EXTERNAL LINKS

Links to other websites do not constitute any endorsement by biolution GmbH or its associates of the information or products presented on that website. Such websites are not within our control and may not follow the same privacy, security or accessibility policies. Once you visit such a website you are subject to the policies of that site. Links from the biolution website to any other third party website imply no endorsement by us of the website, company or product.

 

Third-Party

We may provide links to online services that we do not own or operate. These services fall outside of this Privacy Policy and we have no control over the data they collect. For example, if you click on an advertisement, you may be taken to the advertiser’s website. Once on a third-party site, your data may be collected by others. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of such services before using them.

You may use our service through third-party sites and to send you offers. For example, you may watch a video that is embedded on a third-party platform. This Privacy Policy does not cover any third-party site or any third-party video player.

 

Social Media

We use social media plug-ins. Data to third parties will not be transferred until users click on one of the icons displayed in the social media bar. We have neither influence nor access to cookies that are set by Facebook, Twitter, etc.

On our website, the user can find links to the social media services of Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, etc. The user can recognize links to the websites of the social media services by the respective company logo. If the user follows these links, he will reach our corporate website with the respective social media service. When clicking on a link to a social media service, a connection to the servers of the social media service is established. In this way, it is transmitted to the servers of the social media service that the user has visited the biolution website. In addition, further data is transmitted to the provider of the social media service. These are, for example, the address of the website on which the activated link is located, the date and time of the visit to the website or the activation of the link, information about the browser and operating system used, IP address.

If the user is already logged into the corresponding social media service at the time the link is activated, the provider of the social media service may be able to use the transmitted data to provide the user name of the user and, if applicable, even the real name of the user to determine and assign this information to his personal user account with the social media service. The user can exclude this possibility of assignment to his personal user account if he logs out of his user account beforehand.

The social media service servers are located in the United States and other countries outside the European Union. The data can therefore also be processed by the provider of the social media service in countries outside the European Union. It should be noted that companies in these countries are subject to a data protection law that does not generally protect personal data to the same extent as is the case in the member states of the European Union.

It should be noted that biolution has no influence on the scope, type and purpose of data processing by the provider of the social media service. The user can find more information on the use of user data by the social media services integrated on the biolution website in the privacy policy of the respective social media service.
