6) Use of single sign-on procedures

6.1 Facebook Connect

On our website, if you have a Facebook profile, you can register to create a customer account or register using the social plugin "Facebook Connect", the social network Facebook operated by Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA ("Facebook"), using the Single Sign On technique. The social plugins of "Facebook Connect" on our website can be recognized by the blue button with the Facebook logo and the inscription "Connect with Facebook" or "Connect with Facebook" or "Log in with Facebook" or "Sign in with Facebook".

No data will be transmitted to Facebook without prior activation of the plugin by clicking and additional confirmation. After activation, your browser establishes a direct connection to the Facebook servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted by Facebook directly to your browser and integrated into the page. Through this integration, Facebook receives the information that your browser has called up the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a Facebook profile or are not currently logged on to Facebook. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted directly from your browser to a Facebook server in the USA and stored there. These data processing procedures are carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 letter f GDPR on the basis of Facebook's justified interest in the insertion of personalised advertising on the basis of surfing behaviour.

By using this "Facebook Connect" button on our website, you also have the option to log in or register on our website using your Facebook user information. Only if you have given your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, we receive the general and public information stored in your profile when using the Facebook Connect button, depending on your personal privacy settings on Facebook. This information includes the user ID, name, profile picture, age and gender.

Please note that after changes to Facebook's Privacy Policy and Terms of Use, your profile pictures, your friends' user IDs and your Friends List may also be transferred if they are marked as "public" in your Facebook privacy settings. The data transmitted by Facebook will be stored and processed by us to create a user account with the necessary data, if you have given Facebook permission to do so (title, first name, surname, country, e-mail address). Conversely, we may transfer data (e.g. information about your surfing behaviour) to your Facebook profile on the basis of your consent.

The consent given can be revoked at any time by sending a message to the person responsible named at the beginning of this declaration.
Facebook Inc., based in the USA, is certified for the "Privacy Shield" (Swiss-US and EU-US) data protection agreement, which ensures compliance with the applicable data protection level.
