3. information on the collection of personal data
3.1 Facebook page
We operate this website as a communication and information channel to provide information about our offers. Personal data is processed in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the General Data Protection Regulation on the basis of our legitimate interest in using this contemporary information and interaction opportunity with users and visitors to the site.
We would like to point out that you use this Facebook page and its functions at your own risk. This applies in particular to the use of the interactive functions (e.g. commenting, sharing, rating).
Processing of personal data by Facebook:
When you visit our Facebook page, Facebook collects, among other things, your IP address and other information that is stored on your PC in the form of cookies. This information is used to provide us, as the operator of the Facebook pages, with statistical information about the use of the Facebook page. Facebook provides more information on this at the following link: de-de.facebook.com/help/pages/insights.
The data collected about you in this context is processed by Facebook Ltd. and may be transferred to countries outside the European Union. What information Facebook receives and how it is used is described by Facebook in general terms in its data usage guidelines. There you will also find information on how to contact Facebook and the settings options for adverts. The data usage guidelines and the information required under Article 13(1)(a) and (b) GDPR are available at the following link: de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy.
Facebook does not conclusively and clearly state how it uses the data from visits to Facebook pages for its own purposes, to what extent activities on the Facebook page are assigned to individual users, how long Facebook stores this data and whether data from a visit to the Facebook page is passed on to third parties, and we are not aware of this.
When you access a Facebook page, the IP address assigned to your end device is transmitted to Facebook. According to Facebook, this IP address is anonymised (for "German" IP addresses) and deleted after 90 days. Facebook also stores information about the end devices of its users (e.g. as part of the "login notification" function); this may enable Facebook to assign IP addresses to individual users.
If you are currently logged in to Facebook as a user, a cookie with your Facebook ID is stored on your end device. This enables Facebook to recognise that you have visited this page and how you have used it. This also applies to all other Facebook pages. Facebook buttons integrated into websites enable Facebook to record your visits to these websites and assign them to your Facebook profile. This data can be used to offer you customised content or advertising. If you want to avoid this, you should log out of Facebook or deactivate the "stay logged in" function, delete the cookies on your device and close and restart your browser. In this way, Facebook information that can be used to directly identify you will be deleted. This allows you to use our Facebook page without revealing your Facebook ID. When you access interactive functions on the page (like, comment, share, message, etc.), a Facebook login screen will appear. After logging in, you will once again be recognisable to Facebook as a specific user.
As personal data is transferred to the USA, further protective mechanisms are required to ensure the level of data protection required by the GDPR. To ensure this, we have agreed standard data protection clauses with the provider in accordance with Art. 46 para. 2 lit. c) GDPR. These oblige the recipient of the data in the USA to process the data in accordance with the level of protection in Europe. In cases where this cannot be ensured even by this contractual extension, we endeavour to obtain additional regulations and assurances from the recipient in the USA. Further information from the third-party provider on data protection, including the legal basis on which Facebook Ireland relies and information on how you can manage or delete existing information about you, can be found on the following Facebook website: de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy.
Processing of data by us:
We can access statistical data of various categories via the so-called "Insights" of the Facebook page. These statistics are generated and provided by Facebook. As the operator of the page, we have no influence on the generation and presentation of this data. We cannot switch off this function or prevent the generation and processing of the data. Facebook provides us with the following data relating to our Facebook page for a selectable period of time and for the categories fans, subscribers, people reached and people interacting:
• Total number of page views and activities, post interactions ("likes", comments, shared content, clicks on links, etc.), (post) reach, video views, replies,
• Proportion of men and women,
• Origin related to country and city,
• Language,
• Views and clicks in the shop,
• Click on route planner,
• Clicks on telephone numbers.
Data on the Facebook groups linked to our Facebook page is also provided in this way. Due to the constant development of Facebook, the availability and processing of the data changes, so we refer you to the Facebook privacy policy mentioned above for further details. We use this data, which is available in aggregated form, to make our posts and activities on our Facebook page more attractive to users. For example, we use the distribution by age and gender for a customised approach and the preferred visiting times of the users for a time-optimised planning of our posts. Information about the type of end devices used by visitors helps us to adapt the visual design of our posts accordingly. In accordance with the Facebook terms of use, which every user has agreed to when creating a Facebook profile, we can identify the subscribers and fans of the page and view their profiles and other information shared by them.
User rights:
Facebook Ireland assumes primary responsibility under the GDPR for the processing of Insights data
as part of the joint responsibility agreement concluded between us and Facebook and fulfils all obligations under the GDPR with regard to the processing of Insights data (including Articles 12 and 13 GDPR, Articles 15 to 22 GDPR and Articles 32 to 34 GDPR). In addition, Facebook Ireland will make the essence of this Page Insights Supplement available to data subjects.
You are welcome to contact both us and Facebook if you have any questions. As part of the agreement that exists between us and Facebook, we will forward your enquiry to Facebook without delay if Facebook alone has to comply with your rights as a data subject. Facebook Ireland will respond to requests in accordance with our obligations under this Page Insights Addendum.

3.4 YouTube page
We operate this website as a communication and information channel to provide information about our offers. Personal data is processed in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the General Data Protection Regulation on the basis of our legitimate interest in the use of this contemporary information and interaction opportunity with users and visitors to the site.
We would like to point out that you use the YouTube channel offered here and its functions on your own responsibility. This applies in particular to the use of the "Discuss" function. Information on what data is processed by Google and for what purposes can be found in Google's privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy.
We have no influence on the type and scope of the data processed by Google, the type of processing and utilisation or the forwarding of this data to third parties. We also have no effective control options in this respect. By using Google, your personal data is collected, transferred, stored, disclosed and used by Google. In addition, your data will be transferred to, stored and used in the United States, Ireland and any other country in which Google LCC does business, regardless of your place of residence. Data is transferred to companies affiliated with Google and to other trustworthy companies or persons who process it on behalf of Google. Google processes your voluntarily entered data such as your name and user name, e-mail address and telephone number. Google also processes the content that you create, upload or receive from others when using the services. This includes, for example, photos and videos that you save, documents and spreadsheets that you create and comments that you write on YouTube videos. On the other hand, Google also analyses the content you share to determine which topics you are interested in, stores and processes confidential messages that you send directly to other users and can determine your location using GPS data, information on wireless networks or your IP address in order to send you advertising or other content.
Google may use analysis tools such as Google Analytics for evaluation purposes. We have no influence on the use of such tools by Google and have not been informed of such potential use. If tools of this type are used by Google for our YouTube channel, we have neither commissioned this nor supported it in any other way. The data obtained during the analysis is also not made available to us. Only the profiles of subscribers can be viewed by us via their account. Furthermore, we have no way of preventing or switching off the use of such tools on your YouTube channel.
Finally, Google also receives information when you view content, for example, even if you have not created an account. This so-called "log data" may include the IP address, the browser type, the operating system, information about the previously accessed website and the pages you accessed, your location, your mobile phone provider, the end device you are using (including device ID and application ID), the search terms you used and cookie information.
You have the option of restricting the processing of your data in the general settings of your Google account. In addition to these tools, Google also offers specific data protection settings for YouTube. You can find out more about this in the guide to data protection in Google products from Google: policies.google.com/technologies/product-privacy.
Further information on these points can be found in Google's privacy policy under the term "Privacy Settings": policies.google.com/privacy.
We also process your data when you communicate with us via YouTube. We do not collect any data about your YouTube account ourselves. However, the data you enter on YouTube, in particular your user name and the content published under your account, will be processed by us to the extent that we may respond to your comments and your publications under "Discussions". The data freely published and distributed by you on YouTube can thus be included by us in our offer and made accessible to our followers.

XING is a social network operated by XING SE, based in Hamburg. Members can use it primarily to manage their professional and private contacts and make new ones. Organisations can set up a page with a logo and short profile, post news and initiate discussion groups. To use the network functions, you must be registered as a user. There is a free basic version and a paid version with additional functions. In contrast to other social networks, XING is based more on a combination of personal and electronic contact and is less commercial and less visually orientated. The focus is on professional dialogue on specialist topics with people who share the same professional interests. In addition, XING is often used by companies and other organisations to recruit staff and present themselves as attractive employers. To this end, XING is linked to the employer rating platform kununu.
We would like to point out that you use this Xing page and its functions on your own responsibility. This applies in particular to the use of the interactive functions (for example, if you leave a comment, click a Like button, share a post, send us a message, call up the page, or make any other possible interaction on our Xing page).
We have no influence on the type and scope of the data processed by Xing, the type of processing and utilisation or the forwarding of this data to third parties. We also have no effective control options in this respect. When you use Xing, your personal data is collected, transferred, stored, disclosed and used by Xing.
You have the option of restricting the processing of your data in the general settings of your Xing account. On mobile devices (smartphones, tablet computers), you can also restrict Xing's access to contact and calendar data, photos, location data, etc. in the settings options there. However, this depends on the operating system you are using.
Further information on these points is available on Xing's privacy policy: privacy.xing.com/de/datenschutzerklaerung/druckversion

4. contact via a social media channel
If you use our profiles on social networks to contact us (e.g. by creating your own posts, responding to one of our posts or sending us private messages), the data you provide us with will be processed by us exclusively for the purpose of contacting you. The legal basis for data collection is therefore Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) and b) GDPR. We delete stored data as soon as its storage is no longer required or you request us to delete it; in the case of statutory retention obligations, we restrict the processing of the stored data accordingly.
