6. Our Social Media Presence

This Privacy Policy Applies to the Following Social Media Profiles

Data Processing by Social Networks

We maintain publicly accessible profiles on social networks. The individual social networks we use are listed below.

Social networks such as Facebook or X (formerly Twitter) can usually analyze your user behavior extensively when you visit their websites or a website with integrated social media content (e.g., like buttons or advertising banners).
Visiting our social media profiles triggers numerous data protection-relevant processing operations.

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.
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 occur, for example, via cookies stored on your device or by capturing your IP address.

With the help of the data collected in this way, the operators of social media portals can create user profiles that store your preferences and interests.
This allows interest-based advertising to be displayed to you both inside and outside the respective social media presence.
If you have an account with the respective social network, this interest-based advertising can be displayed on all devices on which 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 therefore 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 presences aim to ensure the broadest possible visibility on the Internet.
This is a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
The analysis processes initiated by social networks may be based on different legal bases to be specified by the providers of the social networks (e.g., consent as per Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).

Controller and Exercise of Rights

If you visit one of our social media sites (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 exercise your rights (access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, and complaint) both against us and the operator of the respective social media portal (e.g., Facebook).

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

Storage Duration

The data collected directly by us via the social media presence is deleted from our systems as soon as you request deletion,
revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies.
Stored cookies remain on your end device until you delete them.
Mandatory legal provisions – especially 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 privacy policies of the social network operators (see links below).

Your Rights

You have the right at any time to receive information free of charge about the origin, recipient, and purpose of your stored personal data.
You also have the right to object, to data portability, and the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.
Furthermore, you can request the rectification, blocking, deletion, and, under certain circumstances, the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
