DATA PROCESSING BY US

On the website provided by us via the social media provider, the social media provider grants us access to the following data categories:

The social media provider grants us access to statistical analyses that provide information about the use of our social media website. The analyses visible to us do not allow us to individually analyze the usage behavior of individuals. We can only view aggregated data (such as number of hits, likes, followers, region of origin, age group, gender, etc.) that tells us about our audience and the use of our social media site. The data of the respective user on which the analyses are based are not transmitted to us.

We can set the target group to be reached for the social media website or for individual published articles. The setting is based on general parameters (e.g. age group, language, region, interests) that can be used to align our content with specific groups. It is not possible for us to address or identify individual persons on the basis of the data provided to us by the social media provider.

If you contact us directly via the social media provider or interact with us in any other way and consciously transmit personal data (e.g. direct networking with our social media website), we store and process this personal data for the purposes for which you transmitted it to us.

We process this data exclusively for the purpose of making content on our social media website known to the target group and to better understand and optimise the use of our social media website.

In addition, we cannot influence the data processing (for the provision of this data upstream) by the social media provider.

7. Data security

We use the common TLS (Transport Layer Security)/SSL (Secure Socket Layer) method in conjunction with the highest level of encryption that is supported by your browser. As a rule, this is a 256-bit encryption. If your browser does not support 256-bit encryption, then we use 128-bit v3 technology instead. You can tell whether an individual page of our website is transmitted in encrypted form by the representation of closed key or lock symbol in the lower status bar of your browser.

We also employ suitable technical and organisational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction or against unauthorised access by third parties. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.
