In course of usage of plugins, the browser engages in a direct connection to servers of the relevant site. A given supplier thus receives the information that your web browser had displayed the relevant page in a given social media site, even if you do not have a user account with that provider, or if case you are not currently logged in with them. Log files (together with IP addresses) are then sent by Your web browser directly to the server of that provider, and may be stored there. The location of the supplier or their server may lie outside of the EU or the EEA (e. g. in the United States). However, despite the owner of the website at that particular social media website being us, due to the character of social media, the data controller shall be the owner (the ‘Operator’) of that social media site. The Operator handles all the digital service infrastructure, they have their own privacy policy and maintains their own relationship with the User (should You be a registered user of that particular social media site). We thus have no influence on the scope of data collected by social media suppliers by way of these plugins. The objective and scope of data collection, their further processing and usage by the social media site, and the related user rights and options of protection of their privacy, are presented in information on the privacy policy of that particular social media site.
