In some cases, we rely on the support of external service providers to process personal data. These service providers work for us as processors. Processors are contractually bound to our instructions in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR and are regularly monitored. A contract for order processing has been concluded with all of them to ensure the protection of your personal data.

Data sources: We process the personal data that you provide to us via the respective social media platform or that we receive from the respective social media provider. Transfer to third countries: We only transfer personal data to countries outside the EU or the EEA if this is necessary for the operation of the social media channel or communication with you, if this is required by law, if the user has given their consent or in the context of order processing. In these cases, a transfer is only permitted if the European Commission has established an adequate level of data protection for the third country concerned or if suitable guarantees are provided and enforceable rights and effective legal remedies are available to the data subject.

For personal data from communication, we assume that further storage in the social media platforms is not necessary if it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified or our legitimate interest in processing has ceased to exist.
