Data Processing by MKN Maschinenfabrik Kurt Neubauer GmbH & Co. KG
On our various social media presences, you have various options for voluntarily providing your personal data (e.g. by commenting, sharing, rating, etc.). This personal data is published by the provider of the social media platform. MKN Maschinenfabrik Kurt Neubauer GmbH & Co. KG reserves the right to delete content where necessary and technically feasible. If the social media platform has a sharing function, we may share your content on our respective appearance. In addition, we may use the respective social media platform to communicate with you and respond to your enquiries. We do not process or use your personal data for any other purposes within our company. The legal basis for the aforementioned data processing activities is generally Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR and therefore lies in our legitimate interest in public relations and communication.
Under certain circumstances, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data when it is based on legitimate interests. To exercise this right, please contact us by mail at datenschutz@mkn.de. Alternatively, you may send us your request by post to the above stated address. Upon receipt of your objection, we will review internally whether we have control over the respective data processing activity.
Insofar as it is possible for us, your personal data shall be deleted in the event of the termination of the respective social media presence. If you submit an enquiry to us via one of our social media profiles, we may, depending on the response required, refer you to another secure communication channel in order to ensure the confidentiality of your personal data. In any case, you also have the option of sending us confidential enquiries via the address or email address stated above.
As standard practice, social media platform operators provide us with statistics, the deactivation of which we can only influence to a limited extent. As a rule, this data consists of aggregated and anonymized statistics regarding user behaviour on our social media presence.
Data Processing by Social Media Platform Providers
Data processing by providers of social media platforms is routinely carried out even if you do not have an account with the respective provider. This data collection can take place through the setting of cookies, which are stored on the user's end device and transmit corresponding personal data to the provider of the social media platform. Cookies are text files that label the user's respective devices with a specific identifier for identification purposes. As the operator of the respective social media platform, we have no influence on this data collection by the providers. We explicitly point out that we regularly have extremely limited possibilities to influence this data processing.
Furthermore, we would like to point out that social media platform providers typically employ ad tracking practices to leverage the resulting personal data for analysing user habits, personal relationships, preferences, etc. Consequently, providers are able to personalize the design and content of their platforms.
