Facebook Pixel, Custom Audiences and Facebook Conversion

In our online activities, we use the so-called “Facebook pixel” due to our legitimate interests in the analysis, optimisation and economical operation of our online offers. “Facebook pixel” is a product of the social network Facebook, Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA or, if you are in the EU, Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Canal Grande, Canal Grande, Dublin 2, Ireland (“Facebook”).

Facebook is certified under the Privacy Shield agreement and thus offers a guarantee to comply with European levels of data protection (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active).

Using Facebook Pixel, it is possible for Facebook to identify visitors to our online offers as a target group for displaying advertisements (so-called Facebook ads). Therefore, we use Facebook Pixel to show Facebook ads to users who have shown interest in our online offers, or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interest in certain items or products based on their visited web pages) that we send to Facebook (so-called “custom audiences”). Using Facebook Pixel, we also want to ensure that our Facebook ads are in accordance with users’ potential interests. Using Facebook Pixel, we are able to monitor the impact of Facebook ads for statistics and market research, allowing us to see whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook ad (so-called “conversion”).

Data processing by Facebook is part of Facebook’s data use policy. General guidelines for displaying Facebook ads can be found in Facebook’s data use policy: https://www.facebook.com/policy.php. For specific information and details on Facebook Pixel and how it works, visit the help section on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/business/help/651294705016616.

The right to supplement

– you object to a balance of interests that we have made based on legitimate interest and your reason for the objection weighs heavier than our legitimate interest;

– you object to personal data processing for direct marketing purposes;

– the personal data is processed illegally; or

– the personal data must be erased in order to fulfill a legal obligation covering us.

9.5. We may be prevented from deleting certain personal data due to requirements according to e.g. accounting or consumer law. It may also happen that the treatment is necessary for us to be able to determine, assert or defend legal claims.

The right to limitation

9.6. In some situations, you have the right to request that we limit our processing of your personal data. If the treatment is to be limited, we may only, in addition to the actual storage, process the data in order to establish, enforce or defend legal claims.

9.7. You always have the right to avoid direct marketing and to object to the processing of personal data based on a balance of interests. In order to process your personal data after such an objection, we need to be able to show a justified reason for the current treatment that weighs heavier than your interests, rights or freedoms. Otherwise, we may only process the data to determine, exercise or defend a legal claim.

The right to data portability

9.8. If our processing of your personal data is based on your consent or on the fulfillment of an agreement with you, you have the right to request that the information that concerns you and which you have submitted to us transferred to another data controller (so-called data portability).
