Supplements to data privacy policy for our Facebook-Fanpage

Within the framework of our Facebook-Fanpage (retrievable at: www.facebook.com/kamps.gmbh) it is possible for you to obtain information about our services or get in contact with us and interact with us. Our Facebook-Fanpage is provided on the basis of the agreement concluded with Facebook (Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland) for the joint processing of personal data under article 26 GDPR ("page insights supplement regarding the controller“). Under the agreement we ourselves cannot take and implement decisions regarding the processing of insights data. According to the GDPR, Facebook has the primary responsibility for the processing of insights data and for fulfilling all the obligations arising from the GDPR with regard to the processing of Insights data.

Please note that when you visit the Facebook-Fanpage there may be processing of your data as a user outside the EU. Facebook Inc, which is involved in this processing, has US Privacy Shield certification and has committed itself to compliance with EU data protection standards: https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000GnywAAC&status=Active (Effective 2 November 2018).

Your data can be processed for market research and advertising purposes. For example, user profiles can be created on the basis of the interests revealed by your patterns of use, and the profiles used for advertising displays. What normally happens is that cookies are stored on your computer for that purpose.

The "page insights" function enables us, inside the Facebook framework, to retrieve statistical data of various categories in connection with the use of the Facebook-Fanpage, such as the total number of page visits, "like" clicks, page activities, posting interactions, video views, posting scope, comments, shared contents, replies, gender distribution, origin in terms of country and town, language, visits and clicks in the shop, clicks on route planner and clicks on telephone numbers. We use this information to make our pages more attractive and needs-oriented (e.g. by finding out the right time to publish specific content).

The personal data of users are processed through the operation of the Facebook-Fanpage in order to pursue our legitimate interest in presenting our offers of information in a form oriented to needs and target groups (legal basis: article 6 (1) f) GDPR). Where you are requested by Facebook, as the provider of the platform, to consent to specific data processing, the processing then has the legal basis defined in article 6 (1) a) GDPR.

With regard to the exercise of the rights of users data subjects (i.e. users)  and requests for information, we would point out that these rights can be most effectively asserted at Facebook direct (see https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/information_about_page_insights_data).

Further information on the processing and use of data and on the relevant rights and the use of settings  with a view to protecting your privacy, including the possibility of objecting (opting out), can be found in the Facebook privacy policy at https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/ and in the "Information about page insights data" at https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/information_about_page_insights_data
