Since the operation of the fan page is a joint responsibility (Art. 26 GDPR) between Facebook Ireland Ltd. and EJOT, a corresponding agreement has been concluded with Facebook Ireland Ltd., which you can view under the following link:
https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/page_controller_addendum
(2) If you use Facebook products such as the EJOT Facebook fan page, Facebook collects and uses the information described in its “Data Policy” under “What kinds of information do we collect?”.

(3) For fan pages, Facebook provides the fan page operators with statistics and insights, which help to obtain knowledge about the types of actions that people undertake on their pages (“page insights”).
(4) EJOT has no influence on whether these statistics and insights are collected by Facebook. According to Facebook, page insights are designed to show important trends without revealing any details about you that could identify you. According to Facebook, it is possible for fan page operators to possibly assign your profile picture to your “Like” information for the fan page if you mark the fan page with “Like” and set your “Like” information for pages to “public”.
(5) Information used for page insights are, for example:
- • go to a page, post or video from a page
- • subscribe or unsubscribe to a page
- • mark a page or a post with "Like" or "Dislike"
- • recommend a page in a post or comment
- • comment on, share or respond to a page post (including the type of reaction)
- • hide a page post or report it as spam
- • click on a link that leads to the page from another page on Facebook or from a website outside of Facebook
- • move the mouse over the name or profile picture of a page to see a preview of the page content
- • click on the website, phone number, "plan routes" button or any other button on a page
- • Information as to whether you are logged on to a computer or mobile device while you visit a page or interact with it or its content

(6) The purpose of operating the EJOT Facebook fan page is to provide a wide range of information from EJOT to the users of the fan page as well as the exchange with and between users. Both the operation of the Facebook fan page and the processing of the data are based on the legitimate interest of EJOT from Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. The legitimate interest arises from marketing and optimization purposes.
(7) Facebook Ireland Ltd. and EJOT have signed an agreement that regulates their respective obligations under the GDPR:
https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/page_controller_addendum
(8) Facebook Ireland Ltd. and EJOT have agreed that Facebook is primarily responsible for providing you with information about the joint processing and for enabling you to exercise your rights under the GDPR. According to the GDPR you have the right to information (Art. 15 GDPR), correction (Art. 16 GDPR), portability (Art. 20 GDPR) and deletion (Art. 17 GDPR) of your data as well as to object to the processing of your data (Art. 21 GDPR) and to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR).

21. Use of Instagram(1) EJOT Holding GmbH & Co. KG and EJOT Baubefestigungen GmbH (in the following only for “19. Use of Instagram” also individually “EJOT”) operate each, but always together with Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland, the operator of the social network Instagram, as the person responsible according to Art. 4 No. 7 GDPR, its own Instagram page under the following links:
• EJOT Holding GmbH & Co. KG: https://www.instagram.com/ejot_karriere/
• EJOT Baubefestigungen GmbH: https://www.instagram.com/ejot_construction/
EJOT and Facebook are therefore jointly responsible according to Art. 26 GDPR.
(2) As the person responsible for the Instagram page, EJOT has made agreements with Facebook which, among other things, regulate the conditions for using the Instagram page. The Instagram terms of use and the other conditions and guidelines listed at the end are decisive:
https://help.instagram.com/581066165581870
(3) Facebook describes which personal data is processed by Facebook, how, for what purposes and on what legal basis in its data policy (https://help.instagram.com/519522125107875?helpref=page_content), which applies to all Facebook products. There you will also find information about contact options for Facebook and the setting options for advertisements, cookies, etc.
(4) Please check carefully which personal data you would like to provide EJOT via Instagram. Instagram belongs to the Facebook group of companies and shares the infrastructure, systems and technology with Facebook and other Facebook companies.
(5) The processing of the information includes on the one hand to enable Facebook to improve its system of advertising that it distributes via its network. On the other hand, it enables EJOT, as the operator of the Instagram page, to receive statistics that Facebook creates on the basis of visits to the EJOT Instagram page (so-called page insights). This is summarized data that shows how users interact with the page. For example, this enables EJOT to gain knowledge of the profiles of the users in order to provide them with more relevant content and to be able to develop functions that could be of greater interest to them.
(6) With the help of the page insights, EJOT can anonymously evaluate the reach, the page views, the length of time spent on video posts, the actions (likes, comments, sharing of posts) as well as age, gender and location (as stated by the users in their respective Instagram profiles). Settings can be made for the evaluation of the reach or corresponding filters can be set with regard to the selection of a period, the consideration of a certain contribution and demographic groups (e.g. female, 20-30 years old). If visitors use Facebook on several devices, the recording and evaluation can also take place across devices if the visitors are registered and logged in to their own profile.
(7) The visitor statistics created are only transmitted to EJOT in anonymised form. EJOT has no access to the respective underlying data and can therefore not draw any conclusions about individuals. The data that are made available to EJOT are therefore anonymized, aggregated and abstracted.
(8) Legal basis and legitimate interests
EJOT operates this Instagram page in order to present EJOT to Instagram users and other interested persons who visit the EJOT Instagram page, to provide them with a variety of information and to communicate with them. The processing of the users' personal data takes place on the basis of the legitimate interest in an optimized company presentation and for marketing and optimization purposes (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR).
(9) Transfer of data
It is conceivable that some of the information collected will also be processed outside the European Union by Facebook Inc. based in the USA. Facebook Inc. is certified under the US-EU data protection agreement "Privacy Shield" and thus undertakes to comply with European data protection requirements:
https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000GnywAAC&status=Active

(11) You can prevent the processing of information by means of the cookies used by Facebook by not allowing third-party cookies or cookies from Facebook in your own browser settings.
(12) Nature of shared responsibility
The agreements with Facebook also on joint responsibility essentially mean that the user can request information (Art. 15 GDPR) and the other data subject rights (Art. 16 ff. GDPR) (see also under "20. Your rights") directly to Facebook. As the provider of the social network, only Facebook has direct access to the required information and can also take any necessary measures and provide information. EJOT supports if necessary.
