As a source of information, social networks are also the population's virtual clinical thermometer. No TV crew is ready to report faster than the people on the ground with their smartphones!
For some years now, the police have been facing the major challenge of using the highly competitive virtual information market to their advantage. Of course, it's not about cutting costs, increasing profits and sales figures or winning new customers. The police want to use social media, for example, to recruit new recruits or provide information in crisis situations.
And last but not least, we want to get into conversation with you.
Before you visit our pages, however, we would like to give you some important information on the subject of data protection.
General information on the topic of data protection can be found on the website of the responsible supervisory authority for data protection in North Rhine-Westphalia, the State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information of North Rhine-Westphalia: www.ldi.nrw.de.

Data protection in social media is important to us. You should therefore take the time to read the following data protection information before using the links to our Facebook or Instagram page.
By clicking on "Like", you become a fan of our 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 postings 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 https://de-de.facebook.com/help/instagram/519522125107875 and make the appropriate privacy settings in your account!

With one click, you become a follower of the account, which is visible to the administrators of the page as well as to your friends and possibly other Twitter users. This applies in particular to tweets.
However, this information is neither analyzed by the administrators of the police account nor recorded elsewhere. The statistics that "X" makes available to the administrators of the police account are output 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.twitter.com/privacy/ and make the appropriate privacy settings in your account!

What data X stores in detail and how the company uses this data is not exactly known. What is certain is that X not only stores data that is entered directly by users, but also records the actions of X users - presumably without gaps - and passes them on to third parties.
Twitter also
- gathers 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 and
- every visit to websites (widget data) on which a Twitter button is installed. The IP address is also transmitted. If the visitor to the third-party site is an X user and has already logged in to X from the same computer, X can also determine their identity.
This enables X to investigate the preferences, inclinations and contacts of its users very precisely and beyond X usage.
