We offer services and administrative services, as well as public information about our activities on our websites in accordance with Art. 2 para. 6 BayHSchG and Art. 4 para. 1 sentences 1 and 2 BayEGovG. Our social media appearances are part of our public relations efforts. Our goal is to provide target group-specific information and interact with you, pursuant to Art. 2 para. 6 BayHSchG.

We enable quick electronic contact and direct communication via your chosen media, as stipulated in § 5 para. 1 no. 2 TMG. We disclose content, contributions, and inquiries that violate third-party rights or constitute criminal or administrative offenses by forwarding them to the responsible authority or the respective social media service. We block or delete such content.

We use cookies, log files, and statistics from social media providers to generate business statistics, conduct organizational reviews, maintain our web service, and ensure network and information security, in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 BayDSG, § 13 para. 7 TMG, and Art. 11 para. 1 BayEGovG. When possible, we anonymize or pseudonymize personal data to achieve these purposes.
