2. Social Media Channels

Meta (Facebook & Instagram)

We use the technical platform and services of Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland.

We would like to point out that you use the Facebook/Instagram page and its functions on your own responsibility. This applies to the interactive functions (e.g., commenting, sharing, liking).

Meta processes personal data about your account, your IP address as well as about the end devices you use. Meta also uses cookies to collect and analyze personal data. These are small files that are stored on your end devices. Meta describes in general terms what information it receives and how it is used in its data usage guidelines. There you will also find information on how to contact Meta, how to opt out, and how to adjust the settings for advertisements. You can find Meta's complete data guidelines here: https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy/.

The information may be used by Meta to provide us, as operators of the Facebook/Instagram pages, with statistical information such as gender and age distribution about the use of the Facebook/Instagram page. In addition, Meta may shows you further information or advertisements according to your preferences. Meta provides more detailed information on this at the following link: https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/page_controller_addendum.

When you access a/an Facebook/Instagram page, the IP address assigned to your end device is transmitted to Meta. According to Meta, the IP address is stored anonymously and deleted after 90 days. Meta also stores information about its users' end devices (for example, as part of the "login notification" function); this may enable Meta to assign IP addresses to individual users.

If you are currently logged in to Facebook/Instagram as a user, a cookie is set with your Facebook/Instagram identifier. In this way, Meta can track that you have visited this page and how you have used it. This also applies to all other Facebook/Instagram pages. Facebook/Instagram buttons embedded in websites enable Meta to record your visits to these websites and assign them to your Facebook/Instagram profile. This data can be used to offer content or advertising tailored to you.

In case you want to avoid this, you should log out of Facebook/Instagram or deactivate the "stay logged in" function, delete the cookies present on your device and close and restart your browser. This will delete Facebook/Instagram information that can directly identify you. This allows you to use our Facebook/Instagram page without revealing your Facebook/Instagram identifier. When you access interactive features of the page (Like, Comment, Share, Message, etc.), a/an Facebook/Instagram login screen will appear. After any login, you will again be recognizable to Facebook/Instagram as a specific user. Alternatively, you can use a different browser than usual to visit our Facebook/Instagram page.

Information on how to manage or delete information about you can be found on the following Facebook support pages: https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy.

Instagram describes what information it receives and how it is used in its data usage guidelines. There you will also find information on how to contact Facebook as well as on the settings options for advertisements.

The full data policies of the Instagram service can be found here: https://privacycenter.instagram.com/policy/?entry_point=ig_help_center_data_policy_redirect.

In what way Meta uses the data from visits to Facebook pages for its own purposes, to what extent activities on the Facebook/Instagram page are assigned to individual users, how long Meta stores this data and whether data from a visit to the Facebook/Instagram page is passed on to third parties is not conclusively and clearly stated by Meta and is not known to us.

Based on this data, content or advertising can be offered tailored to you.

If you want to avoid this, you should log out of YouTube, delete the cookies present on your device, and exit and restart your browser. In this way, YouTube information that can directly identify you will be deleted. This will allow you to use our YouTube site without revealing your YouTube identifier. When you access interactive features of the site (like, comment, share, etc.), a YouTube login screen will appear. If you now log in, you will again be recognizable to YouTube as a specific user. For information on how to manage or delete information about you, visit the YouTube Support page at https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/9315727.

3. Insights

If you have a profile and are logged in, the operators of the social networks can analyze your usage behavior and create a user profile corresponding to your usage behavior. This user data is regularly processed for market research and (personalized) advertising purposes (so-called “page insights” or “Twitter Analytics”).

Advertisements are placed within the social network or on third-party websites. We have no influence on the type and scope of the data processed by the operators of the social networks. We use the analysis functions provided there to obtain statistical evaluations of the users of our online presence and thus gain insights into the types of actions that visitors take on our site. The user data is based, among other things, on your own published information in your profile. It is not possible for us to draw conclusions about individual members from the information in the page insights. We do not make any decisions regarding the processing of insights data and all other information resulting from Art. 13 GDPR, including the legal basis, identity of the controller and storage duration of cookies on user end devices.

You can find more information on joint controllership for these data processing operations at

We have concluded a corresponding joint controllership agreement with Meta and LinkedIn (Art. 26 GDPR), which defines the distribution of data protection obligations between us and the social network. If you wish to assert requests for information or your user rights, you can assert these rights against us or Meta, TikTok or LinkedIn.

As far as possible, we have concluded Joint Controllership Agreements with the operators of the social networks in accordance with Art. 26 GDPR.

The corporate policy of the respective social media network has a significant influence on our options. In the event of the assertion of data subject rights, we could only forward these requests to the operator of the respective social media network.

We also are jointly responsible as controllers mentioned under the section “Controller”. We have concluded Joint Controllership Agreements.

Communication via WhatsApp

We use the instant messaging service WhatsApp to communicate with our customers, when customers actively approach us via this channel. The provider is WhatsApp Ireland Limited, Merrion Road, Dublin 4, D04 X2K5, Ireland. WhatsApp is part of the Meta group of companies.

In this context, we are merely a user of the services and features provided by WhatsApp. We have no influence on the terms and conditions under which WhatsApp processes data. This applies in particular to the privacy terms associated with the use of WhatsApp.

We use both free and the "WhatsApp Business" version of WhatsApp. If you contact us via WhatsApp, this means that not only we but also WhatsApp will come into contact with any personal data you disclose in this context. We have no influence on the type and scope of the data processed by the provider, the type of processing and use or the transfer of this data to third parties. Information about which data is processed by the provider and for what purposes it is used can be found in the service provider’s privacy policy, which can be viewed here: www.whatsapp.com/legal/ and https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/#privacy-policy.

We will not actively contact you or send you advertising via WhatsApp unless you have consented to this. The communication is encrypted end-to-end (peer-to-peer), which prevents WhatsApp or other third parties from accessing the content of the communication.

We would also like to point out that WhatsApp states that it shares personal data of its users with its parent company Facebook/Meta, which is based in the USA. Meta is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and bases data transfers to the U.S. on the adequacy decision.

The data provided to us in WhatsApp is processed on the basis of a legitimate interest (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR). Our legitimate interest in processing your data is to enable you to contact us easily.

If you contact us by WhatsApp as customer or to request a quote, the data provided will be processed for the fulfillment of contractual obligations or to carry out pre-contractual measures (Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR).

We have concluded a data processing agreement with WhatsApp as recipient of the data which can be found under: https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/business-data-processing-terms

The data will be deleted no later than six months after the final processing of the request. If there is a contractual relationship, we are subject to the statutory retention periods and delete your data after six or ten years.

The provision of your personal data is voluntary. However, without the necessary data and the reason for the request, we will not be able to process your request. Alternatively, you may contact us at any time using the telephone number, e-mail address or contact form provided on the website.

Objection: Please read the information on your right to object under Art. 21 GDPR below.

 

7. Legal basis

The processing of your personal data takes place in order to stay in contact with our customers, to inform them or, if necessary, to carry out pre-contractual measures with interested parties or applicants in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.

The legal basis for the provision of social media channels is based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest results in the effective information of users and interested parties as well as in the context of marketing, e.g. for better accessibility of target groups, image building, employer branding or advertising function of social media. We use these to increase awareness of our company. We also use the statistical evaluations to continuously make the information provided attractive for visitors to the company profile and to align it with user interests. Additionally, we communicate with users based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, in particular to respond to criticism, build a relationship and exchange information. The purpose is to improve our services and respond to customer needs.

If you have given your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR (e.g. by setting your LinkedIn or XING status to “actively looking for a job”), we will also contact you directly to provide you with suitable job offers.

Depending on the orientation of the lead ad campaign, the legal basis for data processing is your express consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR (e.g. for direct advertising measures or for further information on our products) or our legitimate interest in optimal marketing of our offer, Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

 

8. Recipients

Recipients of the data are initially the respective operators of the social networks, where they may be transmitted to third parties for their own purposes and under their own responsibility.

We have concluded corresponding contracts with the service providers, which oblige them to handle your data confidentially.

If data is posted on the social media network, the recipient of publications is also the public, i.e. potentially anyone.

 

9. Third Country Transfers

The data collected about you in this context is processed by the operator of the respective social network and is also transferred to countries outside the European Union.

Since July 10, 2023, the EU Commission has issued an adequacy decision for the USA, which is effective for companies certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. In the event of a transfer, this guarantees a level of data protection that is provided for by the GDPR. A list of certified companies can be found here.

The following operators of social networks transferring collected data outside European Union, namely in the USA:

• Meta Platforms, Inc., Google LLC, X Corp. (former Twitter) and LinkedIn Corporation are certified according to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and base the transfer of data to the USA on the adequacy decision.
• Pinterest Inc. and TikTok Inc. are not certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. Therefore, we have concluded standard contractual clauses with Pinterest and TikTok and will provide you with a copy of the standard contractual clauses on request.

 

10. Storage duration

The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected. As a rule, we delete your private messages to us after three years, starting at the end of the calendar year in which the message was sent to us. Your comments will be stored by the respective network until you delete them yourself.

We have no influence on the data processing by the operators of the social networks and are not responsible for the third country transfers of companies based in the USA.

 

11. Provision prescribed or required

The provision of your personal data is neither legally nor contractually required, but voluntary. However, you cannot interact with us or our content on social networks without providing your personal data.

16. Information about your right to object, Art. 21 GDPR

Right to object on a case-by-case basis:

You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data relating to you which is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (data processing on the basis of a balance of interests); this also applies to profiling based on this provision within the meaning of Art. 4 No. 4 GDPR.

If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
