§ 6
/ OUR SOCIAL MEDIA OFFERINGS

We maintain online presences within social networks and platforms in order to be able to communicate with you as customers, interested parties and users active there and to inform them about our services there.

In the process, user data is also processed outside the European Union. This may result in risks for the users, for example by making it more difficult to enforce the rights of the users. With regard to US providers that are certified under the Privacy Shield, we point out that they thereby commit to comply with the EU's data protection standards.

As a rule, the networks and platforms will process the users' data for market research and advertising purposes and create user profiles from the usage behaviour and resulting interests of the users. The usage profiles can in turn be used, for example, to place advertisements within and outside the platforms that are intended to correspond to the presumed interests of the users. For these purposes, cookies are usually stored on the users' computers, in which the usage behaviour and the interests of the users are stored. In the usage profiles, data can also be stored independently of the devices used by the users (especially if the users are registered and logged in to the respective platforms).

The legal basis for the processing of users' personal data is our legitimate interests in effectively informing users and communicating with users pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. DSGVO. If users are asked by the respective platform providers for consent to data processing (i.e. declare their consent e.g. by ticking a checkbox or confirming a button), the legal basis for processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a. DSGVO.

Please note the respective data protection guidelines and information of the providers named below, which can be accessed via a link below, and the data processing and objection options (opt-out) there.

In the case of requests for information and the assertion of user rights, we would also like to point out that these can be asserted most effectively with the providers. Only the providers have access to the users' data and can take appropriate measures and provide information directly. If you still need help, you can contact us.
