I. General Information
Twitter profiles are user accounts that can be set up on Twitter by individuals or businesses. We use the platform maintained by Twitter to present ourselves to you and other users of this social network and site visitors, as well as to introduce comments of all kinds to the media and opinion market.
The current version of this Privacy Policy is available under "Data protection" on our Twitter page.
II. Data processing by Wirtgen
If you have a Twitter account, are logged in and choose to follow our page, you will be shown to us as a "follower". We therefore process the personal data contained in your profile name and your profile picture.
We process the same data if you mark, comment on or share a post with "Like", even if you do not follow our page.
We also process the same data if you send us a message using the contact function. We also pro-cess the data that you voluntarily transmit to us in your messages.
In addition, Twitter provides us with anonymous statistical data on the users of our pages. These data are collected with the help of so-called "cookies", and "pixels" which Twitter stores on your system or incorporates in web sites. These tools allow Twitter to identify your browser with a unique user code, which may also be linked to your profile on the platform.
The legal basis for this processing by us in these cases is our legitimate interest pursuant to Article 6 (1) point (f) GDPR.
For more information about data processing by Twitter and cookies used by Twitter refer to Section III.
There is no further evaluation of your data by us. We store your data for as long as you follow our page. If you no longer follow our page, we will stop processing your data.
We erase data from messages once the correspondence with you is finished. This is the case where it is apparent from the circumstances that the facts in question have been finally clarified.
III. Data processing by Twitter
When you view Twitter content or Twitter products, Twitter records your visit, including the respective page, IP address, browser type, operating system, and cookie information. Twitter uses this infor-mation to improve products and services, for example through personalized suggestions and personalized ads. You can read about what information Twitter collects and how it is protected in the Privacy Policy and in the article on the use of Twitter cookies:
Privacy Policy:
https://twitter.com/de/privacy
Use of cookies:
https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/twitter-cookies
To protect your privacy, Twitter never associates your browser history with your name, email address, phone number or Twitter username, and deletes, obscures or aggregates the data after a maximum of 30 days, as explained in Twitter's Privacy Policy. The browser history is not stored for sites that have this collection disabled (as described below), or that have specific domains, such as .mil and .gov. You and the operators of the websites you visit can also decide for yourself whether Twitter can store the data and how they may be used.
To control whether Twitter stores information about other websites where you view Twitter content, you can change the "Track where you see Twitter content across the web" setting in your "Personali-zation and Data" settings. If you have deactivated this setting or if you are in the European Union or EFTA countries, Twitter does not store or use these website visits. If you have previously saved your browser history, your Twitter usage may still be personalized based on this information.
If you do not want Twitter to serve you customized, interest-based ads within and outside the Twitter offering, there are several ways to disable this feature:
-
In Twitter settings, call up the "Personalization and Data" settings and select the "Personalized ads" setting.
-
If you are using a mobile device, you can activate the "Limit Ad Tracking" (iOS) or "Opt out of Ads Personalization" (Android) setting on your device.
To control personalization across devices on Twitter, visit your Personalization and data settings and adjust the "Personalize across all your devices" setting. This will control whether Twitter links your account to browsers or devices other than the ones you use to log into Twitter (or if you’re logged out, whether Twitter links the browser or device you’re currently using to any other browsers or devices).
If you are on the web, you can also opt out of Google Analytics by installing Google’s opt-out browser add-on. You can opt out of interest-based Google ads using Google’s Ads Settings.
To control cookies, you can modify your settings in most web browsers to accept or deny cookies or to request your permission each time a site attempts to set a cookie. Although cookies are not required for some parts of our services, Twitter and the Periscope app may not work properly if you disable cookies entirely. For example, you cannot log into twitter.com or pscp.tv if you've disabled all cookie use.
Für Cookies können Sie die Einstellungen in den meisten Browsern so anpassen, dass entweder alle Cookies akzeptiert oder abgelehnt werden oder dass Sie jedes Mal gefragt werden, wenn eine Website einen Cookie auf Ihrem Computer ablegen möchte. Obwohl Cookies nicht für alle Twitter-Dienste notwendig sind, kann es passieren, dass Twitter und die App Periscope nicht einwandfrei laufen, wenn Sie alle Cookies komplett deaktivieren. Sie können sich zum Beispiel nicht bei twitter.com oder pscp.tv anmelden, wenn Sie die Verwendung aller Cookies deaktiviert haben.

-
You withdraw consent on which the processing is based and there is no other legal ground for the processing.

5. Right to restriction of processing (Article 18 GDPR)
According to Article 18 GDPR, we may process data only with restrictions of processing where one of the following applies: This is the case, where:

you contest the accuracy of your data, for a period enabling us to verify the accuracy;
-
the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of your data and request the restriction of their use instead;

Where processing has been restricted, we may only store such data. Any further processing will be permitted only with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or of a Member State.
You may withdraw your consent given in this context at any time.
You will be informed by us before the restriction of processing is lifted.
6. Notification obligation (Article 19 GDPR)

processing is carried out by automated means.
You have the right to request that your data are transmitted directly from us to the third party, where technically feasible. This right must not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

9. Right to object (Article 21 GDPR)
You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, where we process your data for the purposes of legitimate interests (Article 6 (1) point (f) GDPR). This also includes profiling based on that provision. In this case we will no longer process your data unless we demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing. Such grounds must override your interests, rights and freedoms or processing is used for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.
Where your data are processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object to processing of the data. This also includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing.
Where you object, your data will no longer be processed for such purposes.
If you wish to object, simply send an informal message to the contact details listed above.
10. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (Article 77 GDPR)
You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes the General Data Protection Regulation. Further administrative or judicial remedies that you may be entitled to remain unaffected by this.
