Social Media Plugins allow websites to integrate social media functionality for the convenience of users. Such Social Media Plugins are independent extensions of the providers of the respective social media network. BuildingMinds has no influence over the type and amount of data collected through such Social Media Plugins and stored by their providers. If you use Social Media Plugins you will be sending identifiable information to the respective social media platform. If one Social Media Plugin provider has placed cookies on your system, it can record your browsing behavior and create detailed user profiles using tracking data.
The functions of Social Media Plugins are deactivated by default to prevent any automatic disclosure of the user data to the provider. Social Media Plugins only send data once they have been activated, i.e., clicked by the user. Your Internet browser then sends the log files (including your IP address) directly to the Social Media Plugin provider’s server where they may be stored. The server may be located outside the EU or the EEA (e.g., in the USA). If you want to prevent a data exchange between your system and Social Media Plugins, you should log out of the social media before using the Site. You should also activate private mode in your browser's data privacy settings. It also helps to deactivate or limit cookies in your browser settings so that third parties cannot track your browsing behaviour. You can also prevent Social Media Plugins from loading altogether by using a script blocker as an add-on in your browser. Any comments or activity arising from persons using Social Media Plugins is not controlled or endorsed by BuildingMinds and BuildingMinds shall not be held responsible or liable for such. Persons who share BuildingMinds’ content via Social Media Plugins are not authorized to speak for or represent BuildingMinds. Their views and opinions must be strictly regarded as their own and not BuildingMinds'. This Privacy and Cookie Policy is not intended to be applicable to any linked, non-BuildingMinds website. Whenever you open a link to other websites, you should exercise caution and read the privacy policies of the website in question.
