3. Data processing in connection with our online presences

3.1 Presences on social media

Data processing on our Instagram presence

For the information we publish, we use the platform and services of Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, Merrion Road, Dublin 4, D04 X2K5, Ireland (hereinafter "Meta"). If you choose to use our Meta pages, you do so at your own responsibility. This applies in particular to the use of interactive functions (for example commenting or rating). We have no influence on the type and scope of the data Meta collects and processes. As a rule, when you use our Meta pages, the IP address assigned to your device is transmitted to Meta. According to Meta, this IP address is anonymized (for IP addresses from Germany) and deleted after 90 days. Meta also stores information about your device. This information is used to provide us, as page operators, with statistical information.

Meta also provides us with statistical data for our pages. This is aggregated data that helps us understand how users interact with our page and allows us to present our offering in an optimized way and communicate effectively with users. The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, with our legitimate interest arising from the purposes stated above. The data collected about you in this context is processed by Meta and may be transferred to countries outside the European Union. Information on Meta's transfer of European data to third countries, including the Instagram platform, can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/legal/EU_data_transfer_addendum

Further information on data protection at Meta, and in particular on how you can object to processing or manage or delete the information held about you, can be found in Meta's privacy policy: https://privacycenter.instagram.com/policy/

If you are logged in to Meta services, a cookie containing your identifier is stored on your device. This allows Meta to recognize that you have visited our page and how you used it. This also applies to all other Meta pages. Meta is also able to link your visits to these websites to your Meta profile. Based on this data, Meta can offer you tailored content or advertising. If you want to avoid this, you can log out of Meta, deactivate the "stay logged in" function, and delete the cookies stored on your device. This deletes the Meta information through which you can be directly identified. You can then use our Meta pages without your Meta identifier being disclosed. If you want to use the page's interactive functions (for example Like, comment, and messages), a Meta login window appears. After logging in, Meta can once again link you to your profile.

Insofar as we, as the provider of our Meta pages, process personal data exclusively ourselves, for example when you contact us about our products or give us your consent to do so, your data is collected, processed, and used for the purpose of answering your inquiry or providing the service you requested. The legal bases for this processing are Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR (consent), Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, and Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

Beyond this, as the provider of our Meta pages, we do not collect or process any data from your use of our service.

Data processing on our TikTok presence

For the content we publish, we use the platform and services of TikTok Technology Limited, 10 Earlsfort Terrace, Dublin, D02 T380, Ireland (hereinafter "TikTok"). When you visit our TikTok presence or interact with our content, TikTok processes various personal data, such as your IP address, interaction data (likes, comments, shared content), and usage data (videos watched, time spent). This data is used to provide us with anonymized statistics about the use of our TikTok content, to analyze the reach of our posts, and to optimize our content. This data is processed on the basis of our legitimate interest under Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR in improving our social media presence and better understanding our target groups.

TikTok itself processes your data in accordance with its own privacy policy, over which we have no influence. Further information on data processing by TikTok can be found in TikTok's privacy policy: https://www.tiktok.com/legal/privacy-policy

The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, with our legitimate interest arising from the purposes stated above.

Hosting

Our website and our email mailboxes are hosted by easyname GmbH, Canettistraße 5/10, 1100 Vienna, Austria (hereinafter "easyname"). The access data listed above is processed on easyname's servers.

If you contact us by email, your details are used exclusively for the purpose of handling your inquiry and providing any services you may have requested through it. We collect and process further or other personal data only if you make use of specific services and we need your data for this purpose, or if you have given us your express consent, for example by filling out a corresponding form, sending us an email, commissioning services, or submitting inquiries to us. The legal bases for this processing are Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR and Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

Essential cookies and services for website operation

Essential cookies and comparable technologies are required to provide basic functions of our website. We only use the following:

This information is stored only in your browser and is not transmitted to us or to third parties. The processing is based on our legitimate interest in the basic provision of our website (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR). You can delete this data at any time in your browser settings.

Data processing in connection with the cookie management tool

To obtain your consent, we use our own cookie notice without an external provider. On your first visit, we ask whether you allow only technically necessary cookies or also Google Analytics (see below). Your choice is stored in the cookie "ddd_consent" in your browser. After 6 months, we ask again.

This information is processed exclusively locally in your browser and is not transmitted to us or to third parties. You can change your choice at any time via the "Cookie settings" link at the bottom of every page, and thereby withdraw any consent you have given.

The processing is based on our legitimate interest in designing our website in a legally compliant manner and in fulfilling our statutory documentation obligations pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR in conjunction with Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR.

Cookies and services that are not technically necessary

Google Analytics

If you have given your consent via our cookie notice ("Accept all"), we use Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (hereinafter "Google"). Without your consent, Google Analytics is not loaded.

Google Analytics sets cookies (in particular "_ga" and "_ga_…", storage period up to 2 years) that allow your use of our website to be analyzed, for example pages visited, time spent, approximate location (country, city), device type, and browser. IP addresses are not stored by Google Analytics 4. Google processes this information on our behalf to compile reports on the use of our website. We have concluded a data processing agreement with Google. The data collected is automatically deleted after 14 months at the latest.

In the process, data may be transferred to servers of Google LLC in the USA. Google LLC is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework; the transfer is based on the European Commission's adequacy decision (Art. 45 GDPR).

The legal basis is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future by choosing "Only necessary" under "Cookie settings" at the bottom of every page.

Further information on data processing by Google and on your rights can be found in Google's privacy policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245

5. Disclosure of data to third parties and external recipients

In certain cases we are legally obliged to transmit data to a requesting government authority, for example under national legislation. The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR. When involving service providers in the context of data processing on our behalf, we comply with the data protection provisions of Art. 28 GDPR and Art. 44 et seq. GDPR.

Beyond this, we only pass data on to third parties if you have expressly consented to this, if the transfer is evidently necessary to perform a service you have requested (for example involving a shipping service provider), or if the transfer is required by law.

In the event of a transfer of personal data to countries outside the EU or the EEA, we take all necessary steps to ensure that appropriate measures to protect your personal data have been taken in accordance with data protection regulations, for example by applying the standard contractual clauses approved by the EU Commission.

6. Use of data for communication and marketing

Surveys and advertising for similar products

To ensure that our service meets your expectations, we may use the email address you provide in the course of an inquiry, an order, or in connection with the use of our free offerings for customer satisfaction surveys. As a customer, we may send you advertising by email, even without prior consent, for products similar to the services you have commissioned or used from us in the past. The legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interest in improving our services (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).

You can object to future use by sending a message to the contact details given above or, in the case of a newsletter, by using the unsubscribe link it contains.

Newsletter registration

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we process your email address and your chosen language in order to inform you about new releases from DeeDeeDun.Books, for example the release of the Kindle edition. The legal basis is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR, which you give by subscribing and confirming your subscription.

We use the so-called double opt-in procedure for newsletter registration. After submitting the form, you receive an email with a confirmation link that is valid for 7 days. Only when you click this link do we add your address to our mailing list. This ensures that no one can register someone else's email address. If you do not confirm, we do not use your address any further.

To document your consent, we log the time of registration and confirmation as well as the IP address from which you confirmed the registration (Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR in conjunction with Art. 7 (1) GDPR). This information, together with your email address, is sent by email to our mailbox newsletter@deedeedun.com at easyname and stored there.

You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future, for example via the unsubscribe link in every newsletter or by sending an informal message to newsletter@deedeedun.com. We will then remove your address from our mailing list. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out up to that point.

7. Use of Impressum-Privatschutz (IP-Management)

To manage the mail sent to us, we use the services of IMPRESSUM-PRIVATSCHUTZ GmbH, Ludwig-Erhard-Str. 18, 20459 Hamburg, Germany. This service provider offers a secure and reliable postal address for our project (for example for the legal notice, privacy policy, cancellation policy, and other areas where applicable). This also constitutes our legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. We have concluded a data processing agreement with Impressum-Privatschutz and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using this service. Further information on data protection at Impressum-Privatschutz GmbH can be found here: https://impressum-privatschutz.de/datenschutzerklaerung/

8. Data retention period

We store personal data until you withdraw your consent, until the data is no longer required to fulfill our business interests or to provide the service you requested, or for as long as required by law.

9. Data security

We attach great importance to the protection of your personal data and have therefore implemented technical and organizational measures (TOMs) to ensure an appropriate level of protection in accordance with legal requirements, in particular the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). These measures serve to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the data we process and to protect it from unauthorized access, loss, destruction, or manipulation.

The technical and organizational measures are adapted to the state of the art as necessary in order to continue to ensure the protection of your data.

10. Your rights as a data subject

You have the right at any time to request, free of charge, information about the purpose, scope, origin, and recipients of the personal data stored about you (Art. 15 GDPR). In addition, you have the right to request the rectification of inaccurate or incomplete data (Art. 16 GDPR).

In accordance with data protection law, you also have the right to erasure of your personal data if the conditions of Art. 17 GDPR are met (right to be forgotten), as well as the right to restriction of processing of your personal data pursuant to Art. 18 GDPR. You also have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data (Art. 21 GDPR) where this processing is based on Art. 6 (1) (e) or (f) GDPR. This applies in particular to the processing of your data for direct marketing purposes.

You also have the right to data portability, meaning that you can receive the personal data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, or request that this data be transmitted to another controller, provided the conditions of Art. 20 GDPR are met.

If you believe that the processing of your personal data violates data protection law or that your rights have otherwise been infringed, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR.

You also have the right to withdraw any consent you have given to the processing of your personal data at any time with effect for the future, for example by informal notice by email or in writing to the contact details given above (Art. 7 (3) GDPR). The lawfulness of processing carried out on the basis of your consent up to the time of withdrawal remains unaffected.
