6. Special information on data processing on YouTube, Facebook fan page and Instagram

This privacy policy applies to the following social media presences

Data processing by social networks
We maintain publicly accessible profiles on social networks. You can find the social networks we use below.
Social networks such as Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube can generally 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 presences triggers a variety of data processing operations. Below, we provide you with an overview of which of your personal data we collect, use, and store when you visit our profiles.
In detail:
When you visit our profiles, your personal data is collected, used, and stored not only by us but also by the operators of the respective social network. This occurs regardless of whether you are logged into your social network or not, or even if you do not have a profile on the respective social network.
Using the data collected in this way, the operators of the respective social network can create user profiles that contain your preferences and interests. This allows them to display interest-based advertising both within and outside of the respective social network. If you have an account with the respective social network, the interest-based advertising can be displayed on all devices on which you are or were logged in.
Please note that we are not necessarily able to trace the individual data processing operations and their scope. These vary depending on the operator of the respective social network. Details about the collection and storage of your personal data, as well as the type, scope, and purpose of its use by the operator of the respective social network, can be found in the terms of use and privacy policies of the respective operator.

Legal basis
The data processing within the framework of our social networks is intended to improve the user experience when visiting our fan pages in a target group-oriented manner and to ensure the most comprehensive presence possible on the Internet.
The legal basis for data processing is therefore a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The analysis processes initiated by the social networks may be based on different legal bases, which must be specified by the operators of the social networks (e.g., consent within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR).

Responsible person and assertion of rights
If you visit one of our social networks (e.g., Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn), we and the operator of the respective social network are jointly responsible for the data processing operations initiated during this visit. You can generally assert your rights (rights to information, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, and complaints) both against us and against the operator of the respective social network (e.g., Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn).
Please note that despite our shared responsibility with the social media portal operators, we do not have full influence over the data processing practices of the respective social network. Our options depend largely on the company policies of the respective provider.

Storage period
The data we collect directly via social networks will be deleted from our systems as soon as you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Stored cookies remain on your device until you delete them. Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.
We have no influence on the storage period of your data, which is stored by the operators of the social networks for their own purposes. For details, please contact the operators of the social networks directly (e.g., in their privacy policy, see below).

Your rights
As a data subject, you have the following rights:
– You have the right to obtain information from us free of charge about the processing of your personal data within the scope of Art. 15 GDPR;
– You have the right to request that we immediately rectify any inaccurate personal data concerning you and/or complete any incomplete personal data within the scope of Art. 16 GDPR;

– You have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for reasons arising from your particular situation, within the scope of Art. 21 GDPR, provided that the processing is based on an overriding interest or your data is used for the purpose of direct marketing;
– You have the right to withdraw your consent to data processing at any time, without affecting the legality of the data processing carried out on the basis of the consent up to the time of withdrawal;
– You have the right to complain to a supervisory authority about our processing of your data.
