The plug-in provider receives the notification that you have accessed the corresponding website of our online offer if you click on the marked field and thereby activate it. In addition, the data specified in Art. 3 of this privacy statement will be transmitted. In the case of Facebook and Xing, the IP address is anonymised immediately after collection, according to the respective provider in Germany.

We recommend that you log out regularly after using a social network, especially before activating the button to avoid any allocation to your profile with the plug-in provider.

There is no obligation to provide your real name, the use of pseudonyms is possible. We use the so-called double opt-in procedure for registration, i.e. your registration is not complete until you have previously confirmed your registration via a confirmation email sent to you for this purpose by clicking on the link contained therein. If your confirmation is not received within [24 hours], your registration will be automatically deleted from our database.

§ 10 Data security

We use the most common SSL (Secure Socket Layer) method in connection with the highest level of encryption supported by your browser. Usually this is a 256 bit encryption.

If an individual page of our website is transmitted in encrypted form, this will be indicated by the key or lock symbol in the lower status bar of your browser.
We also use appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction or unauthorised access by third parties. Our security measures are continuously optimised in accordance with technological developments.

§ 11 Amendments to the Privacy Statement

We reserve the right to amend this privacy statement from time to time in the future, in particular to incorporate changes in jurisdiction or legislation. We therefore recommend that you regularly visit this website to stay informed about the protection and processing of your data.

§ 12 General information

We at L.B. Bohle also take internal data protection very seriously.
The relevant statutory provisions require personal data to be processed in such a way as to guarantee the rights of the data subjects to the confidentiality and integrity of their data. According to these regulations, it is prohibited to process personal data without authorisation or unlawfully or to intentionally or unintentionally violate the security of the processing in a way that leads to destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or unauthorised access.
Our employees have therefore been obliged by us to maintain confidentiality and in particular to comply with the data protection regulations for maintaining confidentiality in accordance with Art. 5 (1) (f), Art. 32 (4) General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Employees are therefore prohibited from processing or using personal data without authorisation or making it accessible to third parties in any form. If external service providers are commissioned by L.B. Bohle to process personal data for the first time, they are contractually obliged to comply with the requirements of Art. 28 General Data Protection Regulation.
