We process your personal data that you provide to us through our digital channels, such as our website, mobile app or via social media.
Below we explain what processing takes place in connection with our social media appearances.
Facebook fan page
Controller
In case you provide us with data, which is also or exclusively processed by Facebook, Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour Dublin 2, Ireland, is the controller for data processing, in accordance with the GDPR, in addition to or instead of us. For this purpose, we have concluded an agreement with Facebook pursuant to Art. 26 GDPR on joint controllership for data processing (Controller Addendum). This agreement specifies which data processing operations we or Facebook are responsible for when you visit our Facebook fan page. See the following link to consult this agreement: https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/page_controller_addendum.
Since a transfer of personal data by Facebook to the U.S. is made to Facebook Inc. among others, further appropriate safeguards are required to ensure the level of data protection under the GDPR. To ensure this, the provider uses standard contractual clauses in accordance with Art. 46 Para. 2 lit. c GDPR. These oblige Facebook in the U.S. to process the data according to the level of protection in Europe.
If you, as a visitor to the site, wish to exercise your rights (access, rectification, erasure, restriction, data portability, complaint with a supervisory authority, objection or withdrawal), you can contact both, Facebook and us.
