Juicer
The controller has integrated a Juicer Social Wall into this website. The operating company of Juicer is Juicer.io, 1515 7th Street, #424, Santa Monica, CA 90403.
The Juicer system gives the user the opportunity to combine his social media activity into a single feed, and to integrate this into a social wall on the website. It is therefore possible to integrate content from Instagram, Twitter and various other social media sites by means of hashtags, or alternatively to add all content from an account (Instagram, Twitter, etc.) to the Social Wall. The Social Wall is available to everyone – even for people who do not use Instagram, Twitter, etc.
Juicer and third party suppliers with which it collaborates work in compliance with EU GDPR. The GDPR has been developed to give users more information, and to better protect user data. Juicer will never:
- save or collect user data from the Juicer Feed (Social Wall) of a page.
- Distribute Juicer user data, apart from that collected from Cookies which optimise the use of the system. Juicer therefore collects a minimum amount of data, and discretely handles all data which is disclosed to social networks.
- to pass on any kind of data to social networks.
