10. Social media
You can find us in various social media with our own presence. Through this, we would like to provide you with a broad, multimedia offering and exchange information with you on topics that are important to you. In addition to the respective provider of a social network, we also collect and process personal user data on our presences in the social networks.
We link on this website to our presences in social networks. For this purpose, we have linked a graphic of the respective network. No data is transmitted to the operators of the social networks when you load our website, but only when you actively follow the link to our profile on the respective social network.
When you access our profile page on a social network, the operator of the social network may set cookies on your terminal device, regardless of whether you have an account with the network or whether you are logged in there. Cookies are data packets that mark the user’s end devices with a specific identifier. Cookies are primarily set in order to be able to display personalized advertising to visitors to the social networks, including our profile pages.
This is done, for example, by displaying to the user on the pages of the social network advertisements from advertising partners of the social network whose websites the user has previously visited. In addition, cookies make it possible to create statistics about the use of our profile page (e.g. number of page views, user categories).
If we receive such statistical analyses from the operator of the social network, the data is anonymized by the operator beforehand, i.e. it is not possible for us to assign usage data to an individual user. If you are logged in to the social network, however, the operator of the social network may be able to assign the visit to our profile on the social network to your account there.
At least the following data is processed by the respective social network:
- IP address
- Date, time
- Visited page in social network
In addition, depending on the operator, other categories of data may also be processed, e.g.:
- Referral URL (page from which the user reached a subpage of the social network).
- URL of the internal and external pages accessed from the social network.
- End device of the user (desktop, smartphone, tablet)
- User language settings
- Region of the user
- If you are logged into your user account of the respective network during this time, the network operator may be able to assign the collected information of the specific visit to your personal account.
If you interact via a “Share” button of the respective network, this information can also be stored in the user’s personal user account and possibly published. If you want to prevent the collected information from being directly assigned to your user account, you must log out of the respective social network before clicking on the graphic.
You can also configure the respective user account accordingly.
We have no influence on which data is collected and transmitted by the operator of the social network, to which third-party recipients a transmission by the operator of the social network takes place and how long the data is stored by the operator of the social network. In this regard, we refer to the privacy policy of the respective social network.
The purpose pursued by us in processing your data on our profile page on the respective social network is to provide information about our offers and services and to respond to any inquiries on our profile page. The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. To this extent, public relations work is covered by our legitimate interests within the meaning of the provision. The legal basis for the use of social plugins such as “share” buttons is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR.
According to the case law of the European Court of Justice, we are jointly responsible with the operator of the respective social network for the operation of our profile page with regard to compliance with data protection regulations. In this context, the operator of the social network provides the associated IT infrastructure as well as the website of the social network and is basically the primary contact when it comes to the processing of your data on the pages of the social network (e.g. information or deletion). With regard to data processing on social networks, we therefore recommend that you contact the respective social network directly for information requests or other questions regarding user rights, such as a deletion request, as only the operators of the social networks have full access to your user data. If you no longer wish to have the data processing described here in the future, you can remove the connection of your user profile to our site by using the functions “I no longer like this page” and/or “Do not subscribe to this page”. However, you can also assert your legal rights against us. In this case, we will forward your requests to the operator of the social network.
