It is possible that we obtain on a very rare occasion information on the profiles of Facebook users, who decide to like our corporate profile page and/or use any applications available on that page. In this case, our team is able to adapt the corporate profile page to provide enhanced and better content for our visitors, but also better functionality to the relevant users via our Facebook corporate profile page.

We are willing to constantly improve the provided content for the visitors of our corporate profile page. Therefore, we may also utilize information collected during visits to our page to perform demographic and geographic analyses. This may potentially result in providing more specific advertisements based on users’ interests without being able to identify, nor obtain direct knowledge of their identities.

The aforementioned reports contain only statistical, or also known as aggregated data. SHIPSTA would not be in the position to establish a link to any individual visitor or user. The data processing activity ensuring the production of different reports for Facebook Audience Insights is solely a responsibility of Facebook, without SHIPSTA having any access to the data used to produce the reports whatsoever.

Facebook Pixel
SHIPSTA uses the Facebook Pixel, which is part of the Facebook Business Tools. It is a snippet of JavaScript code that allows us to track the visitor activity on our website. Only after obtaining your prior consent, we will use Facebook’s “visitor action pixels” and “tracking pixels”. The Facebook Pixel functions by loading a small library of functions which we, as a website operator, can use whenever a site visitor takes an action on our website that we would be interested in tracking.

When using Facebook Pixel, we at SHIPSTA collect and process only analytics data. Normally, such data does not allow identifying a single visitor, but in some very rare cases, a natural person can be recognized from it, with or without combination/link with other data. We will consider analytics data as a personal data in such situations and under the applicable laws. In addition, analytics data is collected and transmitted to Facebook.

The following types of analytics data may be collected and processed through Facebook Pixel when you are visiting and interacting with our website:

  • Information regarding standard/optional events such as buttons clicked by visitors, labels of those buttons and any pages visited as a result of the button clicks;
  • Pixel-specific data, which includes pixel ID and the cookie itself;
  • Optional values as conversion value, page type.

We may process your personal data for the following :

In such cases the applicable legal basis is Art. 6 (1) f) of the GDPR.

6.5.1.5 Personal data sharing or disclosure

We only and exclusively disclose personal data for lead generation to our partner HubSpot GmbH.

Such reports about the interaction between visitors/users of our corporate profile page on Facebook, will allow us to process data such as : age, gender, location (city and country), audience measurement, number of likes, visits. This data will be shared by Facebook with us.

6.5.1.6 Storage duration

The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected.

LinkedIn Page Analytics

LinkedIn is the primary data controller in accordance with GDPR for the processing of LinkedIn Page Analytics data. LinkedIn as well assumes the fulfilment of obligations under the GDPR, related to processing of personal data for LinkedIn Page Analytics (including Art. 12 and Art. 13 of the GDPR, Art. 15 to 22 of the GDPR and Art. 32 to 34 of the GDPR). LinkedIn is the solely responsible entity for the processing of any personal data in connection with Page Audience Insights that are not covered by the existing Page Audience Insights Addendum.

We strongly recommend you addressing any requests for information and/or data privacy rights to LinkedIn directly, this based on the existing agreements with LinkedIn, and specifically on the agreement on joint responsibility of personal data. Being the operator and the provider of the social network platform, LinkedIn is in the exact position to possess, access and provide you directly with the information related to the processing of your personal data. Nonetheless, we at SHIPSTA also are ready to offer you assistance in that regard, as well as fulfilling our obligations as a data controller at any time.

6.5.3.3 How SHIPSTA uses your personal data in this specific case of joint controllership

LinkedIn Page Analytics and SHIPSTA’s LinkedIn corporate profile page

SHIPSTA wishes to engage with all stakeholders through every meaningful way of communication. In such a case, we would like to interact with users and visitors of LinkedIn’s social media platform in the scope of managing our external communication campaigns and for lead generation through our website/direct marketing.
We may process your personal data for the following :
– User analysis for lead generation in the scope of direct marketing ;
– Information is used for evaluating the performance of marketing and advertisements;
– Trend analysis;
– Sharing and/or recommending our content (Direct messages and communication, interaction with our content, information about SHIPSTA you have added to your profile);
– Job applications.

SHIPSTA also uses the services of LinkedIn to obtain analytics and statistics reports about the performance of our corporate profile page in terms of visits and interactions between the page, our shared content on it and visitors/users of the social network platform. This information allows us at SHIPSTA to manage and adapt our external communication campaigns and lead generation in a more focused and efficient way.

We are willing to constantly improve the provided content for the visitors of our corporate profile page. Therefore, we may also utilize information collected during visits to our page to perform demographic and geographic analyses. This may potentially result in providing more specific advertisements based on users’ interests without being able to identify, nor obtain direct knowledge of their identities.

The aforementioned reports contain only statistical, or also known as aggregated data. SHIPSTA would not be in the position to establish a link to any individual visitor or user. The data processing activity ensuring the production of different reports for LinkedIn Page Analytics is solely a responsibility of LinkedIn, without SHIPSTA having any access to the data used to produce the reports whatsoever.

SHIPSTA may also process information in relation to a job application you wish to submit to us.
In such a case, SHIPSTA processes any information you would submit to us, but generally this information is within the scope of your job application processing and in the scope of our recruitment management activities.
The processed data could potentially be, but would not be limited to : e.g. : CV, Cover letter, any educational credentials, a video and/or audio presentation done by you, as an applicant and delivered to us by LinkedIn as a service, your full identity and any information, relevant to your professional experience, language practices, interests, additional qualification, diplomas, secondary and university education.

6.5.3.4 Legal basis for data processing

In the event of communication over the social networks during external communication campaigns, we process personal data when it is necessary to safeguard SHIPSTA’s legitimate interest or that of a third party, but only in a case if your interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms do not outweigh the aforementioned ones. In such cases the applicable legal basis is Art. 6 (1) f) of the GDPR.

In the event of a job application from you and having submitted the relevant documentation to our Human Resources department, this application will be as a response to a job offer SHIPSTA submitted on LinkedIn, and within the scope of our recruitment management, thus providing the legal basis under Art. 6 (1) b) of the GDPR.

In a case where the data could potentially be required once the application process has been completed, i.e. for internal litigation purposes, the processed personal data may be necessary to maintain the legitimate interests of SHIPSTA in accordance with Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR, specifically for the assertion and/or defense of our claims and our rights.

6.5.3.5 Personal data sharing or disclosure

We only and exclusively disclose personal data for lead generation to our partner HubSpot GmbH.
In such a case, we may instruct LinkedIn to process this data in order to prepare reports on our behalf regarding the impact of our ad campaigns and to generate analytics and insights about the interactions of our corporate profile page on LinkedIn with its visitors and/or users.
Such reports about the interaction between visitors of our corporate profile page on LinkedIn, or users of LinkedIn, will allow us to process data such as : age, gender, location (city and country), audience measurement, number of likes, visits. This data will be shared by LinkedIn with us in the form of an anonymized report but will be processed by LinkedIn for the production of such a report.

6.5.3.6 Storage duration

The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected.
The reports provided by LinkedIn contain completely anonymized data and LinkedIn defines as a data controller the storage duration for the data used to produce the analytics reports.

6.5.3.7 International data transfers to the USA

SHIPSTA does not transfer data during the process of operating our corporate profile page on LinkedIn.
However, it is possible that personal data is collected, processed and stored by LinkedIn after that you visited our LinkedIn corporate profile page. Currently, LinkedIn ensures the level of data protection of any international data transfer by using the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses.

6.6 An overview of the data processing carried out by the social media network providers

SHIPSTA has no influence over the collected and processed personal data concerning you by the social media network platforms. We at SHIPSTA are not aware of the full extent of the data collection, the purposes of the processing or the storage periods, but we do everything in our power to provide you with the relevant information which might help you understand how the social media platforms process your personal data.

We at SHIPSTA do our best, for example by configuring the settings of the different cookies and similar technologies, to ensure compliance with the data protection regulations. However, we only have extremely limited influence on the data processing by the social media platforms providers.

    (6) Your personal data has been collected in relation to services offered by information society services pursuant to Art. 8 (1) of the GDPR.

    (b) Transfer of personal data to third parties

    If SHIPSTA has made your personal data public and is required to delete it under Art. 17 (1) of the GDPR, we will take appropriate measures, including technical measures, taking into account the available technology and the implementation costs, to inform the third parties who process the personal data, that you have requested the deletion of all links to the same as well as any copies thereof.

    If you have asserted the right to have your data deleted, SHIPSTA is obliged to notify all recipients to whom your personal data has been disclosed of the same, unless this proves to be impossible or involves disproportionate effort to be accomplished.

    (c) Exceptions

    The right to erasure does not apply insofar as the processing is necessary:

    (1) to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information;
    (2) for the performance of a legal obligation which makes such processing mandatory under the law of the Union or of the Luxembourgish law to which SHIPSTA is subject, or for the performance of a task in the public interest, or in the exercise of official authority conferred upon SHIPSTA;
    (3) for reasons of public interest in the field of public health in accordance with Art. 9 (2) h) and i), as well as Art. 9 (3) of the GDPR;
    (4) for archival purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes in accordance with Art. 89 (1) of the GDPR, to the extent that the right referred to in Section a) of 15.4 of the current Privacy Policy is likely to render impossible or seriously inhibit the ability to achieve said purposes; or
    (5) to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims.

    15.5 The right to data portability

    You have the right to obtain a copy of the personal data we have on file about you in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.

    Moreover, you have the right to transmit this data to another data controller without any obstruction from SHIPSTA if:

    (1) the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) a) or Art. 9 (2) a) of the GDPR, or based on a contract in accordance with Art. 6 (1) b) of the GDPR and
    (2) the processing is carried out using automated methods.
    In exercising this right, you also have the right to have us transfer the personal data we have on file about you directly to another party, if this is technically feasible.

    Please, take into consideration that such action must not affect the freedoms and rights of other persons.

    The right to data portability does not apply to the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority conferred on us.

    15.6 Right of objection

    You have the right, for reasons arising from your specific situation to object to the processing of personal data concerning you at any time, which is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) f) of the GDPR; the same applies to profiling based on these provisions.
    SHIPSTA will no longer process the personal data relating to you unless we can prove a compelling legitimate reason for the same, which outweighs your interests, rights, and freedoms, or unless the processing serves to assert, exercise, or defend our legal claims.

    If the personal data concerning you, is being processed for direct marketing purposes/lead generation, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of the personal data for the purpose of such marketing; this also applies to profiling, insofar as it is associated with direct marketing.

    If you object to the processing that is for direct marketing purposes, the personal data will no longer be processed for these purposes.

    15.7 Right related to automated decision in individual cases, including profiling

    You have the right not to be subject to a decision based exclusively on automated processing – including profiling – that has legal effect against you or significantly impairs you in a similar manner.

    This shall not apply if the processing activity:
    (1) is necessary for us to establish or fulfill a contract between you and SHIPSTA;
    (2) is authorized by Union or by the Luxembourgish law to which we are subject, provided said law also sets forth suitable measures for safeguarding your rights, and freedoms, and legitimate interests; or
    (3) is based on your explicit consent.
    However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Art. 9 (1) of the GDPR, unless Art. 9 (2) a) or g) of the GDPR apply, and appropriate measures have been taken to protect your rights and freedoms, as well as your legitimate interests.

    In the cases referred to in (1) and (3) of 15 of the current Privacy Policy, SHIPSTA shall take reasonable and proportionate measures to safeguard your rights, freedoms, and legitimate interests, including, at a minimum, the right to obtain the intervention of a person to state our position and to examine the decision taken during the processing activity.

    15.8 Right to withdraw your consent

    You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. Please, follow the unsubscribe link available or the instructions regarding the processing activity.

    Please, note that after withdrawing your consent, you will no longer benefit from the service.

     

    15.9 Right to file a complaint with a supervisory authority

    You have the right of appeal to a supervisory authority (a full list can be found following this link : https://edpb.europa.eu/about-edpb/about-edpb/members_en), in particular in the Member State where you reside, work or where the infringement is suspected to be committed, if you believe that the processing of personal data that concerns you is in contravention of the GDPR.
