Your data may be transferred to and processed in third countries outside the EU, in particular Canada and the USA. An adequacy decision of the EU Commission exists for Canada.

Meta and we are joint controllers for the collection of your data that takes place when the service is integrated and for the transmission of this data to Meta. This is based on an agreement between us and Meta on the joint processing of personal data, which sets out the respective responsibilities. The agreement can be accessed at https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/businesstools. According to this agreement, we are responsible in particular for fulfilling the information obligations pursuant to Art. 13, 14 GDPR, for complying with the security requirements of Art. 32 GDPR with regard to the correct technical implementation and configuration of the service, and for complying with the obligations under Art. 33, 34 GDPR insofar as a personal data breach affects our obligations under the joint processing agreement. Meta is responsible for enabling the rights of data subjects pursuant to Art. 15 - 20 GDPR, for complying with the security requirements of Art. 32 GDPR with regard to the security of the service, and for complying with the obligations under Art. 33, 34 GDPR insofar as a personal data breach affects Meta's obligations under the joint processing agreement.
The application serves the purpose of addressing visitors to the website with targeted, interest-based advertising on the social networks Facebook and Instagram. For this purpose, Meta's remarketing tag has been implemented on the website. Via this tag, a direct connection to the Meta servers is established when you visit the website. This transmits to the Meta server which of our pages you have visited. Meta assigns this information to your personal Facebook and/or Instagram user account. When you visit the social networks Facebook or Instagram, you will then be shown personalised, interest-based ads.

Use of Google Ads conversion tracking
We use the online advertising programme "Google Ads" on our website and, in this context, conversion tracking. Google Conversion Tracking is an analytics service of Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; "Google").
When you click on an ad placed by Google, a cookie for conversion tracking is stored on your computer. These cookies have limited validity, do not contain any personal data and are therefore not used for personal identification. If you visit certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognise that you clicked on the ad and were redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked across the websites of Ads customers.
The information obtained with the help of the conversion cookie serves the purpose of creating conversion statistics. This tells us the total number of users who clicked on one of our ads and were redirected to a page bearing a conversion tracking tag. However, we do not receive any information with which users can be personally identified. We use the advanced implementation of Consent Mode (Advanced Consent Mode). In this case, user data is transmitted to Google in the form of "pings" even if consent has not been given. These pings may contain, among other things, the following information: IP address for deriving the IP country (the IP address is not logged), date and time of the page view, URL of the pages visited, user agent, referrer URL (website from which our website was accessed) or information about the triggering of website events such as a conversion. On the basis of this information, Google models usage data in order to carry out a comprehensive usage analysis despite consent being refused.
