4. Social media
Our website features integrated plug-ins from the social media LinkedIn and YouTube. When you visit any of our social media pages or our website with integrated plug-ins, the social media providers will collect and process personal data by means of cookies, provided you have consented to the use of cookies. Such collection and processing of personal data will take place whether you have a social media profile or not.
If you access our website, which features integrated social media plug-ins, your browser will contact the server of that social medium, load the visual presentation of the plug-in and present the content to you. While this is happening, the social media provider will receive information about your use of the website, as well as additional personal data, such as your IP address. Burnblock will receive anonymous demographic and geographic statistics from the social media provider about visitors to our website and our social media pages.
Burnblock is joint data controller together with the social media providers for the processing of personal data in connection with visits to our social media pages and our website. This means, i.a., that you can contact both Burnblock and the social media provider if you wish to exercise your rights under the GDPR. LinkedIn and YouTube have primary responsibility for ensuring compliance with the GDPR and for responding to requests to exercise data subjects’ rights. If you have a social media profile, you can exercise your rights through your account settings.
We have no influence on the amount of personal data that the social media provider collects via the active plug-ins. For details, please refer to the relevant privacy policy:
