3. Profiles on Social Networks #

We have profiles on social networks. Our social media profiles complement our website and offer you the opportunity to interact with us. As soon as you access our social media profiles on social networks, the terms and conditions and data processing guidelines of the respective operators apply. The data collected about you when using the services is processed by the networks and, if necessary, also transferred to countries outside the European Union where there is no adequate level of protection for the processing of personal data. We have no influence on data processing in social networks, as we are users of the network just like you. Information on this and on which data is processed by the social networks and for what purposes the data is used can be found in the privacy policy of the respective network listed below. We use the following social networks:

You can access the current versions of the standard contractual clauses at https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dec_impl/2021/914/oj.
