(see also Section C.II. below regarding the legal basis and further information).
III. Information Collected from and by Social Media Applications and Networking Websites
Links to Social Media Websites
Our websites do not use any social media plugins. The links on our websites are static links to our subpages on various social networks (LinkedIn, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Google+, etc.). These links do not transfer any data to the operators of the social networks simply by visiting our websites. Only if you follow one of these links by clicking on it will you reach the pages of the respective social network. In this case the provider of the social network can collect personal data from you which is done according to the respective data protection regulations of the provider over which we have no influence or control.
Data Processing in the Context of our Social Media Pages
In addition to our websites, we are also represented on online platforms and social networks.

In this respect, we may be jointly responsible with the provider under data protection law.
Your personal data can be processed for analysis and advertising purposes. This is done, for example, by creating usage profiles based on your usage behavior and the resulting interests. Cookies are usually used to create the user profiles, which make it possible to analyze your usage behavior and your interests. Normally, the user profiles serve to enable advertisements to be placed with the respective provider or elsewhere on the Internet that correspond to your interests. In addition, other data may be stored in addition to the user profiles, especially if you are a registered user of the platform of the respective provider and are logged in to the platform. For a detailed description of the respective provider’s processing and the possibilities of objection (opt-out), please refer to the information of the providers linked below.

Otherwise, data processing, in particular communication with us, is based on legitimate interests (Article 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. f) GDPR). In this respect, our interest is to provide you with the most informative, customized and appealing social media pages possible.
We will delete your personal data (in particular the contents of our communication) as soon as they are no longer required for the respective purpose(s) and as far as we are able to do so. You have the rights listed under "Your Rights as a Data Subject" (see below) vis-à-vis us and the social media provider. Since the respective provider only has access to all of your data, you should in any case also assert your rights against the provider.
