Social Media
We would like to get in touch with you and other interested parties, customers and users. We use various social networks for this purpose. You can find out which individual social networks we use in the following section.
As a rule, data is collected that is used for market research and advertising purposes. Such data includes the assignment of your visit to our website to your user account with the social network or the assignment by means of your stored cookies or your IP address. This is usually done by creating user profiles and the interests determined from them. This makes it possible to display tailored advertising, both on and off the social network. Therefore, as a rule, cookies may be set on you through the use of social networks. However, we would like to point out that we generally have no influence on what data is collected.
Through the social media presences, we would like to communicate information to you in the simplest and quickest way or give you the opportunity to share such. Therefore, unless you have consented to data processing on the respective platform, the legal basis is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (1) lit. f) GDPR. If you have consented on the respective platform, the legal basis for processing is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (1) lit. a) GDPR and Section 25 (1) TTDSG, if the consent within the meaning of the TTDSG relates to the setting of cookies or access to information on your terminal device. You have the right to revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. The lawfulness of the data processing until the revocation remains unaffected.
If you revoke your consent, request us to delete the data or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies, we will delete your data unless mandatory legal provisions prevent this. Cookies stored by you remain on your terminal device until you delete them.
The data processed as a result of your visit to our appearances on social media websites are classified as data processing initiated by us, and are thus subject to joint responsibility with the operator of the social media website pursuant to Art. 26 GDPR. Joint responsibility is limited to those processing operations where the purpose and means of the processing are decided jointly. If you wish to assert your data protection rights, you can do so both against us and against the operator of the social media website.
Furthermore, we would like to point out that your data may also be processed outside the European Union and that you therefore run the risk of not being able to properly enforce your rights.
