Your data may be transferred to the USA. For the USA, the EU Commission has issued an adequacy decision, the Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework (TADPF). Xing is not certified under the TADPF. Data transfers are based, among other things, on standard contractual clauses as appropriate safeguards for the protection of personal data, available at: https://commission.europa.eu/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection/standard-contractual-clauses-scc_de .
We use social network plug-ins on our website using the "2-click solution." This means that no connection to the social network servers is established without your express consent, and therefore no data is transmitted.
With the standard integration of plug-ins, when you visit the pages of our website that contain such a plug-in, a link is established between your computer and the servers of the provider of the social network. The plug-in is displayed on the page by a message to your browser. Both your IP address and the information which of our pages you have visited are transmitted to the provider's servers. This applies regardless of whether you are registered with the social network or logged in. Transmission also takes place for unregistered or not logged in users. If you are also logged in to the Facebook social network, this information is assigned to your personal user account. When you use the plug-in functions (e.g. by clicking the button), this information is also assigned to your user account. You can only prevent this by logging out before using the plug-in. So that you retain control over your data, we have decided to deactivate the corresponding button for the time being. You can recognize this by the grayed out button. Without your express consent - by activating the button - no link will be established to the social network's server and consequently no data will be transmitted.
Only when you activate the button will the button become active (highlighted in color) and a direct connection to the social network's servers will be established.
By activating the social network, you consent to the transfer of your data to the respective provider of the social network. This includes, among other things, your IP address and information about which of our pages you have visited. If you are connected to one or more of your social network accounts at the same time, the collected information will also be assigned to your corresponding profiles. You can only prevent this assignment by logging out of your social network user accounts before visiting our website and before activating the buttons.
The social networks listed below are integrated using the "2-click" function. Further information on the scope and purpose of data collection and use, as well as your rights and options for protecting your privacy, can be found in the linked privacy policies of the providers.
