INTRODUCTION AND TERMS

  1. Introduction

The Majuma Ltd. operates an Instagram management service called “SOCIALMONK”, which can be accessed on the Internet at the URL www.socialmonk.net. With SOCIALMONK, users can subscribe to an Instagram manager that promotes the reach of an Instagram profile by generating followers and likes. By operating our website www.socialmonk.net (hereinafter referred to as “Website”) and our Instagram management service (hereinafter referred to as “SOCIALMONK”), we process personal data. The personal data will be treated confidentially by us and processed in accordance with the applicable laws – in particular the German Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO) and the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG-neu). With our data protection regulations we want to inform you which personal data we collect from you, for which purposes and on which legal basis we use it and, if applicable, to whom we disclose it. In addition, we will explain what rights you have to protect and enforce your data privacy.

 

  1. Terms

Our privacy policy contains technical terms that are in the DSGVO and the BDSG-neu. For your better understanding we want to explain these terms in simple words in advance:

2.1 Personal data

“Personal data” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable individual (Art. 4 No. 1 GDPR). Information of an identified person can be e.g. the name or the e-mail address. However, personal data also includes data for which the identity is not immediately apparent, but which can be determined by combining one’s own information or that of others and thus finding out who the data subject is. A person becomes identifiable, for example, by providing his or her address or bank details, date of birth or user name, IP addresses and/or location data. Relevant here is all information that in any way allows a conclusion to be drawn about a person. 

2.2 Processing

A “processing” is understood by Art. 4 No. 2 GDPR to mean any operation related to personal data. This applies in particular to the collection, recording, organization, ordering, storage, adaptation or modification, reading, querying, use, disclosure, transmission, dissemination or any other form of provision, comparison or linking, restriction, deletion or destruction of personal data.

PROCESSING FRAME

  1. Processing framework: Website and Socialmonk service

By operating our website and our Instagram management service SOCIALMONK, we process the personal data of you listed in detail below in section 5-15. We only process data from you that you actively provide (e.g. by filling out forms, submitting your Instagram access data) or that you automatically provide when using our offer.

Your data will be processed exclusively by us and will not be sold, lent or passed on to third parties. If we use the help of external service providers to process your personal data, this is done within the framework of so-called commissioned processing, in which we as the client are authorized to issue instructions to our contractors. To operate our website, we use an external service provider for hosting. We host our website at the external provider ALL-INKL (ALL-INKL.COM – Neue Medien Münnich, Hauptstraße 68, D-02742 Friedersdorf, www.all-inkl.com) in the data center location Dresden. If further external service providers are used for individual processing operations listed in sections 5-15, they will be named there.

Data transfer to third countries does not take place and is not planned. We will inform about exceptions to this principle in the processing operations presented below.

The Account Manager does not create or publish any content on your Instagram profile (including, without limitation, any posts, stories, or comments). In addition, an account manager will not read or send Instagram messages. Our services are limited to the Instagram management services described. We have no influence on and no knowledge of what additional data is processed by Instagram as part of our activity on their Instagram account.

11.1 Description of the processing

We send out a newsletter at irregular intervals. With the newsletter we inform you about our services. You will only receive our newsletter if you actively subscribe to our mailing list. You can subscribe to it by filling out and submitting a newsletter subscription form on our website. For the newsletter registration only the specification of your e-mail address is required. 

For the execution and verification of newsletter registrations, we use the so-called double opt-in procedure. A registration takes place in several steps. First, sign up for the newsletter on our website. You will then receive an email from us at the email address you provided. With this e-mail, we ask you to confirm that you have indeed subscribed to the newsletter and wish to receive it. A confirmation takes place by clicking on a confirmation link in the e-mail. Only after a successful confirmation we will add you to our newsletter distribution list and send you future emails. As part of the double opt-in process, we store the date, time and your IP addresses both during registration and confirmation.

If you conclude a contract for SOCIALMONK services on our website, in which you also provide your e-mail address, this may subsequently be used by us to send a so-called existing customer newsletter. In such a case, only direct advertising for our own similar goods or services will be sent via the newsletter.

The processing takes place in order to offer the newsletter function and to be able to send newsletter emails to subscribers, as well as existing customers.

Our legitimate interest lies in the purpose named in section 11.2. 

The processing is carried out for our existing customer newsletter on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO to safeguard the overriding interests of the controller. Our legitimate interest lies in direct advertising to existing customers. This is within the framework observed by us of § 7 para. 3 UWG permissible.

We process your personal data for the duration of your newsletter subscription. You can stop receiving our newsletter at any time by revoking your consent. You can also object to the use of your e-mail address for sending our newsletter to existing customers at any time. A simple declaration (by e-mail to info@socialmonk.net) is sufficient for this purpose. You can also unsubscribe by clicking the unsubscribe link in the footer of your newsletter. With the revocation of your consent, you will no longer be sent newsletters and your personal data will be removed from our active distribution list.

17.7 Complaint (Art. 77 GDPR)

If you believe that the processing of personal data concerning you violates the GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. You may exercise this right by contacting a supervisory authority in the EU Member State of your residence, workplace or the place of the alleged infringement. 

17.8 Prohibition of automated decisions/profiling (Art. 22 GDPR)

Decisions that have legal consequences for you or significantly affect you must not be based solely on automated processing of personal data – including profiling. We inform you that we do not use automated decision making including profiling with regard to your personal data.

17.9 Objection (Art. 21 GDPR)

If we collect personal data from you on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO (for the protection of overriding legitimate interests), you have the right to object to this under the conditions listed in Art. 21 DSGVO. However, this only applies if there are reasons arising from your particular situation. After an objection, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms. We also do not have to stop processing if it serves the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims. In any case – also independent of a specific situation – you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing at any time.
