Data Processing
When you visit our Fan Page, certain information is processed, including your IP address as well as information stored on your device in the form of cookies. Through this information, you can be identified and your online user behavior can be tracked ("tracking"). As the operator of the Fan Page, we can have parts of this data provided to us by Meta in the form of statistical evaluations about the users and use of our Fan Page.
This includes, for example, the total number of page views of our Fan Page and the reach of individual posts. We receive these evaluations regardless of whether we order this data or actually use it. Meta provides further information on these statistics here. If you "like" our Fan Page by clicking the "Like" button, this data is also processed and linked to your Facebook account.
We are jointly responsible with Meta for this processing of personal data. The legal basis for this data processing, pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, is our legitimate interest in adapting the content of our Fan Page to the wishes of Fan Page visitors and/or increasing the visibility of our Fan Page, as well as Meta's interest in optimizing its advertising offerings.
We are not certain whether we have a comprehensive overview of the data that Meta processes when a Fan Page is visited. The same applies to the question of how long Meta stores your data. We also do not know to what extent Meta uses the collected data to link it to your Facebook account or other profiles.
Transfer of Data to Recipients Outside Europe
The data collected when visiting our Fan Page is processed by Meta and may be transferred to countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA), for example within the Meta group to Meta Platforms Inc. in the USA, the parent company of Meta Platforms Ltd. The data transfer is subject to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. Further information on how Meta processes personal data can be found here and here.
Use of Meta's Messenger Service
If you send us a message via Meta's Messenger service, we process the content of this message as well as your sender information, in particular your name and the address of your Meta account.
The legal basis for this processing, pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, is our legitimate interest in responding to your inquiry.
Data Subject Rights
To the extent provided by law under the GDPR, you have the following rights with regard to personal data concerning you:
• Right to information,
• Right to rectification,
• Right to erasure,
• Right to restriction of processing,
• Right to object to processing,
• Right to data portability.
If we process your personal data on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR), you may object to this processing. The cases in which we base processing on our legitimate interest can be found in this privacy policy.
Insofar as we are solely responsible for the processing of your data, you can contact us or our data protection officer to assert your right to object and other data subject rights (e.g. by e-mail, see contact details above). In cases where we are jointly responsible with Meta for the processing of your personal data, you can also contact Meta to assert your data subject rights. Under our agreement with Meta, Meta assumes all obligations relating to the exercise of your data subject rights concerning the processing of personal data for which we are jointly responsible with Meta. We would therefore ask you to contact Meta in this regard. Of course, you may also assert your rights against us directly.
If you exercise your right to object, we ask you to explain the reasons why your personal data should not be processed. In the event of a justified objection, the situation will be reviewed and the data processing will either be discontinued or adjusted accordingly, or you will be shown the compelling legitimate grounds on which the processing will continue.
Of course, you may object to the processing of your personal data for marketing purposes at any time, without any need to state reasons.
To do so, please contact us or our data protection officer (e.g. by e-mail, contact details above). This will not incur any additional costs for you.
