X. Social media
We operate public profiles on social media (see also XI). If you are logged into your social media account and visit our social media presence, the operator of the social media portal can assign your visit to your user account. Depending on the provider, your personal data may be collected even if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective social media provider. This takes place in the form of cookies that are stored on your end device or by recording your IP address. Social media providers create user profiles in order to recognise preferences. This allows them to display personalised advertising within and outside the respective social media channel. If you have an account with the respective social network, you will be shown personalised advertising on all end devices.

1. Legal basis
Our presence on social media represents a marketing measure; this is a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The analysis processes carried out by the social networks may be based on different legal bases, which must be specified by the operators of the social networks.

2. Controller and assertion of rights
If you visit one of our social media sites, we are jointly responsible with the operator for the data processing operations triggered during this visit. In principle, you can assert your rights both with us and with the provider of the respective social media channel.

3. Storage duration
The data collected directly by us via the social media presence will be deleted by us as soon as the purpose for storage no longer applies, you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Stored cookies remain on your end device until you delete them. Legal provisions (such as retention periods) remain unaffected.
We have no influence on the storage period of your data that is stored by the operators of social networks for their own purposes. For details, please contact the operators of the social networks directly (e.g. in their privacy policy, see below).
