§10 Use of SoundCloud

What is SoundCloud?
We use functions (widgets) of the social media network SoundCloud of the company SoundCloud Limited, Rheinsberger Str. 76/77, 10115 Berlin, Germany on our website. You can recognise the widgets by the familiar orange logo. By using functions such as playing music, data is transmitted to SoundCloud, stored and analysed.

The social media network SoundCloud is an online music platform that serves the exchange and distribution of audio files. On SoundCloud, musicians or podcasters offer their audio files for download. In addition, SoundCloud can also be used to integrate audio files into other websites. Typical for SoundCloud are the graphic representations of the audio files in wave form and the comment bar. This allows registered users to listen to and comment on music tracks or podcasts at any time.

Why do we use SoundCloud on our website?
Our goal is to provide you with the best possible service on our website. Through the embedded SoundCloud playback function, we can deliver acoustic content to you directly and free of charge. You don't have to follow any link first to listen to an audio file, but can start right away via our website.

What data is stored on SoundCloud?
As soon as you visit one of our websites that has a widget (like or share button or play function) built in, your browser connects to a SoundCloud server. In the process, data from you may be transferred to SoundCloud, managed and stored there. For example, SoundCloud recognises in this way your IP address and which page (in this case ours) you visited and when. If you have a SoundCloud account and are logged in while browsing our website, the collected data will be directly assigned to your account. You can only prevent this by logging out of SoundCloud while you are on our website. In addition to the information mentioned above, data about your user behaviour is also stored in the cookies. For example, whenever you click a button, play or pause a piece of music, this information is stored in the cookies. The widget or SoundCloud is thus able to recognise you and sometimes the widget is also used to deliver personalised content to you. SoundCloud not only uses its own cookies, but also cookies from third-party providers such as Facebook or Google Analytics. These cookies serve the company to get more information about your behaviour on external websites and its own platform. We, as the website operator, do not receive any information about your user behaviour through the cookies used by SoundCloud. The data transfer and therefore also the information about technical devices and your behaviour on the website takes place between you and SoundCloud.

How long and where is the data stored?
In principle, the collected data remains stored at SoundCloud as long as a user account exists or as long as it is necessary for SoundCloud to achieve its business objectives. Exactly how long data is stored changes depending on the context and legal obligations. Even if you do not have an account and personal data has been stored, you have the right to request data deletion.

How can I delete my data or prevent data storage?
If you have a SoundCloud account, you can manage data processing or delete your entire account via "Settings". But you can also manage, delete or deactivate cookies in your browser exactly according to your needs. The approach always depends on the browser you use. If you decide to delete or deactivate cookies, please note that all functions may then no longer be available.

Legal basis
We only use the embedded SoundCloud elements insofar as you have given your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO/GDPR). SoundCloud also sets cookies in your browser to store data. That is why we recommend that you view the privacy policy or cookie policy of the respective service provider.

§11 Use of Google Tag Manager

(1) We use the Google Tag Manager on our website.

(2) The Google Tag Manager allows us to integrate various codes and services on our website in an ordered and simplified way. The Google Tag Manager implements the tags or "triggers" the integrated tags. When triggering a tag, Google may process information (including personal data).

In particular, the following personal data is processed by the Google Tag Manager:

  • Online tags (including cookie identifiers)
  • IP address

(3) You can find more detailed information about the Google Tag Manager on the websites https://www.google.de/tagmanager/use-policy.html and https://www.google.com/intlde/policies/privacy/index.html under the section "Data we receive as a result of your use of our services".

(4) Furthermore, we have concluded a contract with Google for the use of the Google Tag Manager for order processing. Google processes the data on our behalf to trigger the deposited tags and to display the services on our website. Google may transfer this information to third parties if required by law or if third parties process this data on behalf of Google. The legal basis for the use of Google Tag Manager is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

(5) If you have deactivated individual tracking services (e.g. by rejecting a cookie), the deactivation will remain in effect for all tracking tags concerned which are integrated by the Google Tag Manager.

(6) By integrating the Google Tag Manager, we pursue the purpose of being able to integrate various services in a simplified and clear manner. Furthermore, the integration of the Google Tag Manager optimizes the loading times of the different services.

(7) Third party provider information: Google Dublin, Google Ireland Ltd, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

§12 Use of Google Optimize

(1) We use Google Optimize on our website, which is a service linked to Google Analytics. Through so-called A/B tests, the use of different variants of our website is analysed. This allows us to better understand the concerns of our users and design the website accordingly to be more user-friendly. We only use Google Optimize if you have given us your express consent to do so via the cookie banner.

(2) Google Optimize uses so-called "cookies", which enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website (including your IP address) is transmitted to a Google server and saved there. IP anonymisation has been activated on this website so that the user's IP address is shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating the use of the website by users, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator.

(3) Further information on Google Optimize can be found at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

§13 Use of LinkedIn Analytics and LinkedIn Ads

(1) This website uses the conversion tracking technology and the retargeting function of LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland. With the help of this technology, visitors to this website can be shown personalised advertisements on LinkedIn. Furthermore, it is possible to create anonymous reports on the performance of the adverts and information on website interaction. For this purpose, the LinkedIn Insight tag is integrated on this website, which establishes a connection to the LinkedIn server if you visit this website and are logged into your LinkedIn account at the same time.
In LinkedIn's privacy policy at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy you will find further information on data collection and use as well as the options and rights to protect your privacy. If you are logged in to LinkedIn, you can deactivate data collection at any time by clicking on the following link: https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/enhanced-advertising.

(2) The legal basis for the use of LinkedIn Analytics and LinkedIn Ads is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit a GDPR.

§14 Use of Google Fonts

We do not use "Google Web Fonts" (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA) to display fonts on this website.

However, when using Google services used on this website, such as Google Maps or YouTube, it may happen that fonts from the Google Fonts offer are loaded as part of such a service. We have no influence on this.

The privacy policy of the library operator Google can be found here: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.

§15 Online presence in social media

We maintain online presences within social networks in order to inform the users active there about our services and to communicate directly via the platforms, if they are interested. We are currently represented in the following networks:

All of our social media channels can only be accessed by website visitors via an external link. We do not use any plug-ins or other interfaces on our website that offer the respective networks for embedding the offers on websites.

We have no influence on the data collection and its further use by the social networks. For example, we have no knowledge of the extent to which, where and for how long the data is stored, the extent to which the networks comply with existing deletion obligations, what evaluations and links are made with the data and to whom the data is passed on. We therefore explicitly point out that user data (e.g. personal information, IP address) is stored and used for business purposes by the network operators in accordance with their data usage guidelines.

We process users' data in social media insofar as they contact and communicate with us via comments or direct messages. The legal basis for the processing of user data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b and f GDPR.

No functions and contents within our online offering are integrated with Xing, offered by New Work SE, Dammtorstraße 29-32, 20354 Hamburg, Germany.

§16 Registration for Events & Webinars

a. Nature and purpose of the data processing
The data is processed solely for the purpose of offering and conducting events and webinars.

Before the event or webinar takes place
When you register for an event/webinar, we process the data you provide for registration and communication. Your name, email and company name will be stored. All other data is voluntary and can be provided optionally. Name and e-mail address are forwarded to a software platform for online webinars and stored there throughout the duration of the event and subsequent evaluation of participation. If we hold the event/webinar with a co-organising partner, the co-organisers will also have access to the event/webinar data including participant data. Upon registration, you will be informed of this circumstance and the respective obligation to inform will be made available to you.

During the delivery of a webinar
Information on meeting metadata
When you participate in the webinar, so-called meeting metadata is processed. These are the following categories of data: Topic, description (optional), participant IP address, device/hardware information, location, language settings, operating system.
For technical reasons, this data must be processed with regard to the respective webinar.
Data categories when dialling in with the telephone
When dialling in by telephone, details of the incoming and outgoing telephone number, country name, start and end time are processed. If necessary, further connection data such as the IP address can be stored in the case Voice-over-IP (VOIP) is used.
For technical reasons, it is necessary for this data to be processed with regard to the respective webinar.
Text data processing
If you use a chat, question or survey function in the webinar, this content data is processed for the purpose of communication within the webinar. In addition, the chat history is stored in a text file that reflects the name, first name (or a pseudonym) and the text of the chat message. This data will only be processed for the purpose of following up on the content of the webinar and will only be used in anonymised form for internal analysis purposes.
Audio and video data processing
Our webinars are always recorded. If you participate with verbal contributions and/or also use the video function to enable visual transmission of your image, this personal data will be processed for the purpose of communication within the webinar. It is up to you to use these functions. Only if you activate the microphone or the camera of your terminal device yourself, can the aforementioned data processing take place.
Data processing when recording webinars
Webinars are always recorded. If you have joined via video or microphone function and we use this recording for downloading for third parties or similar, we will obtain your consent for this. You can see at any time whether a recording is taking place: This is usually indicated to you by the red Record button in the software. In addition, we verbally point out a recording at the beginning.
Processing of photo and video recordings at on-site events
During our on-site events, there is the possibility that photo and/or video recordings will be made. These recordings may also be published on our website and/or social media channels. Before the start of the events, we will again specifically point out the taking and possible publication. We process this data on the basis of our legitimate interest, and you have the right to object at any time. To do so, please contact the photographer/videographer.

b. Legal basis of the processing
The legal basis for data processing when conducting events and webinars is Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR, insofar as the webinars/events are conducted within the scope of contractual relationships. If there is no contractual relationship, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Also in this case, it is the legitimate interest of our company to conduct effective and secure webinars/events.

c. Data categories
Are described in more detail under a.

d. Recipient
Provider of the corresponding webinar software, within the scope of order processing and, if applicable, cooperation partners who conduct the events and webinars with us.

e. Storage periods
All data relating to the webinar/event will be deleted no later than 6 months after the event, unless there are statutory retention obligations or you have given us your consent for further processing.

f. Third country transfer
Processing also takes place outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA). Depending on the provider of the webinar software, this provider may be located in a so-called unsafe third country. As a result, this provider had to guarantee us compliance with an adequate level of protection within the meaning of Art. 44 et seq. GDPR. This adequate level of protection is guaranteed by the use of the so-called EU standard contractual clauses.

g. Automated decision making and profiling
As a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision-making or profiling for this data processing.

§17 Chatbot

We also use the chatbot software SAP Conversational AI. The service provider is SAP Deutschland SE & CO. KG, Hasso-Plattner-Ring 7, 69190 Walldorf, Germany.

We process your personal data in order to provide you with the service of our chatbot. In the chatbot, apsolut answers users' frequently asked questions about technologies in the areas of Conversational Artificial Intelligence (CAI) and Robotic Process Automation (RPA).

The data processing is based on your express consent pursuant to Art. Art. 6 para. 1 lit a GDPR. Your personal data will only be stored by us for as long as is necessary to achieve the purposes for which this personal data was collected or until you have withdrawn your consent.

Your data will be stored on servers of SAP Deutschland SE & CO. KG in Germany.
However, as SAP is fundamentally a US company, data transfer to the USA cannot be completely ruled out. SAP uses so-called standard contractual clauses (= Art. 46. para. 2 and 3 GDPR) as the basis for data processing for recipients based in third countries or for a transfer of data there. Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) are template contracts provided by the EU Commission and are intended to ensure that your data comply with European data protection standards even if they are transferred to third countries (such as the USA) and stored there. Through these clauses, SAP is bound to comply with the European level of data protection when processing your relevant data, even if the data is stored, processed and managed in the USA.

For more information on SAP's data processing and standard contractual clauses, please visit https://www.sap.com/documents/2021/06/84516981-e97d-0010-bca6-c68f7e60039b.html.

To learn more about the data processed through the use of SAP Conversational AI, please see the Privacy Policy at https://www.sap.com/about/legal/privacy.html.

§18 Processing of your data in the context of automated decision-making / profiling

In principle, you have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. In particular, these decisions may not regularly be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Art. 9 (1) GDPR. We do not use any corresponding decision-making processes within the scope of our website and the associated data processing.

§3 Processing scope

(1) Categories of personal data

Your personal data is generally collected directly from you as part of the recruitment process, in particular from the application documents, the job interview and from the personnel questionnaire. 


We also receive data from third parties (e.g. Flynn, Agentur für Arbeit).

We also process personal data that we have obtained with permission from publicly accessible sources (e.g. professional networks). 


In the context of the application procedure, we process the following personal data:

  • Your master data (such as first name, last name, name affixes, date of birth) 

  • If necessary, work permit / residence permit 

  • Contact information (such as private address, (mobile) phone number, e-mail address), 

  • Skill data (e.g. special knowledge and skills) 


  • Curriculum vitae data (e.g. school education, vocational training, work experience, language skills)
  • Documents related to applications (application photos, cover letter, certificates, references, work samples, etc.)

(2) Storage duration

If you are hired, we will transfer your application documents into your personnel file. After termination of the employment relationship, we will continue storing those personal data we are legally obliged to keep. This regularly results from legal obligations to provide evidence and to retain data, which are regulated in the German Commercial Code and the German Fiscal Code, among others. The storage periods thereafter are up to ten years. In addition, personal data may be stored for the time during which claims can be made against us (statutory limitation period of three or up to thirty years).

In the event of a rejection, your application documents will be deleted no later than six months after completion of the application process, unless you have given us your consent to longer storage (talent pool).

(3) Processing purposes and legal basis

We process your personal data in accordance with the provisions of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

The primary purpose of data processing is to establish the employment relationship. The primary legal basis for this is Art. 88 para. 1 GDPR in conjunction with § 26 para. 1 FDPA.

our data will be processed exclusively for the purpose of filling the specific position for which you have applied.

If you would like to be included in our talent pool in the event of a rejection, we require a declaration of consent from you.

If your application is to be considered for other open positions in the company, we need a declaration of consent from you.

(4) Obligation to provide data

In order to be able to consider your application, we need the personal data from you that are necessary for the decision on the establishment of the employment relationship.

(5) Existence of an automated decision making process

The processing of data relating to you by us is not related to automated decision making or profiling.

§4 Transfer and foreign reference

(1) Recipient / categories of recipients

Within our company, only those persons and positions (e.g. department) receive your personal data that are involved in the decision about your employment.

In the course of the necessary business processes and application procedures, our specialist departments are supported in fulfilling their tasks by using appropriate software solutions such as Softgarden (further information).

(2) Intention of the transfer to a third country

We do not transfer your applicant data to third countries.

§5 Chatbot

We also use the chatbot software SAP Conversational AI. The service provider is SAP Deutschland SE & CO. KG, Hasso-Plattner-Ring 7, 69190 Walldorf, Germany.

We process your personal data in order to provide you with the service of our chatbot. In the chatbot, apsolut answers users' frequently asked questions about the work environment at apsolut in general and about application procedures.

The data processing is based on your express consent pursuant to Art. Art. 6 para. 1 lit a GDPR. Your personal data will only be stored by us for as long as is necessary to achieve the purposes for which this personal data was collected or until you have withdrawn your consent.

Your data will be stored on servers of SAP Deutschland SE & CO. KG in Germany.
However, as SAP is fundamentally a US company, data transfer to the USA cannot be completely ruled out. SAP uses so-called standard contractual clauses (= Art. 46. para. 2 and 3 GDPR) as the basis for data processing for recipients based in third countries or for a transfer of data there. Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) are template contracts provided by the EU Commission and are intended to ensure that your data comply with European data protection standards even if they are transferred to third countries (such as the USA) and stored there. Through these clauses, SAP is bound to comply with the European level of data protection when processing your relevant data, even if the data is stored, processed and managed in the USA.

For more information on SAP's data processing and standard contractual clauses, please visit https://www.sap.com/documents/2021/06/84516981-e97d-0010-bca6-c68f7e60039b.html.

§3 Processing scope

(1) Categories of personal data

We process the following personal data as part of and to initiate a contract:

  • Contact data (e.g. first and last names of the current and, if applicable, previous contact persons as well as name extensions, company name) and address of the customer (employer, mobile, landline telephone number with extension, e-mail address, fax number)
  • Job-related data (e.g. function in the company, department)
  • If applicable, date of birth, contact picture, length of service or similar (for customer service purposes, if you provide us with this provide information on your own initiative)

(2) Data source

We process personal data that we receive from our customers and business partners in the course of our business relations. In addition, we process personal data which we obtain with permision from publicly accessible sources (e.g.: Internet, commercial and association register, press) or which are legitimately transmitted to us by other companies or third parties.

(3) Storage duration

We process and store your personal data as long as it is necessary to fulfill our contractual and legal obligations. We will of course comply with our obligations to delete personal data even if not explicitly requested by our customers. Such obligations result, for example, from Art. 17 GDPR. Deletion is then required, inter alia, if the personal data are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.

However, there are personal data which are exempt from this deletion obligation and where we are even obliged by other laws to continue storing them. For example, there are obligations to store data according to § 257 German Commercial Code (HGB) and § 147 German Fiscal Code (AO). We only store this data to comply with legal storage obligations. Upon expiration of the retention periods, we will immediately delete this data without you having to request that we do so.

(4) Processing purposes and legal basis

We process your personal data to initiate or execute our contractual relationship. This is necessary to comply with the obligations arising from our business relationship. The processing basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR

It is in apsolut's interest to maintain the customer relationship with you and to send you information and offers about our products and services. We therefore process your data in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR and §7 Para. 3 UWG in order to send you the relevant information and offers by e-mail and to conduct webinars, online meetings, and customer satisfaction surveys. If you do not wish for this, you can object to the use of your personal data for the purpose of direct advertising at any time. If you object, we will no longer process your data for this purpose.

If you have given us your consent to process personal data for specific purposes, the lawfulness of this - targeted - processing is given on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 letter a GDPR. A given consent can be revoked at any time. The revocation of a consent is only effective for the future and does not affect the legality of the data processed until revocation. Regarding the participation in webinars or online meetings, for example, the following applies: We only use the audio or video recording function and the use of functions that are not necessary for a webinar or meeting on the legal basis of the consent of the persons concerned in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 letter a GDPR.

The declaration of consent is obtained in advance. Should it be necessary, we will process your data beyond the actual fulfillment of the contract to protect legitimate interests of us or third parties, in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. This is necessary, for example, for the assertion of legal claims and defence in legal disputes, for the prevention or investigation of criminal offences for consultation and data exchange with credit agencies or for measures for business management and further development of services and products.

Under certain circumstances, the provision of personal data is required by law or contract. Processing is then required in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR to fulfil a legal obligation to which we are subject.

(5) Obligation to provide and possible consequences of nonprovision

Within the scope of our business relations, you are obliged to provide us with those personal data which are necessary for the initiation, execution and termination of a business relationship and for the fulfilment of the associated contractual obligations or which we are legally obliged to collect. Without this data we are regularly not in a position to conclude, execute or terminate a contract with you.

(6) Existence of automated decision making

The processing of data relating to you by us is not related to automated decision making or profiling.

§4 Transfer and foreign reference

(1) Recipient/ categories of recipients

The processing of your data by us is primarily for the purpose of fulfilling and performing our contractual obligations, in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. For this purpose we also use mail-order companies, credit agencies, lawyers, tax consultants and other business partners necessary for the fulfilment of the contract. In this context, personal information such as name, address, date of birth, invoices and other invoice and financial data such as tax number, commercial register number, etc. are forwarded.

A transfer to third parties is only possible if:

  • you have given your explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR;
  • this is required in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR for the performance/fulfillment of a contract with you or
  • in the event of a legal obligation to pass on the data pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR.

Joint responsibility, contact data, company data protection officer

Together with Facebook, we are responsible for for operating our Facebook fan page according to art. 26 GDPR/ § 28 KDG. For this purpose, we have entered into an agreement with Facebook to determine who fulfils which obligations with regard to data protection. This agreement can be accessed here (https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/page_controller_addendum). According to this agreement, Facebook is primarily responsible for providing the person responsible with information about the joint processing and for enabling the person responsible to exercise his or her data protection rights. Irrespective of this, we hereby inform you about your visit to our fan page.

Collection and storage of personal data as well as type, purpose and their use

a) Data collected by Facebook:

If you are a Facebook user, Facebook collects the information described in the Facebook Data policy under "What types of information do we collect? If you are not a Facebook user, cookies, small text files containing identifiers, may still be stored in your browser to track your user behavior.

As a general rule, when you visit Facebook, the user data is also processed by Facebook for market research and advertising purposes. Based on user behaviour (also when visiting our fan page), complex user profiles are created, which Facebook can use to display personalised advertisements to the visitor inside and outside of Facebook. You can also find more detailed information on this in the Facebook Data policy.

If you do not agree with this, you can opt out here.

b) Data used by us ("page insights") and legal basis

Facebook provides us with statistics and usage data, which we can use to analyse the use of our fan page (so-called "page insights"). This enables us to continuously improve our offering on Facebook. We as operators do not make any decisions regarding the processing of Insights data and all other information resulting from Art. 13 GDPR/ § 14 KDG, such as the storage duration of cookies on user devices. In accordance with the GDPR it is Facebook's primary responsibility to process Insights data and Facebook fulfils all obligations under the GDPR with regard to the processing of Insights data.

We as site administrators have no other possibility, not even via user tracking, to evaluate user behavior on our fan page. It is also fundamentally impossible for us to identify the visitor of the fan page on the basis of the Page-Insights. In particular, according to the agreement, we have no right to require Facebook to disclose individual visitor data. We are only able to identify a visitor if we can assign individual profile pictures to"like" information for the page, but only if our fan page has been marked "liked" by the respective visitor and the "liked" information is set to "public".

If you would like to learn what information Facebook uses to create Page Insights, please click here.

The operation of the Faceboook fan page and the use of the Page Insights serves our legitimate interest in an effective external presentation and efficient communication with our customers and interested parties. This interest justifies the operation of the page both against the legitimate interests of Facebook users, as well as against visitors to our fan page who do not have a Facebook account. The legal basis is accordingly Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR/ § 6 para. 1 lit. g) KDG.

Transfer of data to third parties

Data collected by Facebook is exchanged and processed within the entire Facebook group. The Facebook Group also includes, for example, Instagram, WhatsApp and Oculus. For example, information collected via Facebook is used to display personalized advertising to users on Instagram, or information from WhatsApp is used to take action on Facebook against accounts that send spam via WhatsApp. This information can be found in the Facebook Data Policy under "How do Facebook companies work together?".

Facebook's processing of data may involve the transfer of user data outside the European Economic Area (EEA), particularly the United States. For more information on the processing of your data, please refer to the Facebook privacy policy: https://facebook.com/privacy/explanation

Right of objection

If your personal data are processed on the basis of legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 Par. 1 letter f) GDPR/ Art. 6 Par. 1 letter g) KDG, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR/ Art. 23 KDG if there are reasons for doing so That arise from your particular situation or if the objection is directed against direct marketing. In the latter case you have a general right of objection, which will be implemented by us without indication of a special situation. If you wish to exercise your right of revocation or objection, simply send an e-mail to privacy@ap-solut.com.

Rights of persons concerned

You have the right to revoke your consent given to us at any time. As a result, we are not allowed to continue the data processing that was based on this consent for the future. Furthermore, you have the right to information according to Art. 15 GDPR/ § 17 KDG, the right to correction according to Art. 16 GDPR / § 18 KDG, the right to deletion according to Art. 17 GDPR / § 19 KDG, the right to restriction of processing according to Art. 18 GDPR/ § 20 KDG, as well as the right to data transferability according to Art. 21 GDPR/ § 22 KDG. Furthermore, there is a right of appeal to a competent data protection supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR/ § 48 KDG).

In principle, you can assert your rights as a person concerned against Facebook as well as against us. Since only Facebook has direct access to your user data, you can most effectively assert your rights as a person concerned against Facebook.

If you have any questions regarding this data protection notice, you can contact us or our data protection officer at any time.
