Privacy Policy

1. What is this Data Protection Notice about?

The Studyond AG (also «we», «us») collects and processes personal data that concern you but also other individuals («third parties»). We use the word «data» here interchangeably with «personal data».

In this Data Protection Notice, we describe what we do with your data when you use https://studyond.com, https://thesisnavigator.com, https://app.studyond.com, https://auth.studyond.com, our other websites or apps (collectively «website»), obtain services or products from us, interact with us in relation to a contract, communicate with us or otherwise deal with us. When appropriate we will provide a just-in-time notice to cover any additional processing activities not mentioned in this Data Protection Notice. In addition, we may inform you about the processing of your data separately, for example in consent forms, terms and conditions, additional privacy notices, forms and other notices.

If you disclose data to us or share data with us about other individuals, such as family members, co-workers, etc., you confirm that you are authorized to do so and that the relevant data is accurate. When you share data about others with us, you confirm that. Please make sure that these individuals have been informed about this Data Protection Notice.

This Data Protection Notice is aligned with the EU General Data Protection Regulation («GDPR»), the Swiss Data Protection Act («DPA») and the revised Swiss Data Protection («revDPA»). However, the application of these laws depends on each individual case.

We strive to provide clear and understandable information about our data processing activities. This includes detailing what data is collected, the purposes for which it is used, and how long it will be retained.

2. Who is the controller for processing your data?

The Studyond AG, Zürcherstrasse 45, 9000 St. Gallen, Switzerland (the «Studyond AG») is the controller for the processing under this Data Protection Notice, unless we tell you otherwise in an individual case, for example in additional privacy notices, on a form or in a contract.

You may contact us for data protection concerns and to exercise your rights under Section 11 as follows:

Studyond AG
Zürcherstrasse 45
9000 St. Gallen
Switzerland
privacy@studyond.com

We have appointed the following additional position:

Data Protection Officer according to articles 37 et seq. GDPR:

Romeo Arpagaus
Studyond AG
Zürcherstrasse 45
9000 St. Gallen
Switzerland
privacy@studyond.com

We have appointed a Data Protection Officer (DPO) to oversee our data protection practices. If you have any concerns or questions regarding your data, you can contact our DPO at the above address.

3. What data do we process?

We process various categories of data about you. The main categories of data are the following:

Technical data

When you use our website or other online offerings (for example free Wi-Fi), we collect the IP address of your terminal device and other technical data in order to ensure the functionality and security of these offerings. This data includes logs with records of the use of our systems. We generally keep technical data for 6 months. In order to ensure the functionality of these offerings, we may also assign an individual code to you or your terminal device (for example as a cookie, see Section 12). Technical data as such does not permit us to draw conclusions about your identity. However, technical data may be linked with other categories of data (and potentially with your person) in relation to user accounts, registrations, access controls or the performance of a contract.

Registration data

Certain offerings, for example applications, and services (such as login areas of our website, email notifications, etc.) can only be used with a user account or registration, which can happen directly with us or through our third-party login service providers. In this regard you must provide us with certain personal data, and we collect personal data about the use of the offering or service. We generally keep registration data for 12 months from the date the use of the service ceases or the user account is closed.

If you choose to create an account on the Studyond website or log in to an account, you will be asked to provide the following personal information:

Your email address at an organization you are working or studying

You can choose not to provide us with any personal information, but then you will not be able to create an account, consume our provided contents around thesis writing or collaborate on your thesis topic with a topic expert from a company (expert).

In addition to this information, an expert you would like to work with may also request additional (personal) data when you apply for a cooperation. For example, this may include the following data:

First Name
Last Name
Field of study
Qualification level to which you are studying (BSc / MSc / PhD)
Skills
Other open questions

Data shared with the expert outside of the Studyond website is not under our control and not part of this policy.

Communication data

When you are in contact with us via the contact form, by e-mail, telephone or chat, or by letter or other means of communication, we collect the data exchanged between you and us, including your contact details and the metadata of the communication. If we record or listen in on telephone conversations or video conferences, for example for training and quality assurance purposes, we will tell you specifically. Such recordings may only be made and used in accordance with our internal policies. You will be informed if and when such recordings take place, for example by an indication during the video conference in question. If you do not want to be recorded, please notify us or leave the (video) conference. If you simply do not want your image to be recorded, please turn off your camera. If we have to determine your identity, for example in relation to a request for information, a request for press access, etc., we collect data to identify you (for example a copy of an ID document). We generally keep this data for 12 months from the last exchange between us. This period may be longer where required for evidentiary purposes, to comply with legal or contractual requirements, or for technical reasons. E-mails in personal mailboxes and written correspondence are generally kept for at least 10 years. Recordings of (video) conferences we will usually keep for 36 months. Chats are generally stored for 2 years.

Master data

With master data we mean the basic data that we need, in addition to contract data (see below), for the performance of our contractual and other business relationships or for marketing and promotional purposes, such as name and contact details, and information about, for example, your role and function, your bank details, your date of birth, customer history, powers of attorney, signature authorizations and declarations of consent. We process your master data if you are a customer or other business contact or work for one (for example as a contact person of the business partner), or because we wish to address you for our own purposes or for the purposes of a contractual partner (for example as part of marketing and advertising, with invitations to events, with vouchers, with newsletters, etc.). We receive master data from you (for example when you make a purchase or as part of a registration), from parties you work for, or from third parties such as contractual partners, associations and address brokers, and from public sources such as public registers or the internet (websites, social media, etc.). We may also process health data and information about third parties as part of master data. We may also collect master data from our shareholders and investors. We generally keep master data for 10 years from the last exchange between us or from the end of the contract. This period may be longer if required for evidentiary purposes, to comply with legal or contractual requirements, or for technical reasons. For contacts used only for marketing and advertising, the retention period is usually much shorter, usually no more than 2 years from the last contact.

Contract data

This means data that is collected in relation to the conclusion or performance of a contract, for example information about the contracts and the services provided or to be provided, as well as data from the period leading up to the conclusion of a contract, information required or used for performing a contract, and information about feedback (for example complaints, feedback about satisfaction, etc.). We generally collect this data from you, from contractual partners and from third parties involved in the performance of the contract, but also from third-party sources (for example credit information providers) and from public sources. We generally keep this data for 10 years from the last contract activity or from the end of the contract. This period may be longer where necessary for evidentiary purposes, to comply with legal or contractual requirements, or for technical reasons.

Behavioral and preference data

Depending on our relationship with you, we try to get to know you better and to tailor our products, services and offers to you. For this purpose, we collect and process data about your behavior and preferences. We do so by evaluating information about your behavior in our domain, and we may also supplement this information with third-party information, including from public sources. Based on this data, we can for example determine the likelihood that you will use certain services or behave in a certain way. The data processed for this purpose is already known to us (for example where and when you use our services), or we collect it by recording your behavior (for example how you navigate our website). We anonymize or delete this data when it is no longer relevant for the purposes pursued, which may be – depending on the nature of the data – between 6 and 24 months (for product and service preferences). This period may be longer where necessary for evidentiary purposes, to comply with legal or contractual requirements, or for technical reasons. We describe how tracking works on our website in Section 12.

Other data

We also collect data from you in other situations. For example, data that may relate to you (such as files, evidence, etc.) is processed in relation to administrative or judicial proceedings. We may also collect data for health protection (for example as part of health protection concepts). We may obtain or create photos, videos and sound recordings in which you may be identifiable (for example at events, with security cameras, etc.). We may also collect data about who enters certain buildings, and when or who has access rights (including in relation to access controls, based on registration data or lists of visitors, etc.), who participates in events or campaigns (for example competitions) and who uses our infrastructure and systems and when. Moreover, we collect and process data about our shareholders and other investors, in addition to master data, including information for registers, in relation to the exercise of their rights and events (for example general meetings). The retention period for this data depends on the processing purpose and is limited to what is necessary. This ranges from a few days for many security cameras, to a few weeks for contact tracing and visitor data, which is usually kept for 6 months, to several years or more for reports about events with images. Data relating to you as a shareholder or investor is kept in accordance with corporate law, but in any case for as long as you are invested.

Much of the data set out in this Section 3 is provided to us by you (through forms, when you communicate with us, in relation to contracts, when you use the website, etc.). You are not obliged or required to disclose data to us except in certain cases, for example within the framework of binding health protection concepts (legal obligations). If you wish to enter into contracts with us or use our services, you must also provide us with certain data, in particular master data, contract data and registration data, as part of your contractual obligation under the relevant contract. When using our website, the processing of technical data cannot be avoided. If you wish to gain access to certain systems or buildings, you must also provide us with registration data. However, in the case of behavioral and preference data, you generally have the option of objecting or not giving consent.

We do not knowingly collect any personal data from children. If you are under the age of 18, please do not create an account on the Studyond website as this violates our Terms of Service.

As far as it is not unlawful we also collect data from public sources (for example debt collection registers, land registers, commercial registers, the media, or the internet including social media) or receive data from public authorities and from other third parties (such as credit agencies, address brokers, associations, contractual partners, internet analytics services, etc.).

4. For what purposes do we process your data?

We process your data for the purposes explained below. Further information is set out in Sections 12 and 13 for online services. These purposes and their objectives represent interests of us and potentially of third parties. You can find further information on the legal basis of our processing in Section 5.

We process your data for purposes related to communication with you, in particular in relation to responding to inquiries and the exercise of your rights (Section 11) and to enable us to contact you in case of queries. For this purpose, we use in particular communication data and master data, and registration data in relation to offers and services that you use. We keep this data to document our communication with you, for training purposes, for quality assurance and for follow-up inquiries.

We process data for the conclusion, administration and performance of contractual relationships.

We process data for marketing purposes and relationship management, for example to send our customers and other contractual partners personalized advertising for products and services from us and from third parties (for example from advertising partners). This may happen in the form of newsletters and other regular contacts (electronically, by e-mail or by telephone), through other channels for which we have contact information from you, but also as part of marketing campaigns (for example events, contests, etc.) and may also include free services (for example invitations, vouchers, etc.). You can object to such contacts at any time (see at the end of this Section 4) or refuse or withdraw consent to be contacted for marketing purposes. With your consent, we can target our online advertising on the internet more specifically to you (see Section 12). Finally, we also wish to enable our contractual partners to contact our customers and other contractual partners for marketing purposes (see Section 7).

We further process your data for market research, to improve our services and operations, and for product development.

We may also process your data for security and access control purposes.

We process personal data to comply with laws, directives and recommendations from authorities and internal regulations («Compliance»).

We also process data for the purposes of our risk management and as part of our corporate governance, including business organization and development.

We may process your data for further purposes, for example as part of our internal processes and administration or for quality assurance purposes and trainings.

5. On what basis do we process your data?

We process your personal data based on the following lawful bases under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):

Consent: We will ask for your explicit consent to process your personal data for specific purposes, such as sending marketing communications or using tracking technologies (e.g., cookies). We utilize CookieYes as our cookie consent manager, enabling users to manage their cookie preferences effectively. Users may withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future by providing us written notice (by mail) or, unless otherwise noted or agreed, by sending an e-mail to us; see our contact details in Section 2. Once we have received notification of withdrawal of consent, we will no longer process your information for the purpose(s) you consented to, unless we have another legal basis to do so.

Contractual Necessity: We process your data when it is necessary for the performance of a contract with you or to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract. For example, when you create an account or access our services, we process the information you provide to fulfill our contractual obligations.

Legal Obligation: We may process your personal data to comply with our legal obligations, such as responding to requests from law enforcement or regulatory authorities in Switzerland.

Legitimate Interests: We may process your data when it is necessary for our legitimate interests or those of a third party, provided that your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests. Our legitimate interests also include compliance with legal regulations and marketing of our products and services. This may involve understanding our markets better and managing and further developing our company operations safely and efficiently.

Sensitive Personal Data: Where we receive sensitive personal data (e.g., health data, data about political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, and biometric data for identification purposes), we may process your data on other legal bases as necessary, such as in the event of a dispute or for the enforcement or defense of legal claims.

6. What applies in case of profiling and automated individual decisions?

We may automatically evaluate personal aspects relating to you («profiling») based on your data (Section 3) for the purposes set out in Section 4, where we wish to determine preference data, but also in order to detect misuse and security risks, to perform statistical analysis or for operational planning. We may also create profiles for these purposes, i.e. we may combine behavioral and preference data, but also master data, contract data and technical data relating to you in order to better understand you as a person with your various interests and other characteristics.

In both cases, we pay attention to the proportionality and reliability of the results and take measures against misuse of these profiles or profiling. Where these can produce legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affect you, we generally ensure human review.

In relation to our contracts, the website, our services and products, our legal obligations or otherwise with protecting our legitimate interests and the other purposes set out in Section 4, we may disclose your personal data to third parties, in particular to the following categories of recipients:

Service providers: We work with service providers in Switzerland and abroad who process your data on our behalf or as joint controllers with us or who receive data about you from us as separate controllers (for example IT providers, shipping companies, advertising service providers, login service providers, cleaning companies, security companies, banks, insurance companies, debt collection companies, credit information agencies, or address verification providers). This may include health data. For the service providers used for the website, see Section 12. Key service providers in the IT area are HubSpot, Inc. (and its affiliates), Brevo (formerly Sendinblue) France, Google Ireland Ltd. and Amazon Web Services EMEA SARL.

We clearly outline how and with whom your data is shared. When sharing data with third parties, we inform users about potential risks associated with transferring data to countries that may not have adequate data protection laws.

Service providers

We work with service providers in Switzerland and abroad who process your data on our behalf or as joint controllers with us or who receive data about you from us as separate controllers (for example IT providers, shipping companies, advertising service providers, login service providers, cleaning companies, security companies, banks, insurance companies, debt collection companies, credit information agencies, or address verification providers). This may include health data. For the service providers used for the website, see Section 12. Key service providers in the IT area are HubSpot, Inc. (and its affiliates), Brevo (formerly Sendinblue) France, Google Ireland Ltd. and Amazon Web Services EMEA SARL.

Qualified Experts (Experts)

By applying to experts for cooperation in thesis writing, information on the cooperation applicants will be transferred to the experts. The experts act as separate controllers.

We work with experts inside and outside the European Economic Area, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. Experts within the European Economic Area and Switzerland are subject to the same or similar data protection laws as Studyond.

However, experts outside these countries may not be subject to the same data protection laws and thus data protection levels.

If you do not want your personal data to be transferred to the expert outside the European Economic Area, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, please do not apply for cooperation with that expert.

We will not send your personal data to experts unless you have given your explicit consent by applying for cooperation with a particular expert. You may opt out of a cooperation with an expert by removing the expert from your thesis writing project.

Once an expert has received a copy of your Personal Information, the expert is responsible for handling that Personal Information. If you have concerns about an expert's data protection practices or if you wish to have your Personal Information deleted from an expert's records, please contact that expert directly. Contact information can be found in the profile of the expert.

Contractual partners including customers

This refers to customers (for example service recipients) and our other contractual partners as this data disclosure results from these contracts. For example, they receive registration data, tracking data of visitors of their profiles, invitations, etc. If you work for one of these contractual partners, we may also disclose data about you to that partner in this regard. These recipients also include contractual partners with whom we cooperate or who carry out advertising for us and to whom we may therefore disclose data about you for analysis and marketing purposes (these may again be service recipients, but also sponsors and online advertising providers). We require these partners to send you or display advertising based on your data only with your consent (for online advertising, see Section 12).

Authorities

We may disclose personal data to agencies, courts and other authorities in Switzerland and abroad if we are legally obliged or entitled to make such disclosures or if it appears necessary to protect our interests. This may include health data. These authorities act as separate controllers.

Other persons

This means other cases where interactions with third parties follows from the purposes set out in Section 4, for example service recipients, the media and associations in which we participate or if you are included in one of our publications.

All these categories of recipients may involve third parties, so that your data may also be disclosed to them. We can restrict the processing by certain third parties (for example IT providers), but not by others (for example authorities, banks, etc.).

We reserve the right to make such disclosures even of secret data (unless we have expressly agreed with you that we will not disclose such data to certain third parties, except if we are required to do so by law). Notwithstanding the foregoing, your data will continue to be subject to adequate data protection in Switzerland and the rest of Europe, even after disclosure. For disclosure to other countries, the provisions of Section 8 apply. If you do not wish certain data to be disclosed, please let us know so that we can review if and to what extent we can accommodate your concern (Section 2).

In addition, we enable certain third parties to collect personal data from you on our website and at events organized by us (for example press photographers, providers of tools on our website, etc.). Where we have no control over these data collections, these third parties are sole controllers. If you have concerns or wish to exercise your data protection rights, please contact these third parties directly. See Section 12 for the website.

8. Is your personal data disclosed abroad?

As explained in Section 7, we disclose data to other parties. These are not all located in Switzerland. Your data may therefore be processed both in Europe and in the USA; in exceptional cases, in any country in the world.

If a recipient is located in a country without adequate statutory data protection, we require the recipient to undertake to comply with data protection (for this purpose, we use the revised European Commission's standard contractual clauses, which can be accessed here: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dec_impl/2021/914/oj), unless the recipient is subject to a legally accepted set of rules to ensure data protection and unless we cannot rely on an exception. An exception may apply for example in case of legal proceedings abroad, but also in cases of overriding public interest or if the performance of a contract requires disclosure, if you have consented or if data has been made available generally by you and you have not objected against the processing.

Please note that data exchanged via the internet is often routed through third countries. Your data may therefore be sent abroad even if the sender and recipient are in the same country.

9. How long do we process your data?

We process your data for as long as our processing purposes, the legal retention periods and our legitimate interests in documentation and keeping evidence require it or storage is a technical requirement. You will find further information on the respective storage and processing periods for the individual data categories in Section 3, and for cookies in Section 12. If there are no contrary legal or contractual obligations, we will delete or anonymize your data once the storage or processing period has expired as part of our usual processes.

10. How do we protect your data?

We take appropriate security measures in order to maintain the required security of your personal data and ensure its confidentiality, integrity and availability, and to protect it against unauthorized or unlawful processing, and to mitigate the risk of loss, accidental alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access.

We implement a variety of security measures to protect your personal data. These include encryption, access controls, and regular security audits to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of your data.

Breach Notification

In the event of a data breach, we will notify affected users without undue delay and within 72 hours, as required by GDPR. Notifications will include information about the nature of the breach, the data affected, and the measures we are taking in response.

Regular Reviews and Updates

This privacy policy will be regularly reviewed and updated to reflect changes in our data processing activities or legal requirements. We will notify users of significant changes through our website or directly via email.

11. What are your rights?

Applicable data protection laws grant you the right to object to the processing of your personal data in some circumstances, in particular for direct marketing purposes, for profiling carried out for direct marketing purposes, and for other legitimate interests in processing.

To help you control the processing of your personal data, you have the following rights in relation to our data processing, depending on the applicable data protection law:

Right to Access: The right to request information from us about whether we process your personal data and, if so, to obtain a copy of that data.
Right to Rectification: The right to have us correct any inaccurate or incomplete personal data about you.
Right to Erasure: The right to request the deletion of your personal data when it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or if you withdraw your consent.
Right to Restrict Processing: The right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data under certain circumstances.
Right to Data Portability: The right to request that we provide certain personal data in a commonly used electronic format or transfer it to another controller.
Right to Withdraw Consent: The right to withdraw consent, where our processing is based on your consent, at any time.
Right to Object: The right to object to the processing of your personal data based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes.

To exercise these rights, please contact us at privacy@studyond.com. We will respond to your request in accordance with applicable data protection laws. In order to prevent misuse, we may need to verify your identity before processing your request (e.g., by contacting us from the email address you registered with or providing identification).

You also have these rights in relation to other parties that cooperate with us as separate controllers – please contact them directly if you wish to exercise your rights in relation to their processing. You will find information on our key partners and service providers in Section 7 and additional information in Section 12.

Please note that conditions, exceptions, or restrictions apply to these rights under applicable data protection law (for example, to protect third parties or trade secrets). We will inform you accordingly where applicable.

If you do not agree with how we handle your rights or with our data protection practices, please let us or our Data Protection Officer (Section 2) know. If you are located in the EEA, the United Kingdom, or in Switzerland, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent data protection supervisory authority in your country. You can find a list of authorities in the EEA here: https://edpb.europa.eu/about-edpb/board/members_en. You can reach the UK supervisory authority here: https://ico.org.uk/global/contact-us/. You can reach the Swiss supervisory authority here: https://www.edoeb.admin.ch/edoeb/en/home/the-fdpic/contact.html.

You can update your profile information by modifying the details in the "My Settings" section of your account. Additionally, if you wish to delete your personal information or permanently delete your account, you can do so directly within your profile settings or by contacting us via email at privacy@studyond.com.

12. Do we use online tracking and online advertising techniques?

We use various techniques on our website that allow us and third parties engaged by us to recognize you during your use of our website, and possibly to track you across several visits. This Section informs you about this.

In essence, we wish to distinguish access by you (through your system) from access by other users, so that we can ensure the functionality of the website and carry out analysis and personalization. We do not intend to determine your identity, even if that is possible where we or third parties engaged by us can identify you by combination with registration data. However, even without registration data, the technologies we use are designed in such a way that you are recognized as an individual visitor each time you access the website, for example by our server (or third-party servers) that assign a specific identification number to you or your browser (so-called «cookie»).

We use various techniques on our website that allow us and third parties engaged by us to recognize you during your use of our website, including cookie management through CookieYes. Users can adjust their cookie preferences via the CookieYes interface. You can also set your browser to block or deceive certain types of cookies or alternative technologies, or to delete existing cookies. You can also add software to your browser that blocks certain third-party tracking. You can find more information on the help pages of your browser (usually with the keyword «Privacy») or on the websites of the third parties set out below.

We distinguish the following categories of «cookies» (including other technologies such as fingerprinting):

Essential cookies

Some cookies are necessary for the functioning of the website or for certain features. For example, they ensure that you can move between pages without losing information that was entered in a form. They also ensure that you stay logged in. These cookies exist temporarily only («session cookies»). If you block them, the website may not work properly. Other cookies are necessary for the server to store options or information (which you have entered) beyond a session (i.e. a visit to the website) if you use this function (for example language settings, consents, automatic login functionality, etc.). These cookies have an expiration date of up to 24 months.

Functional cookies

In order to optimize our website and related offers and to better adapt them to the needs of the users, we use cookies to record and analyze the use of our website, potentially beyond one session. We use third-party analytics services for this purpose. We have listed them below. Before we use such cookies, we ask for your consent. You can withdraw consent at any time through the cookie settings. Performance cookies also have an expiration date of up to 24 months. Details can be found on the websites of the third-party providers.

Marketing cookies

We and our advertising partners have an interest in targeting advertising as precisely as possible, i.e. only showing it to those we wish to address. We have listed our advertising partners below. For this purpose, we and our advertising partners – if you consent – use cookies that can record the content that has been accessed or the contracts that have been concluded. This allows us and our advertising partners to display advertisements that we think will interest you on our website, but also on other websites that display advertisements from us or our advertising partners. These cookies have an expiration period of a few days to 24 months, depending on the circumstances. If you consent to the use of these cookies, you will be shown related advertisements. If you do not consent to them, you will not see less advertisements, but simply any other advertisement.

When you create an account with us, we will use cookies to manage the login process and for general administration. These cookies are usually deleted when you log out. However, in some cases, they may remain thereafter to store your website preferences when you log out.

We use cookies when you are logged in so that we can remember that fact. This prevents you from having to log in each time you visit a new page. These cookies are usually removed or deleted when you log out to ensure that you can only access limited features and areas when you are logged in.

When you submit data through a form, such as contact pages or comment forms, cookies may be set to store your user information for future correspondence.

We may also integrate additional third-party offers on our website, in particular from social media providers. These offers are deactivated by default. As soon as you activate them (for example by clicking a button), these providers can determine that you are using our website. If you have an account with that social media provider, it can assign this information to you and thereby track your use of online offers. These social media providers process this data as separate controllers.

We currently use offers from the following service providers and advertising partners (where they use data from you or cookies set on your computer for advertising purposes):

These technologies are used by advertisers to serve ads that are relevant to your interests.

We may operate pages and other online presences («fan pages», «channels», «profiles», etc.) on social networks and other platforms operated by third parties and collect the data about you described in Section 3 and below. We receive this data from you and from the platforms when you interact with us through our online presence (for example when you communicate with us, comment on our content or visit our online presence). At the same time, the platforms analyze your use of our online presences and combine this data with other data they have about you (for example about your behavior and preferences). They also process this data for their own purposes, in particular for marketing and market research purposes (for example to personalize advertising) and to manage their platforms (for example what content they show you) and, to that end, they act as separate controllers.

We process this data for the purposes set out in Section 4, in particular for communication, for marketing purposes (including advertising on these platforms, see Section 12) and for market research. You will find information about the applicable legal basis in Section 5. We may disseminate content published by you (for example comments on an announcement), for example as part of our advertising on the platform or elsewhere.
