7. Online Presences on Social Networks<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

We maintain online presences on social networks to communicate with customers and interested parties, among others, and to provide information about our products and services. The data of users is generally processed by the relevant social networks for market research and advertising purposes. In this way, user profiles can be created based on the interests of the users. For this purpose, cookies and other identifiers are stored on the computers of the persons concerned. Based on these user profiles, advertisements are then displayed, for example, within the social networks as well as on third-party websites. In connection with the operation of our online presences, we may have access to information such as statistics regarding the use of our online presences provided by the social networks. These statistics are aggregated and may include, in particular, demographic information (e.g., age, gender, region, country) and data on interactions with our online presences (e.g., likes, subscriptions, shares, viewing of images and videos) and the posts and content distributed via them. These can also provide information about the interests of users and which content and topics are particularly relevant to them. We can also use this information to adapt the design, our activities, and content on the online presence and optimize it for our audience. For details and links to the social network data that we as operators of the online presences can access, please refer to the list below. The collection and use of these statistics are generally subject to joint controllership. Where applicable, the corresponding agreement is listed below.<\/p>\n\n

The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, based on our legitimate interest in effective information and communication with users, or Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, in order to stay in touch with our customers and inform them, as well as to carry out pre-contractual measures with interested parties.<\/p>\n\n

If you have an account with the social network, we may be able to see the information and media you have made publicly available when we access your profile. In addition, the social network may allow us to contact you. This can take place, for example, via direct messages or posted contributions. Content-related communication via the social network and the processing of content data are the responsibility of the social network as a messaging and platform service. As soon as we transfer personal data from you into our own systems or process it further, we are independently responsible for it, and this is done to carry out pre-contractual measures and fulfill a contract pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.<\/p>\n\n

For the legal basis of the data processing carried out by the social networks on their own responsibility, please refer to the privacy policies of the respective social network. Under the links below, you will also find further information on the respective data processing and objection options. We point out that data protection inquiries can be asserted most efficiently with the respective provider of the social network, as only these providers have access to the data and can directly take appropriate measures. You can, of course, also contact us with your request. In this case, we will process your inquiry and forward it to the provider of the social network.<\/p>\n\n

Below is a list containing information about the social networks on which we operate online presences:<\/a>[LG8]<\/a> <\/p>\n\n
