Facebook-Pixel, Custom Audiences and Facebook-Conversion
Due to our legitimate interest in analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offers we employ the so-called Facebook Pixel, curtesy of the social network Facebook, which is operated by Facebook Inc. (“Facebook“) 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA, or if you are located in the EU, Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland. Facebook is certified under the Privacy-Shield-Agreement and thereby guarantees to abide by the European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000GnywAAC&status=Active).
Facebook Pixel allows Facebook to determine the viewers of our online offers as a target audience for advertisements (“Facebook-Ads”). Accordingly, we implement Facebook-Pixel to only show our Facebook-Ads to those Facebook users who have shown an interest in our online offers or to those who exhibit certain characteristics (such as an interest in certain topics or products, which are determined by the websites these individuals visit). We then transmit this information (so-called “Custom Audiences”) to Facebook. With the help of Facebook-Pixel we would also like to ensure that our Facebook-Ads match the user’s potential interests and do not have an obtrusive effect. Facebook-Pixel further assists us in evaluating the effectiveness of our Facebook-Ads for statistical as well as a market research purposes by allowing us to see whether users were redirected to our website by clicking on a Facebook-Ad (so-called “Conversion”).
We also make use of a Facebook Inc. process called “Custom Audience from File”. In this case the e-mail addresses of the newsletter recipients are uploaded to Facebook. The upload process is encrypted and serves the sole purpose of determining the recipients of our Facebook-Ads. By doing so, we want to ensure that our ads are only shown to users who exhibit an interest in our details and services.
Facebook’s data processing takes place within the scope of Facebook’s data usage directive. Therefore, you may find general information on the presentation of Facebook-Ads in Facebook’s data usage directive: https://www.facebook.com/policy.php. Specific information and details regarding Facebook-Pixel and its operating mode may be obtained within Facebook’s Help Center: https://www.facebook.com/business/help/651294705016616. You may also object to data collection via Facebook-Pixel and the usage of your data for the presentation of Facebook-Ads. To determine which commercial ads you would like to see on Facebook, we may refer you to the relevant Facebook page and suggest that you follow the guidelines on managing the settings of usage-based ads: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads. These settings are platform-independent and thus apply to all devices, such as desktop computers or mobile devices.
