Data processing by us

Public relations

The data you provide on our social media pages, such as usernames, comments, videos, pictures, likes, public messages, etc. are published by the social media platform and are not processed by us for any other purpose at any time. We only reserve the right to delete content if this is necessary. Where appropriate, we share your content on our site if this is a function of the social media platform and communicate with you via the social media platform.

 

If you send us an enquiry on the social media platform, depending on the content, we may also refer you to other secure communication channels that guarantee confidentiality. For example, you have the option at any time to send us your enquiries to our address or e-mail address stated in the imprint. It is your own responsibility to choose the appropriate communication channel.

The legal basis for the aforementioned processing of your data is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. We process the data in our legitimate interest of carrying out public relations work for our company and being able to communicate with you.

Data processing as a joint controller

For some processing activities we act as a joint controller with the respective operator of the social media platform.

Therefore, we have concluded the necessary agreement in accordance with Art. 26 GDPR, provided that the operator of the social media platform offers this option.

You can find the essential components of joint responsibility in the following section.

Statistics (Insights)

The social media platforms regularly provide statistics (insights) based on usage data that contain information about your interaction with our social media site. We cannot determine the performance and provision of these statistics.

We process the aforementioned information (statistics) in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR in the legitimate interest of validating the use of our social media pages and improving our content in target group-oriented manner.

Target group advertising

We also use the mentioned social media platforms to place target group-oriented advertising. 

For this purpose, we use target group definitions that are provided to us by the social media provider. We use only anonymous target group definitions - we define characteristics based on, for example, general demographics, behaviour, interests and connections. The social media provider uses this information to display advertisements to its users. The legal basis for this is the consent that the provider of the social media platform has requested from its users.

If you wish to withdraw your consent, please use the withdrawal options provided by the the social media provider, as the social media provider acts as controller for this processing.

We or the social media provider also use publicly available data for target group definition. The legal basis for this processing is then Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The legitimate interest on our part in this context is to define a target group that is as suitable as possible. We never use sensitive categories of personal data mentioned in Articles 9 and 10 GDPR (e.g. political opinions, sexual orientation) to define target groups.

 

We do not use target group definition based on location data. Within the scope of the target group definition, we do not pass on any personal data to the social media provider.

Data processing by the social media provider

The social media provider uses web tracking methods. The web tracking can also take place regardless of whether you are registered on the social media platform or not.

Therefore we would like to point out that it cannot be excluded that the social media provider uses and evaluates your profile and behavioural data for its own purposes. We have no influence on the processing of your data by the social media provider. Please keep this in mind when using the social media platform.

For more information on data processing by the social media provider, configuration options to protect your privacy and further objection options, please refer to the operator's privacy policy.

Storage period

We delete your personal data when they are no longer required for the aforementioned processing purposes and there are no legal retention obligations that prevent us from deleting the data.

Your rights as a user

As a user, you have the possibility to demand the following rights from us as well as from the operator of the social media platform if the requirements are fulfilled:
