Privacy information for the visitors of our fan page

 

If you visit our fan page “Inspiration by Wienerberger” on Facebook, we will process personal data related with this visit, irrespective of whether you are registered or logged in on Facebook or not. Fan pages are user accounts that can be set up by private individuals or companies. This fan page allows us to present our company to Facebook users and people who visit our fan page and to communicate with these people. The data provided directly by you and by Facebook will be used exclusively for the purpose of customer and prospective customer communication as a legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6 paragraph 1 point (f) GDPR, in order to be able to offer you the information most interesting to you. 

Facebook provides fan page operators with the “Page Insights” function, which lets us have anonymized statistical data about the users and visitors of our fan page. These so-called “Page-Insights” are summarized statistics that are created based on certain actions (so-called “events”) and logged by Facebook when users and visitors interact with our fan page and its associated content.

This data is collected via the help of so-called cookies. These are small text files that are stored by Facebook via the browser on a storage medium of the device used by the website visitor (PC, notebook, tablet, smartphone, etc.). This information is retrieved during later visits to the website and allows the website to recognize the user device. The information stored in the cookies is received, recorded and processed by Facebook in a personalized form.

The use of cookies is intended on the one hand to improve the advertising systems of Facebook. On the other hand, the use of cookies allows Facebook to provide us with statistics that enable us to control and improve our marketing activities.

By setting up the fan page, we contribute to the processing of the personal data of the visitors to our fan page, irrespective of whether they are registered or logged in to Facebook or not. Although Facebook provides us with data collected using cookies exclusively in anonymous form, the compilation of these statistics is based on the previous processing of personal data. As the operator of the fan page, we are therefore involved in the determination of the purposes and means of processing the personal data of the visitors to our fan page and are therefore joint controllers with Facebook for this processing in accordance with Art 26 GDPR. The joint controllership covers the processing of your data for the purpose of creating “page views” in connection with a visit or other interaction with our fan page or its associated content. We concluded a joint controllership agreement with Facebook in accordance with Art 26 GDPR, in which Facebook is obligated, among other duties, to provide information in accordance with Art 13 GDPR and to exercise the data subject rights. 

The main content of the agreement between the joint controllers is provided by Facebook Ireland and may be found at the following link: https://facebook.com/legal/terms/information_about_page_insights_data.

Depending on the action (“event”) that triggers a log, Facebook provides us with the following categories of data in anonymous form:

People’s actions:

• Viewing a page, post, video, story, or other content associated with a page 

• Interacting with a story 

• Following or unfollowing a page 

• Liking or unliking a page or post

We do not have access to personal data that is processed in the context of “events”, but to the summarized page views in the form of an anonymized statistical analysis. Since we do not have access to personal data, we cannot share them with third parties. For information on the legal basis of the data processing, any recipients and any transfer of your data to a third country by Facebook, please check the privacy policy (https://www.facebook.com/privacy/explanation) and cookie guidelines (https://www.facebook.com/policies/cookies/) by Facebook.
