Purposes and legal bases of the processing

In accordance with Art. 2 Para. 6 BayHSchG, Art. 4 Para. 1 S. 1 and 2 BayEGovG, we offer our services and administrative services as well as information for the public about our activities on our websites.

Our social media presence is part of our public relations work. Our aim is to inform and exchange information with you in a way that is appropriate for the target group, Art. 2 para. 6 BayHSchG . We enable you to make fast electronic contact and direct communication via the media of your choice, § 5 para. 1 no. 2 TMG.

We disclose and block or delete content and posts, requests that violate the rights of third parties or that constitute a criminal offence or misdemeanour or do not comply with legal or contractual obligations of conduct by transmitting them to the competent authority or social media service.

We use cookies, log files, statistics from social media providers and the web analysis tool Matomo to compile business statistics, to conduct organisational studies, to test or maintain our web service and to ensure network and information security in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 BayDSG, Section 13 Para. 7 TMG, Art. 11 Para. 1 BayEGovG. Insofar as the processing purpose is not impaired, we anonymise or pseudonymise personal data.
