Social media guidelines

When you visit our social media pages, it may be necessary to process relevant data. We would therefore like to inform you below, in accordance with Art. 13 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), about the handling of your data and your rights resulting from this.

We, ATR International AG, Marie-Curie-Straße 3, 73770 Denkendorf, operate the following social media pages:

Our contact details: Tel. + 49 (0) 711 91 89 79-0 and e-mail: info@atr.de 

In addition to us, the respective operator of the social media platform is also responsible for the processing of your personal data. Insofar as we can influence and parameterise the data processing, we work within the scope of the possibilities available to us to ensure that the operator of the social media platform handles the data in accordance with the GDPR. In this context, please also refer to the privacy policy of the respective social media platform. However, the operator will inform you about the data processing in its own privacy policy. 

Within the scope of platform use, your personal data is usually also processed by the platform operator on servers in third countries.

Data processing by us
The data you enter on our social media pages, such as user names, comments, videos, pictures, likes, public messages, etc. are published by the social media platform and are not processed by us for any other purpose at any time. We only reserve the right to delete content if this should be necessary. Where appropriate, we share your content on our site if this is a function of the social media platform and communicate with you via the social media platform. 

If you send us an enquiry on the social media platform, we may also refer you to other more secure communication channels that guarantee confidentiality, depending on the content. For example, you have the option of sending us your enquiries at any time to the address given in the imprint or to info@atr.de. The choice of the appropriate communication channel is your own responsibility here. 

The legal basis for processing your data is our legitimate interest according to Art. 6 (1) f GDPR. The data processing is carried out in the legitimate interest of conducting public relations for our company and being able to communicate with you.

Some social media platforms create statistics based on usage data and contain information about your interaction with our social media site. We cannot influence the implementation and provision of these statistics, nor can we prevent them. However, we do not make use of optional statistics from the social media platform. 

We process this information in accordance with Art. 6 (1) f GDPR in the legitimate interest of validating the use of our social media pages and improving our content in a target group-oriented manner.

If you wish to object to certain data processing over which we have control, please contact us using the contact details provided in the imprint.

Storage period
We delete your personal data when they are no longer required for the aforementioned processing purposes and no legal retention obligations prevent deletion.

The operator of the social media platform uses web tracking methods. The web tracking can also take place regardless of whether you are logged in or registered with the social media platform.

We would therefore like to point out that it cannot be ruled out that the provider of the social media platform uses your profile and behavioural data to evaluate for example your habits, personal relationships, preferences, etc. In this respect, we have no influence on the processing of your data by the provider of the social media platform, so that the use of the social media platform is at your own responsibility.

You can find more information on data processing by the provider of the social media platform, configuration options for protecting your privacy as well as further objection options and, if available and concluded, the agreement pursuant to Art. 26 GDPR in the provider's privacy policy:

For more information on the joint responsibility agreement pursuant to Art. 26 (2) sentence 2 GDPR, please visit: https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/page_controller_addendum

Your use of the platform may result in the processing of your data in a third country (located outside the European Economic Area) by the platform operator. In some countries, there is a risk that authorities may access the data for security and monitoring purposes without you being informed or having the right to appeal. For more information on the processing of your data in a third country over which ATR has no control, please refer to the privacy policy of the social media platforms. 

As a website user, you have the possibility to assert the following rights against us as well as against the provider of the social media platform if the prerequisites are met:

Right of access (Art. 15 GDPR): 
You have the right to request confirmation as to whether personal data concerning you is being processed; if this is the case, you have the right to be informed about this personal data and to the information listed in detail in Article 15 GDPR.

Right to rectification and erasure (Art. 16 and 17 GDPR):
You have the right to request without delay the correction of any inaccurate personal data concerning you and, where applicable, the completion of any incomplete personal data. 

You also have the right to request that personal data concerning you be deleted without delay if one of the reasons listed in detail in Article 17 GDPR applies, e.g. if the data is no longer required for the purposes pursued.

Right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR):
You have the right to request the restriction of processing if one of the conditions listed in Art. 18 GDPR applies, for example if you have objected to the processing, for the duration of any review.

Right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR): 
In certain cases, which are detailed in Art. 20 GDPR, you have the right to receive the personal data concerning you in a structured, common and machine-readable format or to request the transfer of this data to a third party.

Right to object (Art. 21 GDPR): 
If data is processed on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) f DSGVO, you have the right to object to the processing at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation. We will then no longer process the personal data unless there are demonstrably compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

If the data is processed on the basis of legitimate interest for the purpose of direct marketing, you have your own right to object, which you may exercise at any time without giving reasons and the exercise of which will result in the termination of the processing for the purpose of direct marketing. 

Right of appeal to a supervisory authority
Pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if you are of the opinion that the processing of data concerning you violates data protection provisions. The right of complaint may in particular be asserted before a supervisory authority in the member state of your place of residence, your place of work or the place of the alleged infringement.

Providing your data
Unless otherwise stated in the previous chapters, the provision of personal data is not required by law or contract or necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are not obliged to provide the personal data if no other information has been provided previously. Failure to provide your personal data may mean that we are unable to respond to your contact request.
