Purposes and legal bases of data processing for social media use
To present our company and communicate directly with you, we use social media platforms from providers such as LinkedIn and Co. ("providers"), through which we maintain our presence (e.g., in the context of company and employee profiles) and process your data.
Shared responsibility
If data is collected on our website that is processed and used by both the provider and us for joint purposes (e.g., in the context of analyses or advertising), both we and the provider are jointly responsible. In many cases, we cannot deactivate this function. You can therefore contact both the respective provider and us with your request.

Purposes and legal bases of data processing
Informational use of our website:
You can visit our website without providing any personal data. If you use our website for informative purposes only, i.e., if you do not register or otherwise provide us with information about yourself, we do not process any personal data, with the exception of the data collected and transmitted to us by the operator obtained through the cookies they use.
Analysis and tracking:
For the purpose of analyzing and tracking the use of its social media platform and our website, the provider uses cookies that allow the evaluation of your surfing behavior. This enables us to improve the quality of the platform and our website and their content. We learn how the platform and the website are used and can thus constantly optimize them.
However, we have no influence on the data collected and data processing operations, nor are we aware of the full extent of the data collection, the exact purposes of data processing or the storage periods. Likewise, we have no information on the deletion of the data collected by the platform operator.
Web analysis consists in the collection, compilation and evaluation of data regarding the behavior of visitors to websites. Among other things, a web analysis service collects data about the website that has sent the user to the website he is currently on (a so-called referrer site), which subpages of the website were accessed or how often and for how long a subpage was viewed. Web analysis is regularly used to optimize a website and for the cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising. It may also happen that the information obtained during the analysis and tracking of our website is merged with other data you collected when using the website and the platform. If you register on the platform, the operator may link data relating to your platform activities with your personal details (e.g., name/email address) on the basis of the consent granted by you, thus collecting personal data and providing you with information about your preferred topics in an individually adapted and targeted manner.
With regard to statistics provided to us by the platform operator, we can only influence these to a limited extent and cannot switch them off. However, we make sure that no additional optional statistics are made available to us.
We process your personal data in accordance with the following legal basis:
- your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, which you gave to the provider when registering on the respective social media platform.
Active use of the website:
Apart from the purely informational use of our website, you can also actively use our website to contact us. In this case, in addition to the above described processing of personal data for purely informational use, we also process other personal data from you that we need, for example, to handle your inquiry. This also applies in the event that we actively use the website, for example to contact you on our own initiative or to initiate business contacts with you.
Sharing and publishing interactions with posts, reviews, photos, etc.
You can comment on, share or otherwise react to (like, recommend, review, etc.) posts, photos, videos, etc. created by us on the provider's platform and on our website. We may share your content on our website if this is a function of the operator's platform and communicate with you via the platform. Public messages etc. may be published by the operator but will not be used or processed by us for other purposes at any time.
In the case of reviews, we may publish a response (e.g., to clarify a problem, goodwill actions, etc.) to your message and ask you to contact us again. This might involve the personal data you voluntarily publish in the review being processed in this context.
Otherwise, we only reserve the right to delete content should this be necessary.
We process your personal data in accordance with the following legal basis:
- To safeguard our legitimate interests in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Data processing is carried out in the interests of our public relations work and communication.

If you send us an inquiry via the platform, we may also refer you to other, secure communication channels that guarantee confidentiality, depending on the required response. You always have the option of sending confidential inquiries to our address stated in the legal notice or in this privacy policy. We may contact you electronically, by telephone or by post, depending on the subject of the inquiry and the type of response required.
We process your personal data to respond to user inquiries, requests for materials, etc. in accordance with the following legal bases:
- to safeguard our legitimate interests in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR; our legitimate interest consists in the proper response to and handling of customer inquiries;
