This privacy policy applies to my social media appearances:
I maintain publicly accessible profiles on social networks. The social networks I use are listed below.
Social networks like Facebook, Twitter, etc., can usually analyze your user behavior comprehensively when you visit their website or a website with integrated social media content (e.g., like buttons or advertising banners). By visiting my social media presence, numerous data protection-relevant processing operations are triggered. In detail:
If you are logged into your social media account and visit my social media presence, the operator of the social media portal can assign this visit to your user account. Your personal data may also be collected even if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective social media portal. This data collection occurs, for example, through cookies stored on your device or by recording your IP address.
With the data collected in this way, the operators of the social media portals can create user profiles in which your preferences and interests are stored. This allows interest-based advertising to be displayed to you inside and outside of the respective social media presence. If you have an account with the respective social network, interest-based advertising can be displayed on all devices you are logged into or have been logged into.
Please also note that I cannot track all processing operations on social media portals. Depending on the provider, further processing operations may be carried out by the operators of the social media portals. For details, please refer to the terms of use and privacy policies of the respective social media portals.
Legal Basis
My social media appearances aim to ensure the most comprehensive presence possible on the internet. This is a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. The analysis processes initiated by the social networks may be based on different legal bases specified by the operators of the social networks (e.g., consent within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO).
Controller and Assertion of Rights
If you visit one of my social media presences (e.g., Facebook), I am jointly responsible with the operator of the social media platform for the data processing operations triggered during this visit. You can generally assert your rights (information, correction, deletion, restriction of processing, data portability, and complaint) both against me and the operator of the respective social media portal (e.g., Facebook).
Please note that, despite the joint responsibility with the social media portal operators, I do not have full control over the data processing operations of the social media portals. My options are determined by the corporate policy of the respective provider.
Storage Duration
The data collected directly by me via the social media presence will be deleted from my systems as soon as you request me to delete it, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Stored cookies remain on your device until you delete them. Mandatory legal provisions – especially retention periods – remain unaffected.
I have no influence on the storage duration of your data, which is stored by the operators of social networks for their own purposes. For details, please consult the privacy policies of the respective social networks (see below).
Your Rights
You have the right to obtain information about the origin, recipient, and purpose of your stored personal data at any time free of charge. You also have the right to object, the right to data portability, and the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. Furthermore, you can request the correction, blocking, deletion, and under certain circumstances, the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
