Social Media Presences
We operate official Social Media pages, based on Article 6, section 1 (f) GDPR which refers to processing that is done in the interest of public relations and communication. We do not at any time register, store or process personal data of our users on these pages, except for job applications (see under “Online Job Applications” and below). We may communicate with you via the Social Media platform by answering to comments, messages or the like, share your posted content on any of our social media pages and allow you to participate in contests and/or raffles.
On certain Social Media pages, we also accept job applications. The processing here is based on Art. 6, section 1 (b) GDPR (or the equivalent national implementation provision). Please see the “Online Job Application” section for more information. Please check the settings and privacy policy of the respective provider you have signed up to as well.
The data you submit to our Social Media pages (e.g. comments, videos, applications or pictures) will at no time be used or processed by us for any other undisclosed purposes.
To the extent that the platform provider leaves us room to exert influence over or set parameters regarding the processing of your data, we will design our social media pages to be as compliant as possible with applicable data protection rules. We therefore do not make use of demographic, interest-based, behavior-based or location-based target group classifications for the purposes of advertising, notwithstanding that such services may (by default) be provided to us by the social media platform providers.
If you wish to object to a particular data processing, please contact us via the contact information provided in our content provider information. Following our examination of your request, we will determine whether we are able to respond to your request. If we are unable to fulfill your request using our own means, we will forward it to the appropriate service provider. If you send us an inquiry through the social media platform, we may also, depending on your request, refer to other secure communication channels that guarantee confidentiality. You always have the option to send us confidential inquiries to the address given in the content provider information.
The Social Media platforms use what are known as “web tracking methods” on their websites. Please be aware of the following: the possibility cannot be excluded that the Social Media platforms may use your profile data, for instance in order to evaluate your habits, personal relationships, preferences and the like. Together with the platform provider we entered into a so called joint controllership. This means we and the respective Social Media platform are jointly responsible for the processing of the personal data. We have no influence on the processing of your data by the social media platforms. Further information on the data processing conducted by the platform provider, including information concerning your rights as a user, can be found in the provider’s data protection policy and, the joint controller addendum. Please reach out to us, if you have further questions or require assistance in finding the respective information.
