Using Facebook Custom Audience

The website uses the function “Custom Audiences” of Facebook Inc. (“Facebook”). This allows users of the Site to display interest-based advertisements (“Facebook Ads”) when visiting the Facebook social network or other sites that[1]also use the process. We are thus pursuing the interest of a needs-oriented design of our online offering in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit f) DSGVO.

Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with the Facebook server. We have no influence on the extent and further uses of the data collected by Facebook through the use of this tool and therefore inform you according to our state of knowledge: through the integration of Facebook Custom Audiences, Facebook receives the information that you have accessed our website or clicked on an advertisement from us. If you are registered with a Facebook service, Facebook can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Facebook or have not logged in, it is possible for the provider to find out and store your IP address and other identification features.

We do not transmit (hashed) email addresses to Facebook and do not perform any automatic advanced matching of any kind that would transmit additional user information.
