Linking to social media platforms

The Vernetzungs- und Kompetenzstelle Open Access Brandenburg refrains from using so-called social plug-ins for its website and thus follows a recommendation by the Brandenburg State Commissioner for Data Protection and the Right to Inspect Records.

Links to central social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Vimeo, Instagram) from the UASP website are established by means of an image link element that does not pass on any personal data such as IP addresses to these or other networks.

If you follow the links while visiting our website and are logged in to the respective platform via your personal user account, the information that you have visited our website will be forwarded to the platform and stored there. To prevent this, you must log out of your social media account beforehand.

Information on the purpose and scope of data collection by the aforementioned platforms, as well as the further processing and use of personal data there, as well as setting options for the protection of privacy, can be found on the websites of the respective platforms.

If you have any questions about the privacy policy, please contact us at ben.kaden@open-access-brandenburg.de or webredaktion@fh-potsdam.de.
