Object of data processing

Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person; an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

Anyone who provides us with other people's personal data must ensure that the data subject agrees that this data can be transferred to us and that he or she understands how we process their personal data and what rights the data subject has.

 

Purposes and legal bases of data processing

Unless otherwise specified, we process your data with our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f). We are interested in using a platform on which we can provide information about our current topics, as well as offering up-to-date information and interaction options and achieving appropriate reach on the respective social media channels.

  • Usage analysis
    We use the functions offered for usage analysis in connection with our social media presences. This aggregated statistical data provided to us in anonymous form by the providers (e.g. number of likes, page views, click-through rate or demographic information on target groups reached) enables us to gain insights into the types of actions that users take on our site or how they interact with it, as well as to optimize customer contact. Personal data of individual users is not visible to us.
     
  • Other user interactions
    If you contact us via the social media presences, e.g. in the form of likes, subscriptions or following our profiles, by rating or commenting on posts, we will use this information, if it has been made public, in aggregate form in order to be able to provide our visitors with relevant and interesting content. The conclusions drawn from this do not allow any conclusions to be drawn about individual users. 
     
  • Advertising
    Advertisers of social media sites may provide us with demographic and geographic evaluations of our target audiences, which we may use to highlight posts or place advertisements on social media sites. However, we do not have the ability to identify individual users, but only work with aggregated and anonymized data. If we carry out a comparison with customer lists in order to show you interest-based advertising, this will only take place with your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a).
