We operate official Social Media pages, based on Article 6, section 1 (f) GDPR which refers to processing that is done in the interest of public relations and communication.

We may only communicate with you via the Social Media platform by answering to comments, messages or the like, share your posted content on any of our social media pages and allow you to participate in contests and/or raffles.

The data you submit to our Social Media pages (e.g. comments, videos or pictures) will at no time be used or processed by us for any other undisclosed purposes.
To the extent that the platform provider leaves us room to exert influence over or set parameters regarding the processing of your data, we will design our social media pages to be as compliant as possible with applicable data protection rules.

If you wish to object to a particular data processing, please contact us via the contact information provided in our content provider information. Following our examination of your request, we will determine whether we are able to respond to your request.

You always have the option to send us confidential inquiries to the address given in the content provider information.
The Social Media platforms use what are known as “web tracking methods” on their websites. Please be aware of the following: the possibility cannot be excluded that the Social Media platforms may use your profile data, for instance in order to evaluate your habits, personal relationships, preferences and the like. Together with the platform provider we entered into a so called joint controllership. This means we and the respective Social Media platform are jointly responsible for the processing of the personal data.
