Both companies are joint controllers for data processing (hereinafter "TikTok").
Data processing serves the purpose of identifying and analyzing website access by our customers, as well as better customer targeting through targeted advertising and evaluating the effectiveness of advertising on TikTok. For this purpose, TikTok uses technologies such as cookies and pixels that enable your browser to be recognized. The following information may be collected and transmitted to TikTok: date and time of visit, information about the browser and device type you are using, screen resolution, IP address. TikTok can assign this information to your personal TikTok user account. Usage profiles can be created from the data collected in this way using pseudonyms. However, personal identification of users is not possible.
Your data may be transferred to third countries, such as the USA. An adequacy decision by the EU Commission exists for the USA, the Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework (TADPF). TikTok is not certified under the TADPF. Data transfer to the USA and to third countries without an adequacy decision takes place, among other things, on the basis of standard contractual clauses as suitable safeguards for the protection of personal data, which can be viewed at: https://commission.europa.eu/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection/standard-contractual-clauses-scc_de.
The use of cookies or similar technologies is based on your consent pursuant to Section 25 (1) Sentence 1 TDDDG in conjunction with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR. The processing of your personal data is based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

This function allows website visitors to log in to the website using their existing Facebook account. Data processing serves the purpose of verification during registration, personalization, and interest-based advertising. To offer the function on the website, a connection to the Facebook server is established. Cookies are used for this purpose. The following information, among others, may be collected and transmitted to Facebook: IP address, browser information, referrer URL (website from which you accessed our website), location data. This applies regardless of whether you are registered or logged in to the social network. A transmission also takes place for unregistered or logged-out users. If you are simultaneously connected to one or more of your social network accounts, the collected information can also be assigned to your corresponding profiles. You can prevent this assignment by logging out of your social media accounts before visiting our website and before activating the buttons. Your data may be transmitted to the USA. An adequacy decision by the EU Commission exists for the USA, the Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework (TADPF). Meta has certified itself under the TADPF and has thus committed to complying with European data protection principles.

In doing so, we receive personal data of the user from Facebook, as specified in the login process. This may include, among others, the following information: name, address, public profile information (e.g., name, profile picture, age, gender), email address, friend lists, "likes."
