6. SOCIAL MEDIA PLUG-INS

On the KUNST HAUS WIEN website, you will find social media plug-ins from facebook.com, Instagram.com, and youtube.com. These plug-ins are symbolized by the miniature logos of their respective providers. As soon as you surf to a page on a website that includes such a logo, a connection is automatically made to the server of the social media provider in question. This social media provider then receives information on the pages that you visit. KUNST HAUS WIEN has no way of influencing what data is transferred to the respective providers, and the transfer of this data takes place even if you do not click on any of the plug-in symbols. If you are logged into Facebook, Instagram, or YouTube parallel to your visit to our website, these plug-ins can also connect with your accounts on the respective social media networks. So if you click on “Like” or leave a comment via such a plug-in, the plug-in will transfer this information to the social media provider and associate it with your existing account on their network. If you do not consent to this taking place, you must log out of your social media account before clicking on the associated plug-in or install an add-on that blocks social media plug-ins in the software that you are using.
Please note that for social media plug-ins, the personal data policies of the respective providers (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube) apply.
