WEEKDAY’S SOCIAL MEDIA PAGES
H&M Group has its own social media page from where we engage with the users and where the users engage with us in an easy way. The H&M Group operating the web page is responsible and controller of all processing of personal data taken place in the context of use of the web page.
Also, the operator of the social media platform processes personal data on in their own commercial interest. This legal person too is to this extent another data controller who carries out data processing upon whom we have only a limited influence. In those places where we practically can exert control and parameterize the data processing, we work to the best of our ability towards the operators of the social media platform to ensure an effective and comprehensive data protection.
