Who we share your data with

This website does not give away any data to 3rd parties unless required by law or after consent to this has been given by you through your action or by being logged in on the respective platform (See the following Social Media Section).

Social Media

This website uses Share-Buttons to share content on different Social Media Platforms. These buttons are implemented with the data-privacy-friendly “Shariff” method. That means, that only when you click on the button or if you are logged in a social network for which a share button is implemented from the same device data is transmitted to the respective Social Network. Without clicking the button or being logged in simultaneously data will not be sent to these social networks.

Twitter Channel

Through the account with the address https://twitter.com/remotegazette the provider of this website enables you to find information about newly available workation stories, special offers and other information.

In order to do so, we use the technical platform for short message service provided by Twitter, Inc., 1355 Market Street, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA (Twitter). For persons living outside of the United States the Twitter International Company, One Cumberland Place, Fenian Street, Dublin 2 D02 AX07, Ireland, is responsible for data processing.

As stated by the European High Court on June 5th, 2018, the provider of Social-Media-Channels is also responsible for the data processing on such a channel according to Art. 26 of DSGVO.

Twitter is a multilingual publicly accessible microblogging service on which users can publish and distribute so-called tweets, i.e. short messages limited to 280 characters. These short messages can be accessed by anyone, including people who are not registered with Twitter. However, the tweets are also displayed to the so-called “followers” of the respective user. Followers are other Twitter users who follow the tweets of a user. Furthermore, Twitter makes it possible to address a broad audience via hashtags, links, or retweets.

The provider of this website hereby states that you use Twitter’s short message service and its functions under your own responsibility, in particular with regard to the interactive functions such as sharing and rating.

If you get in touch with us through Twitter, we collect and process your contact data in order to reply to your message and facilitate further discussion with you.

Twitter may collect personal data when you use their service, including your IP address, the application and the terminal device you are using (including device ID and application ID), information about websites you have visited, your location, and your mobile phone provider, and assign these data to your Twitter account and profile. Twitter may transfer these data to countries outside the European Union. The provider of this website has no influence regarding the amount and the way Twitter processes these data or transmits these data to other parties.

Please find further information about how and to which extent and for which purpose Twitter processes personal data here: https://twitter.com/privacy?lang=en

Twitter Social Icon

On this website Twitter share buttons (social icons) are implemented.

If the user clicks on the respective icon on one of the individual pages of this website on which a Twitter social icon has been integrated, the internet browser used on the accessing device is triggered by the respective Twitter component to download a representation of the corresponding Twitter component from Twitter. Further information on the Twitter buttons can be found at https://about.twitter.com/de/resources/buttons. Within this procedure, Twitter can identify which specific sub-page of our website is visited by the user. The purpose of integrating the Twitter component is to enable our users to disseminate the content of this website, to make this website known in the digital world, and to increase our visitor numbers.

If the user is logged into Twitter while using this website on the same device, Twitter recognizes which specific sub-page of this website http://remotegazette.com the user is visiting each for the entire duration of the respective stay on this website. This information is collected by the Twitter component and assigned by Twitter to the respective Twitter account of the user. If the user activates one of the Twitter buttons integrated on our website, the data and information thus transmitted are assigned to the personal Twitter user account of the user and stored and processed by Twitter.

Furthermore, a reference to the Twitter account “remotegazette” is predefined as the default setting whenever a user attempts to share content through the share button on this website. This reference can be removed manually by the user.

Twitter always receives information via the Twitter component that the user has visited our website if the user is simultaneously logged into Twitter at the time of accessing this website; this takes place regardless of whether the user clicks on the Twitter component or not. If the user does not want this information to be transmitted to Twitter, the user can prevent the transmission by logging out of his or her Twitter account before accessing our website.

Twitter may use this information to display targeted advertising to you when you use their service. See: https://help.twitter.com/en/using-twitter/tailored-suggestions

The provider of this website has no influence on the type and scope of the further collection and procession of personal data by Twitter.

The use of the Twitter social icon is based on Art. 6, Par. 1 DSGVO. Facilitation of the greatest possible visibility on social media channels is the legitimate interest of the operator of this website.
