In addition to our own website, we operate a company-specific Facebook page on the platform 2343ec78a04c6ea9d80806345d31fd78-gdprlock for communication and interaction with our customers and prospective customers. Facebook does not provide a complete and clear explanation of how and to what extent Meta collects and uses data from visits to Facebook pages for its own purposes, to what extent activities on the pages are assigned to, evaluated and linked to individual users, where and for how long the data is stored, and to whom the data is passed on. This information is not known to us.

When you visit our Facebook page, Facebook collects, among other things, your IP address, websites visited, and other information stored on your computer in the form of cookies. This information is used to provide us, as the operator of the Facebook page, with statistical information about the use of the page. Further information about the "Page Insights" function is available from Facebook at the following link: https://www.2343ec78a04c6ea9d80806345d31fd78-gdprlock/business/a/page/page-insights.

Our legal basis for processing the pseudonymized data processed during your visit to our Facebook page is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in compiling usage statistics for our Facebook page in order to further develop and optimize its content. No conflicting legitimate interests of users are apparent, as we cannot attribute the data to individual persons, the user has consented to Facebook's privacy policy, or users who have not consented can prevent the setting of cookies required for Facebook Insights by adjusting their browser settings.

The purpose of data processing is to present our company, communicate and interact with our customers and prospective customers. A further purpose is to create usage statistics in order to further develop and optimize the website's content. For example, we can access the following information about our website posts:

Facebook does not provide a complete and clear explanation of how long it stores data from visits to Facebook pages for its own purposes, or to what extent it complies with existing deletion obligations, and this information is unknown to us.

Facebook offers no way to disable Facebook Insights, neither by the page administrator nor by the user. Consequently, there is currently no option for users to object. You can, of course, completely prevent the collection and processing of data by Facebook and Graphit Kropfmühl GmbH or Graphit Kropfmühl Besucherbergwerk gGmbH by simply not using our Facebook page.
