14. Use of reCAPTCHA 

In order to protect input forms at this website we use the service “re-CAPTCHA” of the company Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”).  This service enables the distinction between human input or improper input created through automated mechanical processing.

According to our knowledge the following data is transferred to Google: referrer-URL, IP-address, user action, information about the operating system, browser and length of stay, cookies, display instructions and scripts, input behavior of user as well as movements of the mouse in the area of the “re-CAPTCHA”-checkbox.

Google uses the so gained information among other things to digitalize books and other print products as well as to optimize services such as Google Street View and Google Maps (e.g. the recognition of street numbers or street names). 

The IP-address provided by your browser in the context of “re-CAPTCHA” will not be merged with other Google data other than if you are logged-in to your Google-account while using the “re-CAPTCHA”-Plugin. In order to prevent the transmission and storage of data about your behavior on our website by Google, you need to log-out from Google before you visit our website or use the “re-CAPTCHA”-plugin. 

The “reCAPTCHA” service is used according to the Google terms of use:  https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/

18. Use of Facebook

(1)    EJOT operates a so-called fan page within the social network "Facebook" of Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbor, Dublin 2, Ireland. Since the operation of the fan page is a joint responsibility (Art. 26 GDPR) between Facebook Ireland Ltd. and EJOT, a corresponding agreement has been concluded with Facebook Ireland Ltd., which you can view under the following link:
https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/page_controller_addendum

(2)    If you use Facebook products such as the EJOT Facebook fan page, Facebook collects and uses the information described in its “Data Policy” under “What kinds of information do we collect?”.

You can find information about the cookies used by Facebook in the Facebook cookie policy: https://www.facebook.com/policies/cookies/

(3)    For fan pages, Facebook provides the fan page operators with statistics and insights, which help to obtain knowledge about the types of actions that people undertake on their pages (“page insights”).

(4)    EJOT has no influence on whether these statistics and insights are collected by Facebook. According to Facebook, page insights are designed to show important trends without revealing any details about you that could identify you. According to Facebook, it is possible for fan page operators to possibly assign your profile picture to your “Like” information for the fan page if you mark the fan page with “Like” and set your “Like” information for pages to “public”.

(5)    Information used for page insights are, for example:

• •    go to a page, post or video from a page
• •    subscribe or unsubscribe to a page
• •    mark a page or a post with "Like" or "Dislike"
• •    recommend a page in a post or comment
• •    comment on, share or respond to a page post (including the type of reaction)
• •    hide a page post or report it as spam
• •    click on a link that leads to the page from another page on Facebook or from a website outside of Facebook
• •    move the mouse over the name or profile picture of a page to see a preview of the page content
• •    click on the website, phone number, "plan routes" button or any other button on a page
• •    Information as to whether you are logged on to a computer or mobile device while you visit a page or interact with it or its content

You can find a detailed overview here:
https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/information_about_page_insights_data

(6)    The purpose of operating the EJOT Facebook fan page is to provide a wide range of information from EJOT to the users of the fan page as well as the exchange with and between users. Both the operation of the Facebook fan page and the processing of the data are based on the legitimate interest of EJOT from Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. The legitimate interest arises from marketing and optimization purposes.

(7)    Facebook Ireland Ltd. and EJOT have signed an agreement that regulates their respective obligations under the GDPR:
https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/page_controller_addendum

(8)    Facebook Ireland Ltd. and EJOT have agreed that Facebook is primarily responsible for providing you with information about the joint processing and for enabling you to exercise your rights under the GDPR. According to the GDPR you have the right to information (Art. 15 GDPR), correction (Art. 16 GDPR), portability (Art. 20 GDPR) and deletion (Art. 17 GDPR) of your data as well as to object to the processing of your data (Art. 21 GDPR) and to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR). You can find out more about these rights in your Facebook settings.

(9)    Facebook Ireland Ltd. and EJOT have agreed that the Irish Data Protection Commission will be the primary authority in overseeing the processing under joint responsibility. You have the right to lodge a complaint with the Irish Data Protection Commission (see www.dataprotection.ie) or with your local supervisory authority.

19. Use of Instagram 

(1)    EJOT Holding GmbH & Co. KG and EJOT Baubefestigungen GmbH (in the following only for “19. Use of Instagram” also individually “EJOT”) operate each, but always together with Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland, the operator of the social network Instagram, as the person responsible according to Art. 4 No. 7 GDPR, its own Instagram page under the following links:
•    EJOT Holding GmbH & Co. KG: https://www.instagram.com/ejot_karriere/
•    EJOT Baubefestigungen GmbH: https://www.instagram.com/ejot_construction/
EJOT and Facebook are therefore jointly responsible according to Art. 26 GDPR.

(2)    As the person responsible for the Instagram page, EJOT has made agreements with Facebook which, among other things, regulate the conditions for using the Instagram page. The Instagram terms of use and the other conditions and guidelines listed at the end are decisive:
https://help.instagram.com/581066165581870

(3)    Facebook describes which personal data is processed by Facebook, how, for what purposes and on what legal basis in its data policy (https://help.instagram.com/519522125107875?helpref=page_content), which applies to all Facebook products. There you will also find information about contact options for Facebook and the setting options for advertisements, cookies, etc.

(4)    Please check carefully which personal data you would like to provide EJOT via Instagram. Instagram belongs to the Facebook group of companies and shares the infrastructure, systems and technology with Facebook and other Facebook companies.

(5)    The processing of the information includes on the one hand to enable Facebook to improve its system of advertising that it distributes via its network. On the other hand, it enables EJOT, as the operator of the Instagram page, to receive statistics that Facebook creates on the basis of visits to the EJOT Instagram page (so-called page insights). This is summarized data that shows how users interact with the page. For example, this enables EJOT to gain knowledge of the profiles of the users in order to provide them with more relevant content and to be able to develop functions that could be of greater interest to them.

(6)    With the help of the page insights, EJOT can anonymously evaluate the reach, the page views, the length of time spent on video posts, the actions (likes, comments, sharing of posts) as well as age, gender and location (as stated by the users in their respective Instagram profiles). Settings can be made for the evaluation of the reach or corresponding filters can be set with regard to the selection of a period, the consideration of a certain contribution and demographic groups (e.g. female, 20-30 years old). If visitors use Facebook on several devices, the recording and evaluation can also take place across devices if the visitors are registered and logged in to their own profile.

(7)    The visitor statistics created are only transmitted to EJOT in anonymised form. EJOT has no access to the respective underlying data and can therefore not draw any conclusions about individuals. The data that are made available to EJOT are therefore anonymized, aggregated and abstracted.

(8)    Legal basis and legitimate interests
EJOT operates this Instagram page in order to present EJOT to Instagram users and other interested persons who visit the EJOT Instagram page, to provide them with a variety of information and to communicate with them. The processing of the users' personal data takes place on the basis of the legitimate interest in an optimized company presentation and for marketing and optimization purposes (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR).

(9)    Transfer of data
It is conceivable that some of the information collected will also be processed outside the European Union by Facebook Inc. based in the USA. Facebook Inc. is certified under the US-EU data protection agreement "Privacy Shield" and thus undertakes to comply with European data protection requirements:
https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000GnywAAC&status=Active
EJOT reserves the right to transfer data to the affiliated companies EJOT GmbH & Co. KG, Im Herrengarten 1, 57319 Bad Berleburg, Germany and EJOT Baubefestigungen GmbH, In der Stockwiese 35, 57334 Bad Laasphe, Germany or EJOT Holding GmbH & Co. KG, Im Herrengarten 1, 57319 Bad Berleburg, Germany. It will only be passed on to companies affiliated with EJOT if this is necessary for the type of information and only to the extent necessary.

(10)    Opposition options
Instagram users can use the settings for advertising preferences to influence the extent to which their user behavior may be recorded when visiting the EJOT Instagram page. The Facebook and Instagram settings offer further options:
•    under Facebook ad preferences
(https://www.facebook.com/login.php?next=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fads%2Fpreferences%2F%3Fentry_product%3Dad_settings_screen)
•    in the Instagram privacy & security area
(https://www.instagram.com/accounts/login/?next=/accounts/privacy_and_security/)
•    with the right of objection form
(https://www.facebook.com/help/contact/1994830130782319)

(11)    You can prevent the processing of information by means of the cookies used by Facebook by not allowing third-party cookies or cookies from Facebook in your own browser settings.

(12)    Nature of shared responsibility
The agreements with Facebook also on joint responsibility essentially mean that the user can request information (Art. 15 GDPR) and the other data subject rights (Art. 16 ff. GDPR) (see also under "20. Your rights") directly to Facebook. As the provider of the social network, only Facebook has direct access to the required information and can also take any necessary measures and provide information. EJOT supports if necessary.

20. Use of LinkedIn

(1)     EJOT Holding GmbH & Co KG and EJOT SE & Co. KG (hereinafter only for 22.

(2)     If you visit EJOT's LinkedIn company page, follow this page or interact with the page, LinkedIn will process personal data in order to provide EJOT with anonymised statistics and insights. This provides EJOT with findings on the types of actions people take on the EJOT page (so-called page insights). For this purpose, LinkedIn processes in particular such data that you have already provided to LinkedIn via the information in your profile, such as data on function, country, industry, seniority, company size and employment status. Furthermore, LinkedIn will process information on how you interact with EJOT's LinkedIn company page, for example if you are a follower of EJOT's LinkedIn company page. With the page insights, LinkedIn does not provide EJOT with any of your personal data. EJOT only has access to the summarised page insights. Moreover, it is not possible for EJOT to draw conclusions about individual members using the information from the page insights. LinkedIn and EJOT are joint controllers regarding this processing of personal data in the context of page insights. 

(3)    Purpose of the data processing of EJOT's LinkedIn page is to provide information about the company, the products and services of EJOT, combined with the possibility for users to interact with EJOT in a target-oriented way. The processing serves EJOT's legitimate interest in being able to share information and communicate with EJOT users, as well as to evaluate the types of actions taken on EJOT's LinkedIn company page and to improve the EJOT company page based on these findings. The legal base for this processing is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR.

(4)    EJOT has concluded a joint controller agreement with LinkedIn, which defines the allocation of data protection obligations between EJOT and LinkedIn. The agreement is available at https://legal.linkedin.com/pages-joint-controller-addendum. According to this, the following applies:

• LinkedIn and EJOT have agreed that LinkedIn is responsible for enabling you to exercise your rights under the GDPR. You can contact LinkedIn online via the following link (https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/ask/PPQ?lang=en) or via the contact data in the privacy policy.

In this case, EJOT will forward your request to LinkedIn.
• LinkedIn and EJOT have agreed that the Irish Data Protection Commission will be the lead supervisory authority overseeing the processing for page insights. You always have the right to lodge a complaint with the Irish Data Protection Commission (see www.dataprotection.ie) or any other supervisory authority.

(5)     Please note that in accordance with LinkedIn's privacy policy, personal data may also be processed by LinkedIn in the USA or other third countries. LinkedIn only transfers personal data to countries for which an adequacy decision has been issued by the European Commission in accordance with Art. 45 of the GDPR or on the basis of appropriate guarantees in accordance with Art. 46 of the GDPR.

(6)    EJOT uses the LinkedIn plug-in on its website. If the plug-in is stored on one of the pages of our website that you visit, your internet browser will download a depiction of the plug-in from LinkedIn's servers in the USA. For technical reasons, it is necessary that LinkedIn processes your IP address. Furthermore, date and time of your visit on our website will also be recorded.

(7)    If you are logged in to LinkedIn while visiting an EJOT website equipped with the plug-in, the information collected by the plug-in during your visit will be recognised by LinkedIn. LinkedIn may assign the collected information to your personal user account there. If, for example, you use the LinkedIn "Share" button, this information will be stored in your LinkedIn user account and may be published via the LinkedIn platform. If you wish to avoid this, you either have to log out of LinkedIn before visiting the EJOT website, adjust the respective settings in your LinkedIn user account or reject the corresponding cookie in the EJOT cookie settings.

(8)    The legal basis for the use of the plug-in is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can give your consent via the cookie bar. If you only agree to the essential cookies, no data will be processed via the plug-in.

(9)   LinkedIn provides further information on the collection and use of data as well as your rights and protection options in this regard in the privacy policy available at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy.
