Where does the SFPL obtain data from in connection with its work with social media providers?

In working with social networking providers, the SFPL obtains personal data in part directly from users of its website and in part from user profiles on these sites.

  • To the extent that the SFPL obtains data directly from you, the provision of personal data is completely voluntary, and failure to provide such data has no effect on you.

You may use the website and the SFPL’s social media profiles without providing any personal data and remain anonymous at all times (where you are merely browsing the website or any of the SFPL’s profiles on these sites without interacting with the plugins or these profiles).

  • To the extent that the SFPL obtains your data as a user from your social media profiles in connection with your interaction with the plugins, disclosure shall be made of data about you in the form of anonymous statistical summaries prepared by the social networking providers (Facebook, Twitter, Google).
  • To the extent that the SFPL obtains data from your social media profiles in connection with your interaction with the SFPL’s profile located on those sites, disclosure shall be made of any data posted to your profile that is marked as “Public” or that you explicitly make available to the SFPL through your profile by marking your privacy settings so that we can review it. As with plug-ins, when you interact with the SFPL’s social networking profiles, the SFPL may also obtain anonymous statistical summaries from the social networking providers (Facebook, Twitter, Google) which are also prepared with your data included.

How and why does the SFPL use data in connection with its work with social media providers?

The SFPL processes your data in order to create analyses, statistics and summaries that shall serve to improve the effectiveness of our actions and build a development strategy – in the vast majority of cases such statistics are created on the basis of non-personal data or anonymised data. In some cases, personal data collected through the Cookies may be used. Should personal data be used for this purpose, their processing shall be carried out on the basis of the need to execute the SFPL’s legitimate interest in the form of carrying out analytical and statistical activities aimed at the development of the SFPL, and therefore on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR (until the above purpose is achieved or until an effective objection is raised to the processing of the data depending on which event occurs first).

Personal data disclosed by you as part of your social media profiles shall also be processed in order to share information about the SFPL and its functioning and initiatives undertaken as well as to inform about the SFPL’s activities, for the purpose of realising the SFPL’s legitimate interests, and therefore on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (until an effective objection to their processing is raised or until the data are removed from the profile depending on which event occurs first).

In connection with the operation of social networks, there may be profiling of the user, i.e., creation of a profile containing information about the interests or certain characteristics of the user. Certain features provided by social media providers allow the compilation of personal data about users and the creation of statistics and summaries from that information that the SFPL may later use to tailor the content it shares with users. At the same time, we inform you that decisions based on the created profiles shall not be made in an automated manner.

Who can access the data?

Data collected by the SFPL in connection with social networking plugins and through social media profiles shall also be processed by the providers of these social networking sites as joint data controllers for the purposes and in the manner specified in their own privacy policies. These data may be processed outside the European Economic Area (EEA), and the social networking providers shall ensure that your privacy is respected when data shall be processed outside the EEA. Additional privacy information can be found in the privacy policies of the providers.

In addition, the personal data you disclose as public on social networking sites may be available to an unrestricted audience, including audiences in countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA). As we have no control over the content you post on social media, we urge you to share content in a reasonable fashion.
