• Social Plug-In - "Facebook by META"

  • What personal data is collected and to what extent is it processed?

    On our website we have integrated a social plug-in of the social network "Facebook by META", which is operated by the Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd., Merrion Road, D04 X2K5 Dublin 4, Ireland, e-mail: impressum-support@support.facebook.com, website: http://www.facebook.com/ ("Facebook by META"). When you call up a page that contains such a plug-in, your browser automatically establishes a background connection to the servers of Facebook by META. The content of the plug-in is transmitted directly to your browser by Facebook by META and only integrated into our site. Through this integration, Facebook by META receives the information that your browser has loaded a specific page of our website. This also applies if you do not have a Facebook by META profile or are not currently logged in to Facebook by META. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted by your browser directly to a server of Facebook by META in Ireland and stored there. If you are logged in to Facebook by META, Facebook by META can directly assign your visit to our website to your Facebook by META 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 server of Facebook by META and stored there. The information is also published on your Facebook by META profile and displayed to your Facebook by META contacts that you have activated for this purpose.

  • Legal basis for the processing of personal data

    Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR (if you have registered with "Facebook by META") and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (if you have not registered with Facebook by META ). Insofar as processing takes place on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR, the legitimate interest of the site operator is to enable user interaction with the content of the site operator at Facebook by META.

  • Purpose of the data processing

    The primary purpose of the data collection is to offer you a possibility of social interaction linked to Facebook by META and thus to make our website interactive. The scope of data collection and the further processing and use of the data you leave behind by Facebook by META, as well as your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy, can be found in the data protection information of Facebook by META: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy

  • Duration of storage

    Facebook by META will store the data relevant for the provision of the web service for as long as it is necessary. Insofar as the data is subject to statutory retention obligations, it will be deleted after the retention obligation has expired.

  • Possibility of objection and deletion

    If you do not want the social plug-in from Facebook by META to run, you can also prevent it from running by installing an appropriate add-on or script blocker. If you do not want Facebook by META to assign the data collected via our website to your Facebook by META profile, you must log out of Facebook by META before visiting our website. The options for objection and removal are also based on the general regulations on the right of objection and deletion under data protection law described below in this data protection declaration.

Data security and data protection, communication by e-mail

Your personal data is protected by technical and organisational measures during collection, storage and processing so that it is not accessible to third parties. In the case of unencrypted communication by e-mail, we cannot guarantee complete data security on the transmission path to our IT systems, so that we recommend encrypted communication or the postal service for information requiring a high level of confidentiality.

We do not consider applications in Word file format and other file formats and delete them unread.
