Data processing through social networks
We maintain publicly accessible profiles on social networks. The specific social networks we use can be found below.
Social networks like Facebook, X, etc., can usually comprehensively analyze your user behavior when you visit their website or a website with integrated social media content (e.g., like buttons or ad banners). Visiting our social media presences triggers numerous data protection-relevant processing operations. Specifically:
If you are logged into your social media account and visit our social media presence, the operator of the social media portal can associate this visit with your user account. However, 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. This data collection occurs in this case, for example, via cookies stored on your 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. This way, interest-based advertising can be displayed to you within and outside the respective social media presence. If you have an account with the respective social network, interest-based advertising can be displayed on all devices where you are or were logged in.
Please also note that we cannot track all processing operations on the social media portals. Depending on the provider, additional processing operations may be carried out by the operators of the social media portals. For details, please refer to the terms of use and privacy policies of the respective social media portals.
Legal Basis
Our social media presence aims to ensure the most comprehensive presence possible on the internet. This constitutes a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The analysis processes initiated by social networks may be based on different legal grounds, which must be specified by the operators of the social networks (e.g., consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).
Responsible Party and Assertion of Rights
If 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 generally assert your rights (access, rectification, deletion, restriction of processing, data portability, and complaints) both against us and against the operator of the respective social media portal (e.g., against Facebook).
Please note that despite the shared responsibility with the operators of 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 corporate policies of the respective provider.
Storage period
The data collected directly by us through the social media presence will be deleted from our systems as soon as you request deletion, withdraw your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Stored cookies will remain on your device until you delete them. Mandatory legal provisions – particularly retention periods – remain unaffected.
We have no influence on the storage duration of your data that is stored by the social network operators for their own purposes. For details, please refer directly to the operators of the social networks (e.g., in their privacy policies, see below).
Your Rights
You have the right at any time to obtain information free of charge about the origin, recipients, and purpose of your stored personal data. You also have the right to object, the right to data portability, and the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority. Furthermore, you can request the correction, blocking, deletion, and, under certain circumstances, the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
