Use of Social Media Networks
Our website contains links to social media networks such as Facebook and Twitter. These are not plugins provided by Facebook or Twitter that automatically transmit data to the providers when a page is loaded without user interaction.
The buttons linking to social media networks merely contain a hyperlink to the respective network, including the URL of the page to be shared. No user data from our website is transmitted to the social media network.
If, at the time you click the button, you are already logged into the respective social media service, this will be recognized in the share dialog so that you can share the content directly. If you are not logged in, you will be prompted to log into the social media network. From that point on, you will be on the website of the respective social media network.
When clicking on the Facebook button, you will be redirected to an online presence of Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA. Information on the collection, storage, and use of your data by Facebook Inc. can be found in the provider’s privacy policy: http://www.facebook.com/policy.php
Hochkar & Ötscher Tourismus GmbH cooperates with various social media providers. As part of this cooperation, when using certain services (so-called “embeds” of content such as videos from Vimeo or YouTube, or Instagram posts), your browser automatically connects to the selected service provider. For example, your IP address, cookies, and other information may be transmitted to the service provider if you have previously visited their website. This data transfer only occurs when you interact with these social networks.
We would like to point out that, as the website operator, we have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or how it is used by the social networks. For more information about the use of data by social networks, please refer to the respective privacy policies of those networks.
Other social media channels in detail:
We use functions of the social media network Instagram on our website, operated by Instagram LLC, 1601 Willow Rd, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. The embedding feature (Embed Function) allows us to display images and videos. When you visit pages that use these features, data (such as IP address, browser data, date and time, cookies) are transmitted to Instagram, stored, and evaluated. If you have an Instagram account and are logged in, this data is associated with your personal account and the data stored therein. Information about what data Instagram collects and how it is used can be found in Instagram’s privacy policy: https://help.instagram.com/155833707900388.
The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in improving the quality of our website, as well as in Instagram’s legitimate interest in statistically analyzing user behavior for optimization and marketing purposes.
YouTube
Our website uses the YouTube button of the social network YouTube, operated by YouTube LLC, headquartered at 901 Cherry Avenue, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA (“YouTube”). When you visit a page on our website that contains such a button, your browser establishes a direct connection to YouTube’s servers. The content of the YouTube button is transmitted directly to your browser and integrated into the website. We therefore have no influence on the scope of data collected by YouTube through the button, but we assume that your IP address is included in this data collection. The purpose and scope of data collection and further processing by YouTube, as well as your related rights and privacy protection settings, can be found in YouTube’s privacy policy: https://www.google.de/intl/en/policies/privacy/
If you are a YouTube member and do not want YouTube to collect data about you through our website and associate it with your member data stored at YouTube, you must log out of YouTube before visiting our website.
