The use of this Facebook page may involve the processing of personal data due to the use of Facebook Page Insights. To make this processing comprehensible for you, we would like to provide you with an overview with the following information.

General privacy information regarding Facebook
The moment you access our fan page, your browser establishes a connection with Facebook and transmits information. This data is transmitted, among other things:
For visitors who are not logged in or registered on Facebook:
- IP address: When a fan page is accessed, Facebook automatically determines the user’s IP address.
- Cookies: When you visit our fan page, cookies are automatically set. According to Facebook, the so-called “datr cookie” is used to identify the web browser establishing the connection with the Facebook page and plays a key role in protecting the social network from “malicious activity”. The “datr cookie” is valid for two years, but can be deleted via your browser settings. The retention period for the “datr cookie” is two years.
For visitors who are registered with and logged in to Facebook:
- IP address: Facebook also collects the user’s IP address, even for logged-in visitors (see above)
- Cookies: In this case, too, a “datr cookie” is set (see above). If you are a Facebook member and are logged into your Facebook profile whilst visiting our “Fanpage”, the c_user cookie is also activated. Facebook links your visit to the “Fanpage” to your personal user account. This enables Facebook to track your user behaviour. The c_user cookie is stored for 30 days.
For further information on how Facebook processes your personal data, please refer to Facebook’s Privacy Policy at the following link: https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy/?entry_point=data_policy_redirect&entry=0.

Using Facebook Page Insights
Description and scope of data processing
Facebook provides every fan page operator with page insights on their page. Page Insights is summarised data that allows the fan page operator to gain insight into how people interact with their page. Page Insights may be based on personal data collected in connection with a visit or interaction of people on or with our page and its content.
In order to fulfil the requirements of Art. 26 GDPR regarding the joint responsibility of us and Meta Platforms Ireland, we have concluded a Page Insights Addendum with Facebook. In this agreement, Facebook undertakes to assume primary responsibility under the GDPR for the processing of Insights data and to fulfil all obligations under the GDPR with regard to the processing of Insights data (including Art. 12 and 13 GDPR, Art. 15 to 22 GDPR and Art. 32 to 34 GDPR). Only Meta Platforms Ireland can make and implement decisions regarding the processing of Insights Data. Meta Platforms Ireland will decide at its sole discretion how to fulfil its obligations under this Page Insights Addendum.
As the fan page operator, we ourselves do not make any decisions regarding the processing of Insights data and all other information resulting from Art. 13 GDPR, including the legal basis, identity of the controller and storage duration of cookies on user end devices.
Meta Platforms Ireland provides data subjects with the key details of the Page Insights supplement. Information from Facebook regarding the use of Page Insights and the personal data processed in this context can be found at the following link: https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/information_about_page_insights_data.
Purpose and legal basis of data processing
The legal basis for the placement of Page Insights is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR, which results from the use of the Facebook platform. We use this to record and evaluate user movements on the fan page in order to optimise our own social media presence. This enables us to optimally tailor our fan page to the page visitors and to compile statistics on user behaviour.
Transfer to third countries
The use of Page Insights may result in data being transferred to a non-EU third country (USA). Meta is certified in accordance with the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, which is equivalent to an adequacy decision by the European Commission for third country transfers to the USA.
Retention period
According to Facebook, it retains data until it is no longer needed to provide its services and products, or until the user’s account is deleted, whichever occurs first. According to Facebook, this depends on the circumstances of each individual case, in particular the type of data, the reasons for its collection and processing, and the relevant legal or operational storage requirements. Further information on data storage can be found at: https://de-de.facebook.com/privacy/policy?section_id=0-WhatIsThePrivacy

Automated decision-making in individual cases, including profiling*
You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. This does not apply if the decision

- is authorised by Union or Member State law to which we are subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests; or
- with your express consent.
This results from Art. 22 para. 1, 2 GDPR.
However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR, unless Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a or g GDPR applies and appropriate measures have been taken to protect the rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests.
In the cases referred to in (1) and (3), we will take appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests, including, at a minimum, the right to request that the controller involve a person, to state your point of view, and to challenge the decision.
