Meta and we are jointly responsible for the collection of your data when the service is integrated and the transmission of this data to Meta. The basis for this is an agreement between us and Meta on the joint processing of personal data, in which the respective responsibilities are defined. The agreement can be accessed at https://de-de.facebook.com/legal/terms/businesstools . According to this, we are particularly responsible for fulfilling the information obligations in accordance with Art. 13, 14 GDPR, for compliance with the security requirements of Art. 32 GDPR with regard to the correct technical implementation and configuration of the service and for compliance with the obligations under Art. 33, 34 GDPR, insofar as a breach of the protection of personal data affects our obligations under the agreement on joint processing.

The purpose of the application is to target website visitors with interest-based advertising on the social networks Facebook and Instagram.

When you visit the social networks Facebook or Instagram, you will then be shown personalized, interest-based ads.
The application also serves the purpose of creating conversion statistics.

By logging in, you consent to the transfer of your data to the respective social media provider. This includes, among other things, your IP address and information about which of our pages you have visited. If you are connected to one or more of your social network accounts at the same time, the information collected will also be assigned to your corresponding profiles. You can only prevent this assignment by logging out of your social media accounts before visiting our website and before activating the buttons. The social networks named below are integrated using the "Shariff" function.
