  • When a user visits our Facebook page, Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland (hereinafter ‘Facebook’) processes your personal data as the data controller. Facebook uses cookies, i.e., small text files that are stored on the users’ various end devices, to store and further process this information. This is done regardless of whether the user has a Facebook ac-count or not, or whether the user is logged into the Facebook account. If the user has a Facebook profile and is logged in, storage and analysis take place across devices. The Facebook Privacy Policy provides all further information on Facebook’s data processing activities and the relevant circum-stances. You can view the policy at: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/

    We ourselves have no knowledge of the data that Facebook processes or the individual data pro-cessing operations that Facebook performs. In particular, this information is not shared with us – at least as regards personal data. In this context, like any other Facebook user, we can only access the information you disclose in your profile.

    You can control the use of the data collected by Facebook for interest-based advertising and exer-cise your right to opt out by setting the appropriate preferences at the following address:

    Facebook is also a member of the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance (EDAA). This means that you can also change the corresponding settings at http://www.youronlinechoices.comto suit your preferences.

  • The operation of this Facebook page, including the processing of personal user data, is generally based on our legitimate interest in providing helpful information in a timely manner and offering a platform where our users and visitors can interact with adesso and vice versa.

    If you contact us, e.g., by leaving a comment on our site or writing us a message, we can take note of it through Facebook and will reply to you via the same communication channel if you made a request. In accordance with the Facebook Terms of Use, which each user agrees to when creating a Facebook profile, we may identify subscribers and fans of the site and view their profiles and other shared information.

    The necessary processing of personal data for the purposes described above is in our legitimate interest in maintaining user and customer relations. The legal basis for the processing operations described is therefore provided by Article 6 (1)(f) GDPR.

    We ourselves do not store personal data outside of Facebook. How long personal data is stored by Facebook therefore depends on the general principles as explained in the Facebook Privacy Policy (https://www.facebook.com/privacy/explanation).

Information on the type of end devices used by visitors helps us to adapt the visual design of our contributions accordingly.

    These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in the corresponding processing. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR.
