We operate online presences within the scope of social networks and platforms in order to communicate with their users and to inform them about our offer.

Our cooperation is based on standard data protection clauses of the European Commission.
In addition, user data is generally also processed for market research and advertising purposes. For example, usage profiles are created from the usage behavior and the resulting interests of the users. These can then be used, for example, for personalized advertisements within and outside the platforms that correspond to the presumed interests of the users.
The technical implementation is usually carried out through the use of cookies, which are stored on the user’s computer. These contain the surfing behavior of the users, from which their interests can be deduced. It should be noted that data from other devices used by the user can also be stored in the usage profiles. This is particularly the case if the users are logged in as members of the respective platforms.
The processing of the users’ personal data takes place within the scope of the exercise of our legitimate interests in effective information of the users and communication with the users pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. DSGVO. In the event that users are requested by the respective providers of the platforms to give their consent to the aforementioned data processing, Art. 6 (1) lit. a., Art. 7 DSGVO is the legal basis for the processing.
