Facebook Pixel

We use Facebook Pixel on our website. Facebook Pixel is a service provided by the social network Facebook, operated by Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Facebook“). We use Facebook Pixel to display target audience -orientated advertising on Facebook. The target audience is determined based on a user’s interest in our online offerings as well as on users' interest in specific topics and products which we have communicated to Facebook to create a target audience (Custom Audiences). When a user clicks on an advertisement we have posted in Facebook, Facebook Pixel adds an extension to the URL of our linked page. This URL parameter is then placed in the user’s browser by us via a cookie. The cookie we generate can be read by Facebook Pixel, allowing the data to be forwarded to Facebook to define a target audience for our Facebook ads. With the help of Facebook Pixel, we can assess the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes. This enables us to track whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook ad (“conversion”). The user data collected remains anonymous for us and does not permit us to draw conclusions about the user’s identity. However, a direct link is created to Facebook servers. This allows Facebook to process and store your data, enabling conclusions to be drawn about your personal Facebook user profile. Data processing by Facebook adheres to Facebook’s data usage guidelines (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/).

Data associated with the use of Facebook Pixel will only be processed with your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 a) GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time for future visits by removing the selected check mark to Facebook Pixel .

Information obtained to identify users is not used for any other purposes It is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the specified purpose.

Social Media

We maintain publicly accessible social network profiles Details about the social networks we utilise are provided below.

Social networks like Facebook etc. have the capability to comprehensively analyse user behaviour when you visit their website or a site with integrated social media content (e.g. like buttons or advertising banners). Visiting our social media pages triggers numerous processing operations relevant to data protection, including:

If you are logged into your social media account and visit our social media pages, the social media portal’s operator can link this visit to your user account. Even if you are not logged in or do not have an account on the respective social media portal, personal data may also be collected. In this case, this data is recorded for instance through cookies which are stored on your device or through recording your IP address.

The data collected enables operators of social media portals to create user profiles containing your preferences and interests. Interest-based advertisements can then be displayed for you, both on the social media pages and elsewhere. If you have an account with the respective social network, interest-based advertisements may be displayed on all the devices on which you are currently or have previously logged in with.

Please also note that we cannot track all the processing operations performed on social media portals. Depending on the provider, the operators of the social media portals may therefore perform additional processing operations. For comprehensive information, please refer to the terms of use and data protection regulations provided by the respective social media portal.

Legal Basis

Our presence on social media is intended to ensure an informative experience on the internet. This aligns with our legitimate interest as defined in Art. 6 para. 1 f) GDPR. In specific cases, the legal basis may also be Art. 6 para. 1 a) GDPR. Analysis processes initiated by social networks may be based on other legal bases, and these must be specified by the operators of the social networks (e.g. consent as per Art. 6 para. 1 a) GDPR).

Controller and Exercising Rights

When you visit one of our social media pages, both we and the operator of the social media platform are jointly responsible for the data processing operations resulting from your visit. You can fundamentally exercise your rights (information, correction, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, and complaints) vis a vis both us and the operator of the respective social media portal.

Please note that despite our shared responsibility with the social media portal operators, we do not have complete control over the data processing operations performed by the social media portals. Our options are largely dependent on the corporate policies of the respective provider.

Data Retention Period

Data collected directly by us through our social media pages will be deleted from our systems as soon as the purpose for storing it no longer applies, at your request, when you revoke your consent for it to be stored, or when the purpose for storing the data no longer applies . Cookies stored on your device will remain until you delete them. Mandatory legal provisions, in particular retention periods, remain unaffected.

We have no control over the retention period for data which is stored by social network operators for their own purposes. For specific details, please contact the operators of the social networks directly (refer to their privacy policy, provided below).
