3. General notes 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 and this privacy policy.​

When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is data that can be used to personally identify you. This privacy policy explains what 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. when communicating by email) may have security gaps. A complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.​

Notice concerning the responsible party
​The responsible party for data processing on this website is:​

KOMBO medical solutions UG(haftungsbeschränkt)
Brunnenkamp 1
38642 Goslar – Germany​

Phone: +49 (0) 5321 35886 40
Email: info@dentaltwin.de​

The responsible party is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others decides on 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 in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for the data processing no longer applies. If you make 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, deletion will take place after these reasons cease to apply.​

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

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

Notice on data transfer to data protection-wise unsafe third countries and transfer to US companies that are not DPF-certified​

We use, among other things, tools from companies based in data protection-wise unsafe third countries as well as US tools whose providers are not certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these countries and processed there. We would like to point out that in data protection-wise unsafe third countries, a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU cannot be guaranteed.​

We would like to point out that the USA, as a secure third country, generally has a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU. Data transfer to the USA is therefore permissible if the recipient has a certification under the “EU-US Data Privacy Framework” (DPF) or has suitable additional safeguards. Information on transfers to third countries, including the data recipients, can be found in this privacy policy.​

Recipients of personal data​
In the course of our business activities, we work with various external parties. In some cases, the transfer of personal data to these external parties is also necessary. We only pass on personal data to external parties if this is necessary within the framework of contract performance, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g. transfer of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in the transfer pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, or if another legal basis permits the data transfer. When using processors, we only pass on the personal data of our customers on the basis of a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint controller agreement is concluded.​

Revocation of your consent to data processing
​Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke consent that has already been given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.​

Right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
​IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT, AT ANY TIME, TO OBJECT, ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA, INCLUDING PROFILING BASED ON THOSE PROVISIONS. THE RELEVANT LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING IN EACH CASE IS PROVIDED IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED 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 DEFENCE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR).​

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR SUCH MARKETING, WHICH INCLUDES PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (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 a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work or the place of the alleged violation. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.​

Right to data portability​
You have the right to have data that we process on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract automatically delivered to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of data to another controller, this will only be done as far as it is technically feasible.​

Access, rectification and deletion
​Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain information free of charge about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, the purpose of the data processing and, where applicable, a right to rectification or deletion of this data. For this purpose, as well as for further questions on the subject of personal data, you can contact us at any time.​

Right to restriction of processing​
You have the right to request the restriction of 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 contest 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 the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
  • ​If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
  • ​If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it for the exercise, defence or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data 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 the restriction of the processing of your personal data.​

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data – apart from being stored – may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of 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.​

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

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

Objection to advertising emails​
We hereby object to the use of contact data published within the scope of the legal notice obligation for the transmission of 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, such as spam emails.​

4. Data collection on this website

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

Cookies can originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies allow the integration of certain services from third-party companies within websites (e.g. cookies for processing payment services).​

Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. shopping cart function or display of videos). Other cookies can be used to analyse user behaviour or for advertising purposes.​

Cookies that are necessary to carry out the electronic communication process, to provide certain functions that you have requested (e.g. for the shopping cart function) or to optimise the website (e.g. cookies for measuring the web audience) (necessary cookies) are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimised provision of its services. If consent to the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG); consent can be revoked at any time.​

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies in 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 limited.​

Which cookies and services are used on this website can be found in this privacy policy.​

Consent with Usercentrics​
This website uses the consent technology of Usercentrics to obtain your consent to the storage of certain cookies on your device or to the use of certain technologies and to document this in a privacy-compliant manner. The provider of this technology is Usercentrics GmbH, Sendlinger Straße 7, 80331 Munich, Germany, website: https://usercentrics.com/de/ (“Usercentrics”).​

When you enter our website, the following personal data is transmitted to Usercentrics:​

  • Your consent(s) or revocation of your consent(s)
  • Your IP address
  • Information about your browser
  • Information about your device
  • Time of your visit to the website
  • Geolocation​

Usercentrics also stores a cookie in your browser to be able to assign the granted consent or its revocation. The data collected in this way is stored until you ask us to delete it, you delete the Usercentrics cookie yourself, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Mandatory statutory retention obligations remain unaffected.​

The Usercentrics banner on this website was configured with the help of eRecht24. You can recognise this by the fact that the eRecht24 logo appears in the banner. To display the eRecht24 logo in the banner, a connection is made to the image server of eRecht24. In this context, the IP address is also transmitted, which, however, is only stored in anonymised form in the server logs. The image server of eRecht24 is located in Germany with a German provider. The banner itself is provided exclusively by Usercentrics.​

The use of Usercentrics is to obtain the legally required consents for the use of certain technologies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR.​

Order processing​
We have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) for the use of the above-mentioned service. This is a contract required by data protection law which ensures that this provider processes the personal data of our website visitors only according to our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.​

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

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

This data is not merged with other data sources.​

The collection of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimisation of its website – for this purpose the server log files must be collected.​

Contact form
​If you send us enquiries via the contact form, your details from the enquiry form, including the contact details you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent.​

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, insofar as your enquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the execution of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if this has been requested; consent can be revoked at any time.​

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your enquiry has been fully processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.​

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

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, insofar as 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 the effective processing of enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if this has been requested; consent can be revoked at any time.​

The data you send to us via contact enquiries will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose of storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been dealt with). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.​

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 allows us to integrate tracking or statistical tools and other technologies on our website. Google Tag Manager itself does not create user profiles, does not store cookies and does not perform its own analyses. It only serves to manage and display the tools integrated via it. However, Google Tag Manager records your IP address, which may also be transmitted to the parent company of Google in the United States.​

The use of Google Tag Manager is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the quick and uncomplicated integration and management of various tools on its website. If corresponding consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or the access to information in the user’s device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time.​

The company is certified under the “EU-US Data Privacy Framework” (DPF). The DPF is an agreement between the European Union and the USA which is intended to ensure compliance with European data protection standards for data processing in the USA. Every company certified under the DPF is obliged to comply with these data protection standards.

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

Google Analytics enables the website operator to analyse the behaviour of website visitors. In doing so, the website operator receives various usage data, such as page views, length of stay, operating systems used and origin of the user. This data may be aggregated by Google into a profile that is assigned to the respective user or their device. No assignment to a user ID takes place.​

Furthermore, we can record your mouse and scroll movements and clicks with Google Analytics. Google Analytics also uses various modelling approaches to supplement the collected data sets and employs machine-learning technologies in data analysis.​

Google Analytics uses technologies that enable the recognition of the user for the purpose of analysing user behaviour (e.g. cookies or device fingerprinting). The information collected by Google about the use of this website is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.​

The use of this service is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time.​

Data transfer 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/.​

The company is certified under the “EU-US Data Privacy Framework” (DPF). The DPF is an agreement between the European Union and the USA which is intended to ensure compliance with European data protection standards for data processing in the USA. Every company certified under the DPF is obliged to comply with these data protection standards. Further information is available from the provider at the following link: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/participant/5780.​

IP anonymisation
​IP anonymisation is activated on this website. As a result, your IP address is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transmission to the USA. 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 to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activities and to provide other services related to website and internet use to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be 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.​

Order processing​
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.​

WP Statistics​
This website uses the analysis tool WP Statistics to statistically evaluate visitor access. The provider is Veronalabs, Tatari 64, 10134 Tallinn, Estonia (https://veronalabs.com).[1]

With WP Statistics we can analyse the use of our website. WP Statistics collects, among other things, log files (IP address, referrer, browsers used, origin of the user, search engine used) and actions that the website visitors have performed on the page (e.g. clicks and views).​

The data collected by WP Statistics is stored exclusively on our own server.​

The use of this analysis tool is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in the anonymised analysis of user behaviour in order to optimise both our web offering and our advertising. If corresponding consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or the access to information in the user’s device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time.​

IP anonymisation
We use WP Statistics with anonymised IP. Your IP address is shortened so that it can no longer be directly assigned to you.​

6. Newsletter​

Newsletter data
​If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require an email address from you and information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the email address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter. No further data is collected or only on a voluntary basis. For the processing of the newsletter, we use newsletter service providers, which are described below.​

Brevo​
This website uses Brevo for sending newsletters. The provider is Sendinblue GmbH, Köpenicker Straße 126, 10179 Berlin, Germany.​

Brevo is a service that can be used to organise and analyse newsletter distribution. The data you enter for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored on the servers of Sendinblue GmbH in Germany.​

Data analysis by Brevo
​With the help of Brevo, we are able to analyse our newsletter campaigns. For example, we can see whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links may have been clicked. In this way, we can determine, among other things, which links are clicked particularly often.​

We can also see whether certain predefined actions were performed after opening/clicking (conversion rate). For example, we can see whether you made a purchase after clicking on the newsletter.​

Brevo also allows us to subdivide the newsletter recipients into different categories (“cluster”). In doing so, the newsletter recipients can be classified by, for example, age, gender or place of residence. In this way, the newsletters can be better adapted to the respective target groups.​

If you do not want any analysis by Brevo, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. For this purpose, we provide a corresponding link in every newsletter message.​

You can find detailed information on the functions of Brevo at the following link: https://www.brevo.com/de/newsletter-software/.​

Legal basis​
Data processing is based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.​

Storage period​
The data you provide us with for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe. Data that has been stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected.​

After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your email address may be stored in a blacklist by us or the newsletter service provider, insofar as this is necessary to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist is used only for this purpose and is not merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Storage in the blacklist is not limited in time. You can object to storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.​

For more details, please refer to Brevo’s privacy policy at: https://www.brevo.com/de/datenschutz-uebersicht/ and https://www.brevo.com/de/legal/privacypolicy/.​

7. Plugins and tools​

YouTube with extended data protection mode​
This website embeds videos from the YouTube website. The operator of the website is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.​

When you visit one of our web pages on which YouTube is embedded, a connection to the YouTube servers is established. The YouTube server is informed which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to directly associate your surfing behaviour with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.​

We use YouTube in extended data protection mode. According to YouTube, videos that are played in extended data protection mode are not used to personalise browsing on YouTube. Ads displayed in extended data protection mode are also not personalised. In extended data protection mode, no cookies are set. Instead, so-called local storage elements are stored in the user’s browser, which, similar to cookies, can contain personal data and be used for recognition. Details on extended data protection mode can be found here: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/171780.​

Additional data processing operations may be triggered after a YouTube video has been started, over which we have no influence.​

We use YouTube in the interest of an attractive presentation of our online offers. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If appropriate consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or the access to information in the user’s device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time.​

The provider of this site has no influence on this data transfer. When Google Maps is activated, Google may use Google Fonts for the uniform display of fonts. When you call up Google Maps, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly.​

The use of Google Maps is in the interest of an attractive presentation of our online offers and in making it easy to find the locations we specify on the website. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If appropriate consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or the access to information in the user’s device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG.

Privacy policy for our social media profile pages

Our social media presences​
This privacy policy applies to the following social media presences:​

  • https://www.facebook.com/people/DentalTwin/61560475097420/
  • https://www.instagram.com/dentaltwin.ai/
  • https://www.linkedin.com/company/dentaltwin/?viewAsMember=true

Data processing by social networks​
We maintain publicly accessible profiles in social networks. The social networks we use in detail are listed below.​

Social networks such as Facebook, X etc. can usually comprehensively analyse your user behaviour if you visit their website or a website with integrated social media content (e.g. like buttons or advertising banners). When you visit our social media presences, numerous data protection-relevant processing operations are triggered. 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. Your personal data may also be collected even if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective social media portal. In this case, data collection takes place, for example, via cookies stored on your 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, this interest-based advertising can be displayed on all devices on which you are or were logged in.​

Please also note that we cannot trace all processing operations on the social media portals. Depending on the provider, additional processing operations may therefore be carried out by the operators of the social media portals. Details can be found in the terms of use and privacy policies of the respective social media portals.​

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)(f) GDPR. The analysis processes initiated by the social networks may be based on different legal bases, which are to be specified by the operators of the social networks (e.g. consent within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).​

Controller and assertion of rights
​If you visit one of our social media presences (e.g. Facebook), we are jointly responsible with the operator of the social media platform for the data processing operations triggered by this visit. You can exercise your rights (access, 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 Facebook).​

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 depend largely on the corporate policy of the respective provider.​

Storage duration​
The data we collect directly via the social media presence will be deleted from our systems as soon as you request us to do so, 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 duration of your data that 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).​

Your rights​
You have the right at any time to obtain information free of charge about the origin, recipient and purpose of your stored personal data. You also have a right of objection, a right to data portability and a right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. Furthermore, you can demand the rectification, blocking, deletion and, under certain circumstances, the restriction of the processing of your personal data.​
