Privacy policy BORBET Facebook fan page
1. General information
Social media has become an integral part of the internet and modern communication. In order to stay in touch with our customers and prospects, we have also set up our own fan page on Facebook. Facebook is a service provided by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA.
We expressly point out that Facebook stores user data (e.g. IP address, preferences and personal interests, behaviour on Facebook pages, personal information stored on Facebook, etc.) and uses it for business purposes.
We have no influence on the processing and further use of this data, as Facebook alone determines how it is processed. The extent to which, where and for how long the data is stored, the extent to which the data is linked and evaluated, and to whom the data is passed on is currently not clear to us. We also have no insight into or influence on deletion periods, i.e. whether and to what extent deletion periods are observed.
Information from Facebook itself about what information is collected can be found in Facebook's privacy policy, which can be viewed here: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/
If you are a Facebook member and logged into your Facebook user account, Facebook can assign your visit to our page to your user account. If you want to prevent Facebook from linking data about your visit to our fan page with your membership data stored on Facebook, you must
– Log out of Facebook before visiting our fan page.
– Delete the cookies stored on your device.
– Close your browser and restart it.
According to Facebook, this will delete all information that could be used to identify you on Facebook.
2. Scope of data collection and storage
You do not need to be a member of Facebook to view the content on our Facebook fan page. However, every time you visit our page, Facebook collects, stores and uses data. The moment you visit our fan page, your browser establishes a connection to a Facebook server. In doing so, data may be transferred to countries outside the European Union. In any case, regardless of whether you are registered with Facebook or not, your IP address is transferred and cookies are set. If you are a Facebook member and logged into your Facebook user account, Facebook can assign your visit to our page to your user account.
The cookies used include session cookies, which are deleted when the browser is closed, and persistent cookies, which remain on the device until they expire or are deleted by the user. A cookie is a tiny text file that enables a website to recognise a browser. Cookies are stored on the computer when a website is accessed and are retrieved and read the next time the web server is accessed. You can decide for yourself whether and which cookies you want to allow, block or delete via your browser settings. Instructions for various browsers can be found here: Internet Explorer, Firefox, Google Chrome, Google Chrome mobile, Microsoft Edge, Safari, Safari mobile.
Alternatively, you can also install so-called ad blockers, such as Ghostery.
According to Facebook, the cookies used by Facebook serve the purposes of authentication, security, website and product integrity, advertising and measurement, website functionality and services, performance, and analysis and research. Details about the cookies used by Facebook (e.g. cookie names, duration, content collected and purpose) can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/policies/cookies/, where you can follow the links provided. You can adjust your settings regarding which advertisements you want Facebook to show you or no longer show you at https://www.facebook.com/about/basics/advertising and http://www.youronlinechoices.com.
You can manage your preferences regarding usage-based online advertising at the above link. If you object to usage-based online advertising from a specific provider using the preference manager, this only applies to the specific business data collection via the web browser you are currently using. Preference management is cookie-based. Deleting all browser cookies will also remove the preferences you have set using the preference manager.
We only store personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected. In the context of a business relationship with you, we store your personal data for as long as the business relationship lasts, including the initiation and execution of a contract and the regular limitation period. In addition, we store the data if and to the extent that we are subject to statutory retention obligations. These may arise, for example, from the German Commercial Code (HGB) or the German Fiscal Code (AO).
If you have given us your consent for a processing operation, the data related to the granting of consent will be stored until revoked or, at the latest, for the duration of the processing operation and, after its completion, within the framework of the limitation period.
Automated decision-making, including profiling in accordance with Art. 22 GDPR, does not take place.
3. Facebook Insights
We use the Facebook Insights function for statistical analysis purposes. In this context, we receive anonymised data about the users of our Facebook fan page. This does not allow us to draw any conclusions about your identity. For further information, please refer to Facebook's cookie policy.
4. Disclosure and use of personal data
If you interact on Facebook, Facebook will of course also have access to your data. Facebook is located in an unsafe third country where the level of data protection is lower. Facebook is subject to the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield to ensure an adequate level of data protection according to European standards. You can view the certificate here: https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000GnywAAC&status=Active
Implementing Decision (EU) 2016/1250 of the European Commission of 12 July 2016 recognises the level of protection provided by the EU-US Privacy Shield as equivalent to that provided by the Union in this regard.
5. Legal bases
If processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override the former interest, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR is the legal basis for processing. We see our legitimate interest in data processing in the presentation of our company and our products and services for your information and, in particular, in the provision of modern communication options for and with you.
