To do so, you must usually provide additional personal data that we use to provide the respective service and to which the aforementioned data processing principles apply.

(1) If you have given your consent to the processing of your data, you can revoke it at any time. Such a revocation affects the legality of the processing of your personal data after you have expressed it to us.
(2) If we base the processing of your personal data on the balance of interests, you can object to the processing. This is the case if the processing is not necessary to fulfill a contract with you, which we will explain in the following description of the functions. If you exercise such an objection, we ask you to explain the reasons why we should not process your personal data as we do. If you object, we will examine the situation and either stop or adapt the data processing or show you our compelling legitimate reasons for continuing the processing.

§ 6
use of blog functions
(1) You can make public comments on our blog, in which we publish various articles on topics related to our activities. Your comment will be published with your specified user name in the article. We recommend using a pseudonym instead of your real name. Providing a user name and email address is required; all other information is voluntary. When you make a comment, we will continue to store your IP address, which we will delete after 7 days. We need to store the data in order to be able to defend ourselves against liability claims in cases of possible publication of illegal content. We need your email address in order to contact you if a third party objects to your comment as being illegal. The legal basis is Art. 6 Para. 1 Clause 1 Letters b and f of GDPR. Comments are not checked before publication. We reserve the right to delete comments if third parties object to them as being illegal.
§ 7
use of social media plug-ins
(1) We currently use the following social media plug-ins: Instagram. This means that when you visit our site, no personal data is initially passed on to the plug-in providers. You can recognize the plug-in provider by the marking on the box above its initial letter or logo. We give you the opportunity to communicate directly with the plug-in provider via the button. Only if you click on the marked field and thereby activate it will the plug-in provider receive the information that you have accessed the corresponding website of our online offering. In addition, the data mentioned under Section 3 of this declaration will be transmitted. In the case of Instagram, according to the provider in Germany, the IP address is anonymized immediately after collection. By activating the plug-in, personal data from you is transmitted to the plug-in provider and stored there (in the USA). Since the plug-in provider collects data primarily via cookies, we recommend that you delete all cookies via the security settings of your browser before clicking on the plug-in.
(2) We have no influence on the data collected and data processing procedures, nor are we aware of the full extent of the data collection, the purposes of the processing, or the storage periods. We also have no information on the deletion of the data collected by the plug-in provider.
(3) The plug-in provider stores the data collected about you as user profiles and uses them for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or needs-based design of its website. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (also for users who are not logged in) to display needs-based advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, although you must contact the respective plug-in provider to exercise this right. We use the plug-ins to offer you the opportunity to interact with social networks and other users so that we can improve our offering and make it more interesting for you as a user. The legal basis for the use of the plug-ins is Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter f of GDPR.
(4) The data is passed on regardless of whether you have an account with the plug-in provider and are logged in there. If you are logged in with the plug-in provider, the data we collect will be assigned directly to your existing account with the plug-in provider. If you click the activated button and, for example, link the page, the plug-in provider also saves this information in your user account and shares it publicly with your contacts. We recommend that you log out regularly after using a social network, but especially before activating the button, as this will prevent your data from being assigned to your profile with the plug-in provider.
(5) Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and processing by the plug-in provider can be found in the privacy policies of these providers provided below. There you will also find further information on your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy.
(6) Addresses of the respective plug-in providers and URL with their data protection information:
