6. Do we transfer your data to third countries outside the EU / EEA?
Yes, but only in necessary and minimal extent. Some of our suppliers, which we use when using cookies, have their registered office or their other group companies are established in the United States of America, which are generally considered to be a third country which does not guarantee an adequate level of the personal data protection. In many cases, the data may not physically leave servers located in the EU, but processing due to the supplier’s location may be subject to the law of a third country. We therefore carry out these cross-border transfers only in strict accordance with the law (in particular the GDPR) and only if, in our conclusions and findings, sufficient risk mitigation measures and safeguards are taken for the protection of fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subjects, as required by the Court of Justice in Case C-311/18 (Schrems II).
Supplier / Third-Party | Appropriate safeguards and supplementary measures for cross-border transfers to third countries |
Google Cloud EMEA Limited with registered seat 70 Sir John Rogerson’s Quay, Dublin 2, Ireland (Google Analytics) | Google´s Privacy Policy New type of standard contractual clauses approved by the relevant decision of the European Commission (module 1 and module 2) and appropriate additional measures with further explanation of the settings. |

LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company with registered seat sídlom Wilton Place, | LinkedIn´s Privacy Policy A new type of standard contractual clauses approved by the relevant European Commission decision is used (module 2), which also describes the additional measures taken. |
7. Is the storage of cookies on my device a contractual or legal requirement and what are the consequences if I prevent their storage?
The provision of any type of cookies, which we are processing is not a legal requirement and therefore their non-provision has no negative consequences with legal significance for you.
However, the processing of the necessary and functional cookies can be considered necessary for the provision of the digital services you are interested during visit and usage of our website. Non provision of such cookies may have certain effects on your experience and proper working of website functionalities and third party add-ons or plug-ins integrated to website. Basic website functionalities will always work but as the consequence may worse your comfort and optimal configuration of settings stemmed from your preferences and choices made in the past or in services provided by third parties.
In the case of all other types of cookies (e.g. analytics or advertisement), their provision is exclusively voluntary and is governed by the granting or non-granting of your consent. Failure to give this consent has no negative consequences for you.
8. How do we use cookies when managing our profiles on social networks?
Simple links are also available on our website, which allow immediate connection between our website and our profile established on a social network or other platform (among others Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn). In these cases, these are not active plug-ins that would cause such data processing that would require the consent of logged-in or non-logged-in users of these social networks.
However, in the case of interaction with icons depicting individual social networks, the social network provider may process cookies and personal data, on which we do not have to have any control and influence. SuperScale is not responsible for the use of cookies realized by the social network provider for its own purposes. For more information on the processing of cookies, it is therefore necessary to familiarize yourself with the rules of their processing published by social network providers here:
SuperScale is responsible for processing your data only to a certain extent, for example if you visit our profile, if we communicate with each other on a social network or if we target advertising on social networks. On our profiles on social networks, we may process your personal data and cookies for analytical and statistical purposes together with the relevant social network providers as so-called joint controllers within the meaning of the GDPR. Based on this fact, we are obliged to inform you about the basic parts of the agreements that we have concluded under Art. 26 GDPR:
- Joint-Controllership Addendum concluded with Meta (Facebook / Instagram)
- Page Insights Joint-Controllership Addendum concluded with LinkedIn
Further information about how we use social networks for our own purposes you may find in Privacy Policy.
9. Do we use third party plug-ins, SDKs or surveillance pixels integrated in our websites??
No, we haven´t use such technologies.
