SCOPE OF THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA

We have integrated a social plug-in from the social network “Facebook” into our website, which is operated by Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, 2 Dublin, Ireland (“Facebook”). When you visit a page that contains such a plug-in, your browser automatically establishes a background connection to Facebook’s servers. The content of the plug-in is transmitted directly from Facebook to your browser and is merely integrated into our site. Through this integration, Facebook receives the information that your browser has loaded a specific page of our website. This applies even if you do not have a Facebook profile or are not currently logged in to Facebook. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted directly from your browser to a Facebook server in Ireland and stored there. If you are logged into Facebook, Facebook can directly associate your visit to our website with your Facebook profile. If you interact with the plug-ins—for example, by clicking the “Like” button or posting a comment—this information is also transmitted directly to a Facebook server and stored there. The information is also published on your Facebook profile and displayed to your Facebook contacts whom you have authorized to view it.

Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR (if you have registered with “Facebook”) and Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR (if you have not registered with Facebook). To the extent that processing is based on Article 6(1), first sentence, (f) of the GDPR, the website operator’s legitimate interest is to enable users to interact with the website operator’s content on Facebook.

PURPOSE OF DATA PROCESSING

The primary purpose of data collection is to offer you a way to interact socially through Facebook and thereby make our website more interactive. For information on the scope of data collection and the further processing and use of the data you provide by Facebook, as well as your rights in this regard and the settings available to protect your privacy, please refer to Facebook’s Privacy Policy: (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy ).

DURATION OF STORAGE

Facebook will store the data relevant to the provision of the web service for as long as necessary. To the extent that the data is subject to statutory retention requirements, it will be deleted once the retention period has expired.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR OBJECTION AND REMEDY

If you do not want the Facebook social plug-in to run, you can block it by installing a so-called script blocker, such as “NoScript.” If you do not want Facebook to associate the data collected via our website with your Facebook profile, you must log out of Facebook before visiting our website.
