Use of the Facebook social network

Social plug-ins from the facebook.com social network, which is operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA ("Facebook"), are used on our website. These plug-ins can be recognized on our website by the Facebook logo and the text www.facebook.com.

Whenever you visit a page containing this plug-in/logo on our website, a direct connection is established to the Facebook servers. The content of the plug-in is then transmitted directly to your browser by Facebook and linked by this means to our website.

By interacting with the plug-in, information is sent to Facebook. This indicates that you have visited the page marked in this way as a visitor to our website.

If you are logged in as a member of Facebook, Facebook can assign this information to your personal Facebook user account. If you use the plug-in functions (e.g. click the "Like" button or make a "Comment"), this information is also assigned to your Facebook account, stored there and can be evaluated and further used by Facebook. medi cannot provide any guarantee as to specifically what data in addition to this is transmitted to the Facebook server via this plug-in.

More information on how Facebook collects and uses the data, on your rights in this respect and on possible ways to protect your individual privacy is given in the Facebook Data Use Policy and in your Internet browser user manual.
