Messenger services
We communicate via messenger services. Messenger services are chat programs that allow users to send text messages as well as image or video files in real time over the internet. Additionally, messenger services can also be used to send emoticons, electronic greeting cards, and contacts. For messages to be transmitted, the participants must be connected via a computer program (called a client) over a network such as the internet directly or via a server. Generally, messages can also be sent when the conversation partner is not online; the message is then temporarily stored by the service's server and delivered later when the recipient is available again. Finally, these services can also be used for screen sharing and online games.
If the service uses end-to-end encryption for the transmitted content (texts, attachments), only the selected communication partners can view the message, not third parties or the service provider itself. In this respect, we recommend regularly installing updates for the service to ensure the encryption of content. However, the service provider has access to the metadata of the communication. This includes the time and (depending on the settings) location of the communication and the device you are using.
We would like to point out that depending on the country of residence of the provider mentioned below, the data collected via its platform can be transmitted and processed outside the European Union. In such cases, there is a risk that the level of data protection prescribed by the GDPR may not be adhered to, and enforcement of your rights may not be possible or may be made more difficult.
Affected data:
- Inventory and contact data (e.g. name, phone number, email address)
- Content data (e.g. posts, photos, videos)
- Usage data (e.g. access times, clicked websites)
- Communication data (e.g. information about the device used, IP address).
Purpose of processing: Communication and marketing
Legal basis: If we have requested your consent before using the respective service, this forms the legal basis, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. We clarify that we will not transmit your contact data to the service provider for the first time without your consent. If we communicate with you in the context of a contract negotiation or within the scope of an existing contractual relationship via one of the services listed below, the legal basis is the fulfillment or preparation of the contract, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Otherwise, we base our processing on our legitimate interests in quick and efficient communication and in meeting the needs of our communication partners regarding the communication of the services mentioned below, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
Objection options: You can withdraw your consent for the use of the service mentioned below at any time. You can also object to communication via the messenger service at any time.
