This includes, for example, inventory data such as your name, postal address, email address and telephone number, but also usage data, such as information about the time of your visit to our Südzucker fan page, the browser you used and other data generated when visiting our fan page.
   

II.    Scope of data collection, processing and use

• We collect, process and use the personal data provided to us by Facebook only for the purpose of providing information about our products and our company and presenting and offering services on these topics on our Facebook profile. This includes:
  - Current news and facts on our products and services and on the topic of nutrition
  - Interaction with users registered with Facebook

• Your personal data will be processed exclusively on the basis of Südzucker's applicable data protection provisions, i.e. - depending on the case - specifically on the basis of your consent previously given to Südzucker or after weighing up legitimate interests in the individual case.
• If we process personal data on the basis of consent, we will only do so as long as you do not object or revoke your consent.
• Our fanpage is not intended for persons under the age of 16. We ask that persons under the age of 16 do not provide any personal data to us. If we learn that we have collected personal data from persons under the age of 16, we will take steps to delete the data as soon as possible.

III.    Facebook

a) Facebook collects personal data to evaluate user behaviour. Facebook provides the operators of Facebook profiles, such as Südzucker, with the following data in anonymised and aggregated form. This is demographic data such as age, gender, place of residence, country or mother tongue, without any reference to identifiable persons. Südzucker can therefore not identify any visitor of the Facebook profile.

In addition, Südzucker is provided with statistics on the source of the access to the Facebook profile, the type of end device used for access or the number of page views. As the operator of this Facebook profile, Südzucker also receives anonymised statistical data (so-called insights) from Facebook. This data cannot be used to draw any conclusions about the respective visitor, subscriber or registered user (hereinafter collectively referred to as "visitor"; in individual cases, only the group of persons to whom the respective facts relate will be named in the following). This statistical data received cannot be linked to the profile data of our subscribers either. We can only define the categories of data and visitors by which Facebook evaluates its data collection and makes it available as anonymised statistics. This data is used by Südzucker exclusively for the analysis of user behaviour, so that we can better align our Facebook profile and our offer to the needs and interests of our visitors. We use the data made available on Facebook under "Insight" to select relevant information for our posts on Facebook or to publish targeted posts on the platform for corresponding groups.

We only use the data provided by Facebook that is required for the purposes stated here. If further data is provided, it will not be retrieved and thus not processed by us.

We only receive anonymised information and statistics if the visitor of our Facebook profile is registered with Facebook. However, we would like to point out that as a result of the direct access to our Facebook profile, for example through the reading of log files (e.g. IP address) or the setting of cookies, Facebook itself may record this data.
The use of your data provided to us by Facebook is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR:
-  to carry out data analyses,
-  to statistically record the use of our Facebook page and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimising our offer for you,
-  to continuously improve and manage our offer and our marketing activities.
Our legitimate interest according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR follows from the aforementioned points.

We have no influence on the collection of data by Facebook, nor on the data processing procedures in place at Facebook. We are also not aware of the scope of the data collection, the purposes of the processing or the storage periods. A forwarding of data to anonymised statistics can therefore not be ruled out.

b) If you follow our Facebook profile as a registered user (Facebook also calls this "subscribing"), Facebook adds your profile to the list of all followers/subscribers of our fan page. Facebook then makes our posts available to you on your newsfeed. Facebook provides Südzucker with the list of our subscribers. However, this list only contains data that is public, i.e. information that is voluntarily provided by the visitor via their Facebook settings. The user decides for himself which data he wants to make public in his Facebook settings. In addition, every visitor has the possibility to individually set his or her privacy in his or her Facebook settings (https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=privacy). In addition, every visitor has the option in his or her Facebook settings to actively hide his or her likes or to no longer follow the fan page. In this case, their profile will no longer appear in the list of fans of our pages.

In addition, we can also attribute comments and likes on our Facebook posts as well as activities on our profile pages to individual users.

The processing of this data serves the above-mentioned purpose and is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR on the basis of your voluntarily given consent by registering and logging in to Facebook.

We do not know the complete data collection, i.e. which data of a visitor Facebook collects in total and for which purposes it is processed by Facebook. The necessary information has not been made available to us by Facebook. We ask for your understanding that we can only inform you as far as our knowledge of the data processing in our area of responsibility and our influence on the data processing go.

Furthermore, we would like to point out that the operators of the platform, which can be accessed on the various end devices, are mostly US companies and therefore your data can also be processed outside the European Union and the European Economic Area. This may result in risks because, for example, it could make it more difficult to enforce the rights of users. For more details, please refer to the data protection declarations of the individual providers.

LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland (hereinafter "LinkedIn") is responsible for processing the personal data provided by the visitor when visiting our LinkedIn profile.
 

I. Principles

• We collect, process and use your personal data exclusively in compliance with the principles described below and the requirements of the EU Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter "GDPR") and the German Federal Data Protection Act applicable to Südzucker (hereinafter together with GDPR "applicable data protection provisions").
• Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter "data subject"). This includes, for example, components such as your name, postal address, email address and telephone number, but also usage data, such as information about the time of your visit to our profile, the browser you used, and other data generated when visiting our profile.
   

II. Scope of data collection, processing and use

• We collect, process and use your personal data provided to us by LinkedIn only for the purpose of providing information on Südzucker activities and networking with users registered with LinkedIn. This includes:
  - publishing information and news about our company, brand, Südzucker products and services,
  - the interaction and communication with users registered on LinkedIn,
  - the marketing of our offers and products,
  - the placement of advertisements on LinkedIn. 
• Your personal data will be processed exclusively on the basis of Südzucker's applicable data protection provisions, i.e. specifically on the basis of your prior consent given to Südzucker or after consideration of legitimate interests in the individual case, as the case may be.
• If we process personal data on the basis of consent, we will only do so as long as you do not object or revoke your consent.
• Our LinkedIn presence is not directed at anyone under the age of 16. We ask that people under the age of 16 do not provide any personal data to us. If we learn that we have collected personal information from anyone under 16, we will take steps to delete the information as soon as possible. If you learn that a user of our profile is under the age of 16, please contact us at [email protected]. We will keep this information strictly confidential.
• We provide you with information on exactly what data we collect and process about you in the following data protection information. If you have any questions about data protection, please contact [email protected]. You can find further information on the subject of data protection in our data protection declaration at www.suedzuckergroup.com/en/privacy-policy.
   

III. LinkedIn

a) LinkedIn collects personal data to evaluate user behaviour. LinkedIn provides the operators of LinkedIn profile pages, such as Südzucker, with insight data in anonymised and aggregated form in order to evaluate the behaviour of users as part of their interaction with our site. Südzucker cannot identify any visitor to the LinkedIn profile page in this process.

In addition, Südzucker is provided with statistics on the source of access to the LinkedIn profile, the type of end device used to access it or the number of page views. As the operator of this LinkedIn profile, Südzucker also receives anonymised statistical data (so-called analyses) from LinkedIn. No conclusions can be drawn about the respective visitor, subscriber or registered user (hereinafter collectively referred to as "visitor"; in individual cases, only the group of persons to whom the respective facts relate will be named in the following). Nor can this statistical data obtained be linked to the profile data of our followers. We can only specify the categories of data and visitors according to which LinkedIn evaluates its data collection and makes it available in the form of anonymised statistics. This data is used by Südzucker exclusively for the analysis of user behaviour so that we can better align our LinkedIn profile and our offering with the needs and interests of our visitors.

We use the analyses provided by LinkedIn to select relevant content for our posts on LinkedIn or to post targeted posts on the platform for relevant groups and to offer information material for download.

We only use the data provided to us by LinkedIn that is required for the purposes stated here. If further data is provided, it will not be retrieved and thus not processed by us.

We only receive anonymised information and statistics if the visitor to our LinkedIn profile is registered with LinkedIn. However, we would like to point out that as a result of the direct access to our LinkedIn profile, for example through the reading of log files (e.g. IP address) or the setting of cookies, a note of this data is possible by LinkedIn itself.

The use of your data transmitted to us by LinkedIn is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR:
- to carry out data analyses
- to statistically record the use and performance of our LinkedIn page and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimising our information offering for you
- to continuously improve and manage our information offering.

Our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR follows from the aforementioned points.

We have neither influence on the collection of data by LinkedIn nor on the data processing procedures existing at LinkedIn. We are also not aware of the scope of the data collection, the purposes of the processing or the storage periods. A forwarding of data in anonymised statistics can therefore not be ruled out.

b) If you follow our LinkedIn profile as a registered user, LinkedIn adds your profile to the list of all followers of our profile. LinkedIn then makes our posts available to you on your newsfeed. The list of our followers is provided to Südzucker by LinkedIn. However, this list only contains data that is public, i.e. information that is voluntarily provided by the visitor via their LinkedIn settings. The respective user decides individually in his or her LinkedIn settings what these are in concrete terms. In addition, each visitor has the option to individually set their privacy in the LinkedIn settings.

In addition, each visitor has the option of no longer following Südzucker's profile. In this case, their profile will no longer appear in the list of followers of our profile. 

We may also attribute interactions with our posts in the form of comments, likes and shares as well as activities on our profile pages to individual users.

The processing of this data serves the above-mentioned purpose and is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR on the basis of your voluntarily given consent by registering and logging in to LinkedIn.

We are not aware of the complete data collection, i.e. which data of a visitor LinkedIn collects in total and for which purposes it is processed by LinkedIn. The necessary information has not been provided to us by LinkedIn. We ask for your understanding that we can only inform you as far as our knowledge of the data processing in our area of responsibility and our influence on the data processing go.

c) Direct advertising by e-mail: We use the data provided to us in connection with your download of our information material ( e-mail address, name, name of the company) for direct advertising for our own similar offers. We send this information regardless of whether you have subscribed to our newsletter or not. If you do not wish to receive this information about similar products, you can object to this informally at any time using the contact details provided above, without incurring any transmission costs. Alternatively, you can also use the unsubscribe link contained in every email.
The legal basis for the data processing described is Section 7 (3) of the Law against Unfair Competition (UWG).

Furthermore, we point out that your data may also be processed outside the European Union and the European Economic Area. This may result in risks because, for example, it could make it more difficult to enforce the rights of users. Further details are provided in the data protection declarations of the individual providers.
