Our benefit from the information provided
​
We use the data available in aggregated form to make our posts on our social media profiles attractive for users, e.g. the distribution by age and gender for an adapted approach and the preferred visiting times of visitors for time-optimized planning of our posts. Information about the type of end devices used by users makes it possible to optimize content visually and functionally.
In accordance with the Facebook terms of use, which each user has agreed to when creating their own social media profile, we can identify the subscribers and fans of our profiles and view their profiles, as well as content that is publicly shared via them.
​
Your rights as a user of our social media profiles
All of your data protection rights apply when you use our social media profiles. Facebook fully ensures that the processing of personal data and Insights data takes place on the basis of appropriate legal bases. Since only Facebook has full access to user data, we recommend that you contact Facebook directly if you would like to ask information or other questions about your rights (e.g. the right to deletion).
​
End or restrict data processing
If you no longer want the data processing described here in the future, you can deactivate "following" or "subscribing" to our social media profiles using the appropriate functions, e. g. on Facebook through the functions "I don't like this page anymore" or "Don't subscribe to this page anymore". This will remove the connection between your social media profile and ours. Identical or similar functions also exist for Instagram.
​
We reserve the right to change this data protection declaration at any time with effect for the future. The current version is available on our website.
