That information will possibly be transmitted to third parties if this is prescribed by law or if third parties process those data. In no event will your IP address be aggregated with other data of Google. The IP addresses will by anonymised, so that an allocation is not possible (IP Masking).

 6. Social Media plug-ins

On its website, SOLEOS uses social plug-ins of the social network services LinkedIn, Xing and Twitter, on the basis of the first sentence of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, to make SOLEOS better known thereby. These functions are offered by

  • LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Irland, for LinkedIn,

If you call up a page of the website which contains such a plug-in, a direct connection between your browser and the server of the respective social network service will be established. Thereby, the respective social network service will obtain the information that you have visited the website of SOLEOS with your IP address. If you click the “button” of one of the social network services while you are logged in to your corresponding network account, you can link the contents of the website of SOLEOS on your network profile.

  • to request the restriction of the processing in accordance with Article 18 GDPR if the accuracy of the data is contested by you, if the processing is unlawful but you reject their deletion, or if SOLEOS no longer requires the data, while you require them to assert, exercise or defend legal rights, or if you have objected to the processing in accordance with Article 21 GDPR;

The security measures of SOLEOS will be constantly improved in accordance with the technological development.

10. Google Web Fonts

This site uses so-called web fonts provided by Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland) for the uniform display of fonts. When you call up a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into its browser cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly. We have integrated the Google fonts locally, i.e. on our web server – not on Google’s servers. As a result, there is no connection to Google servers and thus no data transfer or storage.

Google Web Fonts are used in the interest of a uniform and appealing presentation of our online offers. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.

If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font will be used by your computer.

You can find more information about Google Web Fonts at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google’s privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.
