Furthermore, user data within social networks is generally processed for market research and advertising purposes. For example, user profiles can be created based on user behavior and the resulting interests of users. These user profiles can then be used, for example, to place advertisements within and outside the networks that presumably correspond to the users' interests.
Joint responsibility
With regard to the operation of social media plugins and the associated processing of personal data, we and the respective social network providers are jointly responsible pursuant to Art. 26 GDPR. The social networks are solely responsible for further processing after forwarding to the respective server.
