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

The application serves the purpose of specifically addressing visitors to the website with interest-based advertising on the social network Facebook. For this purpose, the Facebook remarketing tag has been implemented on the website. Through this tag, a direct connection to the Facebook servers is established when visiting the website. This transmits to the Facebook server which of our pages you have visited. Facebook assigns this information to your personal Facebook user account. If you visit the social network Facebook, personalized, interest-based Facebook ads will then be displayed to you. Your data may be transferred to the USA.
