https://www.pinterest.de/wescocolorfulliving/ 

Data Processing by Social Networks
We maintain publicly accessible profiles on social networks. The specific social networks we use are listed below.
Social networks such as Facebook, X, etc., can generally analyse your user behaviour extensively when you visit their website or a website with integrated social media content (e.g., like buttons or advertising banners). By visiting our social media presences, numerous data processing operations relevant to data protection are triggered. In detail: If you are logged into your social media account and visit our social media presence, the operator of the social media portal can attribute this visit to your user account. Your personal data may also be collected if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective social media portal. This data collection occurs, for example, through cookies stored on your device or by capturing your IP address.
Using the data thus collected, social media operators can create user profiles that contain your preferences and interests. In this way, interest-based advertising can be displayed to you both within and outside the respective social media presence. If you have an account with the respective social network, interest-based advertising can be shown across all devices where you are logged in or have previously logged in. Please also note that we cannot trace all processing operations on social media portals. Depending on the provider, additional processing operations may be conducted by the operators of the social media portals. You can find details in the terms of use and privacy policies of the respective social media portals.

Legal Basis
Our social media profiles aim to ensure a comprehensive presence on the internet. This represents a legitimate interest as defined in Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The analysis processes initiated by the social networks may be based on different legal grounds, which must be specified by the operators of the social networks (e.g., consent as per Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR).

Controller and Assertion of Rights
When you visit one of our social media profiles (e.g., Facebook), we are jointly responsible with the operator of the social media platform for the data processing operations triggered during this visit. You can assert your rights (access, rectification, deletion, restriction of processing,
data portability, and complaint) against both us and the operator of the respective social media portal (e.g., Facebook). Please note that despite our joint responsibility with the social media portal operators, we do not have full control over the data processing operations of the social media portals. Our options are significantly determined by the corporate policy of the respective provider.

Storage Duration
The data we collect directly through our social media presence will be deleted from our systems as soon as you request deletion, withdraw your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage ceases. Stored cookies remain on your device until you delete them. Mandatory legal provisions – particularly retention periods – remain unaffected.
We have no influence on the storage duration of your data, which is stored by the operators of the social networks for their own purposes. For details, please refer directly to the operators of the social networks (e.g., in their privacy policy, see below).

Your Rights
You have the right to receive free information about the origin, recipients, and purpose of your stored personal data at any time. You also have the right to object, the right to data portability, and the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. Furthermore, you can request the rectification, blocking, deletion, and, under certain circumstances, the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
