ZDF Sparks has a presence on various social platforms to communicate with users of those social platforms and to present our company there. Currently, ZDF Sparks is active in LinkedIn. The link is available in the ZDF Sparks website.
Data from users of the social platforms is generally processed for marketing and advertising purposes. Social platform providers create user profiles based on users’ usage behaviour to show them adverts that correspond with their presumed interests. Usage behaviour is facilitated by saving cookies on users’ end devices. Data relating to the user who is signed in to that platform is also stored. Here, there is the possibility that user data will be processed outside the European Union. This may be risky for the user as it may complicate the enforcement of data subject rights the user has. If the corresponding provider is subject to the Privacy Shield, it is obliged to guarantee European data protection standards.
The processing of personal data is based on a legitimate interest in targeted user information pursuant to point (f) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR. If users are asked by the respective social platform provider to consent to data processing, the legal bases for processing are point (a) of Article 6(1) and Article 7 of the GDPR.
Below, you can find a detailed description of how personal data is processed on the respective social platform, how you can exercise your data subject rights and what options there are to object. As only the respective social platform providers have access to individual users’ data, only they can provide the information directly or take corresponding action directly. You can also contact us at any time.
