COS' 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.

We may share your content on our website if this is a function of the social media platform and communicate with you via the social media platform. If you post an enquiry to us on the social media platform we will, after any required response, also refer you to other safer methods of communication which guarantee confidentiality.

What is the legal ground to process your personal data?
The legal ground for us using your data in the context of our publicity work and communication is based on our legitimate interest as a business.
