6. X (formerly named Twitter)
We aim to regularly inform you about the current developments of the alliance making use of the short news service Twitter Inc, 1355 Market Street, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94103 U.S.A.for this purpose. Responsible for the data processing of persons living outside the United States is Twitter International Company, One Cumberland Place, Fenian Street, Dublin 2 D02 AX07, Ireland. Please note, that you use this service and its functions on your own responsibility. This applies in particular to the use of the interactive functions (e.g. share, rate).
Data processed by X:
Information on which data and for what purposes is processed by X can be found in the X privacy policy: https://twitter.com/de/privacy
We have no influence neither on the type nor the scope of the data processed by X. Furthermore, the type of data processing, the use of data or the transfer of data by X cannot be affected. There are no effective means of control implemented.
By using X, your personal data will be collected, transferred, stored, disclosed and used by X and, in doing so, transferred to, stored and used in the United States, Ireland and any other country in which X does business, regardless of your place of residence.
X processes data that you voluntarily enter such as your name and user name, e-mail address, telephone number or the contacts in your address book when you upload or synchronize it. X also evaluates the content you share to determine what topics you are interested in, stores and processes confidential messages that you send directly to other users, and can determine your location using GPS data, wireless network information, or your IP address to send you advertising or other content.
For evaluation purposes, X may use analysis tools such as Twitter or Google Analytics. We have no influence on the use of such tools by X and have not been informed about such potential use. If tools of this kind are used by X for our account, we have neither commissioned X to do so nor approved of this or supported it in any other way. Neither will the data obtained during the analysis be made available to us. Only certain, non-personal information about the tweet activity, such as the number of profile or link clicks through a particular tweet, can be viewed by us via your account. Furthermore, we have no way of preventing or disabling the use of such tools on your X account.
Finally, X also receives information when you view content, even if you have not created an account. This so-called "log data" may include your IP address, browser type, operating system, information about the previously visited website and two of the pages you visited, your location, your mobile operator, the device you are using (including device ID and application ID), the search terms you used and cookie information. X buttons or widgets embedded in web pages and the use of cookies enable X to track your visits to these web pages and associate them with your X profile. This data can be used to offer content or advertising tailored to you.
Since X is a non-European provider with a European branch only in Ireland, it is not bound by German data protection regulations. This concerns, for example, your rights to information, blocking or deletion of data or the possibility of using usage data for advertising purposes to contradict. You have the possibility to limit the processing of your data in the general settings of your X account as well as in the section
"Privacy and Security". In addition, you can restrict X access to contact and calendar data, photos, location data, etc. on mobile devices (smartphones, tablet computers) in the settings there. However, this is dependent on the operating system used.
Further information on these points is available on the following X support pages:
https://support.twitter.com/articles/105576#
https://help.twitter.com/de/search?q=datenschutz
You can find out about the possibility of viewing your own data on X here: https://support.twitter.com/articles/20172711#
Information about the conclusions drawn by X about you can be found here: https://twitter.com/your_twitter_data
Information on the available personalization and data protection settings can be found here (with further references): https://twitter.com/personalization
You also have the option of requesting information via the X privacy form or the archive requirements:

https://support.twitter.com/articles/20170320#
Data processed by EURICE:
We may also process your personal data. Although we do not collect any data about your X account ourselves, the data you enter into X, in particular your user name and the content published under your account, will be processed by us to the extent that we re-tweet or reply to your tweets, if applicable, or write tweets that refer to your account. The data you freely publish and distribute on X is thus included by us in and made accessible to your followers.
