Privacy Information for Visitors of our Instagram Account

 

Our Instagram appearance allows us to present our company to the users of this network and to communicate with them. The data provided directly by you and by Instagram will be used exclusively for the purpose of customer and prospective customer communication as a legitimate interest in the sense of Article 6 paragraph 1 point (f) GDPR, in order to be able to offer you information most interesting to you.

Instagram is part of the Facebook group of companies and shares the infrastructure, systems and technology with Facebook Ireland and other Facebook companies. 

In case you visit our Instagram page, Instagram and its parent company Facebook collects your IP address and other personal information using cookies. Cookies are small text files that are stored by Instagram via the browser on a storage medium of the device used by the website visitor (PC, notebook, tablet, smartphone, etc.). This information is retrieved during subsequent visits to the website and enables the website to recognize the user device. The information stored in the cookies is received, recorded and processed by Facebook in a personalized form.

The use of cookies is intended on the one hand to improve the advertising systems of Facebook. On the other hand, the use of cookies allows Facebook to provide us with statistics that enable us to control and improve our marketing activities.

If you are logged in to your Instagram account and visit our Instagram profile, this may be associated with your profile. We have no influence on the data collection and further processing by Instagram, to what extent this happens and how long this data is stored.

By creating an Instagram account, we contribute to the processing of our visitors’ personal information, irrespective of whether they are registered or logged in to Instagram. Although Instagram provides us with the data collected through cookies exclusively in anonymous form, the compilation of these statistics is based on the previous processing of personal data. As the operator of the Instagram account, we are therefore involved in the determination of the purposes and means of processing the personal data of the visitors to our profile and are therefore joint controllers with Instagram for this processing in accordance with Art. 26 GDPR. The joint controllership covers the processing of your data processed for the purpose of creating “page views” in connection with a visit or other interaction with our Instagram site or its associated content. The main content of the agreement between the joint controllers is provided by Facebook Ireland.

If you are logged in with Instagram, you agree to Instagram's terms of use, privacy and cookie policies and to Instagram's processing of your personal data. Please note that we have no control over Instagram's terms of use, privacy and cookie policies. If you are not registered with Instagram, Instagram may still perform statistical analysis of your personal data when you access our Instagram profile and provide us with anonymized statistics on this. How long a cookie remains on your computer or mobile device depends on whether it is a “persistent” or “session” cookie. Session cookies only remain on your device until you stop browsing. Persistent cookies remain on your computer or mobile device until they expire or are deleted. The cookies set by Instagram are stored for up to ten years after these cookies are set or updated.  Cookies already stored can be deleted at any time. Furthermore, you can prevent the installation of cookies by adjusting your browser settings accordingly.

We do not have access to the data stored in the cookies in personal form and therefore can not pass them on to third parties in personal form. For information on the legal basis of the data processing, any recipients and any transfer of your data to a third country by Instagram, please refer to Instagram’s data protection information (https://help.instagram.com/519522125107875) and the Instagram cookie guidelines (https://help.instagram.com/1896641480634370?ref=ig).
