Version as of 7 October 2024
Redeker Sellner Dahs Partnerschaft von Rechtsanwältinnen und Rechtsanwälten mbB (hereinafter “Redeker”, “we”) intends to take photos of you at today's event and to publish them on our social media pages in particular. We therefore inform you in accordance with Art. 13 and 14 of the General Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter “GDPR”) about the manner and purposes of the processing of your personal data and about your rights as a data subject.
The controller for the processing of your personal data described under III. in accordance with Art. 4 No. 7 GDPR is Redeker Sellner Dahs Partnerschaft von Rechtsanwältinnen und Rechtsanwälten mbB, Willy‑Brandt‑Allee 11, 53113 Bonn, Tel.: +49 228 72625‑0.
You can contact our data protection officer by e‑mail at datenschutz@redeker.de or by post at the above address with the addition “To the data protection officer”.
We take photos of you and publish them on our Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn pages and on the websites of career platforms (such as TalentRocket). We also publish the photos as part of our newsletter and our in‑house magazine “Re[a]deker Intern”.
When the photos are published, your likeness, demeanour and appearance as well as the metadata of the photo (in particular the time and place of the photo) are processed. As a result of the photo, it may also be possible to draw conclusions about your ethnic origin (e. g. with regard to your skin colour), your religious or ideological beliefs (e. g. due to religious symbols that you are visibly wearing in the photo) and your health (e. g. glasses).
The purpose of taking and publishing photos is to document our events and their content and to present them and our law firm to (potential) clients, young legal talent and other interested parties.
The legal basis for the production and publication of your photos is the consent you have given in conjunction with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Otherwise, for example, if you are only shown in a photo from behind or as a speaker on the podium, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the documentation and presentation of the event.
As a result of the publication of the photos on our pages on Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn, we transmit these photos to Meta Platforms Ireland Limited as the provider of Facebook and Instagram and to LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company as the provider of LinkedIn. The extent to which these providers process your personal data can be found in the providers' privacy policies. These are available under the following links: Facebook/Meta Privacy Policy, Instagram Privacy Policy, LinkedIn Privacy Policy. As a result of publication in the above‑mentioned social networks, your personal data may also be processed outside the European Economic Area. According to Meta Platforms Ireland Limited and LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, the legality of such a transfer is ensured by so‑called EU standard contractual clauses and adequacy decisions of the European Commission. As a result of the publication of the photos on career platform websites, we transmit the photos of you to the providers of these career platforms. In general, it should be noted that photos posted on the Internet are accessible worldwide and can be indexed and found by search engines (e. g. Google).
Furthermore, your photos will be disclosed to recipients of the newsletter in the course of sending the newsletter. The newsletter's target group is primarily young legal professionals, in particular students. Insofar as photos are also printed in our in‑house magazine, the recipients are current or former employees of our law firm.
The photos published in the above‑mentioned channels may be copied and further processed by third parties. As a result, it is possible that those photos may be permanently stored on the Internet without you being able to arrange for their permanent deletion. It should also be noted that photos published on our social media pages can be accessed until the respective post or the entire page is deleted.
If you provide us with your personal data, there is no legal or contractual obligation to do so. In particular, you can refuse to give your consent without giving reasons and do not have to fear any disadvantages as a result of your refusal.
According to Art. 15 GDPR, you have the right of access, according to Art. 16 GDPR the right to rectification, according to Art. 17 GDPR the right to erasure and according to Art. 20 GDPR the right to data portability as well as according to Art. 18 GDPR the right to restriction of processing. If we process photos of you on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR), you can object to the processing in accordance with Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR by contacting us or the data protection officer (e. g. by e‑mail, contact details above under I. and II.). The cases in which we base the processing on our legitimate interest can be found in this privacy policy. If you exercise your right to object, we ask you to explain to us the reasons why we should not process your personal data as we have done. In the event of your objection, we will examine the situation and either discontinue or adapt the data processing or point out to you our compelling legitimate grounds on the basis of which we will continue the processing.
Furthermore, in accordance with Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR, you have the right to revoke your consent at any time without giving reasons with effect for the future. A revocation can be made by contacting us or the data protection officer (e. g. by e‑mail, contact details above under I. and II.).
If you withdraw your consent, the photos in which you are recognisable will no longer be processed in the future for the purposes stated under III. With regard to publication in social media and on websites, we will immediately delete such photos that relate exclusively or essentially only to you. If a photo shows you together with other people (e. g. in the form of a group photo), the photo will not necessarily be deleted. Rather, it is sufficient if we make you unrecognisable (e. g. by pixelating you) so that you can no longer be identified. As long as you do not revoke your consent, it will remain in place for an unlimited period of time. Please note that your revocation does not affect the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of your consent up to the time of your revocation.
You also have the right to complain to a data protection supervisory authority about the processing of your personal data.
