Privacy Policy LEDVANCE Instagram
As of December 2020
Data protection has top priority for LEDVANCE. We know that careful handling of your personal information is important to you. Therefore, your data will be treated confidentially by us in strict compliance with the applicable data protection regulations.
In the following we explain which data we use on the Instagram presence, when and for what purpose. Instagram is an online photo and video sharing service, owned by Facebook.
Our concern is that you can understand how the services work and how we ensure the protection of your personal data, which is very important to us. We only use your personal data if we have your consent or legal permission.
We want to point out that there has been massive criticism of how Facebook works and its privacy practices. One of the biggest data protection problems is that, according to the prevailing opinion in the specialist literature, the NSA has access to Instagram and Facebook data through its programs such as PRISM and XKEYSCORE and that no deletion periods are provided for this data. At the same time, Facebook is one of the most important social media tools and we are dependent on working with Instagram in business life and try to make this as data protection compliant as possible.
