Processing in social media channels:

We operate web presences used for business purposes at various social media portals. At these portals, in addition to direct communication with you, we are provided with statistical evaluations based on the data collection of the social media portals. Thus, we partly determine the purposes of the data collection, so that we are also to be regarded as the responsible parties in addition to the social media operators.

We use these sites to provide information about our company and our products and services. Interacting with you as a prospective customer gives us direct insights into how we and our products are perceived on the market, who our customers and prospective customers are, what they are looking for, and thereby helps us to improve ourselves and our products and services for you.

In addition, these portals provide quick and easy ways to contact us, so that you as an interested party can address your questions to us directly where you are on the web. This allows us to answer your request without detours.

In principle, data processing via the platforms of the social media operators takes place within the framework of the general terms and conditions agreed between you and the platform operators as well as their data protection provisions. We have only limited influence on the data processing of the platform operators. If you do not wish to use the social media channels, you can of course also reach us and our information via our own website www.akkuplanet.de.

Jointly responsible with us LinkedIn:

The following entity is responsible for processing personal user data on LinkedIn websites: LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company 70 Sir John Rogerson’s Quay, Dublin 2 Dublin D02r296 Ireland (hereinafter referred to as “LinkedIn”)

Please note that LinkedIn also collects and processes certain information about your visit to our LinkedIn page even if you do not have a LinkedIn user account or are not logged in to LinkedIn. For information on the processing of personal data by LinkedIn, please refer to LinkedIn's data policy: https://de.linkedin.com/legal/privacy/eu As the operator of this LinkedIn page, we can only see your public profile on LinkedIn. The information that is visible here depends on your profile settings.

Contact:

IIn addition, we process the personal data you have provided to us (e.g. your name, contact details, if applicable, and the content of your messages, enquiries or other contributions to us) when you contact us via our LinkedIn page. We then process this data for the purpose for which you have provided it to us, e.g. to respond to your enquiry. This is in our overriding legitimate interest in responding to your concerns promptly.

The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. We store your personal data on our systems, i.e. outside of LinkedIn, to the extent necessary for the purposes of processing and, in addition, to the extent that statutory retention obligations exist or limitation periods apply. Different periods apply to the storage of personal data; for example, data relevant for tax purposes is generally stored for 10 years, while other data is generally stored for 6 years in accordance with commercial law regulations.
Finally, the storage period may also be based on the statutory limitation periods, which, for example, according to Sections 195 et seq. of the British Civil Code (BGB), are generally three years, but in certain cases can also be up to thirty years.

The specifications of LinkedIn must be observed when storing data within the platform. When you visit our company page, we are jointly responsible with the operator of the social media platform for the data processing operations triggered during this visit. Please note that despite our joint responsibility with the social media portal operators, we do not have full control over the data processing operations of the social media portals.

Our options are largely determined by the corporate policy of the respective provider.

Statistics:

In addition, LinkedIn provides us with so-called page insights data. This data consists of anonymous statistics that help us evaluate interest in our LinkedIn page and our content. These statistical data help us to improve our offering on these pages in line with our target group, which represents our overriding legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. These statistics are compiled on the basis of usage data collected by LinkedIn during your use of the platform.

The following user data, among other things, is taken into account: your age, your approximate location (determined by your IP address), your default language, your interaction within the platform, e.g. which pages you have clicked on, liked or shared, which pages you follow, from which page you came to the platform, and other information. Only LinkedIn has access to the underlying usage data. LinkedIn has committed to us that it will take primary responsibility for processing the Page Insights data and will disclose to you the essence of the agreement on joint responsibility between LinkedIn and us.

You have the following rights:

To the extent that the processing relates solely to LinkedIn's  area of responsibility, LinkedIn is responsible for fulfilling your rights. To exercise your rights with respect to data processing by LinkedIn, please contact LinkedIn directly if possible. Insofar as you address such a request to us, we will forward your request to LinkedIn without delay. In all other cases, we will be happy to assist you further in asserting your rights at our contact details provided above.

Pursuant to Articles 15-21 of the GDPR, if the conditions described therein are met, you may assert the following rights with respect to the personal data processed by us.

Right of access

You have a right to be informed about the personal data concerning you that is processed by us.

Right to rectification

You may request the rectification of incomplete or inaccurately processed personal data.

Right to deletion

You have a right to have personal data concerning you deleted, in particular if one of the following reasons applies

Your personal data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.

You revoke your consent on which the processing of your data was based.
You have exercised a right to object to processing and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for processing.
Your data has been processed unlawfully.
However, the right to erasure does not then exist insofar as this conflicts with legitimate interests of the controller. Legitimate interest is to be assumed in the following cases:
Personal data are necessary for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims.
Deletion is not possible due to retention obligations.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to demand that we restrict the processing of your personal data if

you dispute the accuracy of the data and we therefore verify the accuracy,
the processing is unlawful and you refuse the deletion and demand the restriction of use instead,
we no longer need the data, but you need it to assert, exercise or defend legal claims,
you have objected to the processing of your data and it has not yet been determined whether our legitimate reasons outweigh your reasons.

Right to data portability

If the processing is based on your consent or a contract with us and the processing is carried out by us with the help of automated processes, you have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to us in a structured, common and machine-readable format and you have the right to have this data transferred to another controller without hindrance from us.

Right of objection

You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation. Unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or demonstrate that the processing is for the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims on our part, we will no longer process the data.

In addition, if personal data is processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to our processing for the purpose of such marketing. This also applies to profiling, insofar as it is related to such direct advertising. In this case, the personal data will no longer be processed by us for these purposes.

Right of revocation

Insofar as the processing of your personal data is based on consent, you have the right to revoke this consent at any time.

Right of appeal to a supervisory authority

According to Art 77 DSGVO, every data subject has the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if he or she is of the opinion that the processing of personal data concerning him or her violates the DSGVO. The competent supervisory authority in matters of data protection law is the State Data Protection Commissioner of the federal state in which our company is based:

The State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information of North Rhine-Westphalia.
