2 Collection, use and processing of personal data

2.1 Responsible for data processing / Contact Details

Henkel (Thailand) Limited, CentralWorld, 35th Floor, Rama 1 Road, Pathum Wan. Pathum Wan District, Bangkok 10330, Thailand

together with

Henkel AG & Co. KGaA, Henkelstrasse 67, 40589 Duesseldorf, Germany

as joint controllers as per Art. 26 GDPR, hereinafter together referred to as “Henkel” or “we”

You may exercise your data subject rights against us as well as against all other joint controllers. We and the controllers jointly responsible with us will immediately inform each other about any rights exercised by data subjects. We will provide each other with all the information necessary to respond to requests for information.

Henkel AG & Co. KGaA will provide data subjects with the necessary information as required under Articles 13 and 14 of the GDPR. In this process, the other joint controllers provide us with all the necessary information from their scope of operations.

To assert any data subjects’ rights, consent withdrawals or general data protection queries, you can contact us at Henkel (Thailand) Limited, “Data Protection” CentralWorld, 35th Floor, Rama 1 Road, Pathum Wan. Pathum Wan District, Bangkok 10330, Thailand (E-Mail: wanniwat.boonlapho@henkel.com)

2.2 General Usage of Website

Henkel uses personal data to provide this website to the users. Any further processing of the data only occurs on the basis of other statutory duties or permissions or if the respective user has consented towards Henkel.

When users visit the website, Henkel automatically collects and stores certain data. This includes: the IP address or device ID allocated to the respective end-device which we need for transmitting requested content (e.g. especially texts, images, and product information as well as electronic files provided for downloading, etc.), the activity of users in the context of the website, the type of the respective end-device, the browser in use as well as the date and time of use.

Henkel stores this information for a maximum of 7 days for the purpose of recognizing and pursuing misuse.

Henkel uses this information also for improvements to the service’s presentation, features and functionalities as well as general administration tasks.

Aside from this, Henkel deletes or anonymizes the data on use, including the IP addresses, without undue delay as soon as they are no longer needed for the above mentioned purposes.

Such processing and use of your data is lawful because (1) the processing is necessary for the provision of the website as per Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR; or (2) Henkel has an overriding legitimate interest in ensuring and enhancing the functionality and error-free operation of the website and that it is tailored to the users’ needs pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

2.3 Service-Providers / International Data Transfers

In order to provide the website and the services contained therein, Henkel may engage service-providers (e.g. for the hosting of Henkel’s websites, computing and database management, tracking etc.) which therefore generally may also process your personal data when you use our websites.

Most of these service providers are contractually bound to only process such personal data on behalf of Henkel and are located (i) within the EU/EEA, (ii) countries officially recognised by the EU Commission as providing an adequate level of data protection or (iii) in the US and participate in the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework.

Where this is not the case or if service-providers themselves engage sub-contractors your personal data may potentially be transferred to third countries (i.e. outside of the EU/EEA and countries officially recognised by the EU Commission as providing an adequate level of data protection (including the US with respect to participants of the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework)) not providing for a level of data protection essentially equivalent to that of the EU/EEA.

All of our service-providers are, however, obligated to solely process in or transfer any of your personal data to third countries in case the additional requirements for international data transfers enshrined in Art. 44 et seq of the GDPR are complied with, predominantly by concluding EU Standard Contractual Clauses and, if required, implement additional measures in order to establish an adequate level of data protection. The EU Standard Contractual Clauses are model contracts provided by the EU Commission which – if required – together with additional measures are intended to ensure that your personal data are processed in accordance with European data protection standards even if the processing takes place outside the EU/EEA.

Provided you have consented, with Google Campaign Manager 360 (“Campaign Manager”) we use a service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 (“Google”), to display relevant ads to you.

For this purpose, Google installs a cookie on your device by using your IP address. In addition to IP address, browser and device information, visited websites and time of access, this cookie also collects information about the advertising shown in your browser and which advertisements you click. This allows Google and its partner sites to display interest-related ads based on the previous visits of Henkel-pages or other websites. The Campaign Manager cookies utilize a pseudonymous identification number assigned to your browser to check the on-screen and appealing ads. For this purpose, your browser is identified when ads are served, and assigned to a target group. The cookies stored on your device by Google thus allow you to be retargeted on the one hand (e.g. within the scope of “Google Ads”) on Google's websites and on the other hand (e.g. within the scope of “Google Campaign Manager 360”) on our websites and – depending on your interests – when you visit websites of other partners.

To do this, Google installs a cookie on your device. Floodlight tracks user activity on our or a third-party website after the user has clicked a Google ad and recognizes or re-identifies users by means of their User ID. This information can be used by Floodlight for conversion attribution. Floodlight also counts cross-environment conversions (e.g. user clicks a paid search ad on a mobile device but converts from a desktop computer) using – according to Google – various sources of aggregated and anonymized data.

5 Use of Social Media Plug-ins

Social Media content management services such as cookies and plug-ins of different social media networks are embedded in our web pages. The associated services are provided by the respective companies (“providers”). Purpose of these services are to enable you to view and share our content with your friends and professional networks. These providers are:

Facebook is within the EU operated by Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Facebook"). For an overview of the Facebook plug-ins and their appearance, go to: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins

X is operated by X Corp., 1355 Market St, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA (“X”). For an overview of the X-buttons and their appearance, go to: https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-for-websites

YouTube is within the EU provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”). For an overview of the YouTube plugins, go to: https://developers.google.com/youtube/documentation
Instagram is within the EU provided by Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland („Instagram“). For an overview of the Instagram plug-ins and their appearance, go to: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram

LinkedIn is provided by LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland (“LinkedIn”). For an overview of the LinkedIn plug-ins and their appearance, go to: https://developer.linkedin.com/plugins#

To increase the protection afforded to your data when you visit our web pages, these plug-ins are implemented as “2-click buttons.” This form of integration ensures that, when accessing a page from within our website containing such plug-ins, you are not automatically connected to the providers’ servers. Only if you activate the plug-ins the browser will initiate a data transmission to the providers’ servers. The content of the various plug-ins is then transmitted by the provider concerned directly to your browser and then displayed on your screen.

The social media tool tells the provider your previously visited websites, your IP address, browser information, and the date and time of the server request. On making use of any of the social media functions (e.g. clicking the “Share” button, leaving a comment), also this information will be transmitted by the browser directly to the provider for retention. Those providers may use your data for any own purposes as for analytics, marketing, profiling and linking your data to other data collected about you (such as through your user account with the respective provider) even if you are not logged in to your social media account.

Please note: The providers may process the data partly also in countries outside of the EU/EEA not providing for an adequate level of data protection including the US if the provider is not a participant of the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework.

We base such processing and use of your data (if applicable, also including any direct transfer from Henkel to providers located outside of the EU/EEA) on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b or f GDPR as it is required to provide this functionality to you once you decide to interact with a social media plugin implemented on this website.

Further information on the collection and use of data by the providers, in particular also with regard to measures implemented by the providers regarding the transfer of personal data outside of the EU/EEA, and on the rights and possibilities available to you for protecting your privacy in these circumstances can be found in the providers’ data protection/privacy policies:
