III. Processing of data by Salescode

If you are registered with Facebook, you can send us a message via the “Message” function. Such messages are invisible to other Facebook users. You can also comment on a post published in our Page. We process the personal data contained in a message or comment (actual content of the message/comment and username) as provided by yourself to Salescode exclusively in order to respond to your inquiry and provide support. The legal bases for such processing are the legitimate interest of Salescode to communicate with users of the Page based on Art. 6 (1) f) of the Data Protection Regulation and the consent of the data subject based on Art. 6(1) a) of the Data Protection Regulation. Salescode has a legitimate interest to build and maintain an online community with interested users via its Facebook Fan page where it can effectively communicate to them company's news and keep them engaged with content of interest such as company’s culture and core values and information on the services provided by Salescode. Insofar as you wish to enter into a contractual relationship with Salescode with your inquiry, the legal basis for such processing is Art. 6 (1) b) of the Data Protection Regulation.

Personal data which have been communicated to us via the “Message” function are only saved until the purpose for which they have been entrusted to us has been fulfilled and no other grounds exist to entitle or oblige us to keep the said message (e.g. statutory obligations to retain records).

We are not cognizant of the manner in which messages sent to Salescode are analyzed, interpreted or otherwise processed by Facebook. In this regard, we refer you to the information provided in the section “Processing of data by Facebook” of this Privacy Notice.

Salescode also utilizes the aggregated statistical information relating to the use of the Facebook page that Facebook makes available via the “Facebook Insights” function for the purpose of understanding the performance and reach of the Page and for business analytics purposes. The legal basis for such processing is the legitimate interest of Salescode to evaluate and improve the reach of the Page [Art. 6 (1) f) of the Data Protection Regulation]. When you visit our Facebook page, certain data relating to your visit – which may include personal data – will be transferred to, and processed by, Facebook, including information  collected for providing the “Facebook Insights” function, e.g. via placement of certain cookies. On account of this, Salescode and Facebook may be regarded as Joint Controllers in respect of this data and the terms of use agreed between Salescode and Facebook have been complemented by a so-called joint controller agreement in order to comply with applicable data privacy law. This joint controller agreement is available at https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/page_controller_addendum. Further details on Facebook Insights can be found in the section “Processing of data by Facebook”.

IV. Processing of data by Facebook

Facebook processes your personal data when you visit our Page. For more information on what kinds of personal data Facebook processes and on what data protection rights you have against Facebook please see Facebook’s privacy notice referred to above. We have no influence on Facebook’s data processing. When you visit our Facebook page whether you are a registered user or not, Facebook processes details including but not limited to your IP address, which is directed to Facebook via Cookies on your terminal device. Among other purposes, information collected through cookies is used to supply Salescode, as the operator of the Facebook page, with aggregated statistical information about the reach and performance of the Facebook page. Facebook provides further details on this via the following link: https://de-de.facebook.com/help/pages/insights. Facebook’s Cookie policies may be found at: https://www.facebook.com/policies/cookies/.

Moreover, on our website we use the so-called Facebook plug-in, an embedded link to our Facebook page. When using the plugin, your internet browser creates a direct connection to the respective Social media service provider’ server. This way, Facebook receives the information that your internet browser accessed from our website - even if you do not have a user account with Facebook or are currently not logged into your account. Log files (including the IP address) are, in this case, directly transmitted from your internet browser to a server of Facebook and might be stored there. The provider or its server may be located outside the EU or the EEA (e.g. in the USA). The Facebook plugin is standalone extension by the social media service provider. Therefore, we are unable to influence the scope of data collected and stored by Facebook.

The data relating to you that is gathered and processed by Facebook can under certain circumstances be transferred to countries outside the European Union.
