Personal data and its use / data the app is collecting about the user
We define personal data as all information about the factual and personal circumstances of a specific or unspecified natural person. Personal data also includes, for example, name, address, telephone number or date of birth.

Social media plug-ins
So-called social media plug-ins (e.g. Facebook, Google+ and Twitter, hereinafter referred to as "the providers") may be used on the Fleurop website. When you call up the Fleurop website, the browser sets up a direct connection with the provider's server. If you are logged on to the provider at the same time, details of your visit to the Fleurop website can be transmitted. These may be assigned to the user's account (e.g. on Facebook). If you would like to prevent the provider from gathering data about you through the Fleurop website, you must log out of the provider before visiting the Fleurop website. Even when you are logged out, the providers gather anonymised data via the social media plug-ins using cookies. If you subsequently log on to the provider, these data may be assigned to the corresponding profile. You will find information on how the providers gather and use the data in the privacy notices of the websites in question. If you do not want providers to gather information about you via these cookies, you can select "Block third-party cookies" in your browser settings. In this case, however, the performance of the website may be reduced and its use may become restricted or unavailable.
