To the extent that personal data is processed exclusively by the respective social network operator, that platform operator is responsible for such processing.

When you visit our social media profiles, the operators of the respective platforms may collect and process personal data. This may include, in particular, IP addresses, device information, usage data, and information about interactions with content.

If you are logged in to the respective platform, the platform operator can associate your visit to our profile with your user account. Data may also be processed for visitors who are not logged in.

Platform operators may use this information, among other things, to provide their services, analyze user behavior, personalize content, and display advertisements. We have only limited influence over the nature and scope of this processing by the platform operators.

If you contact us through our social media channels—for example, via messages or comments—we will process the data you provide in order to handle your inquiry.

The legal basis for this, insofar as the communication serves to initiate or fulfill a contract, is Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in communication, customer service, and public image in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.

4. Retention Period

Personal data that we collect ourselves through our social media accounts and store outside the respective platform will be deleted as soon as the purpose of the processing no longer applies and there are no statutory retention requirements or other legal grounds preventing such deletion.

We generally have no control over how long data is stored when it is processed by the respective platform operators for their own purposes. You can find information on this in the privacy policies of the respective providers.

In connection with certain statistical and analytical functions, particularly so-called “Insights” data, we and Meta may share responsibility in accordance with Article 26 of the GDPR. Meta provides the relevant agreements and information in this regard.

As a general rule, we receive only aggregated statistical information from Meta and cannot typically identify individual visitors to our profiles based on that information.
