Information on the fan page
The Press and Public Relations Department of the City of Salzgitter (City of Salzgitter) uses the technical platform and services of Facebook Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland for the information service offered here.
The City of Salzgitter would like to point out that you use this Facebook page and its functions on your own responsibility. This applies in particular to the use of the interactive functions (e.g. commenting, sharing, rating).
Legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for the processing of data after interaction with the content of the Facebook fan page of the City of Salzgitter is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e GDPR in conjunction with § 3 NDSG and, if consent has been given, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.
Purposes of data processing
The public relations work of municipalities is of great importance, as it is their responsibility to provide citizens with comprehensive information and thus contribute to the pluralistic formation of opinion and will.
The operation of the City of Salzgitter's Facebook page is important for balanced public relations work. The associated processing of your data when you visit the page is done for this purpose.
Statistical studies show that the use of media and information behavior is changing. Internet providers are being used more and more for information. One of the aims of the City of Salzgitter's public relations work is to provide information within the framework of its constitutional mandate.
The City of Salzgitter uses Facebook alongside other information channels. This gives interested parties the opportunity to find out about the work of the City of Salzgitter and make contact in different places, but always with the same quality. You can find more information about our services here: www.salzgitter.de.
Processing of personal data by Facebook
When you visit this Facebook page, Facebook collects, among other things, your IP address and other information that is stored on your PC in the form of cookies. This information is used to provide the operators of the Facebook fan pages with anonymized statistical information about the use of the Facebook page. Facebook provides more information on this at the following link: http://de-de.facebook.com/help/pages/insights (opens in a new tab)
The data collected about you in this context is processed by Facebook Ltd. and may be transferred to countries outside the European Union. Facebook describes what information Facebook receives and how it is used in its data usage guidelines. There you will also find information on how to contact Facebook and the settings options for advertisements. The data usage guidelines are available at the following link: http: //de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy. (opens in a new tab) You can find Facebook's complete data policy here: https://de-de.facebook.com/full_data_use_policy (opens in a new tab)
When you access a Facebook page, the IP address assigned to your end device is transmitted to Facebook. According to Facebook, this IP address is anonymized. Facebook also stores information about the end devices of its users (e.g. as part of the "login notification" function); this may enable Facebook to assign IP addresses to individual users.
If you are currently logged in to Facebook, a cookie with your Facebook ID is stored on your device. This enables Facebook to understand that you have visited this page and how you have used it. This also applies to all other Facebook pages. Facebook buttons integrated into websites enable Facebook to record your visits to these websites and assign them to your Facebook profile. This data can be used to tailor content or advertising to you.
If you want to avoid this, you should log out of Facebook or deactivate the "stay logged in" function, delete the cookies on your device and close and restart your browser. In this way, Facebook information that can be used to identify you directly will be deleted. This allows you to use the Facebook fan page without revealing your Facebook ID. When you access interactive functions on the page (like, comment, share, message, etc.), a Facebook login screen appears. After logging in, you will once again be recognizable to Facebook as a user. Information on how you can manage or delete existing information about you can be found on the following Facebook pages: https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy# (opens in a new tab)
According to Facebook, it stores data until it is no longer needed to provide the services and Facebook products or until the respective account is deleted, whichever comes first. This depends on the circumstances of the individual case, in particular the type of data, why it is collected and processed and the relevant legal or operational storage requirements. You can find more information on the storage of data at: https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy (opens in a new tab)
Facebook Page Insights
Facebook processes a range of personal data of page visitors for its own purposes in its so-called Page Insights. The processing takes place regardless of whether they are registered with Facebook or not and regardless of whether page visitors are members of the Facebook network. Even those who access the Facebook pages without being registered or logged in to Facebook have the option of influencing the scope of data processing by means of a cookie banner set by Facebook. You can find more information about Facebook cookies at: https://www.facebook.com/policies/cookies/ (opens in a new tab)
Page Insights are summarized statistics that are created based on certain "events" that are logged by the Facebook servers when people interact with pages and the content associated with them. Page operators themselves do not have access to the personal data that is processed as part of "events", but only to the summarized, anonymized page insights. You can find more information at: https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/page_controller_addendum (opens in a new tab)
Rights of the data subject
If personal data is processed, you have the right to information, correction, objection, transferability and deletion of the data in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation. Facebook Ireland has undertaken, in accordance with the Page Insights Supplement, to respond to requests from data subjects in accordance with Facebook's obligations under the Page Insights Supplement (available at https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/page_controller_addendum) (opens in a new tab).
Inquiries about data processing when visiting a Facebook fan page are forwarded by us to Facebook in accordance with the Insights Page Supplement.
