When using social media, we and the operator of the social network process personal data of the visitors to our fan pages. Protecting your personal data is very important to us. We therefore always treat your personal data as confidential and in compliance with the relevant data protection regulations, in particular the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Austrian Data Protection Act (DSG) and the Austrian Telecommunications Act (TKG).

3. Information about the social networks we use

a) Facebook

Every time you visit a Facebook page, Facebook sets cookies. Cookies are small text files that are stored on a visitor's device and are used to analyse the behaviour of Facebook users. This happens regardless of whether you are logged in to Facebook or not. Facebook uses these cookies both for advertising purposes and to generate statistics. Facebook makes these statistics available to the site operator in anonymised form via the Facebook Insights function.

We process these statistics to make our website even more relevant to our customers and potential customers. The personal data are processed on the basis of our legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) in being able to offer our customers and potential customers an attractive website and interesting posts and in promoting the success of our company via targeted advertising measures.

Information about the data processed for the Facebook Insights function is available at https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/information_about_page_insights_data. Information about Facebook's use of cookies is provided in the Facebook cookie policy at https://www.facebook.com/policies/cookies/. General information about how Facebook processes data and what data Facebook processes when you use Facebook products – such as our fan page – is provided in the Facebook privacy policy at https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/update. You can send queries to Facebook about their privacy policy using the form under the following link: https://www.facebook.com/help/contact/1650115808681298

The data controller responsible for the processing of personal data when we use Facebook is Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland. To assert your rights as a data subject and if you have any questions about data protection, please contact Facebook directly. You can use the following form to contact the data protection officer of Facebook Ireland Ltd: https://www.facebook.com/help/contact/540977946302970.

In its decision of 5 June 2018 (case number: C-210/16), the ECJ stated that the operator of a fan page is jointly and severally liable with Facebook for the processing of data. This joint responsibility means that we are required to conclude an agreement on our joint responsibility pursuant to Article 26 GDPR, which covers the key aspects of joint processing and the division of the performance of the controller’s duties. The Page Controller Addendum concluded between Facebook and us, as the site operator (available at https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/page_controller_addendum), contains an agreement between us and Facebook that Facebook shall, as far as possible, assume the obligations of the controller, in particular with regard to the processing of requests from data subjects. We are contractually obliged to forward your requests (as far as they concern the Insights Data agreement) to Facebook without delay. We therefore ask you to contact Facebook in the first instance for these purposes as well.

The Twitter privacy policy is available at https://twitter.com/de/privacy. The data controller is Twitter International Company, One Cumberland Place, Fenian Street, Dublin 2, Ireland. Queries about Twitter's privacy policy can be sent via the following link: https://help.twitter.com/forms/privacy.

e) YouTube

We use YouTube.com to post our own records and make them publicly available. YouTube is the service of a third-party company which is not affiliated with us, named YouTube LLC.

Some pages of our website may contain links or connections to content offered by YouTube. In general, we are not responsible for the content of websites to which links are provided on our website. We would like to point out that by clicking a link referring to YouTube, YouTube stores data of users (e.g. personal information, IP address) in accordance to its own data usage guidelines and uses it for business purposes.

We embed records stored on YouTube on some of our webpages. With this integration, content from the YouTube website is displayed in parts of the browser window. Users can only view these YouTube videos by clicking them separately. This technique is also called "framing". When you call up a (sub-)page of our website on which YouTube videos are embedded in this way, a connection is established to the YouTube servers and the content is displayed on the website by informing your browser.

4. Retention period for your data related to social networks

We only store your data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose of processing, to comply with legal obligations or to defend against possible liability claims. We have no influence over the retention periods of the social networks (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Xing). See the links in section 3 to the privacy policy of each social network for information; please address any queries in this regard directly to the provider of the social network.

5. Your rights

You have the right to obtain information about your personal data. Under certain circumstances, you also have the right to have your data rectified (corrected) or erased (deleted). You also have the right to restrict processing, to object to processing and to data portability, provided that the legal conditions are met. If we process your data to safeguard our legitimate interests, you have the right to object as soon as your specific situation gives rise to reasons that oppose the processing of your data. If data processing is carried out on the basis of your express consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time. To assert your rights as a data subject, please contact us using the contact details provided below.

If you believe that the processing of your personal data violates data protection regulations, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the responsible supervisory authority. In Austria, this is the Austrian Data Protection Authority (www.dsb.gv.at).
