We maintain publicly accessible profiles on social networks. The social networks used by us in detail can be found below.

With the help of the data collected in this way, the operators of the social media portals can create user profiles in which your preferences and interests are stored. In this way, you can be shown interest-based advertising inside and outside the respective social media presence. Provided you have an account with the respective social network, the interest-based advertising may be displayed on all devices on which you are or were logged in. Please also note that we cannot track all processing on the social media portals. Depending on the provider, further processing operations may therefore be carried out by the operators of the social media portals. For details, please refer to the terms of use and data protection provisions of the respective social media portals.

2.1 Legal basis for data processing

Our social media presences are intended to ensure the most comprehensive presence possible on the Internet. This is a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO. The analysis processes initiated by the social networks may be based on different legal bases, which are to be specified by the operators of the social networks (e.g. consent within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. a DSGVO).

2.2 Purposes of data processing

The operation of the social media profiles is necessary for a targeted and balanced, presence and recruitment. The associated processing of your data when visiting the site is done for this purpose. Statistical studies show that the use of media and the information behavior of Internet users is changing. More and more sections of the population are informing themselves less and less on "classic" information channels such as daily newspapers or television channels. Instead, media that operate exclusively or at least partially on the Internet, above all social media platforms, are being used for information. We use social media platforms alongside other essential media channels. This gives visitors the opportunity to obtain information and make contact via different channels, but always in the same quality.

3.1 Responsible party and assertion of rights

If you visit one of our social media sites, we are jointly responsible with the operator of the social media platform for the data processing operations triggered during this visit. In principle, you can assert your rights (information, correction, deletion, restriction of processing, data portability and complaint) both vis-à-vis us and vis-à-vis the operator of the respective social media portal (e.g. vis-à-vis Facebook). Please note that despite the joint responsibility with the social media portal operators, we do not have full influence on the data processing operations of the social media portals. Our options are largely determined by the corporate policy of the respective provider.

3.2 Storage period

The data collected directly by us via the social media presence will be deleted from our systems as soon as the purpose for storing it no longer applies, you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to store it, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Stored cookies remain on your terminal 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 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).

4.1 Details of the Fanpage

We use the technical platform and services of Facebook Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland for the information service offered here. We would like to point out that you use this Facebook page and its functions on your own responsibility. This applies in particular to the use of the interactive functions (e.g. commenting, sharing, rating).

4.2 Processing of personal data by Facebook

When you visit this Facebook page, Facebook collects, among other things, your IP address and other information that is present on your PC in the form of cookies. This information is used to provide us, as operators of the Facebook pages, with anonymized statistical information about the use of the Facebook page. Facebook provides more detailed information on this under the following link: https://de-de.facebook.com/help/pages/insights

The data collected about you in this context is processed by Facebook Ltd. and may be transferred to countries outside the European Union. Facebook describes which information it receives and how it is used in its data usage guidelines. There you will also find information on how to contact Facebook and on the settings options for advertisements. The data usage guidelines are available at the following link: https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy. Facebook's full data policy can be found here: https://de-de.facebook.com/full_data_use_policy

When you access a Facebook page, the IP address assigned to your end device is transmitted to Facebook. According to Facebook, this IP address is anonymized. Facebook also stores information about the end devices of its users (e.g. as part of the "login notification" function); this may enable Facebook to assign IP addresses to individual users.

If you are currently logged in to Facebook as a user, a cookie with your Facebook ID is located on your end device. This enables Facebook to track that you have visited this page and how you have used it. This also applies to all other Facebook pages. Via Facebook buttons embedded in websites, it is possible for Facebook to record your visits to these websites and assign them to your Facebook profile. Based on this data, content or advertising can be offered tailored to you.

If you wish to avoid this, you should log out of Facebook or deactivate the "stay logged in" function, delete the cookies present on your device and close and restart your browser. In this way, Facebook information through which you can be directly identified will be deleted. This will allow you to use the Facebook fan page without revealing your Facebook identifier. When you access interactive features of the page (Like, Comment, Share, Message, etc.), a Facebook login screen will appear. After any login, you will again be recognizable to Facebook as a user. You can find information on how to manage or delete information about you on the following Facebook support pages: https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy

According to its own information, Facebook stores data until it is no longer needed to provide the services and Facebook products or until the user's respective account is deleted, whichever comes first. This depends on the circumstances of the individual case, in particular the type of data, why it is collected and processed, and the relevant legal or operational storage needs. For more information on data storage, please see: https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy

4.3 Facebook Page Insights

Facebook processes a number of personal data of page visitors in its so-called "Page Insights" for its own purposes. This processing takes place regardless of whether page visitors are logged into Facebook or not and whether page visitors are members of the Facebook network. Users who access the Facebook pages without being registered or logged in to Facebook also have the option of influencing the scope of data processing by means of a cookie banner set by Facebook. More information on Facebook cookies can be found at: https://www.facebook.com/policies/cookies/

Page Insights are aggregate statistics created based on certain "events" logged by Facebook's servers when people interact with Pages and their associated content. Page operators themselves do not have access to the personal data processed as part of "events," only the aggregated, anonymized Page insights. More information can be found at: https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/page_controller_addendum

4.4 Rights of the data subject

The Facebook fan page offers you the opportunity to respond to our posts, comment on them and send us private messages. Please carefully consider what personal data you share with us through our Facebook Fanpage. If you would like to avoid Facebook processing personal data you have transmitted to us, please contact us by other means, for example via our contact options.

If personal data of users are processed, they have the right to information, correction, objection, portability and deletion of the data in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation. Facebook Ireland has undertaken, pursuant to the Page Insights Supplement, to respond to requests from data subjects in accordance with the obligations incumbent on Facebook under the Page Insights Supplement (availableat https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/page_controller_addendum). Facebook provides further information on data subject rights here: https://www.facebook.com/help/2069235856423257

This applies both to those registered with the Instagram service and to those not registered there.

According to its own information, Facebook stores data until it is no longer needed to provide the services and Facebook products or until the respective account of the user is deleted, whichever comes first.

This applies in particular to the use of the interactive functions (e.g. following, reposting, liking, commenting).

7.2 Processing of personal data by LinkedIn

We cannot conclusively assess the extent to which LinkedIn offers its services in compliance with European data protection regulations. However, every user of the LinkedIn network must carefully check for himself or herself which personal data he or she shares with and via LinkedIn. This also applies to the use.

8.2 Processing of personal data by Xing

We cannot conclusively assess the extent to which Xing offers its services in compliance with European data protection regulations. Should new framework conditions arise in this regard for our engagement with Xing, we will examine these in detail and put our engagement to the test. However, every user of the Xing network must carefully examine for himself or herself which personal data he or she shares with and via Xing. As long as you are logged in with your Xing account and visit our profile, Xing can assign this to your profile. We expressly draw your attention to the fact that Xing stores the data of its users (e.g. personal information, IP address, etc.) in accordance with its data usage guidelines and also uses this data for business purposes.

There, the visibility of the profile, activities and privacy can be adjusted. In addition, for mobile devices (smartphones, tablet computers), you can restrict Xing's access to contact and calendar data, photos, location data, etc. in the settings options there. However, this depends on the operating system used. More information on these points is available on the following Xing support pages: https://privacy.xing.com/de/ihre-privatsphaere and https://faq.xing.com/de/einstellungen/die-sichtbarkeit-meiner-aktivitaeten-auf-der-startseite-steuern

We use TikTok Pixel, a conversion tracking tool for advertisers, on our website. The service provider is the Chinese company TikTok. For the European region, the company TikTok Technology Limited (10 Earlsfort Terrace, Dublin, D02 T380, Ireland) is responsible.
TikTok also processes data from you in the USA, among other places. We would like to point out that according to the opinion of the European Court of Justice, there is currently no adequate level of protection for the transfer of data to the USA. This may be accompanied by various risks to the lawfulness and security of data processing.

As a basis for data processing with recipients located in third countries (outside the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, i.e. especially in the USA) or a data transfer there, TikTok uses so-called standard contractual clauses (= Art. 46. para. 2 and 3 DSGVO). Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) are templates provided by the EU Commission and are intended to ensure that your data complies with European data protection standards even if it is transferred to third countries (such as the USA) and stored there. Through these clauses, TikTok undertakes to comply with the European level of data protection when processing your relevant data, even if the data is stored, processed and managed in the US. These clauses are based on an implementing decision of the EU Commission. You can find the decision and the corresponding standard contractual clauses here, among other places: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dec_impl/2021             /914/oj?locale=de

To learn more about the standard contractual clauses and the data processed through the use of TikTok Pixel, see the Privacy Policy on https://www.tiktok.com/legal/privacy-policy-eea?lang=de bzw. https://ads.tiktok.com/i18n/official/policy/controller-to-controller .
