6. Social media icons and presences

We use the social media offerings of LinkedIn, XING, kununu and Meta (Facebook, Instagram) by maintaining company presences to which we also link via our websites.

We interact and communicate with you through our company presence on the aforementioned platforms and the content we distribute there as well as the links to these on our websites. In some cases, it is necessary for you to set up a user account with the respective social media provider and log in.

We use active links and icons on our websites to link to our offers on the aforementioned platforms. The relevant information (IP address, subpage visited, mobile provider, time zone setting, advertising identifier, version of the app used and end device information as well as profile data for cross-device analysis) is forwarded to the social media providers when you click on the link or icon.

When you click on the link or icon, the information is forwarded to the respective social media provider even if you do not have your own account with the respective provider or are not logged in. If you have a user account there, the provider will regularly link the information to it, even if you are not logged in.

We have no control over this and we do not know what personal data the social media providers collect as third-party providers and how they handle this data when you use the social media platforms.

The data processing associated with the integration of social media offers is in our legitimate interest in interacting with you and presenting our company to you; the legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

Usage evaluation Facebook

From Meta (Facebook, Instagram) we receive usage evaluations ("page insights") of our presence there. This enables us to constantly improve our presentations there. This data is only collected and analyzed by Meta in relation to you if you have a user account there and visit our company website. We are jointly responsible with Meta (Facebook) for the associated data processing.

We have concluded an agreement with Meta that transparently regulates the division of duties between us (Art. 26 GDPR; available at https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/page_controller_addendum). The essence of this agreement is that Meta is primarily responsible for visitor data processing and fulfills all relevant obligations under the GDPR in relation to the processing of visitor data (including, but not limited to, the fulfillment of the rights of the data subject).

These usage evaluations are carried out in our legitimate interest in continuously improving our offers on the social media platforms and thus on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a, f GDPR.

Further information on the providers

Beyond the joint processing, we have no influence on and are not aware of what personal data the social media providers process from you and how. Some of these providers are based outside the EU and are therefore likely to transfer your data to third countries for which an adequate level of data protection is not necessarily guaranteed. Further information on the handling of your data can be obtained from the respective third-party providers:

LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland, Privacy Policy: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy

XING and kununu: New Work SE, Am Strandkai 1, 20457 Hamburg, Germany, https://privacy.xing.com/de/datenschutzerklaerung

As the parent companies of the aforementioned social media providers, with the exception of Xing and kununu, are US companies, information can also be transferred to the USA. In the event of a possible transfer of data to Linkedln and Meta (Facebook, Instagram), the level of data protection is improved by the use of standard contractual clauses recognized by the EU Commission. You can download a copy of the standard contractual clauses used by Facebook at the following link: https://www.facebook.com/help/566994660333381 apply, you can find information about LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/62538/datenubertragung-aus-der-eu-dem-ewr-und-der-schweiz?lang=de.

Nevertheless, there is currently no guarantee of an adequate level of data protection for the transfer of personal data to the USA. Your data may be subject to access by authorities for control and monitoring purposes, against which neither effective legal remedies nor data subject rights can be enforced. Therefore, please only visit the offers if you nevertheless agree to the transfer of your data to third countries (Art. 49 11 a EU GDPR).
