As part of the website, we process your personal data as follows, among other things (for further data processing as part of the website, please refer to the following sections of this data protection declaration):

When you use our website, our hosting provider logs so-called “log file” data each time you access the server, such as the name of the website accessed, the previously visited page (“referrer” URL), product and version information of the browser and operating system used, the requesting provider, the date and time of access, the search engines used, the location of access, the amount of data transferred, the names of downloaded files and the IP address.
The legal basis for the processing is Article 6 paragraph 1 f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest in storing the log file data lies in ensuring system security, including the investigation of misuse. The IP addresses are deleted after a maximum of 7 days, unless they are required for longer due to a security-related incident, e.g. for clarification or evidence purposes.

The provision of this personal data is not required by law or contract or necessary for the conclusion of a contract. If you do not provide us with this data, however, we will not be able to answer your contact request or - in the case of limited contact details - not be able to answer all requested communication channels.
Registration:
When you register, we process your personal data such as name, address, email address, date of birth, self-selected user name, user picture or logo, etc., which we require to fulfill the contractual relationship with you or to carry out pre-contractual measures that are carried out at your request.
We store your personal data collected during registration for as long as it is necessary to fulfill the contractual relationship (if applicable, including the provision of the customer account) and/or to carry out pre-contractual measures at your request and/or with regard to warranty, guarantee or similar obligations and/or with regard to statutory retention periods.

When publishing user contributions/comments, we process your personal data such as your user name, if applicable your user picture or logo, your contribution or comment, etc., which we need to fulfill the contractual relationship with you regarding the use of the platform.
Your user contributions and comments are published in such a way that they are accessible to all visitors to the website, not just registered users. Your user name and, if applicable, your user picture or logo will be published.
User contributions can be publicly commented on and rated on the platform. You can be given a public user rank on the platform based on criteria such as the number of your user contributions, the rating of your contributions by other users, etc.
We may store your user comments and contributions and publish them on the platform until you delete your user account or until your user account is deleted. Your communication with other registered users or with us via the platform's own messaging system may also be stored until you delete your user account or until your user account is deleted. If it is necessary with regard to warranty, guarantee or similar obligations and/or with regard to statutory retention periods, we may also store your user comments and contributions as well as your above-mentioned communication for a correspondingly longer period.
The legal basis for the processing of your personal data collected in the context of the publication of user contributions and your communication via the platform is Art. 6 para. 1 b) General Data Protection Regulation (performance of contract).

However, we have no influence on the collection of your data and further processing by Instagram. Likewise, it is not clear to us at what location, for what period of time and to what extent the respective data is stored by Facebook. This also applies to Facebook's existing deletion obligations, which evaluations and connections or links Facebook makes with the data and to whom the data is passed on. You can find out which additional personal data Facebook processes when using our Instagram page in Instagram's privacy policy.
Statistical usage data
In order to better achieve the goals intended by our Instagram page, demographic and geographical evaluations are also created on the basis of the information collected by Facebook and made available to us by Facebook. We may use this information to serve targeted interest-based advertisements without directly knowing the visitor's identity. If visitors use Instagram on several devices, the collection and evaluation can also be carried out across devices if the visitors are registered and logged in to their own profile. The following information is provided to us by Facebook about the use of our Instagram page:
- Followers: Number of people who follow our Instagram page - including growth and development over a defined time frame.
- Reach: Number of people who see a specific post. Number of interactions on a post. This can be used to deduce, for example, which content is better received by the community than others.

- Activities: Times when most users from the community are online.

We process this data exclusively for the technical administration and provision of our Instagram page and, as the operator of the page, to obtain statistical information about its use. The legal basis for the processing of this data is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our interest here is the administration and improvement of the site.
We and Facebook are so-called "joint controllers" for the processing of the Insights data. This means that Facebook and we process this data with the common purpose of getting to know the usage behavior of visitors to our Instagram pages. Facebook, as the operator of the platform, collects the detailed usage data from you; we only receive the aggregated insights data from Facebook. Therefore, only Facebook makes the decisions about the processing of usage data in connection with Page Insights. In the event of such joint responsibility, the EU General Data Protection Regulation requires us to enter into a contract with Facebook. You can access this contract here: https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/page_controller_addendum. It provides more details and explanations of shared responsibility with Facebook as part of Insights.
Essentially, it follows from the contract that requests for information and the assertion of data subject rights with regard to the Insights data must be asserted directly with Facebook as the controller.
Instagram users can also influence the extent to which their user behavior may be recorded when visiting our Instagram page under the settings for advertising preferences. Other options are offered by the settings on Instagram or the form for the right to object.
