Instagram

To advertise our products and services and to communicate with interested parties or customers, we operate a corporate presence on the Instagram platform.



On this social media platform we are jointly responsible with Facebook Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2 Ireland.



The data protection officer of Instagram can be reached via a contact form:

https://www.facebook.com/help/contact/540977946302970

We have regulated the joint responsibility in an agreement regarding the respective obligations in terms of the DSGVO.

This agreement, from which the mutual obligations arise, can be accessed via the following link:

https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/page_controller_addendum

The legal basis for the processing of personal data that is carried out and subsequently reproduced is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.

We have a legitimate interest in the analysis, communication, sales and promotion of our products and services.

The legal basis may also be the user's consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO to the platform operator. The user can revoke this consent for the future at any time by notifying the platform operator in accordance with Art. 7 Para. 3 DSGVO.



When our online presence is called up on the Instagram platform, user data (e.g. personal information, IP address etc.) are processed by Facebook Ireland Ltd. as the platform operator in the EU.

This user data is used for statistical information about the use of our company presence on Instagram. Facebook Ireland Ltd. uses this data for market research and advertising purposes as well as to create user profiles.

In the event that the user contacts Instagram, the personal data of the user entered on this occasion will be used to process the request.
