Cookies and other storage technologies
Facebook cookies are used on our Facebook page and Instagram profile. These are the responsibility of Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd.
Further information on Facebook's use of cookies can be found in Facebook's privacy policy: https://www.facebook.com/policies/cookies/
Storage of your data at Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd.
If the processing is carried out by Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd., you can always contact Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. directly. This is particularly the case if the processing is carried out within the scope of Page Insights.
Facebook stores data until it is no longer needed to provide the services and Facebook products, or until your account is deleted, whichever comes first. This is determined on a case-by-case basis and depends on factors such as the type of data, why it is collected and processed, and the relevant legal or operational storage requirements. For example, if you search for something on Facebook or Instagram, you can access and delete that request from your search history at any time; however, the log of that search will only be deleted after 6 months. If you submit a copy of your official ID for account verification, Facebook will delete that copy 30 days after verification, unless otherwise specified.
Learn more about deleting content you have shared and cookie data you have received via social plugins.
If you delete your account, Facebook will delete things you have posted, such as your photos and status updates. You will not be able to recover this information afterwards. Information that others have shared about you does not belong to your account and will not be deleted. If you do not want to delete your account but simply want to temporarily stop using the products, you can deactivate your account instead. To delete your account at any time, please go to Facebook Settings or Instagram Settings.
You can contact Facebook using the following form:
Processing under our company's own responsibility
To communicate with you, we process the following personal data on our Facebook page and Instagram profile:
The names, possible usernames, content data (direct messages, comments) received from Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd.
We receive personal data from you in connection with the direct messages you send to us.
Please note that complete encryption of the content of direct messages sent and received via the Messenger platform is currently not guaranteed. We request that you do not send us any personal data via this channel. Please use alternative communication channels to provide us with personal data.
When processing data using the Insights function, we are able to process all of your public profile information when you interact with our posts (likes, comments, sharing of posts) together with Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd.
If you are logged in with your Facebook or Instagram account, additional personal data about you will be processed, which we receive exclusively in anonymised form:
Date and time of an action
Country/city (estimated based on IP address or, for logged-in users, from user profile)
Language code (from the browser's HTTP header and/or language setting)
Age/gender group (from user profile, only for logged-in users)
Previously visited website (from the browser's HTTP header)
Whether the action was performed on a computer or a mobile device (from the browser user agent or app attributes)
Facebook/Instagram user ID
Interactions with our posts or our page (likes, shares, comments) are published by you on Facebook, which is why we receive them indirectly from you.
Anonymised insights data and data from interactions are not personal data within the meaning of the GDPR.
Legal basis for processing under our company's own responsibility
We process your data in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The legitimate interest for data processing is the presentation of our company and our products and services for your information and, in particular, the provision of modern communication options.
Recipients of your data processed under our company's own responsibility
When we process your personal data, the recipients are the employees of our public relations and social media department, as well as the employees responsible for responding to your enquiry.
Otherwise, we will only transfer your personal data to third parties if this is permitted by law or if you have given your consent.
Deletion periods for your data
We process and store your personal data only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or as required by the legal provisions to which our company is subject.
If the purpose of storage no longer applies or a prescribed storage period expires, personal data is routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with legal requirements.
Alternatively, you can also contact us and we will forward your request in such cases – in accordance with our agreement with Facebook pursuant to Art. 26 GDPR.

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from us, to whom the personal data has been provided, provided that the processing is based on consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) GDPR and the processing is carried out by automated means, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in us.
Furthermore, when exercising your right to data portability pursuant to Article 20(1) of the GDPR, you have the right to have personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and provided that this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
