Social media plugins; presence on social media
We use social media plugins from Facebook Inc. on our websites. (“Facebook”) to recommend our articles published on Facebook and to allow you to share or like the articles. By integrating the plugins, Facebook receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding page of one of our websites.

If you interact with the social media plugins (e.g. with the “Like” button), the corresponding information is transmitted from your browser directly to Facebook and stored there.
In addition, we refer to our presence (company pages) on Facebook and LinkedIn on our websites. For the purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by the social networks, as well as your rights and setting options in this regard, please refer to the data protection information of the social networks.
Facebook uses cookies to collect information such as the number of people or demographics of users who view or comment on posts on our Facebook company page. We receive analytics from Facebook that contain only aggregated or otherwise sufficiently anonymized data. We use this to optimise our content and services offered on the Facebook company page.

How we process and protect your personal data; how long we keep it for
We collect and process your personal data in a trustworthy and responsible manner, only for the purposes described in this privacy policy and in accordance with applicable data protection laws. We only store your personal data for as long and to the extent that this is necessary for the purposes described or for legal reasons.
In the interest of confidentiality, integrity and contractual availability of personal data, we take appropriate technical and organizational measures. In particular, in accordance with our risk assessment, we implement admission controls, access controls as well as procedures to regularly review, assess and evaluate the effectiveness of the measures.

As far as legally permissible, we can therefore also refuse your data protection-related requests, e.g. requests for information and deletion, or only comply with them to a limited extent. However, you have the right to file a complaint with a competent supervisory authority.
