Types of processed personal data
By using our channels, all personal data you post, such as images, photos, comments, and likes, are processed. Furthermore, the data processing concerns all personal data you transmit to us via the chat or messaging function of the individual social media, especially the date and time of the message, your username, and data about the content of the message.
Data processing by the providers of social media platforms
The respective provider of the social media platform is an independent controller for the processing of the personal data of its users and processes the data for its own purposes and in its own interest. You can find the respective data protection information of the platform operators in the list above.
We generally have no influence on the data processing of the respective platform operator. Should we have a limited possibility of influence, we will choose the most data protection-friendly option. This mainly concerns visitor statistics for our appearances, for which our company and the respective platform operator are joint controllers.
Data processing by our company
We use all personal data you post on our channels only as part of our public relations work for the operation of our company's social media channels. This may also include the deletion of some posts if necessary in individual cases. Your data is not processed by our company for any other purposes.
The legal basis for the processing is the legitimate interest in effective public relations and in the exchange with the users of our appearances on social media according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit:. f. GDPR. Your interests or fundamental freedoms and rights are not considered to be overriding, as you have voluntarily chosen this form of interaction and communication.
This legitimate interest in effective public relations also includes the use of visitor statistics for reach measurement.
Data you send us via the chat or messaging function of the social media platforms is processed for the respective purpose of your contact. This includes, in particular, the answering and forwarding of your inquiry, application, or comments. The data processing in our company is carried out according to the same principles as in communication via our other communication channels.
The processing of this information is carried out depending on the purpose of the contact based on your consent according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit:. a GDPR, for the fulfillment of a contract according to Art. 6 para.1 lit:. b GDPR, for purposes of the employment relationship according to § 26 BDSG, as well as based on our legitimate interest in effective public relations according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit:. f GDPR. Your interests or fundamental freedoms and rights are not considered to be overriding, as you have voluntarily chosen this form of interaction and communication.
Data transfer to a third country
The social media platforms we use are mostly based in the USA. This means that all your data is transferred to an insecure third country where there is no comparable level of data protection as in the European Union. This data transfer is carried out by your voluntary use of the platforms according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a, Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.
Secure communication
We would like to point out that the platform operators use web tracking and profiling systems that create extensive profiles about the users of these platforms. However, we have no influence on these systems.
Furthermore, communication over the internet can never be completely secured. Therefore, please do not transmit particularly sensitive data and personal information, especially applications, to us via our social media channels. You can also contact us at any time via our other communication channels provided in the imprint.
