Joint responsibility with the platform operators

We operate one or more profiles on social media platforms. For part of the data processing that takes place when our profiles are visited and used — in particular the page and reach statistics provided to us — we are jointly responsible together with the operator of the respective platform. We can only partially understand which data the platform collects beyond this and how it is used; the privacy policy of the respective platform is decisive in this respect. Where the respective platform provides a joint controller arrangement, we make its essential content available to you via the information linked per platform below.

What data is processed

When you use our profiles, the following data in particular may be processed: your profile or user name, content you actively send us (such as comments, reactions or messages), and aggregated statistics and reach data, which the platform usually provides to us in anonymised form (such as views or interactions). Any further processing is carried out by the platform on its own responsibility.

The basis on which we process data

We base the operation of our profiles and the analysis of anonymised reach statistics on our legitimate interest in a contemporary public presence and in communicating with interested parties. If you contact us directly, we process your details in order to handle your request. Where we ask for your consent for a specific processing operation — such as a competition or marketing campaign — that consent is the basis; you can withdraw it at any time with effect for the future.

Your rights

You have the right to access your data and to rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, objection and data portability. As a large part of the data is technically processed by the respective platform, you can exercise many of these rights most effectively directly with the platform. However, you can also contact us at any time — we will support you and forward your request where necessary.

Right to lodge a complaint

You have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority about the processing of your personal data.

Transfer of data to third countries

When you use our profiles, your data may also be processed outside the European Union — in particular in the USA. The respective platform bases such transfers on safeguards recognised by the EU; you will find details for each platform below.
