We would like to point out that you use our presences in social media and their functions at your own responsibility. This applies in particular to the use of interactive functions (e.g. commenting, sharing, rating). Alternatively, you can access the information that we provide in social media on our own website.

8.1 Data processed by social media

When visiting our presences in social media, the operators of social media collect, among other things, your IP address and other information that is present in the form of cookies on your computer.

When accessing our presences in social media, the IP address assigned to your device is transmitted to the operator of the respective social network. Social networks also store information about users’ devices (e.g., as part of the “login notification” function); this may allow the operators of social media to assign IP addresses to individual users.

If you are currently logged into the respective social network as a user, a cookie with your individual identifier in this social network is located on your device. This allows the operator of the social network to understand that you have visited a specific page and how you have used it. Based on this data, content or advertising can be tailored to your previous website visits.

If you want to avoid this, you should log out of the respective social network or deactivate the “stay logged in” function, delete the cookies present on your device, and close and restart your browser. In this way, login information that can be used to immediately identify you will be deleted. This allows you to use our presences in social media without revealing your user ID. If you access interactive functions of the site (like, comment, share, messages, etc.), a login screen will appear. After a possible registration, you will be recognizable again as a specific user for the used social network.

Information on how to manage or delete existing information within the social network can be found on the respective social network’s support pages mentioned above.

If we have made the personal data concerning, you public and are obliged to delete it according to Art. 17 para. 1 GDPR, we will take all reasonable measures to inform other data controllers about your request for deletion of all links to this personal data or copies or replications of this personal data.

The right to deletion does not apply if the processing is necessary:

The processing is unlawful, and you oppose the deletion of the personal data and request the restriction of its use instead;
We no longer need the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but you require it for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims; or
If you have objected to the processing according to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR, and it is not yet determined whether our legitimate grounds override your reasons.

If the processing of your personal data has been restricted, these data may only be processed – apart from their storage – with your consent, or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of substantial public interest of the Union or a member state.
