Online presence in social media

UNITY OPERATIONS AG maintains online presences within social networks and platforms in order to communicate with the customers, interested parties and users active there and to inform them about our services.

We would like to point out that user data may be processed outside the European Union. This may make it more difficult to enforce users' rights. US providers that are certified under the Privacy Framework undertake to comply with EU data protection standards.

User data may be processed for market research and advertising purposes. For example, user profiles can be created from user behavior and the resulting interests of users. These profiles can be used, for example, to publish advertisements inside and outside social media platforms that presumably reflect the interests of users. For this purpose, cookies are stored on the users' end devices, in which the usage behavior and the presumed interests of the users are stored. Data can also be stored independently of the end devices used, especially if the users maintain profiles in the respective networks and are logged in to them.

The processing of users' personal data is based on our legitimate interests in effective user information and communication with users in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR. GDPR. If the users are asked by the respective providers of the platforms for consent to the data processing described above, the legal basis of the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a., Art. 7 GDPR.

For a detailed description of the respective processing and the possibilities of objection (opt-out), we refer to the following linked information from the providers.

Also in the case of requests for information and the assertion of user rights, we would like to point out that these can be asserted most effectively with the providers. Only the providers have access to the user's data and can take appropriate measures and provide information directly. If you still need help, you can contact us.

We use widgets from the provider Elfsight. The service is provided by Elfsight, LLC, Armenia. Data may be transferred to the third country Armenia.  There is no adequacy decision by the EU Commission for Armenia in accordance with Art. 45 GDPR. The transfer therefore takes place on the basis of standard contractual clauses (SCCs) pursuant to Art. 46 para. 2 lit. c GDPR, which have been approved by the European Commission. These clauses oblige Elfsight to maintain an adequate level of data protection outside the EU. You can request a copy of the standard contractual clauses used directly from us or they are available at Implementing decision - 2021/914 - EN - EUR-Lex

This data cannot be used by Elfsight to identify you personally. On this website, the social media stream of Instagram and LinkedIn is integrated in compliance with data protection regulations using a widget from Elfsight.com. Elfsight uses strictly necessary cookies to ensure the basic functionality of the widget. The processing is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Consent can be revoked at any time via the cookie settings. Further information on data processing by Elfsight can be found in their privacy policy: https://elfsight.com/privacy-policy/.

In the local default configuration, the plugin does not process any personal data of visitors and does not transfer any data to third parties. However, if the optional cloud optimization or the Content Delivery Network (CDN) of EWWW is activated, image data (including possible embedded metadata or EXIF data) and IP addresses may be transferred to servers in the USA.

In this case, processing is based on:
Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest in a fast and optimized presentation of the website), or
Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR (consent), if a CDN or external image optimization is integrated and prior consent is obtained via a cookie consent tool.
