Legal notice
You can find our complete legal notice with all other required information here: https://komuno.de/impressum/. If you visit one of our social media sites, we are jointly responsible with the operator of the social media platform for the data processing triggered by your visit. The details of the data controller on the part of the social media platform can be found via the links in the relevant section below. The following information relates to the data processing for which we are responsible. All information on the processing of personal data by komuno GmbH can be found in our privacy policy: https://komuno.de/datenschutz/.

2. Data processing by social networks

We maintain publicly accessible profiles on social networks. Details of the social networks we use can be found below. Social networks such as LinkedIn, for example, can generally analyse your user behaviour 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 sites triggers numerous processing operations relevant to data protection. In detail:
If you are logged into your social media account and visit our social media presence, the operator of the social media portal can assign this visit to your user account. However, your personal data may also be collected if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective social media portal. In this case, this data collection takes place, for example, via cookies that are stored on your end device or by recording your IP address.
With the help of the data collected in this way, the operators of the social media portals can create user profiles in which your preferences and interests are stored. In this way, interest-based advertising can be displayed to you inside and outside the respective social media presence. If you have an account with the respective social network, the Interest-based advertising may be displayed on all devices on which you are or were logged in.
Please also note that we are not able to track all processing on the social media portals. Depending on the provider, further processing operations may therefore be carried out by the operators of the social media portals. For details, please refer to the terms of use and data protection provisions of the respective social media portals.

3. Legal basis

Our social media presence is designed to ensure that we have as comprehensive a presence on the Internet as possible. This is a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The analysis processes initiated by the social networks may be based on different legal bases, which are to be stated by the operators of the social networks (e.g. consent within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR).

4. Collection of data and purposes of processing

Selectable by time period and various categories, the operator of the social media portal (e.g. LinkedIn) provides us with data related to our social media presence: Total page views, likes, comments, shared content, page activity, post interactions, reach, video views, post reach, replies. Due to the constant development of the operators of the social media portals, the availability and processing of the data changes. This means we refer to the privacy policy of the respective operator of the social media portal for further details. We use the data provided to us by the operator of the social media portal to make our social media presence more attractive to users. In accordance with the terms of use of the operator of the social media portal, which each user has agreed to as part of creating a profile (e.g. vis-à-vis LinkedIn), we can identify our network partners and followers and view their profiles and other shared information.

5. Data controller and assertion of rights

If you visit one of our social media sites (e.g. LinkedIn), we are jointly responsible with the operator of the social media platform for the data processing operations triggered during this visit. In principle, you can assert your rights (information, rectification, deletion, restriction of processing, data portability and complaint) both against us and against the operator of the respective social media portal (e.g. against LinkedIn).
Please note that despite the 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 are largely determined by the corporate policy of the respective provider.

6. Storage period

The data collected directly by us via the social media presence will be deleted from our systems as soon as the purpose for storing it no longer applies, you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to store it or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Stored cookies remain on your end device until you delete them. Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.
We have no influence on the storage period of your data, which is stored by the operators of the social networks for their own purposes. For details, please contact the operators of the social networks directly (e.g. in their privacy policy, see below).

7. Updates to this privacy notice

From time to time, it may be necessary to update this data protection information, for example due to new legal or official requirements or new offers on our website. We will then inform you here.
