Social Media
Data processing through social networks
Social networks such as Xing, Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, etc. can generally analyze your user behavior comprehensively when you visit their website or a website with integrated social media content (e.g. Like buttons or advertising banners). Visiting our social media presences triggers numerous processing operations relevant to data protection. In detail:
If you are logged into your social media account and visit our social media presence, the operator of the social media portal can assign this visit to your user account.However, your personal data may also be collected under certain circumstances if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective social media portal.In this case, this data collection takes place, for example, via cookies that are stored on your end device or by recording your IP address.
With the help of the data collected in this way, the operators of the social media portals can create user profiles in which your preferences and interests are stored. In this way, you can be shown interest-based advertising inside and outside the respective social media presence. If you have an account with the respective social network, the interest-based advertising can be displayed on all devices on which you are or were logged in.
Please also note that we cannot track all processing operations on the social media portals.Depending on the provider, further processing operations may therefore be carried out by the operators of the social media portals.For details, please refer to the terms of use and data protection provisions of the respective social media portals.
Legal basis
Our social media presences are intended to ensure the most comprehensive presence possible on the Internet. This is a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO. The analysis processes initiated by the social networks may be based on different legal bases, which are to be specified by the operators of the social networks (e.g. consent within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO).
Responsible person and assertion of rights
If you visit one of our social media sites (e.g. Xing), we are jointly responsible with the operator of the social media platform for the data processing operations triggered during this visit. In principle, you can assert your rights (information, correction, deletion, restriction of processing, data portability and complaint, for more details see separate entry) both vis-à-vis us and vis-à-vis the operator of the respective social media portal (e.g. vis-à-vis Xing).
Please note that despite the joint responsibility with the social media portal operators, we do not have full influence on the data processing operations of the social media portals. Our options are largely determined by the corporate policy of the respective provider.
Storage duration
The data collected directly by us via the social media presence is deleted from our systems as soon as the purpose for storing it no longer applies, you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to store it, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Stored cookies remain on your terminal device until you delete them. Mandatory legal provisions - in particular retention periods - remain unaffected.
We have no influence on the storage period of your data, which is stored by the operators of social networks for their own purposes. For details, please contact the operators of the social networks directly (e.g. in their privacy policy, see below).

YouTube in particular
We use a YouTube channel owned by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.
We would like to point out that you use the YouTube channel offered here and its functions on your own responsibility. This applies in particular to the use of the "Discussion" function. Information about which data is processed by Google and for which purposes can be found in the privacy policy of Google: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de&gl=de#infocollect
We have no influence on the type and scope of the data processed by Google, the type of processing and use or the transfer of this data to third parties. We also have no effective control options in this respect.
By using Google, your personal information will be collected, transferred, stored, disclosed and used by Google and transferred to, and stored and used in, the United States, Ireland and any other country in which Google does business, regardless of your country of residence.There is a transfer to Google-affiliated companies and other trusted companies or individuals who process it on Google's behalf. Google processes on the one hand your voluntarily entered data such as name and username, email address, telephone number. Google also processes the content that you create, upload or receive from others when using the services. This includes, for example, photos and videos that you save, documents and spreadsheets that you create, and comments that you write on YouTube videos.
On the other hand, Google also evaluates the content you share to determine what topics you are interested in, stores and processes confidential messages that you send directly to other users, and can determine your location using GPS data, wireless network information, or your IP address in order to send you advertising or other content.
For evaluation, Google may use analysis tools such as Google Analytics.PROLOGA has no influence on the use of such tools by Google and was not informed about such potential use. If tools of this type are used by Google for the YouTube channel of PROLOGA, PROLOGA has neither commissioned nor otherwise supported this in any way. PROLOGA is also not provided with the data obtained during the analysis. Only certain profiles of the subscribers can be viewed by PROLOGA via its account. Moreover, PROLOGA has no way to prevent or turn off the use of such tools on its YouTube channel. Finally, Google also receives information when you view content, for example, even if you have not created an account. This so-called "log data" may be the IP address, browser type, operating system, information about the website you visited previously and the pages you viewed, your location, your mobile carrier, the terminal device you use (including device ID and application ID), the search terms you used and cookie information. You have options to restrict the processing of your data in the general settings of your Google account.
In addition to these tools, Google also offers privacy settings specific to YouTube.To learn more, see Google's privacy guide for Google products: https://policies.google.com/technologies/product-privacy?hl=de&gl=de

Data processed by PROLOGA
PROLOGA also processes your data when you communicate with us via YouTube. The processing takes place for the purposes of PROLOGA's public relations work. The recipient of the data is first Google, where it may be passed on to third parties for their own purposes and under the responsibility of Google. The recipient of publications is also the public, i.e. potentially anyone. PROLOGA itself does not collect any data via its YouTube channel.
Also via the integration of the YouTube videos of PROLOGA on its website (www.prologa.de or www.prologa-energy.de), the IP addresses of page visitors are not transmitted to Google. In particular, no tracking of any kind takes place on the website. However, the data you enter on YouTube, in particular your username and the content published under your account, will be processed by us insofar as we may respond to your publications under "Discussions". The data freely published and disseminated by you on YouTube is thus included by PROLOGA in its offer and made available to its followers.
