Privacy Policy for our social media pages

When you visit our social media pages, data relating to you is processed. We would like to inform you about the management of your personal data in accordance with Art. 13 General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Controller

We, Biochem Zusatzstoffe Handels- und Produktionsges. mbH, operate the following social media pages:

Our contact details is named in the imprint.

In addition to us, there is also the operator of the social media platform itself. In this respect, the operator is also another controller who carries out data processing, but over which we have only limited influence. At the points where we can exert influence and parameterize data processing, we work towards data protection-compliant handling by the operator of the social media platform within the scope of the possibilities available to us.

Data processing by us

The data you enter on our social media pages, such as comments, videos, images, likes, public messages, etc., are published by the social media platform and are not used or processed by us for any other purpose at any time. We only reserve the right to delete content if this should be necessary. We may share your content on our site if this is a function of the social media platform and communicate with you via the social media platform. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. f GDPR. The data processing is carried out in the interest of our public relations work and communication with you.

If you wish to object to specific data processing over which we have an influence, please contact us using the contact details named in the imprint. We will then check your objection for the processing of your data concerning us. If you wish to exercise your right to object against the platform, please contact the platform directly.

If you send us an inquiry on the social media platform, we may also refer you to other, secure communication channels that guarantee confidentiality, depending on the required response. You always have the option of sending us confidential inquiries to the address named in the imprint. The choice of the appropriate communication channel is your own responsibility.

Data processing under joint responsibility

We are jointly responsible for some of the processing activities with the respective operator of the social media platform. Accordingly, we have concluded the necessary agreement in accordance with Art. 26 GDPR, insofar as the operator of the social media platform allows this.

Further information on data processing by the provider of the social media platform, further objection options and, if available and concluded, the agreement pursuant to Art. 26 GDPR can be found in the provider's privacy policy:

Statistics (Insights)

The social media platforms used regularly compile statistics (insights) based on usage data that contain information about your interaction with our social media site. We cannot influence or prevent the performance and provision of these statistics.

We process the aforementioned information (statistics) in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. f GDPR in the legitimate interest of validating the use of our social media pages and improving our content in a target group-oriented manner.

Storage period

We delete your personal data when it is no longer required for the aforementioned processing purposes and no statutory retention obligations prevent deletion.

Data processing by the operator of the social media platform

The operator of the social media platform uses web tracking methods. Web tracking can also take place regardless of whether you are logged in or registered with the social media platform. As already explained, we unfortunately have little influence on the web tracking methods of the social media platform.

We would therefore like to point out that it cannot be ruled out that the operator of the social media platform may use and evaluate your profile and behavioral data for its own purposes. We have no influence on the processing of your data by the operator of the social media platform. Please bear this in mind when using the social media platform.

For more information on data processing by the operator of the social media platform, configuration options to protect your privacy and other objection options, please refer to the operator's privacy policy.
