Incorporation of third-party services and contents
Third-party contents, such as videos from YouTube, maps from Google Maps, RSS feeds or graphic material from other websites, can be incorporated into this online offering. This is always conditional upon the users' IP address being disclosed to the providers of such contents (hereinafter "third-party providers") because without the IP address these providers would not be able to send the contents to the browser of the respective user. The IP address is therefore necessary for the presentation of such contents. We only use those contents where the respective provider uses the IP address exclusively to deliver contents.
Usage data captured automatically

- IP (Internet protocol) address of the computer from where this website is accessed
- Internet address of the website from where this website was called (so-called origin or referrer URL)

Data to be retained as evidence for a longer period of time is exempt from deletion until the underlying event has been finally clarified. Log file data can in some cases be forwarded to investigation authorities.
Otherwise usage data is used for web analysis purposes as described in the "Google Analytics" section below.

Use of the XING plugin
This offering uses a social plugin ("plugin") of the social network xing.com which is operated by XING AG, Dammtorstraße 29-32, 20354 Hamburg, Germany ("XING"). The plugin can be identified by the XING logo (stylised "X" in white and yellow on a white tile).
When a user opens a website of this offering containing such a plugin, the user's browser establishes a direct connection to the XING servers. XING will send the contents of the plugin directly to your browser which will link it to the website. GAUFF thus has no control over the volume of data which XING captures through this plugin, and thus informs users according to GAUFF's state of knowledge.
By integrating the plugins, XING receives the information that a user has opened the corresponding page of the offering. If the user is logged in to XING, XING can assign the visit to the user's XING account. When users interact with plugins, your browser will directly send the corresponding information to XING where this information is then stored. According to XING, no IP address is stored.
Users can find out about the purpose and scope of data capture as well as the further processing and use of data by XING and the related rights and setting options in order to protect user privacy in XING's privacy policy at: https://www.xing.com/.

When a user opens a website of this offering containing such a plugin, the user's browser establishes a direct connection to the LinkedIn servers. LinkedIn will send the contents of the plugin directly to your browser which will link it to the website. GAUFF thus has no control over the volume of data which LinkedIn captures through this plugin, and thus informs users according to GAUFF's state of knowledge.
By integrating the plugins, LinkedIn receives the information that a user has opened the corresponding page of the offering. If the user is logged in to LinkedIn, LinkedIn can assign the visit to the user's LinkedIn account.
