Social media have fundamentally changed our world and our actions and are increasingly shaping everyday police work.
As the number one source of information, social networks are the population's virtual clinical thermometer. No television 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 exploiting the highly competitive virtual information market. Of course, the aim is not to cut costs, increase profits and sales figures or win 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 provide you with 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 .

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