We process personal data of our users only insofar as this is necessary for the provision of a functional website and our content and services. The processing of personal data of our users is regularly only carried out with the consent of the user. An exception applies in those cases where obtaining prior consent is not possible for actual reasons and the processing of the data is required by legal regulations.

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing operations involving personal data, Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis.

When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures.

Insofar as processing of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis.

In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person make processing of personal data necessary, Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

The personal data of the data subject shall be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of the storage no longer applies. Storage may also take place if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws or other provisions to which the controller is subject. Data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or performance of a contract.

If personal data is processed by you, you are a data subject within the meaning of the GDPR and you have the following rights vis-à-vis the controller:

You have the right to request confirmation from us as to whether personal data concerning you are being processed.
If this is the case, you have the right to obtain information about this data and the following information:

If your personal data is incorrect or incomplete, you have the right to request that the personal data be corrected or completed without delay.

If one of the following conditions is met, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data:

If one of the following reasons applies, you have the right to request immediate deletion of your personal data:

Please note that the above reasons do not apply insofar as the processing is necessary:

You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, common and machine-readable format or to request the transfer to another controller.

You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data relating to you which is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. e or f GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

If the personal data concerning you is processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such marketing; this also applies to profiling, insofar as it is related to such direct marketing.

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if you consider that the processing of personal data concerning you infringes the GDPR. The supervisory authority to which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant of the status and outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy under Article 78 GDPR. A list, of the locally competent supervisory authorities in Germany can be found on the website of the Federal Commissioner for Data Protection at the following link: https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Service/Anschriften/Laender/Laender-node.html.

Each time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the accessing computer.
The following data is collected:

This data is stored in the log files of our system. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.

The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable delivery of the website to the user’s computer. For this purpose, the IP address of the user must remain stored for the duration of the session.
The storage in log files is done to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, we use the data to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context.
These purposes are also our legitimate interest in data processing according to Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR.

The legal basis for the temporary storage of the data and the log files is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR.

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of the collection of data for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended.
In the case of storage of data in log files, this is the case after seven days at the latest. Storage beyond this period is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or alienated, so that an assignment of the calling client is no longer possible.

The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in log files is mandatory for the operation of the website. The user can object to this. Whether the objection is successful is to be determined in the context of a balancing of interests.

In this context, a part of the IP address as well as the additional information provided by the user (in particular zip code) are only read and not stored separately.

You can prevent geotargeting by using, for example, a VPN or proxy server that prevents precise localization. In addition, depending on the browser used, you can also deactivate a location localization in the corresponding browser settings (insofar as the respective browser supports this).

Insofar as consent of the data subject is obtained for processing operations of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 p.1 lit. a (DSGVO) serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data.

When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 para. 1 S.1 lit. b DSGVO serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures.

Insofar as processing of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which SOMAG AG Jena or Facebook is subject, Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. c DSGVO serves as the legal basis.

In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person make processing of personal data necessary, Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. d DSGVO serves as the legal basis.

If the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of SOMAG AG Jena, Facebook or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override the former interest, Art. 6 para. 1 S.1 lit. f DSGVO serves as the legal basis for the processing.

The visitor has the possibility to revoke his consent to the processing of personal data at any time (see also rights of data subjects). If the visitor contacts us by e-mail, he can object to the storage of his personal data at any time.
The collection of data for the provision of the Facebook page and the storage of the data in log files is mandatory for the operation of the Facebook page. Consequently, there is no possibility of objection on the part of the visitor.

If personal data is processed by you, you are a data subject within the meaning of the DSGVO and you are entitled to the following rights vis-à-vis the persons responsible:

If you wish to exercise your rights, you can address your request to both SOMAG AG Jena and Facebook. For this purpose, you can use the contact options listed above, for example. If you contact us, we will forward your request, insofar as it concerns questions regarding the processing of Insights data, to Facebook. Facebook will respond to inquiries in accordance with our obligations under the Page Insights Supplement.

SOMAG AG Jena maintains online presences within social networks in order to communicate with interested parties and users active there and to be able to inform them there about our products, events and news.

When you call up our Facebook page (regardless of whether you are logged into your Facebook account or not), your browser transmits certain data to the web server for which Facebook is responsible for technical reasons. In addition, Facebook uses so-called “cookies”. Cookies are small text files that are stored in the memory of your end device via your browser. Cookies set by Facebook are intended, among other things, to enable SOMAG AG Jena, as operator of the Facebook page, to obtain statistics that Facebook compiles on the basis of visits to this page for the purpose of controlling the marketing of our activities.

As the operator of the Facebook page, SOMAG AG Jena can obtain anonymized statistical data concerning the visitors to our Facebook page with the help of the Facebook Page Insights function, which Facebook provides to us free of charge as a non-derogable part of the user relationship. This data is collected using cookies set by Facebook, each of which contains a unique user code that Facebook stores on the visitor’s terminal device. The user code, which can be linked to the login data of such users who are registered with Facebook, is collected and processed when the Facebook page is accessed.

In particular, the fan page operator may receive demographic data provided by Facebook about its target audience – and thus the processing of such data, including. Trends in age, gender, relationship status and professional situation, information about the lifestyle and interests of his target audience and information about the purchases and online purchasing behavior of visitors to his page, the categories of goods or services they are most interested in, as well as geographical data that inform him about where to carry out special promotions or organize events and, more generally, allow him to target his information offer as much as possible.

Although the visitor statistics generated by Facebook are transmitted exclusively in anonymous form to SOMAG AG Jena as the operator of the Facebook page, the generation of these statistics is based on the prior collection – through the cookies set by Facebook on the end device of the visitors – and the processing of the personal data of these visitors for these statistical purposes.

https://de-de.facebook.com/help/pages/insights

Likewise, data on the Facebook groups linked to our Facebook page are provided in this way. Due to the constant development of Facebook, the availability and processing of the data changes, so for further details on this we refer to the privacy notices of Facebook mentioned in the previous paragraph and below under “PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA BY FACEBOOK” corresponding.

We use this data, which is available in aggregated form, to make our posts and activities on our Facebook page more attractive to users. For example, we use the distributions by age and gender for an adapted address and the preferred visiting times of the users for a time-optimized planning of our posts. Information about the type of end devices used by visitors helps us to adapt the visual design of the posts accordingly. In accordance with the Facebook Terms of Use, which each user has agreed to as part of creating a Facebook profile, we can identify subscribers and fans of the site and view their profiles and other shared information from them.

In addition to this automatically collected anonymized data, we also process the data that you have voluntarily provided to us in the context of, for example, comments on posts or contacting us.

If you click on the link https://www.facebook.com/somagagjena (you are currently on this page), which is set on the Facebook fan page of SOMAG AG Jena, you will be taken to a sub-page of the SOMAG AG Jena website.

Personal data is also processed on this page. The data protection declaration applicable to these pages can be found here: https://www.somag-ag.de/privacy-policy/

Personal data is deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose for storing it no longer applies. Storage may still be necessary if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws or other provisions to which SOMAG AG Jena is subject. Data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need to continue storing the data for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.

Facebook processes personal data of visitors according to its own information for the following purposes:

When you access our Facebook page (regardless of whether you are logged into your Facebook account or not), your browser transmits certain data to the web server for which Facebook is responsible for technical reasons. In addition, “cookies” are used by Facebook. Facebook uses cookies, among other things, to provide SOMAG AG Jena, as the operator of the Facebook page, with statistics for the purpose of controlling the marketing of our activities. Further information on the use of cookies by Facebook can be found in the Facebook Cookie Policy: https://de-de.facebook.com/policies/cookies/

In order to provide Facebook products, it is necessary for Facebook to process information about visitors. The types of information collected by Facebook depend on how the visitor uses the Facebook Products. In this regard, the following information may be processed by Facebook:

Things done and provided by visitors and others, such as information about how the visitor uses Facebook Products, information about transactions made on Facebook Products, or information about the people, pages, accounts, hashtags, and groups with which the visitor is connected.

Device information such as device attributes, identifiers, network and connections, and cookie data.

Information from partners, according to which advertisers, app developers, and publishers may send information to Facebook through the Facebook business tools they use, including the social plugins (such as the “Like” button), Facebook Login, or the Facebook Pixel. These partners provide Facebook with information about the visitor’s activities outside of Facebook.

In addition, Facebook uses cookies that are set on the end device of the visitor when the Facebook page is called up, regardless of whether the visitor is logged into his Facebook account or not. In addition, Facebook also processes the information stored in the cookies when a person visits Facebook services, services provided by other members of the Facebook group of companies, and services provided by other companies that use Facebook services. In addition, other entities such as Facebook partners and other third parties may use cookies on the Facebook Services to provide services to Facebook or the companies advertising on Facebook. For more information about Facebook’s use of cookies, please see Facebook’s Cookie Policy: https://de-de.facebook.com/policies/cookies/

When you access a Facebook page, the IP address assigned to your terminal device is transmitted to Facebook. According to Facebook, this IP address is anonymized (for “German” IP addresses) and deleted after 90 days. Facebook also stores information about its users’ end devices (in particular as part of the “login notification” function); this may enable Facebook to assign IP addresses to individual users.

If you would like to avoid this, you should log out of Facebook or deactivate the “stay logged in” function, delete the cookies present on your device and exit and restart your browser. In this way, Facebook information through which you can be directly identified will be deleted. This will allow you to use our Facebook page without revealing your Facebook identifier. When you access interactive features of the page (Like, Comment, Share, Message, etc.), a Facebook login screen will appear. After any login, you will again be recognizable to Facebook as a specific user.

Facebook works with third-party partners who help Facebook provide and improve its products or who use Facebook business tools to help Facebook grow its business. In doing so, information may be shared by Facebook with the following third party partners:

For more information about the data Facebook may share with third party partners, please see the Facebook Data Policy: https://de-de.facebook.com/policy.php

Facebook shares information globally, both internally between Facebook companies and externally with its partners, as well as with those individuals or organizations that the visitor connects with and shares with around the world. In the process, data may also be transferred to and processed in the United States or other third countries that do not have an adequate level of data protection. In this regard, Facebook uses standard data protection clauses approved by the European Commission or relies on adequacy decisions issued by the European Commission regarding specific countries.
For more information on data transfers by Facebook, please refer to the Facebook Data Policy: https://de-de.facebook.com/policy.php

Facebook retains data until it is no longer needed to provide its services and Facebook products or until the user’s Facebook account is deleted, whichever occurs first. This is a case-by-case determination and depends on things like the type of data, why it is being collected and processed, and relevant legal or operational storage needs.

For more information on data deletion and retention periods, please see Facebook’s Data Policy: https://de-de.facebook.com/policy.php

Regarding the retention period of cookies set by Facebook, you can find more information in the Facebook Cookie Policy: https://de-de.facebook.com/policies/cookies/
