Our social media presences:
This data protection declaration applies to the following social media presences:
Data processing by social networks:
We maintain publicly accessible profiles on social networks. The specific social networks used by us can be found below. Social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, etc. can generally comprehensively analyze your user behavior when you visit their website or a website with integrated social media content (e.g., like buttons or advertising banners). Visiting our social media presences triggers numerous data protection-relevant processing operations. In detail:
-
If you are logged into your social media account and visit our social media presence, the operator of the social media portal can assign this visit to your user account. Your personal data may also be collected even if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective social media portal. In this case, data collection may be done, for example, through cookies stored on your end device or by collecting your IP address.
-
With the help of the data collected in this way, the operators of the social media portals can create user profiles in which your preferences and interests are stored. In this way, interest-based advertising can be displayed to you inside and outside of the respective social media presence. If you have an account with the respective social network, interest-based advertising can be displayed on all devices on which you are logged in or were logged in.
-
Please note that we cannot trace all processing processes on the social media portals. Depending on the provider, additional processing processes may therefore possibly be carried out by the operators of the social media portals. For details, please refer to the terms of use and privacy policy of the respective social media portals.
Legal basis:
Our social media presences are intended to ensure the most comprehensive presence on the Internet. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. The analysis processes initiated by the social networks may be based on different legal bases, which must be specified by the operators of the social networks (e.g., consent within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR).
Controller and assertion of rights:
When you visit one of our social media presences (e.g., Facebook), we are jointly responsible with the operator of the social media platform for the data processing operations triggered during this visit. You can assert your rights (information, correction, deletion, restriction of processing, data portability, and complaint) in principle both against us and against the operator of the respective social media portal (e.g., against Facebook). Please note that despite the joint responsibility with the operators of the social media portals, we do not have full influence on the data processing operations of the social media portals. Our possibilities are largely determined by the company policy of the respective provider.
Storage duration:
The data directly collected by us via the social media presence will be deleted from our systems as soon as you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to store it, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Stored cookies remain on your end device until you delete them. Mandatory legal provisions, in particular retention periods, remain unaffected. We have no influence on the storage duration of your data that is stored by the operators of the social networks for their own purposes. For details, please contact the operators of the social networks directly (e.g., in their privacy policy, see below).
Your rights:
You have the right to receive information free of charge at any time about the origin, recipient, and purpose of your stored personal data. You also have a right to object, to data portability, and a right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. Furthermore, you can demand the correction, blocking, deletion, and, under certain circumstances, the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
