Data processing by social networks

We maintain publicly accessible profiles on social networks. The social networks we use in detail can be found further below.

Social networks such as Facebook, X etc. can generally analyse your user behaviour comprehensively when you visit their website or a website with integrated social media content (e.g. like buttons or advertising banners). By visiting our social media presences, numerous data-protection-relevant processing operations are triggered. In detail:

If you are logged into your social media account and visit our social media presence, the operator of the social media portal may be able to attribute this visit to your user account. Under certain circumstances, 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. In this case, this data collection takes place, for example, via cookies stored on your device or by recording your IP address.

Using 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 both within and outside the respective social media presence. If you have an account with the respective social network, the interest-based advertising can be displayed on all devices on which you are or have been logged in.

Please also note that we cannot fully trace all processing operations on the social media portals. Depending on the provider, further processing operations may therefore be carried out by the operators of the social media portals. Details on this can be found in the terms of use and privacy policies of the respective social media portals.

__________________________

Legal basis

Our social media presences are intended to ensure the broadest possible presence on the internet. This is a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR. The analysis processes initiated by the social networks may be based on differing legal grounds, which are to be specified by the operators of the social networks (e.g. consent within the meaning of Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR).

__________________________

Controller and exercising your 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 generally exercise your rights (access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and complaint) both against us and against the operator of the respective social media portal (e.g. against Facebook).

Please note that, despite our joint responsibility with the social media portal operators, we do not have full influence over the data processing operations of the social media portals. Our options are largely determined by the corporate policy of the respective provider.

__________________________

Storage period

Data collected directly by us via the social media presence is deleted from our systems as soon as you request its deletion, withdraw your consent to storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Stored cookies remain on your device until you delete them. Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

We have no influence on the storage period of your data that is stored by the operators of the social networks for their own purposes. For details on this, please inform yourself directly from the operators of the social networks (e.g. in their privacy policy, see below).

__________________________

Your rights

You have the right at any time to obtain free information 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 competent supervisory authority. Furthermore, you can request the rectification, blocking, erasure and, under certain circumstances, the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
