3 Data processing in social media with regard to the operators of social media

When visiting our social media appearances, the social media operators may collect personal data, such as your IP address and further information gathered using cookies. Personal data will be used to provide us with statistical feedback about the use of our social media appearance. The collected personal data will be processed by the social media operator and may be transferred to countries outside the European Union. The information the operator of the respective social network receives and how it is used is described in the privacy statements of each social network. You can also find their contact information there.

Further information can be found here:

As it is not conclusively and clearly stated by the social media operators, it is unknown to us in what way the social media operators use data, gathered from visits to our social media site, for their own purposes, to what extent activities on the social media site are attributed to individual users, how long the operators store this data and whether data from the social media sites is shared with third parties.

When visiting our social media appearances, the IP address of your device will be disclosed to the operator of the social network. Social media networks additionally store information on their users devices so that they might be able to match IP addresses to individuals.

If you are currently logged in to the respective social network as a user, you will find a cookie with your individual identifier in this social network on your device. This will allow you to understand that you visited a page and how you used it. Based on this data content or advertising can be tailored to suit you.

If you want to avoid this, you should log out of the respective social network or deactivate the function "stay logged in", delete the existing cookies on your device and stop and restart your browser. In this way, login information which you can be immediately identified by, will be deleted. This allows you to use our social media appearances without revealing your identifier. When you access interactive features of our social media appearance (like, comment, share, news, etc.), a login screen will appear. After logging in, you will be again recognizable as a specific user / user for the used social network.

These rights shall not apply to the extent that processing is necessary:

You also have the right to know which recipients have received your personal data.

5.6 Right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR)

You have the right to receive your personal data, which you provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. Also, you have the right to transmit those data to another controller, where

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you shall have the right to complain to a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your residence, place of work or place of alleged infringement, if you believe that the processing of the personal data concerning you is against the infringes of the GDPR.

The supervisory authority to which the complaint has been submitted shall inform you of the status and results of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy according to Article 78 GDPR.
