From time to time we invite you to provide your images to us via social media platforms by following specific instructions on the use of hashtags. We will be using the images you provide for our campaign communications. We will obtain rights to your image through a licence agreement in the form of our terms and conditions. 

 

By submitting your images via social media platforms to us, you will agree for us to use your images as described in the licence agreement. The personal data we process for this include information about your social media handle, images, videos, comments, sound recordings and other files provided through the social media platform promoting ECCO and social media interaction and activity.

Advertisement via social media

We use third-party advertising platforms, such as Facebook, TikTok, Google, YouTube, Instagram, etc. to send you messages that are targeted at you, based on your behaviour and browsing pattern, at specific times and locations of these platforms to increase the efficiency of our advertising campaigns. 

 

In order to do this, we share your personal data with our advertising agency partners as well as social media platforms. We use third-party solutions such as Google Analytics and Facebook Business Manager tools to help us do a better job at targeting our campaigns and messages for our consumers. 

 

Social media platforms will attempt to match your profile in their database to determine the optimal time and place (the page you are browsing) to show you an advertisement from ECCO. We also need to analyse necessary information to understand the impact of our campaigns. 

 

If you don’t accept that we track you for this purpose, you will still see ECCO advertisements on social media platforms and other third-party platforms at random. Please also read the privacy notice on the social media platforms to understand how your personal data is used by them for this purpose.
