Facebook Ireland and we are jointly responsible for the collection of your data when the service is integrated and the transmission of this data to Facebook. The basis for this is an agreement between us and Facebook Ireland on the joint processing of personal data, in which the respective responsibilities are specified. The agreement can be accessed at https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum. According to this, we are particularly responsible for fulfilling the information obligations according to Art. 13, 14 GDPR, for compliance with the security requirements of Art. 32 GDPR with regard to the correct technical implementation and configuration of the service and for compliance with the obligations under Art. 33, 34 GDPR, insofar as a breach of the protection of personal data affects our obligations under the agreement on joint processing.

This sends the Facebook server information about which of our pages you have visited. Facebook assigns this information to your personal Facebook user account. When you visit the social network Facebook, you will then be shown personalized, interest-based Facebook ads. Your data may be transferred to the USA.

Plug-ins and Others

use of social plug-ins

We use social network plug-ins on our website. The integration of social plug-ins and the data processing that takes place in this way serves the purpose of optimizing the advertising for our products.

When social plug-ins are integrated, a link is established between your computer and the servers of the social network provider, and the plug-in is displayed on the page by sending a message to your browser, provided you have expressly consented to this. Both your IP address and information about which of our pages you have visited are transmitted to the provider's servers. This applies regardless of whether you are registered or logged in to the social network. Data is also transmitted to unregistered or unlogged users. If you are connected to one or more of your social network accounts at the same time, the information collected can also be assigned to your corresponding profiles. When you use the plug-in functions (e.g. by pressing the button), this information is also assigned to your user account. You can prevent this assignment by logging out of your social media accounts before visiting our website and before activating the buttons.

The social networks named below are integrated into our website using social plug-ins. Further information on the scope and purpose of the collection and use of data as well as your rights and options for protecting your privacy can be found in the linked data protection notices of the providers.

When you click on the buttons, a pop-up window appears in which you can log in to the respective provider using your data. Only after you have actively logged in will a direct connection to the social networks be established.

By logging in, you consent to the transfer of your data to the respective social media provider. This includes, among other things, your IP address and information about which of our pages you have visited. If you are connected to one or more of your social network accounts at the same time, the information collected will also be assigned to your corresponding profiles. You can only prevent this assignment by logging out of your social media accounts before visiting our website and before activating the buttons. The social networks named below are integrated using the "Shariff" function.
