VII. Third-party services


We use the following third-party services:
- Facebook Inc., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA (“Facebook”)

- Instagram Inc., subsidiary of Facebook Inc., 181 South Park Street, San Fransisco, CA 94107, USA (“Instagram”)

A third party may have its registered office located in a third country, i.e. a country in which the DPA has no direct legal implications. In this case, data shall only be transmitted if your consent is given, if an appropriate level of data protection remains intact or if another legal permit exists.
Google, Facebook/Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn and MailChimp operate under the Privacy Shield Agreement (EU-US Privacy Shield), which means that the provisions of the Privacy Shield Agreement correspond to the data protection level of the European Union and that this data will be processed accordingly.
The purpose of data processing is usually user-specific advertising, i.e. individualised advertising can be placed which corresponds to the presumed interests of the user or results from the user's previous usage behaviour. For this purpose, cookies are stored on the user's end devices. These cookies can store the usage behavior and thus represent the areas of interest. 
We would like to make it clear that in the case of requests for information and/or the assertion of other rights of affected parties, users should contact the respective third party providers directly. They have access rights to the user's data stored and processed there and can provide information and/or take appropriate measures. Should you contact us directly, we will try to support your request as best we can. However, as we have no access to the data stored by third parties, our scope for action is limited. 

Facebook, Instagram
We have integrated plugins of social networks and Facebook and Instagram services on our website www.meandmar.com

We use the 2-click method in order to ensure the highest possible level of protection and to take the principle of minimizing data into consideration. By doing so, any direct contact between the social network and you is only established when you actively click on the corresponding button.
No data will be collected, no activities are logged, and no surfing profile will be created unless the social network button has been clicked.
If the button is clicked, the respective service provider will receive information that you have accessed our website. No user account is required for this service; likewise, you do not need to be logged in if you have a user account. However, this data will be assigned directly to the account if you have a user account with the service provider and are logged in. This can be prevented by logging out before clicking the button in your user account of the corresponding service.
We have no way of influencing whether, to what extent, for what purpose and for how long the service providers and social networks collect personal data.
Further information on processing user data can be found here: 
 

VIII. Technical and organizational measures


We take technical and organizational measures to ensure that the security and protection requirements of the EU DPA are met, and that any personal data are protected against loss, destruction, manipulation or access by unauthorized individuals. The measures are always adapted to state-of-the-art technology.

Changes to the Privacy Policy
We reserve the right to amend this Privacy Policy at any time. You are asked to familiarize yourself regularly with the contents of the Privacy Policy.
