Social Plugins
We use so-called social plugins of various social networks in our online offer, these are described individually in this section.
When using the plugins, your internet browser establishes a direct connection to the servers of the respective social network. This provides the respective provider with the information that your internet browser has accessed the corresponding page of our online offer, even if you do not have a user account with the provider or are not currently logged in to it. Log files (including the IP address) are transmitted by your Internet browser directly to a server of the respective provider and may be stored there. The provider or its server may be located outside the UAE (e.g., in the USA).
The plugins represent independent extensions of the social network providers. We therefore have no influence on the scope of the data collected and stored by the providers of the social networks via the plugins.
For the purpose and scope of the collection, further processing and use of the data by the social network, as well as your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy, please refer to the privacy policy of the respective social network.
If you do not want the providers of the social networks to receive and possibly store or further use data about this online offer, you should not use the respective plugins.
Communication tools on social media platforms
We use communication tools on our pages on social media platforms (e.g., Twitter) to process messages that you send to us via the social media platform and to be able to offer you support.
If you send us a message via a social media platform, the message (and possibly other data we receive from the social media platform provider with the message, such as your name and file attachments) will be processed by us to process your request. In addition, we may analyze the data in aggregated and anonymized form to better understand the use of our social media platforms.
The personal data you provide to us may be transferred to the SilberArrows legal entity responsible for the inquiry (for example, if your inquiry relates to a product that another SilberArrows legal entity distributes). The legal basis for this type of processing results from our legitimate interests or an existing contractual relationship, if any. Your data will be deleted no later than 180 days after receipt of your message.
External links
Our online offer may contain links to websites of third parties, providers not affiliated with us. After clicking on the link, we no longer have any influence on the collection, processing and use of any personal data transmitted to the third party when the link is clicked on (such as the IP address or the URL of the page on which the link is located), as the behavior of third parties is naturally beyond our control. We assume no responsibility for the processing of such personal data by third parties.
Security
Our employees and the service companies contracted by us are obliged to maintain confidentiality and to comply with the provisions of the applicable data protection laws.
We take all necessary technical and organizational measures to ensure an adequate level of protection and to protect your data managed by us in particular against the risks of accidental or unlawful destruction, manipulation, loss, alteration or unauthorized disclosure or access.
