Processing of Personal Data by Facebook

In its judgment of 5 June 2018, the European Court of Justice (ECJ) ruled that the operator of a Facebook page is jointly responsible with Facebook for the processing of personal data.

We understand that Facebook processes user data for the following purposes:

  • Advertising (analysis, creation of personalized advertising)
  • Creation of user profiles
  • Market research.

Facebook uses cookies to store and further process this information, i.e. small text files that are stored on the various end devices of the users. If the user has a Facebook profile and is logged in to it, it is also stored and analyzed across devices.

Facebook's legal basis for the processing of the data can be found here:

The transfer and further processing of users' personal data in third countries, e.g. the USA, and the associated possible risks for users cannot be ruled out by us as the site operator.

 

Statistical data

Statistical data of different categories can be accessed via the so-called "Insights" of the Facebook page. These statistics are generated and provided by Facebook. As the operator of this site, we have no influence on its generation and presentation. We cannot disable this function or prevent the generation and processing of data. For a selectable period of time and for the categories fans, subscribers, reached persons and interacting persons, the following data is provided to us by Facebook in relation to our Facebook page:

It also provides information about the Facebook groups linked to our Facebook page. Due to the constant development of Facebook, the availability and preparation of the data changes, so that we refer to the above-mentioned data protection declaration of Facebook for further details.

We use this aggregated data to make the contributions and activities on our Facebook page more attractive to users. For example, we use the distribution by age and gender for an adapted address and the preferred visiting hours of the users for a temporally optimized planning of the contributions. Information about the type of end devices used by visitors helps us to adapt the contributions visually and optimize them for the users. In accordance with the Facebook Terms of Use, which each user has agreed to when creating a Facebook profile, we may identify the subscribers and fans of the site and view their profiles and other shared information about them.
