Data processing
When you visit our Fan Page, certain information is processed including your IP address and other information which is stored on your PC in the form of cookies. This information enables you to be identified and permits your user behavior on the Internet to be traced (so-called "tracking"). In our capacity as the operator of the Fan Page, Meta may make parts of this data available to us in the form of a statistical evaluation of users and use of our Fan Page.
This may, for example, include the total number of visits to our Fan Page and the reach of individual posts. We receive these evaluations irrespective of whether we order or actually use this data.

We are jointly responsible with Meta for this processing of personal data. Pursuant to Article 6 Paragraph 1 f) GDPR, the legal basis for this data processing is our legitimate interest in adapting the contents of our Fan Page to meet the wishes of its visitors and in enhancing the visibility of our Fan Page and Meta's legitimate interest in optimizing its advertising services.
We are unsure whether we have a comprehensive overview of the data which Meta processes when you visit our Fan Page. The same applies to the question as to the period of time for which Meta stores your data.
