2. Data control in case of links to social media platforms
Some web pages include buttons for social media networks (such as Facebook, Google, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, Xing, and LinkedIn) that you can use to recommend the services of Corporate Communications at Deutsche Telekom AG to your friends and family.
To ensure you retain full control of the data, the used buttons provide direct contact between the respective social network and the visitor only once you actively click on the button.
When the social media plug-in is activated or links in the pictogram are used, also for the purpose of sharing content (Art. 6 (1) a GDPR), the following data can be forwarded to the social media provider: IP address, browser information, operating system, screen resolution, installed browser plug-ins (such as Adobe Flash Player), previous website if you followed a link (referrer), URL of the current website, etc.
