This technology can be used to serve personalised ads to visitors of this website on LinkedIn. Furthermore, the possibility arises to create anonymous reports on the performance of the advertisements as well as information on website interaction. For this purpose, the LinkedIn Insight tag is embedded on this website, which establishes a connection to the LinkedIn server if you visit this website and are logged into your LinkedIn account at the same time.

Social media

We maintain publicly accessible profiles on social media. The individual social networks that we use are listed below. Social networks such as Facebook are generally able to comprehensively analyse your user behaviour if you visit their website or a website with integrated social media content (such as like buttons or advertising banners). Visiting our social media profiles triggers a variety of processes in which data is processed in a manner that is relevant for data protection purposes. Specifically:

If you are logged into a social media account and visit our social media profile, the operator of that social media platform can link your visit to your user account. Your personal data may also be collected under certain circumstances even if you are not logged in and/or have no account with the social media platform in question. Such data is collected for example through cookies that are saved on your end device or through the collection of your IP address. Data collected in this fashion allows the operators of social media portfolio to create user profiles that log your preferences and interests. This allows targeted interest-driven advertising to be presented to you on and outside of the social media platform. If you have an account with that social network, targeted interest-driven advertising may be displayed on all devices where you are or were logged in to that account. Please also note that we are unable to verify all processing performed on social media platforms. Depending on the provider, it is therefore possible that other processing may be performed by the operators of these social media platforms. For more details, please refer to the terms of use and privacy policy of the social media platform in question.

Legal basis

Our social media profiles aim to provide information through the Internet. This is a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 f) GDPR. In necessary cases, the legal basis is also Art. 6 para. 1 a) GDPR. Analysis processes initiated by the social networks may be governed by other lawful bases, disclosure about which falls within the obligations of the social network operators (e.g. consent under Art. 6 para. 1 a) GDPR

Data controller and exercise of rights

If you visit one of our social media profiles (e.g. Facebook), we are responsible jointly with the operator of the social media platform for the data processing activities triggered during this visit. You may exercise your rights (information, correction, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and complaints) either through us or through the operator of the social media platform (e.g. through Facebook). Please note that despite our joint responsibility with the social media platform operators, we are unable to fully influence how data is processed on these social media platforms. Our abilities are dictated largely by the company policies of the provider in question.

Duration of storage

Data that we directly collect through the social media platform will be deleted by our systems once the purpose of its storage no longer applies if you request its deletion or if you revoke consent to its storage. Cookies stored on your end device will remain there until you delete them. This does not affect any mandatory legal provisions – especially retention periods. We have no influence over how long your data is stored by the operators of social networks for their own purposes. Please contact the operators of the social networks directly for more details on this (e.g. in their privacy policy, see below).
