Social Media Plugins
Social media plugins are plugins that allow you to "share" content with friends on social networks, such as Facebook and Twitter or similar service providers. We have no control over the settings of these plugins. If you would like to know more about what data can be collected via such plugins and how that data can be used by the respective service providers, please refer to the privacy policies of the service providers:
In order to better protect your data when you visit the ATHL8 website, social media plugins are integrated into our websites and app using the so-called “double-click method”. This method ensures that when you visit a website or app with social media plugins, no connection is established to the servers of the social media providers. No connection is established until you activate the social media plugin and consent to the transfer of the data. The content of the social media plugin is transmitted directly to your browser and embedded in our websites or app. By embedding the social media plugin, social media providers receive information about which of our websites or app you have visited, even if you do not have a profile with the social media provider or are not logged in. This information is transmitted directly to the servers of the social media providers and stored there. If you use the social media plugins, for example by clicking the like button, the respective information is transmitted directly to the server of the social media provider and stored there. The information will also be shown on social media or to your contacts, depending on your social media settings.
