Information about the data controller can be found in the legal notice of the respective service and on our website. The legal notices of the social networks we use also contain information about a data protection officer, if there is a legal obligation to appoint one.

We maintain publicly accessible profiles on social networks. The specific social networks we use are listed below. Social networks such as Facebook, Xing, etc., can generally analyze your user behavior comprehensively when you visit their website or a website with integrated social media content (e.g., like buttons or advertising banners). Visiting our social media pages triggers numerous data processing operations relevant to data protection.

If you are logged into your social media account and visit our social media page, the operator of the social media platform can associate this visit with your user account. Your personal data may also be collected even if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective social media platform. In this case, data collection occurs, for example, via cookies stored on your device or by recording your IP address.

Using the data collected in this way, the operators of social media platforms can create user profiles that store your preferences and interests. This allows them to display interest-based advertising to you both on and off the respective social media platform. If you have an account with the respective social network, this interest-based advertising can be displayed on all devices on which you are or have been logged in.

Please also note that we cannot track all data processing activities on social media platforms. Depending on the provider, the operators of the social media platforms may carry out further data processing activities. For details, please refer to the terms of use and privacy policies of the respective social media platforms.
