Use of social media presences
We are represented with online presences in the social networks and platforms specified below. These presences allow us to communicate directly with customers, interested party and users. Furthermore, the presences serve the purpose of advertising our products and services. When you access our social media presences your data may be collected and stored automatically for the purpose of advertising and market research. User profiles are created from this data using pseudonyms. These can also be used, for example, to show you interest-related advertising inside and outside the platforms. Cookies are regularly used for this purpose; these enable the recognition of an Internet browser and store your interests and your usage behaviour.
The data processing is performed on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR due to our legitimate interest in direct communication with users and the optimisation of the design of our online presence.
If you have given your consent to the operators of the respective social media platforms to process your data, e.g. by ticking a box, the processing takes place on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) of GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time by contacting the operator of the respective platform without affecting the legality of the processing carried out with your consent up to the withdrawal.
If the operators of the social media platforms used by us have their registered office in the USA, your data may also be processed on servers in the USA.
The assertion of rights of data subjects and requests for information can most effectively be addressed directly to the providers of the platforms, since only they have access to your data and can take immediate measures and provide information. We will of course support you if required.
You will find more detailed information on the terms of use and data protection of the respective platform as well as a detailed description of the further data processing and the respective procedures available for objection on the web pages of the providers at:
