Data privacy for Social Media

Data protection information on our social media presences

The data protection information for the processing of personal data on our website can be found at the following link: www.futureSAX.de/datenschutz

We, futureSAX GmbH, Anton-Graff-Straße 20, 01309 Dresden, Germany; info@futuresax.de, maintain a number of different social media presences for active communication with users and to provide information about our activities, partly in joint responsibility with the social network operators listed below.

In the context of the user-side use of our presences in the social networks listed below, we would like to point out that users' personal data may also be processed by the operators of the social networks outside the European Union and outside the European Economic Area. This may result in possible risks for users, for example in a more difficult enforcement of the rights of data subjects under data protection law. At the same time, however, we would like to point out that if the operators of the social networks support this, we will work towards the conclusion of agreements on joint responsibility in accordance with Art. 26 GDPR and standard data protection clauses in accordance with Art. 46 para. 2 lit. d GDPR.

In addition, we would like to point out that the personal data of users is generally also processed by the operators of social networks for their own market research and advertising purposes. Any user profiles generated from usage behavior can also be used to display interest-based advertisements outside the social networks. For this purpose, the operators of the social networks generally store cookies on the users' computers so that device information, usage behavior and user interests can be processed even if the user does not have a profile in the respective network. For more information on this and any options to object, please refer to the data protection information and further information provided by the respective social network operators, which we have linked for you below.

The following also applies to the processing of personal data:

Processed data categories

The categories of data processed include inventory data (e.g. names), contact data (e.g. email addresses), content data (e.g. text entries), usage data (e.g. interest in content) as well as meta and communication data (e.g. device information and IP addresses).

Purpose and legal basis of processing

Data processing is carried out, insofar as this is our responsibility, for the purposes of providing information, communication, marketing and measuring reach. The operation of the social media presences is based on a legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR, whereby the respective interests result from the aforementioned purposes.

Storage period

The categories of data processed by us are only stored within the respective social network. In most cases, we have no influence on the specific storage period, as this is determined by the providers of the social networks. Information on this can be found in the data protection information of the respective provider. If the storage period can be influenced by us in individual cases, it will be deleted after the purpose has been fulfilled in compliance with the statutory retention obligations.

Services and service providers used by us and network-specific information

In the following, we inform you about the services and service providers we use as well as about network-specific information, naming the respective responsible bodies within the EU/EEA and those outside the EU/EEA. We do not transfer any further data.

Note: The Facebook, X and Xing platforms are no longer actively operated by futureSAX.

Information on the rights of data subjects

Data subjects may at any time request information about the personal data concerning them and, if necessary, rectification or erasure or restriction of processing or object to processing. There is also a right to data portability in their favor. Furthermore, if data processing is carried out on the basis of consent, this consent can be revoked at any time for the future. To exercise your rights, please contact our data protection officer, the Dresdner Institut für Datenschutz at datenschutz(at)futuresax.de (further contact details at www.dids.de). Furthermore, pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR, every data subject has the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority if it is suspected that the processing of personal data is unlawful.

With regard to the assertion of data subject rights, we would like to point out that these should at best be addressed directly to the respective operator of the social network in order to obtain comprehensive measures. Only the operators have access to all of the personal data collected from users and can therefore provide more comprehensive information and take any necessary measures. If you need help with this, you can of course contact our data protection officer at any time.
