Cookie Overview

Privacy Policy Social Media

We operate one or more publicly accessible company websites on the social media networks, especially for self-promotion, but also for recruiting.

According to the ruling of the European Court of Justice (ECJ) issued on 05.06.2018, Ref. C-210/16, the operator of social media sites is jointly responsible for data processing, at least in the case of Facebook fan pages as by Art. 26 GDPR.

We suspect an analogous applicability of this decision to other social networks.

In the following, we would like to inform you about the handling of your data according to. Article 13 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

  • Responsibility for Data Processing

The individual responsible for the processing of personal data is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.

In case you visit one of our social media outlets such as Facebook, we are

Lemundo GmbH
Lerchenstraße 28
22767 Hamburg

Email: datenschutz@lemundo.de

Telephone (+49) 40 22 86 83 0 0

In part responsible for the data collection and processing described below.

In addition, the social media platforms’ respective operators are partly responsible for data processing.

For certain processing operations, we and the platform operators also act as joint controllers within the meaning of Art. 26 GDPR (processing operations according to No. 4). For more information, see the section on specific social media platforms below.

We have only limited influence on the data processing by operators of the social media platform (e.g. members’ management and shared information). In many instances, we are unable to influence the data processing by the operator of the social media platform and also do not know exactly what data they process.

The platform operator manages the entire IT infrastructure of the service, maintains its own data protection provisions and maintains its own user relationship with you.

  • Data processing through social networks

When you visit our social media pages, certain information about you is processed. If you have your own user account on a social network and are logged into this account when you visit our presence on this social network, all of the data you collect in the process will be directly assigned to your existing account.

Social networks can usually analyze your user behavior extensively if you visit their website or a website with integrated social media content (e.g. like buttons or advertising banners). Social networks store the data collected about you as usage profiles and may use them for purposes of advertising and market research.

However, your personal data may also be collected under certain circumstances if you are not logged in or do not have an account on the respective social media portal. In this case, this data collection is, for example, carried out via cookies that are stored on your terminal device or by recording your IP address.

When you visit one of our social media pages, we process your actions and interactions with it (e.g., the content of your messages, requests, posts or comments that you address to us or leave on our social media pages, or when you like or share our posts), as well as your public profile data (e.g., your name and profile picture). Which personal data on your profile is publicly viewable depends on your profile settings, which you can manually adjust on the social media platform.

We process data on our social media outlets in order to inform customers about offers, products, promotions, contests, company news and to interact with visitors to the social media presences on these topics, as well as to respond to corresponding queries, praise or criticism and recruiting. This allows us to improve our social media content by collecting demographic and geographic analysis based on the information we collect.

  • Legal Basis

Legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR.
The data processing is carried out in the interest of our public relations and communication.

If your contact aims at the conclusion of a contract (or is related to an existing contract), the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

  • Contests:

Occasionally, we also offer participation in contests on our social media channels. Unless otherwise specified in special data protection principles for the respective contest or unless you have given us further express consent, the personal data you submit to us as part of your participation in the contest will be used exclusively for the purpose of processing the contest (e.g. determining the prize, notifying you of the prize, sending you the prize). In case you act under a real name in the concerned social media network or are recognizable via photos in your profile, an identification by other users cannot be excluded on our part.

Generally, the legal basis for data processing in case you enter a contest is Article 6 (1) b) DSGVO. We will only share your personal information with relevant third parties in order to enable the administration and operation of our contests.

In the event of a submission of a declaration of consent that extends context of a contest, Article 6 (1) a) DSGVO is the legal basis for the consent-based data processing. Insofar you have declared your consent within the scope of a contest, you have the possibility to revoke these consents at any time with effect for future contests.

The data categories regarding our contest are as follows: social media profile name (if your social media account is under a real name, then also your name and last name), content of your entry. For winners: first and last name, email address, shipping address, phone number.

The processes initiated by the social networks may be based on different legal bases, which are to be specified by their operators.
