Notes on the use of our Facebook and Twitter pages

Since smartphone users are not shown the legal information on the use of our Twitter page, we are publishing our usage information here.

Facebook privacy policy

By clicking on "Like" you become a fan of this page, which is visible to the administrators of the page as well as to your friends and possibly other Facebook users. This applies in particular to "likes" or comments on our posts, which are also visible to non-registered visitors and non-fans of this fan page. Even if you are not or do not become a fan of this page, you can leave comments or "Like" information on our posts that are visible to others and the administrators of the fan page. However, this information is neither analyzed by the administrators nor recorded elsewhere. The statistics that Facebook makes available to the administrators are displayed in aggregated form and do not allow the administrators to draw any conclusions about personal data. In this context, please also note the data usage guidelines at https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/ and make the appropriate privacy settings in your account! Please check exactly what information you publish!

What Facebook learns:

What data Facebook stores in detail and how the company uses this data is not exactly known. What is certain is that Facebook not only stores data that is entered directly by users, but also records the actions of Facebook users - presumably without gaps.

Facebook also learns

• the most important data of the computer system from which a user logs into the network - including IP address, processor type and browser version, including plug-ins and
• every visit to websites (widget data) on which a "Like" button is installed. The IP address is also transmitted. If the visitor to the third-party site is a Facebook user and has already logged in to Facebook from the same computer, Facebook can also determine their identity.

This enables Facebook to examine the preferences, inclinations and contacts of its users very precisely and beyond Facebook usage.

Important notice:

We expressly reserve the right to remove comments that violate applicable law or morality from this page and to report this to the platform operator. In cases of criminal relevance, this will also result in criminal investigation proceedings. Comments that are not written in German will be deleted if necessary. If comments contain links and/or references to other sites, these will be deleted for security reasons.

Twitter privacy policy

With one click you become a follower of this account, which is visible to the administrators of the site as well as to your friends and possibly other Twitter users. This applies in particular to tweets.

However, this information is neither analyzed nor recorded elsewhere by the administrators of the police account. The statistics that Twitter makes available to the administrators of the police account are displayed in aggregated form and do not allow the administrators to draw any conclusions about personal data.

What Twitter learns:

It is not known exactly what data Twitter stores in detail and how the company uses this data. What is certain is that Twitter not only stores data entered directly by users, but also records the actions of Twitter users - presumably without gaps - and passes them on to third parties.

Twitter also learns

• the most important data of the computer system (log data) from which a user logs into the network - including IP address, processor type and browser version including plug-ins
• every visit to websites (widget data) on which a Twitter button is installed. The IP address is also transmitted. If the visitor to the external site is a Twitter user and has already logged in to Twitter from the same computer, Twitter can also determine their identity.

This enables Twitter to investigate the preferences, inclinations and contacts of its users very precisely and beyond Twitter usage.

Important notice:

We expressly reserve the right to report tweets that violate applicable law or morality to the platform provider and, if necessary, to have them removed from this page. In cases of criminal relevance, this will also result in criminal investigation proceedings. Tweets that are not written in German will be deleted if necessary.
