This Website includes several social media functions including, but not limited to,
As part of its online offerings, AirPlus offers you the opportunity to distribute and recommend content in social media. When you visit this Website and use the recommendation functions, AirPlus will share the URL with the social media you selected.
This Website includes the following social media plug-ins equipped with the two-click solution:
With the two-click solution, your data will not be transmitted to the respective social media network company until after the respective plug-in button has been activated (consent).
To this end, this Website uses the social sharing button developed as part of c’t magazine’s Shariff project to protect visitors’ privacy against prying social media such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Xing or LinkedIn. To share pages with friends, visitors only need to click on the Shariff button.
Thanks to the Shariff button you can use social media without unnecessarily compromising your privacy. Shariff replaces the conventional share buttons offered by social media and protects your browsing behaviour from prying eyes. Nonetheless, you only have to click the button if you want to share information.
Conventional social media buttons transmit your user data to the social media every time you access their pages and provide precise information regarding your browsing behaviour (user tracking) even if you are not logged in or have joined the respective social medium. In contrast, the Shariff button only establishes direct contact between the social medium and you, the visitor, when you actively click the button. In this way, Shariff prevents you from leaving a digital trace on every page you visit.
Please note that AirPlus has no knowledge of or influence on how social media handle information you shared and whether this information is provided to other websites. AirPlus suggests that you read the respective data protection notices carefully.
If you have any questions regarding data protection in connection with this Website or the services offered through this Website, please contact AirPlus’ Data Protection Officer at
If you contact us by e-mail, your communications will not be encoded.
In addition, you can contact AirPlus via the contact form or AirPlus’ social media pages.
