Social Media

Facebook Pixel, Custom Audiences and Facebook Remarketing

Our online information contains the so-called "Facebook pixel" from the social network Facebook – which is operated by Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA, or if you are a resident of South Africa, Facebook Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Facebook"). We use the Facebook pixel for our legitimate interests and for the purpose of analysis, optimisation and economic operation of our online information.

Facebook is certified under the Privacy Shield agreement and thereby offers a guarantee of compliance with South African data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000GnywAAC&status=A).

With the help of the Facebook pixel, it is possible for Facebook to determine the visitors to our online pages as a target group for the display of advertisements (so-called "Facebook ads"). Accordingly, we use the Facebook pixel to display the Facebook ads placed by us only to those Facebook users who have also shown an interest in our online information or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products determined on the basis of the websites visited) that we transmit to Facebook (so-called "Custom Audiences"). With the help of the Facebook pixel, we also want to ensure that our Facebook ads correspond to the potential interest of the users and do not have a harassing effect.

With the help of the Facebook pixel, we can also track the effectiveness of the Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes by seeing whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook ad (so-called "conversion"). The processing of the data by Facebook takes place within the framework of Facebook's data use policy. Accordingly, general information on the display of Facebook ads, in Facebook's data usage policy: https://www.facebook.com/policy.php. Specific information and details on the Facebook pixel and how it works can be found in Facebook's help section: https://www.facebook.com/business/help/651294705016616.

You can object to the collection and use of your data by the Facebook pixel to display Facebook ads. To adjust which types of ads are displayed to you within Facebook, you can go to the page set up by Facebook and follow the instructions there on the settings for usage-based advertising: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads. The settings are platform independent, i.e. they are applied to all devices, such as desktop computers or mobile devices. You can also opt out of the use of cookies for reach measurement and advertising purposes via the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page (https://optout.networkadvertising.org/) and additionally the US website (https://www.aboutads.info/choices) or the European website (https://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices/). (2021-03-08nr)

We use social plug-ins from various social networks on our website. These plug-ins are functions of the respective social networks via which you are able, for example, to share the contents of our website with your contacts in the social networks or recommend these contents to others. The social plug-ins can be recognized by the logo of the respective social network.

We use social plug-ins from the following operators of social networks.
• Facebook: Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA
• Twitter: Twitter Inc., Folsom St., Suite 600, San Francisco, CA 94107,USA
• LinkedIn: LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, California 94043, USA
• Instagram: 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA

All social plug-ins are deactivated on our website as a default setting so that no data will be transmitted to the providers of the social networks by calling up our website. If you activate an initially deactivated social plug-in and use the functionality of the corresponding social networks, you explicitly give your consent that data will be transferred to the operator of the social network from this point onwards. We have no influence on the extent of the data captured in this way by the providers of the social networks.

According to our knowledge, the following data is transmitted.
• IP address
• User identification if you are registered with the corresponding service
• Previously visited page (referrer) if you have followed a link
• Type and settings of browser
• Installed plug-ins such as Adobe® Flash® or Adobe® Reader®
• URL of the page on which the social plug-in is integrated
• The date and time of the visit
• Technical data of the operating system
• Site related information
• Cookies.

Through incorporation of the social plug-ins, the operators of the social networks receive the information that you have retrieved the respective pages of our Internet presence. If you are simultaneously logged into one of the social networks, the operator will be able to allocate the pages called up to your account with the respective social network. If, in addition to this, you interact with the social plug-ins, e.g. click on the “Like” button for Facebook, the corresponding information will be transmitted to the respective social network.

Even if you are not a member of the social networks named, there is a possibility that they will detect and save your IP address via the social plug-in. Please consult the data protection notes of the social networks for details of the purpose and extent of data processing, acquisition and use by the social networks and on your rights and setting options in this respect.

• for Facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/policy.php
• for Twitter at: www.twitter.com/privacy
• for LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy
• for Instagram: https://help.instagram.com/155833707900388

If you wish, you can permanently activate the social plug-ins of one or more providers. In this case, data will be permanently transmitted to the provider of the social network as soon as you open a page. You can deactivate individual or even all social plug-ins at any time.

Furthermore, you may also be able to stop data transmission to social networks by technical means. To do this, adjust the security settings in the web browser you are using. Please refer to the “Help” section in your web browser.

LinkedIn Insight Tag and LinkedIn Ads

We use the conversion tracking technology and the retargeting function of LinkedIn Corporation (LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland) on our website. LinkedIn is certified under the Privacy Shield agreement and thereby offers a guarantee of compliance with European data protection law.

In other words: This website uses the Insight Tag from LinkedIn. The provider of this service is LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland. With the aid of this technology, visitors to this website can be served personalised ads on LinkedIn. Furthermore, the possibility arises to create anonymous reports on the performance of the ads as well as information on website interaction (conversion measurement). For this purpose, the LinkedIn Insight Tag is embedded on this website, which establishes a connection to the LinkedIn server if you visit this website and are logged into your LinkedIn account at the same time.

The LinkedIn Insight Tag also provides a retargeting feature that allows us to display targeted off-site advertising to visitors to our website, which LinkedIn states does not identify the ad recipient.

In other words: The data collected by LinkedIn cannot be assigned to specific individuals by us as the website operator. See LinkedIn's privacy policy at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy#choices-oblig for more information about data collection and use, as well as your privacy options and rights. If you are logged in to LinkedIn, you can deactivate the data collection at any time using the following link and an opt-out cookie: www.linkedin.com/psettings/enhanced-advertising. The following link takes you to a page where you can object to the analysis of usage behaviour as well as targeted advertising by LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/guest-controls/retargeting-opt-out

The opt-out cookie is only valid in this browser and only for our website and is stored on your device. If you delete the cookies in this browser, you must set the opt-out cookie again. The data processing is justified as we have a legitimate interest in displaying personalised advertising to you and evaluating the use of our website.

If a corresponding consent has been requested (e.g. consent to store cookies), the consent can be revoked at any time. Data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contracts. Details can be found here: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy)
