We would like to highlight that you use our social media pages and their functions as well as the social media platforms at your own responsibility. This applies in particular to the use of the interactive functions (e.g. liking, following, commenting, sharing, rating). For further information on use, please refer to the terms of use and privacy notices on the respective websites of the social media platforms.
Further, we would like to point out that the Provider stores data of registered users (hereinafter “Users”) and other interested visitors of the social media platform (hereinafter “Visitors”), e.g. personal information, IP address, cookies, etc., also outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA) and uses them for its own business purposes.
We generally have no influence on the data collection and its further use by the provider. To what extent, where and for how long the data is stored, to what extent the provider complies with existing deletion obligations, what evaluations and links are made with the data and to whom the data is passed on, is neither recognizable nor influenceable for us. We therefore ask you to carefully examine what personal data you disclose as a user on the social media platform.

3. Type, scope, purposes and legal basis of the data processing
We operate our social media pages to inform users and visitors about our company and to exchange information with them.

3.2 Cookies
What are Cookies?
Cookies are data records that are stored by a web server on the user’s computer. They are sent back to the cookie-setting web server upon reconnection with the aim of recognizing the user and their settings. It is a file created locally on the user’s computer that assigns the user a specific identity – consisting of numbers and letters.
How are cookies used?
The provider of the social media platforms uses cookies and cookie-like technologies, i.e. usually small files that are stored on your terminal device (hereinafter collectively “cookies”), among other things to offer you a comprehensive range of functions, to make use more convenient and to be able to optimize its offer. The data obtained by means of cookies are stored and processed directly by the provider. We ourselves have no access to these and no influence on how the provider uses them.
The information obtained by means of cookies may be used by the provider within the social media platform as well as in other provider services and in services of third parties that use the provider services to create usage profiles for market research and advertising purposes. In particular, your usage behavior and your resulting interests are taken into account here. In this context, the provider may, for example, enable partners or even third parties to use this data to place advertisements within and outside the social media platform. If you use the social media platform on multiple devices, the collection and analysis may also take place across devices, especially if you are logged in as a user.
For more information on the type, scope, purposes, legal basis and opt-out options when cookies are used by the respective provider, please refer to the cookie guidelines of the respective provider social media platforms.
If you do not want cookies and/or cookie-like technologies to be used, you can also prevent them from being stored on your end device by making the appropriate settings on your end device and/or Internet browser or by using separate opt-out options. Please note that the functionality and scope of functions of our social media site may be limited as a result.
3.3 Direct contacting
If you contact us directly via our social media page (e.g. by means of a personal message, messenger or a pre-filled form), the processing of your data provided therein (e.g. name, e-mail address, details of your vehicle) will only be for the purpose of recording and, if necessary, responding to your customer/prospect inquiry. We do not transfer this data to internal systems.
When you contact us, we use your data in fulfillment of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. As far as the initiation of a contractual relationship is concerned, the processing of data transmitted in the context of a direct contact via the social media platform takes place based on Article 6 (1) lit. b GDPR.
Since we are not aware of the confidentiality of the information you provide when contacting us directly and how it is used by the provider itself, please refrain from transmitting sensitive data or other confidential information, such as application documents or bank or credit card data, via this channel. We recommend that you use a more secure transmission channel for this purpose, such as [input channels for application documents such as postal address, e-mail address, applicant portal, …].
3.4 Other user interactions
In accordance with the way a social media platform is designed, it is possible for us to learn about users who like, subscribe to, rate, comment on, or share our social media site and posts, provided that you have made your interaction on the social media platform public and have not explicitly marked it as “private” using the social media platform’s settings, if applicable. We evaluate this information in aggregate form in order to provide our users and visitors with more relevant content that may be of greater interest to them. The information obtained in this way does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about a natural person.
In your respective social media profile, you as a user have the option, for example, to actively hide your “posts”, “tweets”, “rated videos”, “subscriptions”, “followers” or other profile information or to no longer follow or subscribe to our social media page. Then you will no longer appear in the list of followers or subscribers of this social media page.
3.5 Boosted advertising
We use boosted advertising for a selection of our posts. This allows our posts to be promoted on the respective social media platform to gain more attention from users and visitors. As part of boosted advertising, the providers will regularly use personal data to identify potential viewers for our content. If, in the context of boosted advertising, your personal data is processed for advertising our content, this will only be done after you have given your consent (Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR). Consent is regularly obtained by the provider, not by us. For more information on advertising practices, please refer to the data privacy notice of the respective social media platform.
4. Recipients of data
Aside from the social media platform-providers, your data is not shared with any other non-public parties. A transfer to public authorities and state institutions entitled to receive information will only take place within the framework of the legal obligations under applicable law, regulation, court order or other legal process, such as preventing, detecting and investigating security incidents and potentially illegal or prohibited activities. Further, Kemmler Kemmler may provide the information, e.g. for the assertion, exercise and defense of legal claims, enforcement of existing contracts, and in the context of allegations of fraud.
5. Data processing in third countries
If data is transferred to parties which are not located in a member state of the European Union, another state party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area or a state for which an adequate level of data protection has been established by a decision of the European Commission, we will ensure that guarantees exist for an adequate level of data protection with regard to the data transfer (e.g. by agreeing standard contractual clauses) or that you have given your consent to the data transfer. Alternatively, your data may be transferred to third countries where you have given your consent to the data transfer.
Data processing by the respective provider of social media platforms regularly takes place in third countries outside the EU/EEA, namely in the USA. For more information on how the providers ensure an adequate level of data protection please refer to the privacy notices on the respective websites of the social media platforms.
