External Sites and Social Media
When you connect to or from CodePixi using external websites, please be careful to check whether the external site is one controlled by us (usually our social media spaces on platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn) or those used by third parties. We cannot control the information practices of other companies and organisations that might advertise, display, link to, or offer to obtain our goods or services for you. We cannot take responsibility for, and this Policy does not cover, spaces on the internet not controlled by us.

Our Website may contain links to enable you to visit other websites of interest easily. However, once you have used these links to leave our site, we do not have any control over that other website. Therefore, we cannot be responsible for the protection and privacy of any information you provide whilst visiting such sites, and such sites are not governed by this Policy. You should exercise caution and look at the privacy statement applicable to the website in question.
Third-party cookies might be downloaded onto your device as a result of your use of this Website. For example, if you send information to or from this Website to your social media account, your account may require the use of such cookies to enable this transfer to take place.

Posting Comments & Social Media
If you choose to post comments on this Website or via our social media accounts containing personal data, we cannot accept responsibility for the use or misuse of such data by others who have access to such posts. We suggest that you consider carefully before posting any such data. We use social media platforms including Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn, as well as posts on Google. We may review tracking data generated by social media providers such as Facebook to measure how useful our social media presence is for you.
Social Media Data Gathering
We employ technology to help us identify when you might have encountered us through social media or to send you targeted marketing messages relating to products we offer during your social media experience. The use of this technology results in our holding your personal contact details and likes and dislikes. We do not categorise this information based on what the law describes as "sensitive personal data."
Facebook as an example of Social Media Integration
CodePixi integrates with different social media to benefit communication with you. To explain how some social media work, we provide an example of how your data is used by Facebook. Other social media use your data in different ways, and you should review the privacy policy of each provider if you are concerned.
The social network Facebook is headquartered at 1601 South California Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA. Facebook is used to get information about CodePixi Customers and Suppliers. An overview of Facebook integrations and social plugins can be found here: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/.
When users enable the Facebook connection in their settings, the Facebook integration establishes a connection between a user’s device and the Facebook server. Thereby, CodePixi receives information about the user. When users invite friends via Facebook, the Facebook integration establishes a connection between a user’s device and the Facebook server, allowing the user to gain information about their friends via CodePixi. CodePixi, as the provider of CodePixi, does not receive any of this information.
When users share their information on Facebook and invite friends via Facebook, the Facebook integration establishes a connection between a user’s device and the Facebook server, linking information on CodePixi to their Facebook account. This allows Facebook to correlate a user’s usage of CodePixi with the corresponding user’s Facebook account. CodePixi does not have any knowledge of the future data usage by Facebook. Users can find more information on that issue in the privacy policy of Facebook at: http://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.
Users must actively enable the Facebook connection in their settings to share information on Facebook and invite friends via Facebook. If users do not want Facebook to gain information on their CodePixi usage or do not want CodePixi to gain information about them via Facebook, they should leave the Facebook integration disabled as it is in the default settings. Once enabled, users can disable the Facebook connection again in their settings at any time.
By activating the Facebook connection in their settings, the user explicitly consents to the information exchange described in this section. Any data arising from the use of Facebook will be located outside the EEA and subject to transmissions between the EEA and elsewhere.
