Information about social media fan pages
baleaf maintains social media profiles on the social networks Facebook and Instagram (so-called "fan pages"). We regularly publish and share content, offers, and product recommendations on our fan pages. With every interaction on our fan pages or other Facebook or Instagram websites, the operators of the social networks record your usage behavior using cookies and similar technologies. Fan page operators can view general statistics on the interests and demographic characteristics (such as age, gender, region) of the fan page audience. If you use social networks, the type, scope, and purposes of the processing of data on social networks are primarily determined by the operators of the social networks.
When you visit our fan pages, Baleaf generally collects all messages, content, and other information that you share with us directly, such as when you post something on a fan page or send us a private message. If you have an account with the respective social network, we may also see your public information, such as your username, information in your public profile, and content you share with a public audience.
With every interaction with fan pages, Facebook uses cookies and similar technologies to record the usage behavior of fan page visits. On this basis, the fan page operators receive so-called "Page Insights." Page Insights contain only statistical, depersonalized (anonymized) information about visitors to the fan page, which therefore cannot be assigned to a specific person. We have no access to the personal data used by Facebook to create Page Insights ("Page Insights data"). The selection and processing of Page Insights data is carried out exclusively by Facebook.
Baleaf and Facebook are jointly responsible for processing your data to provide Page Insights.
Legal basis: If you have consented to Facebook creating Page Insights as described above, the legal basis is Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR (consent). Otherwise, the legal basis is Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR, whereby our legitimate interests lie in the purposes stated above.
Surveys, feedback, competitions & events
If we run competitions and promotions in cooperation with other companies, the personal data collected as part of the competition or promotion may also be passed on to these companies, for example if this is necessary in connection with a competition in order to provide the prize.
Security and storage of your data
Please note that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee "perfect security." Furthermore, the information you send us may not be secure during transmission. We recommend that you do not use insecure channels to communicate sensitive or confidential information with us.
How long we retain your personal information depends on a variety of factors, including whether we need the information to administer your account, provide the Services, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce other applicable agreements and policies.
