Information on the processing of personal data related to the implementation of activities on the official profiles of AROMA GLOBAL 3 d.o.o. on social networks (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok)

The Company manages the following social media sites:

The Company processes personal data on social media sites to inform customers about offers, products, and/or other topics and news, and to communicate with social media visitors about these topics, as well as to respond to relevant inquiries about praise, criticism and other queries.

In cases where we can influence and determine the conditions of personal data processing, we strive, within the possibilities provided by the social network operator, to ensure that the processing of personal data is carried out in accordance with the relevant legal regulations. Therefore, in cases where the social networking platform provider has enabled us to do so, we ensure that our social networking sites respect the protection of personal data. 

The information you have added to our social media sites such as comments, videos, pictures, likes, etc. is published through the social media platform, and will never be processed or used for any other purpose. However, we reserve the right to deletion if a particular post or comment violates the rules of permitted content, e.g. it contributes to a violation of the law, contains hate messages, vulgar comments (e.g. with sexual content), or attachments (e.g. images or videos) that violate copyright, intellectual property rights, the Company's ethical principles, and/or the Company's morals. 

We do not manage or store all social media functionality, so, for example, any posts you post on our social network page will remain on the timeline indefinitely until you remove them, or if they are removed due to profile updates or violations of allowed content policies.

We have no influence over the deletion of your data by the social network operator itself.


Advertising

The Company also uses advertising services through social networks. The Company has the ability to determine the parameters on the basis of which a specific ad will be displayed to a specific target group. In doing so, as with the use of analytics, the Company does not have access to the personal data that is processed, but is solely the operator of the social network platform.

Accordingly, when advertising, we choose to whom the ad will be shown based on demographic, interest and other parameters that allow us to choose exactly the group of people we need.
