III. PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA BY FACEBOOK
How Facebook uses the data from visits to Facebook pages for its own purposes, to what extent activities on the Facebook page are assigned to individual users, how long Facebook stores this data and whether data from a visit to the Facebook page is passed on to third parties, is not conclusively and clearly stated by Facebook and is not fully known to us. However, we will monitor further developments in this regard and adapt this privacy policy accordingly if necessary. The following information is based on information publicly provided by Facebook regarding the processing of personal data when using Facebook products.
1. Purpose of the data processing
Facebook processes visitors' personal data according to its own specifications for the following purposes:
For more information about Facebook's data processing purposes, please see the Facebook privacy Policy:
https://en-gb.facebook.com/policy.php
Further information on Facebook's legitimate interests with regard to the processing of personal data can be found here:
https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/legal_bases
2. Description and scope of data processing
a) What type of information does Facebook process?
To provide Facebook products, it is necessary for Facebook to process information about visitors. The types of information that Facebook collects depends on how visitors use Facebook products. The following information can be processed by Facebook:
Anything generated and provided by visitors and others, such as information about how the visitor uses Facebook products, information about transactions done on Facebook products, or information about the people, pages, accounts, hashtags, and groups with which the visitor is connected.
Device information such as device properties, identifiers, network and connections, and cookie data.
Partner information that allows advertisers, app developers and publishers to send information to Facebook through the Facebook business tools they use, including social plugins (such as the "Like" button), Facebook login or Facebook pixel. These partners provide Facebook with information about the visitor's activities outside Facebook.
In addition, Facebook uses cookies that are set on the visitor's device when the Facebook page is accessed, regardless of whether the visitor is logged into his Facebook account or not. Facebook also processes the information stored in cookies when a person uses the Facebook services, services provided by other members of the Facebook corporate group, and services provided by other companies that use the Facebook services. In addition, other sites, such as Facebook partners and other third parties, may use cookies on Facebook Services to provide services to Facebook or companies advertising on Facebook. For more information about Facebook's use of cookies, see the Facebook Cookie Policy:
https://en-gb.facebook.com/policies/cookies/
When you access a Facebook page, the IP address assigned to your device is transmitted to Facebook. According to Facebook, this IP address is anonymized (for "German" IP addresses) and deleted after 90 days. In addition, Facebook stores information about its users' devices (e.g. as part of the "registration notification" function); Facebook may thus be able to assign IP addresses to individual users.
If you want to avoid this, you should log out of Facebook or deactivate the function "stay logged in", delete the cookies on your device and close and restart your browser. Thus, information that Facebook can use to identifiy you is deleted. This allows you to use our Facebook page without revealing your Facebook account. When you access the interactive features of the page (like, comment, share, news, etc.), a Facebook login screen appears. After an eventual login, you will again be recognisable for Facebook as a specific user.
For information on how to manage or delete existing information about you, please visit the following Facebook Support pages:

For more information about the type of information that Facebook processes, please see the Facebook Privacy Policy:

b) How is the information processed by Facebook shared with others?
Facebook works with third-party partners who help Facebook deliver and enhance its products or use Facebook business tools to grow business. Facebook may share information with the following third parties:
For more information about the information that Facebook may share with third parties, please see the Facebook Privacy Policy:
https://en-gb.facebook.com/about/privacy
c) How does Facebook process and transmit data as part of its global services?
Facebook shares information worldwide, both internally between Facebook companies and externally with its partners, as well as with those individuals or organisations with whom the visitor connects around the world and with whom the visitor shares something. Data may also be transferred to and processed in the USA or other third countries that do not have an adequate level of data protection. In this regard, Facebook uses standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission or relies on the European Commission's adequacy decisions regarding certain countries.
For more information about Facebook data submissions, please see the Facebook privacy Policy:
https://en-gb.facebook.com/about/privacy
3. Data removal and storage duration
Facebook stores data until it is no longer needed to provide its services and Facebook products, or until the user's Facebook account is deleted, whichever comes first. This is a case-by-case determination and depends on such things as the nature of the data, why it is collected and processed, and the relevant legal or operational storage needs.
For more information about data erasure and retention times, please see the Facebook privacy Policy:
