1. Data protection at a glance

General information

The following information provides a simple overview of what happens to your personal data when you visit this website. Personal data is any data with which you can be personally identified. Detailed information on the subject of data protection can be found in our privacy policy listed below this text.

Data collection on this website

Who is responsible for data collection on this website?

Data processing on this website is carried out by the website operator. You can find the operator’s contact details in the section “Information on the responsible entity” in this privacy policy.

How do we collect your data?

On the one hand, your data is collected when you provide it to us. This may include, for example, data that you enter into a contact form.

Other data is collected automatically by our IT systems when you visit the website, either automatically or after your consent has been obtained. This mainly includes technical data (e.g., internet browser, operating system, or time of page access). This data is collected automatically as soon as you enter this website.

What do we use your data for?

Some of the data is collected to ensure error-free provision of the website. Other data may be used to analyze your user behavior.

What rights do you have regarding your data?

You have the right to receive information free of charge at any time about the origin, recipients, and purpose of your stored personal data. You also have the right to request the correction or deletion of this data. If you have given consent to data processing, you can revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future. You also have the right, under certain circumstances, to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. Furthermore, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.

You can contact us at any time regarding this or any other questions relating to data protection.

Analysis tools and third-party tools

When you visit this website, your browsing behavior may be statistically evaluated. This is mainly done using so-called analysis programs.

Detailed information on these analysis programs can be found in the following privacy policy.

2. Hosting and Content Delivery Networks (CDN)

Hosting

If, as a visitor, you neither contact us via the contact form nor make a purchase, we collect the following data transmitted by your browser in so-called log files:

IP address, date and time of the request, time zone difference to Greenwich Mean Time, content of the request, HTTP status code, amount of data transferred, website from which the request originates, and information on the browser and operating system.

This is required to display our website, ensure stability and security, enable our host to invoice us for services rendered, and ensure efficient delivery of the website. This corresponds to our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

We use the following host to provide our website:Kinsta Inc.
Attn: Privacy and Data Protection Team
8605 Santa Monica Blvd #92581
West Hollywood, CA 90069
USA
privacy@kinsta.com

Kinsta primarily uses the Google Cloud Platform service operated by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”) for its infrastructure.

Kinsta has implemented compliance measures for international data transfers with Google. These apply to all worldwide activities in which Kinsta processes personal data of individuals in the EU. These measures are based on the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs).

Kinsta is a recipient of your personal data and acts as a processor on our behalf. This corresponds to our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR in not having to maintain a server on our own premises. The server location is Germany.

Further information on objection and removal options vis-à-vis Kinsta Inc. can be found at: https://kinsta.com/legal/privacy-policy/

You have the right to object to the processing. Whether the objection is successful must be determined as part of a balancing of interests.

The data will be deleted after 30 days.

The processing of the data specified in this section is neither legally nor contractually required. The functionality of the website cannot be guaranteed without this processing.

Processing under contract

We have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) with the provider named above. This is a contract required under data protection law that ensures that the provider processes the personal data of our website visitors only in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.

3. General information and mandatory information

Data protection

The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations as well as this privacy policy.

When you use this website, various personal data are collected. Personal data are data with which you can be personally identified. This privacy policy explains which data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.

We point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., communication by email) may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Information on the responsible entity

The responsible entity for data processing on this website is:contentkueche GmbH
Represented by: Nadine Meyer
Herzogstraße 64
80803 Munich
Phone: 089/20070899
Email: contact@futureofsportshub.com

The responsible entity is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g., names, email addresses, etc.).

Storage period

Unless a more specific storage period has been specified within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, the deletion takes place after these reasons no longer apply.

General information on the legal bases for data processing on this website

If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR or Art. 9(2) lit. a GDPR, insofar as special categories of data are processed pursuant to Art. 9(1) GDPR. In the case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, processing is also based on Art. 49(1) lit. a GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to access to information on your device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), processing is additionally based on § 25(1) TTDSG. Consent may be revoked at any time. If your data is required for contract performance or for carrying out pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1) lit. b GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data if this is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation on the basis of Art. 6(1) lit. c GDPR. Data processing may also be based on our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1) lit. f GDPR. The relevant legal bases in each individual case are explained in the following sections of this privacy policy.

Information on data transfers to the USA and other third countries

Among other things, we use tools from companies based in the USA or other third countries that are not considered safe under data protection law. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these third countries and processed there. We point out that a level of data protection comparable to that in the EU cannot be guaranteed in these countries. For example, US companies are obligated to provide personal data to security authorities without you being able to take legal action as a data subject. It therefore cannot be ruled out that US authorities (e.g., intelligence services) may process, analyze, and permanently store your data located on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.

Revocation of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke consent you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out before the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)

IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6(1) LIT. E OR F GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO OBJECT, FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT ADVERTISING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH ADVERTISING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING INSOFAR AS IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT ADVERTISING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT ADVERTISING (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged infringement. This right exists without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will be done only insofar as it is technically feasible.

SSL or TLS encryption

This site uses SSL/TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries you send to us as the website operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the browser address line changing from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

If SSL/TLS encryption is activated, data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Information, deletion and correction

Within the scope of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing and, if applicable, a right to correction or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time regarding this or any other questions relating to personal data.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

  • If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.
  • If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
  • If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend, or assert legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of processing instead of deletion.
  • If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data may—apart from being stored—only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.

Objection to advertising emails

We hereby object to the use of contact data published within the scope of the legal notice obligation for sending unsolicited advertising and information material. The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited sending of advertising information, for example through spam emails.

4. Data collection on this website

Cookies

Our websites use so-called “cookies.” Cookies are small text files and do not cause any damage to your device. They are stored either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or your web browser automatically deletes them.

In some cases, cookies from third-party companies may also be stored on your device when you enter our site (third-party cookies). These enable us or you to use certain services of the third-party company (e.g., cookies for processing payment services).

Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies are used to evaluate user behavior or display advertising.

Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process, to provide certain functions you request (e.g., for the shopping cart function), or to optimize the website (e.g., cookies for measuring the web audience) (necessary cookies) are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1) lit. f GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent for the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies was requested, processing takes place exclusively on the basis of that consent (Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG); consent can be revoked at any time.

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be restricted.

If cookies are used by third-party companies or for analysis purposes, we will inform you separately about this within the scope of this privacy policy and, if necessary, request your consent.

Server log files

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system used
  • Referrer URL
  • Hostname of the accessing computer
  • Time of server request
  • IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources.

This data is collected on the basis of Art. 6(1) lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of its website—this requires the collection of server log files.

Enquiries by email, telephone or fax

If you contact us by email, telephone, or fax, your enquiry including all personal data resulting from it (name, enquiry) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We do not pass this data on without your consent.

This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6(1) lit. b GDPR if your enquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively processing enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1) lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR) if this was requested; consent can be revoked at any time.

The data you send to us via contact requests will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions—especially statutory retention periods—remain unaffected.

CookieYes

Our website uses CookieYes to obtain your consent for storing certain cookies on your device or for using certain technologies and to document this in a data protection-compliant manner. The provider of this technology is Mozilor Limited t/a CookieYes, 3 Warren Yard, Wolverton Mill, Milton Keynes, England, MK12 5NW, United Kingdom (hereinafter “CookieYes”).

When you enter our website, a connection to the CookieYes servers is established in order to obtain your consents and other declarations regarding cookie usage. CookieYes then stores a cookie in your browser in order to be able to assign the consents granted or their revocation to you. The data collected in this way will be stored until you request deletion, delete the CookieYes cookie yourself, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Mandatory statutory retention obligations remain unaffected.

CookieYes is used to obtain the legally required consents for the use of cookies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6(1) sentence 1 lit. c GDPR.

5. Analysis tools and advertising

Google Tag Manager

We use Google Tag Manager. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Tag Manager is a tool that helps us integrate tracking or statistics tools and other technologies on our website. Google Tag Manager itself does not create user profiles, does not store cookies, and does not carry out any independent analyses. It merely serves to manage and deliver the tools integrated via it. However, Google Tag Manager records your IP address, which may also be transferred to Google’s parent company in the United States.

Google Tag Manager is used on the basis of Art. 6(1) lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the fast and uncomplicated integration and management of various tools on its website. If corresponding consent was requested, processing takes place exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s end device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

Google Analytics

This website uses functions of the web analytics service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Analytics enables the website operator to analyze the behavior of website visitors. In doing so, the website operator receives various usage data, such as page views, length of stay, operating systems used, and the user’s origin. This data is summarized in a user ID and assigned to the respective device of the website visitor.

Google Analytics uses technologies that enable the recognition of the user for the purpose of analyzing user behavior (e.g., cookies or device fingerprinting). The information collected by Google about the use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

This service is used on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

The transfer of data to the USA is based on the EU Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses. Details can be found here: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/

IP anonymization

We have activated IP anonymization on this website. This means that your IP address is truncated by Google within EU Member States or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide further services related to website and internet usage for the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data.

Browser plugin

You can prevent the collection and processing of your data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de

More information on how Google Analytics handles user data can be found in Google’s privacy policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de

Processing under contract

We have concluded a data processing agreement with Google and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.

etracker

This website uses the analysis service etracker. The provider is etracker GmbH, Erste Brunnenstraße 1, 20459 Hamburg, Germany.

With etracker, we can analyze the behavior of our website visitors. For this purpose, etracker collects, among other things, your shortened email address, geo information (maximum city level), log files, and other information that your browser transmits to our web server when you access the website. This allows us to measure website interactions such as length of stay, conversions (e.g., registrations, orders), scroll events, clicks, and page views of the website visitor. These interactions are assigned to the website visitor for the duration of the current day so that they can be recognized when visiting again. After the day ends, visitor recognition is no longer possible.

Without your consent, no cookies are stored in your browser and no information is read from your device’s memory. Use of this cookieless analysis tool is based on Art. 6(1) lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize both its web offering and its advertising. The rights and fundamental freedoms of the data subjects are safeguarded. The IP address is anonymized as early as possible when analyzed with etracker and visitor recognition is possible for a maximum of the duration of the current day.

If corresponding consent was requested, processing takes place exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

You can deactivate etracker here:

At this point, the opt-out button for etracker is automatically generated.

Processing under contract

We have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) with the provider named above. This is a contract required under data protection law that ensures that the provider processes the personal data of our website visitors only in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.

Google AdSense (non-personalized)

This website uses Google AdSense, a service for integrating advertisements. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

We use Google AdSense in “non-personalized” mode. Unlike personalized mode, the ads are therefore not based on your previous user behavior and no user profile is created. Instead, so-called “context information” is used when selecting ads. The selected ads are then based, for example, on your location, the content of the website you are on, or your current search terms. More information on the differences between personalized and non-personalized targeting with Google AdSense can be found at: https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/9007336

Please note that even when using Google AdSense in non-personalized mode, cookies or comparable recognition technologies (e.g., device fingerprinting) may be used. According to Google, these are used to combat fraud and misuse.

This service is used on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

The transfer of data to the USA is based on the EU Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses. Details can be found here: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/

You can adjust your ad settings yourself in your user account. Click the following link and log in: https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated

Further information on Google’s advertising technologies can be found here: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads and https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/

Facebook Pixel

This website uses the Facebook visitor action pixel for conversion measurement. The provider of this service is Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland. According to Facebook, the data collected is also transferred to the USA and other third countries.

This makes it possible to track the behavior of site visitors after they have been redirected to the provider’s website by clicking on a Facebook advertisement. This allows the effectiveness of Facebook ads to be evaluated for statistical and market research purposes and future advertising measures to be optimized.

The data collected is anonymous for us as the operator of this website; we cannot draw any conclusions about the identity of users. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible and Facebook can use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with Facebook’s data usage policy. This enables Facebook to place advertisements on Facebook pages and outside of Facebook. This use of the data cannot be influenced by us as the website operator.

This service is used on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

The transfer of data to the USA is based on the EU Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses. Details can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/legal/EU_data_transfer_addendum and https://de-de.facebook.com/help/566994660333381

Insofar as personal data is collected on our website using the tool described here and forwarded to Facebook, we and Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland, are jointly responsible for this data processing (Art. 26 GDPR). The joint responsibility is limited exclusively to the collection of the data and its transfer to Facebook. Processing by Facebook after the transfer is not part of the joint responsibility. The obligations incumbent on us jointly have been set out in an agreement on joint processing. The wording of the agreement can be found at: https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum . According to this agreement, we are responsible for providing the data protection information when using the Facebook tool and for implementing the tool on our website in a data protection-compliant manner. Facebook is responsible for the data security of Facebook products. Data subject rights (e.g., requests for information) regarding the data processed by Facebook can be asserted directly with Facebook. If you assert your data subject rights with us, we are obliged to forward them to Facebook.

Further information on protecting your privacy can be found in Facebook’s privacy notices: https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/

You can also deactivate the remarketing function “Custom Audiences” in the ad settings at: https://www.facebook.com/ads/preferences/?entry_product=ad_settings_screen . You must be logged into Facebook to do this.

If you do not have a Facebook account, you can deactivate usage-based advertising from Facebook on the website of the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance: http://www.youronlinechoices.com/de/praferenzmanagement/

Facebook Conversion API

We have integrated the Facebook Conversion API on this website. The provider of this service is Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland. According to Facebook, the data collected is also transferred to the USA and other third countries.

If you click on one of our ads displayed on Facebook, we receive a temporary ID that allows us to record certain actions (e.g., clicking on a subpage, completing a purchase, etc.). The recorded actions are transferred to Facebook together with your other data so that Facebook can show you interest-based advertising in the future. For this purpose, we transfer the following data to Facebook:

  • Email
  • Phone number
  • Gender
  • First and last name
  • City and postal code
  • IP address
  • Log data
  • Referrer

This service is used on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

The transfer of data to the USA is based on the EU Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses. Details can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/legal/EU_data_transfer_addendum https://de-de.facebook.com/help/566994660333381

7. Online marketing and affiliate programs

Affiliate programs on this website

We participate in affiliate partner programs. In affiliate partner programs, advertisements of a company (advertiser) are placed on websites of other companies in the affiliate partner network (publishers). If you click on one of these affiliate advertisements, you will be redirected to the advertised offer. If you subsequently carry out a certain transaction (conversion), the publisher receives remuneration for this. To calculate this remuneration, it is necessary for the affiliate network operator to track which advertisement you used to access the respective offer and that you completed the predefined transaction. For this purpose, cookies or comparable recognition technologies (e.g., device fingerprinting) are used.

Storage and analysis of data is based on Art. 6(1) lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the correct calculation of its affiliate remuneration. If corresponding consent was requested, processing takes place exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG.

Our social media presence

Data processing by social networks

We maintain publicly accessible profiles on social networks. The social networks we use are listed below.

Social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, etc. can generally analyze your user behavior comprehensively when you visit their website or a website with integrated social media content (e.g., like buttons or advertising banners). Visiting our social media presences triggers numerous data protection-relevant processing operations.

Legal basis

Our social media presences are intended to ensure the broadest possible presence on the Internet. This is a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1) lit. f GDPR. The analysis processes initiated by the social networks may be based on different legal bases to be specified by the social network operators (e.g., consent within the meaning of Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR).

Controller and assertion of rights

If you visit one of our social media presences (e.g., Facebook), we and the operator of the social media platform are jointly responsible for the data processing operations triggered by this visit. You can generally assert your rights (information, correction, deletion, restriction of processing, data portability and complaint) both against us and against the operator of the respective social media portal (e.g., against Facebook).

Please note that despite joint responsibility with the social media portal operators, we do not have full influence on the data processing operations of the social media portals. Our options depend largely on the corporate policy of the respective provider.

Storage period

Data collected directly by us via the social media presence will be deleted from our systems as soon as you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Stored cookies remain on your device until you delete them. Mandatory legal provisions— especially retention periods—remain unaffected.

We have no influence on the storage period of your data stored by the social network operators for their own purposes. For details, please contact the social network operators directly (e.g., in their privacy policies, see below).
