3. GOOGLE ANALYTICS

This website uses Google Analytics. More information about how Google Analytics is used by ELFIN can be found here: http://www.google.com/analytics/learn/privacy.html

To provide website visitors with more choice on how their data is collected by Google Analytics, Google have developed the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. The add-on communicates with the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js) to indicate that information about the website visit should not be sent to Google Analytics. The Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on does not prevent information from being sent to the website itself or to other web analytics services.

4. SOCIAL MEDIA PLUGINS

For data protection reasons, no social plugins are integrated directly into our website. Therefore, when going to our page no data is transferred so social-media services, e.g. Facebook, Twitter, XING or Google+. Hence, the creation of profiles by third parties is impossible.

Nevertheless, users have the possibility to share selected sites and articles by clicking on the Facebook, Twitter, XING or Google+ button. In addition, when going to such a site they are able to see how often the content already has been shared in the past. For that process we use the so called “Shariff” solution, developed by the c’t magazine, to offer a privacy compliant alternative to the regular social plugins.

What’s behind it? In a first step, all data and functions which are necessary to display the Facebook, Twitter, Xing or Google+ buttons, are provided by our Webserver. Only if you are clicking on the particular button with the intent to share the site or the article, data is transferred to the operator of the respective social media service.

5. EXPLANATIONS OF SECURITY MEASURES
