Privacy Policy Social Media

The following information explains how we handle your data in accordance with Article 13 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). 

Controller

We run the following social media pages:

LinkedIn: 

https://www.linkedin.com/company/d-h-uk/

Twitter:

https://twitter.com/dandh_uk

You can find our contact information in our Legal Notice.

On the whole, we have no control over whether, or to what extent, the respective social media service processes personal data after activation. It is probable, however, that the social media service will use your data to create usage profiles and use these for the purpose of personalised advertising. In addition, your data will be used to inform other users of the social media service about your activities on our websites.

The usage occurs on the basis of your consent as per Art. 6 (1) 1. (a) of the GDPR, provided that you have given your consent by clicking the link. Please note that the usage of many social media services leads to your data being processed outside of the EU or EEA. In some countries this means there is a risk that the authorities may access the data for security and monitoring purposes without informing you of this and without you having a right to lodge an appeal.

Our data processing

The data that you enter on our social media pages, such as comments, videos, photos, likes, public information, etc., are published by the social media platform and are not used or processed by us at any time or for any purpose. We only reserve the right to delete content, should this be necessary. When appropriate, we may share your content, if this is a function of the social media platform, and communicate with you over the social media platform. The legal basis for this is Article 6 (1) (1) (f) GDPR. This data processing is in the interest of our public relations work and communications.

We also occasionally use the social media platforms described to play out targeted advertising.  

For this purpose, we use target group definitions that are provided to us by the social media provider. We only use anonymous target group definitions - defining characteristics based on, for example, general demographic specifications, behaviour, interests and connections. The operator of the social media platform uses these to play advertisements to its users accordingly. The legal basis for this is the consent that the operator of the social media platform has obtained from its users. If you wish to revoke this consent, please use the revocation options provided by the social media platform provider, as the social media platform operator is responsible for this processing. Occasionally, we or the provider of the social media platform also use publicly available data for target group definition. The legal basis for this processing is then Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. The legitimate interest on our part is to define a target group that is as suitable as possible. We never use sensitive categories of personal data mentioned in Art. 9 and 10 of the GDPR to define target groups.

We do not use location data to define target groups. We do not pass on any personal data to the operator of the social media platform as part of the target group definition. 

Occasionally, we also use information about visits to or interaction with other pages (so-called remarketing) to define target groups. For this purpose, we also use cookies, among other things. In these cases, however, we obtain the consent of the user in advance via a consent banner on the respective other pages and provide information about the data processing at this point. You can revoke this consent at any time by retrieving the consent banner of the corresponding website.

If you object to specific data processing over which we have influence, please contact us using the contact data listed in the Legal Notice. We will then review your objection.

If you pose a request on a social media platform, depending on the appropriate response, we may refer you to secure communication channels which guarantee confidentiality. You always have the option to send us confidential inquiries to the address located in the company Legal Notice.

As previously stated, we take great care to shape our social media pages to be as compliant with data protection regulations as possible wherever allowed by social media platform providers. For this reason, we specifically do not use demographic, interest-based, behaviour-based or location-based target group definitions for advertising that is provided to us by the social media platform operator. On the whole, we do not use social media platforms for advertising purposes. With regard to the statistics provided to us by the social media platform provider, we have only limited influence over this and this also cannot be disabled. We take care, however, not to make any additional, optional statistics available to us.  

Data processing by the social media platform operator

The social media platform operator uses web tracking technology. Web tracking can take place regardless of whether you are logged in or registered to the social media platform. As previously stated, we unfortunately have no influence over the social media platform's web tracking technology. We cannot disable it, for example. 

Please be aware of the following: The possibility cannot be excluded that the social media platform provider will use your profile and behaviour data in order to analyse your habits, personal relationships, preferences, etc. We have no influence over the processing of your data by the social media platform provider in this respect.
