6. Data processing by social media networks

We maintain publicly accessible profiles on various social media networks. You’ll find the details of the social media networks we use below.

In general, social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, etc. can comprehensively analyze your user behavior when you visit their website or a website with integrated social media content (e.g. “like” buttons or advertising banners). Visiting our social media profiles triggers numerous processing operations relevant to data protection and privacy. Details of these are given below.
When you are logged into your social media account and visit our social media profile, the operator of the social media portal can associate this visit with your user account. However, your personal data may also be collected under certain circumstances if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective social media portal. In this case, this data collection takes place, for example, via cookies that are stored on your end device or by recording your IP address. In this case, this data collection takes place via cookies that are stored on your end device or by recording your IP address, for example.

With the help of the data thus collected, the operators of the social media portals can create user profiles in which your preferences and interests are stored. This enables them to show you interest-based advertising inside and outside the relevant social media profile. Provided you have an account with the respective social media network, the interest-based advertising may be displayed on all devices on which you are or were logged in.

Please note that we cannot track all processing on the social media portals. Depending on the provider, further processing operations may be carried out by the operators of the social media portals. For details, please refer to the terms of use and data protection policies of the relevant social media portals.

Legal basis

Our social media profiles are intended to ensure the most comprehensive presence possible on the Internet. This is a legitimate interest as defined by article 6, paragraph 1, letter f of the GDPR. The analysis processes initiated by the social media networks are based, where applicable, on divergent legal premises to be specified by the operators of the social media networks (e.g. consent as defined in article 6, paragraph 1, letter a of the GDPR).

The controller and the assertion of rights

When you visit one of our social media profiles (e.g. on Facebook), we are jointly responsible with the operator of the respective social media platform for the data processing operations triggered during this visit within the meaning of article 26 of the GDPR. Fundamentally, you can assert your rights (the right to information pursuant to article 15, the right to rectification pursuant to article 16, the right to erasure (right to be forgotten) pursuant to article 17, the right to restriction of processing pursuant to article 18, the right to data portability pursuant to article 20, and the right to lodge a complaint pursuant to article 77 of the GDPR) both vis-à-vis us and vis-à-vis the operator of the relevant social media portal (e.g., vis-à-vis Facebook).

Please note that, despite our joint responsibility with the social media portal operators pursuant to article 26 of the GDPR, we do not have full control over the data processing operations of the social media portals. Our options depend to a large extent on the corporate policy of the relevant provider.

Social networks are obliged to comply with EU data protection and privacy standards when offering their services to EU citizens. Nevertheless, risks from processing in so-called third countries cannot be excluded.
