We have pages on a number of social media platforms so that we can communicate with you there too and share information about our products and services. If you visit one of our social media pages, we and the provider of the respective social media platform are joint controllers with respect to any data processing resulting from your visit, as per Article 26 GDPR.
We are not the primary provider of these platforms but only use them within the scope of possibilities afforded to us by each provider, and so by way of precaution we should note that your data may be processed outside the European Union/European Economic Area. This means that using social media may involve data privacy risks, as the exercise of your rights to information, to erasure, to lodge an objection, etc. may be impeded and data generated by using social media is often directly processed by the provider for advertising purposes or to analyse user behaviour, without us having any control over this. If the provider creates profiles of user behaviour, they will often also use cookies or associate your user behaviour with the user profile that you created yourself for that social media platform.
The personal data processing operations described here are performed on the basis of our and the respective provider’s legitimate interests, as per Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, in order to communicate with you via modern channels and to share information about our services. In cases where a provider requires you as a user to give consent to the processing of your data, the lawful basis of processing will be Article 6(1)(a) GDPR in conjunction with Article 7 GDPR.
As we have no access to the data held by the providers, please note that if you wish to exercise your rights (to information, to erasure, to lodge an objection, etc.) it would be best to contact the respective provider directly. Below, we provide further information on how each of the providers we use process your social media data:
