FACEBOOK

Schurman Company’s website uses Social Plugins (“Plugins”) of the social network facebook.com, operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”). Plugins have been signaled with a Facebook logotype and/or by the added “Like” or “Share”. If you access a page on our website that has one of these plugins, your browser makes a direct connection with Facebook’s server. The content of the plugin is then directly transmitted from Facebook to your browser and from there it is linked to the website. Through the connection of the plugins, Facebook receives the information that you have requested a specific page of our website. If you are registered on Facebook, it may assign your visit to your Facebook account, even if you do not click on the plugin. When interacting with the plugins, for instance, if you click on the “Like” button or post a comment, your browser also sends the information directly to Facebook, where it is memorized. Please, check the purpose and volume of data record and other data uses by Facebook in the instructions relating to Facebook’s data protection, as well as your rights and setting options in this regard in order to protect your private sphere. If you do not wish Facebook to pick up your personal data from our website, you must unsubscribe from Facebook before visiting our website.
