General Information
The following information provides a simple overview of what happens to your personal data when you visit our Facebook and/or Instagram pages. The Facebook and Instagram service is a product provided by Meta Platforms Ireland Limited.
Personal data includes all data with which you can be personally identified.
When you visit our Facebook and/or Instagram pages, which we use to promote our products and services, certain information about you is processed.
Facebook and Instagram share infrastructure, systems, and technology with other Meta Platforms companies (including WhatsApp and Oculus) to provide a certain uniformity across all products used by you from Meta Platforms companies. For these purposes, Facebook & Instagram also process information about you across Meta Platforms companies to the extent permitted by applicable law and in accordance with their terms of use and policies.
Facebook & Instagram share information globally, both internally among Meta Platforms companies and externally with their partners, as well as with those with whom the user connects worldwide and shares something. According to Meta Platforms, these data transfers are necessary to provide the services outlined in the Facebook terms and Instagram terms and to operate globally and provide the user with their products. For further information on the processing of personal data by Facebook, see here, and for Instagram, see here.
Page Insights
Meta Platforms provides us with anonymized statistics and insights for our Facebook and/or Instagram pages, through which we gain insights into the types of actions people take on our page (so-called "Page Insights"). These Page Insights are created based on certain information about individuals who have visited our page.
This processing of personal data is carried out by Meta Platforms and us as joint controllers.
Name and address of the controllers
Joint controllers for the operation of this Facebook page or Instagram page are, within the meaning of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR) and other data protection regulations:
- Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. (hereinafter "Meta Platforms" or "Meta") 4 Grand Canal Square Grand Canal Harbour Dublin 2 Ireland
and
- Rico Wappler - Lederhandschuhmanufaktur Dorfstraße 76 08328 Stützengrün / OT Hundshübel Germany.
You can find the agreement on joint responsibility under Art. 26 GDPR here: https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/page_controller_addendum.
This agreement was provided in this form by Facebook Ireland Ltd. (now renamed to Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd.) and we, as operators of a Facebook Business page or Instagram page, accept it by using Facebook or Instagram. We cannot assess whether this agreement meets the requirements of Art. 26 GDPR.
Information about our Facebook page or Instagram page
We use these pages to promote our products and services and to interact with you as a visitor and user of this Facebook page or Instagram page (building and maintaining contact, acquisition).
Legal basis: The operation of this Facebook/Instagram page and the processing of users' personal data is based on our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR to draw attention to us and our services through modern marketing opportunities and to offer (potential) customers and other interested parties another means of contact. (Consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b) GDPR for the processing of personal data can only be obtained technically by Facebook or Instagram. To our knowledge, Facebook and Instagram currently do not offer such an option.)
Processing of personal data by Facebook
The European Court of Justice (ECJ) ruled on June 5, 2018, that the operator of a Facebook page, together with Facebook, is responsible for the processing of personal data. After the rebranding of Facebook Ireland Limited to Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, this judgment applies to Meta Platforms. Since Instagram is operated by Meta Platforms, the judgment can be extended to Instagram as well.
We are aware that Meta Platforms processes user data for the following purposes:
- Providing, personalizing, and improving their products
- Providing measurements, analytics, and other business services
- Providing personalized advertising
- Promoting protection, integrity, and security
- Communicating with users
- Research and innovation for social purposes
Meta Platforms uses cookies to store and further process this information, which is stored on users' various devices. If the user has a Facebook or Instagram profile and is logged in, storage and analysis also take place across devices.
Meta Platforms shares information globally, both internally among Meta Platforms companies and externally with their partners, as well as with accounts with which the user connects worldwide and shares something. According to Meta Platforms, these data transfers are necessary to provide the services outlined in the Facebook terms of use and Instagram terms of use and to operate globally and provide the user with their products.
Meta Platforms uses standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission (https://www.facebook.com/help/566994660333381) and, for data transfers from the EEA to the USA and other countries, relies on adequacy decisions issued by the European Commission regarding certain countries.
The European Commission has only partially classified the USA as a so-called safe third country since, from its perspective, the level of data protection prevailing there is not sufficiently high by default.
