Facebook pixel for creating custom audiences with advanced data matching (with cookie consent tool)
Within our online offer, the so-called "Facebook Pixel" of the social network Facebook is used in the mode of extended data comparison, which is operated by Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Quare, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Facebook").
On the basis of their express consent, if a user clicks on an advertisement placed by us on Facebook, the URL of our linked page will be appended by Facebook Pixel. After forwarding, this URL parameter is then written into the user's browser via cookie, which our linked page sets itself. In addition, specific customer data such as the e-mail address, which we collect on our website linked to the Facebook ad for transactions such as purchases, account logins or registrations, is recorded by this cookie (extended data comparison). The cookie is then read by the Facebook pixel and enables the data, including specific customer data, to be forwarded to Facebook.
With the help of the Facebook pixel with extended data comparison, Facebook is able to precisely determine the visitors of our online offer as a target group for the display of advertisements (so-called "Facebook ads"). Accordingly, we use the Facebook pixel with extended data synchronization in order to only display the Facebook ads we have placed to those Facebook users who have also shown an interest in our online offer or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products, which are determined based on the websites visited), which we transmit to Facebook (so-called “Custom Audiences”). With the help of the Facebook pixel with extended data comparison, we also want to ensure that our Facebook ads correspond to the potential interest of the user and are not annoying. This allows us to further evaluate the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes by understanding whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook ad (so-called "conversion"). Compared to the standard version of Facebook Pixel, the advanced data matching feature helps us to better measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns by recording more attributed conversions.
All transmitted data is stored and processed by Facebook so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible and Facebook can use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with the Facebook data usage guidelines ( https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/ ). The data can enable Facebook and its partners to place advertisements on and outside of Facebook.
These processing operations only take place if you have given your express consent in accordance with Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR.
The information generated by Facebook is usually transmitted to a Facebook server and stored there. This can also result in transmission to the servers of Meta Platforms Inc. in the USA.

For questions that arise in the course of processing, we use either the e-mail address provided by the applicant with his application or a telephone number provided at our discretion.
The legal basis for this processing, including contacting us for queries, is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter b GDPR (for processing in Germany in conjunction with Section 26 Paragraph 1 BDSG), in the sense of which going through the application process is considered to be the initiation of an employment contract.
Insofar as special categories of personal data within the meaning of Article 9 Paragraph 1 GDPR (e.g. health data such as information on severely disabled status) are requested from applicants as part of the application process, the processing takes place in accordance with Article 9 Paragraph 2 lit. GDPR so that we can exercise our rights under labor law and social security and social protection law and comply with our obligations in this regard.
Cumulatively or alternatively, the processing of the special data categories can also be based on Art. 9 (1) lit health or social care treatment or for the administration of health or social care systems and services.
If the applicant is not selected in the course of the evaluation described above or if an applicant withdraws his application prematurely, his data transmitted by e-mail and all electronic correspondence including the original application e-mail will be deleted after 6 months at the latest after notification. This period is based on our legitimate interest in being able to answer any follow-up questions about the application and, if necessary, in being able to meet our obligations to provide evidence from the regulations on the equal treatment of applicants.
In the event of a successful application, the data provided will be processed on the basis of Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter b GDPR (for processing in Germany in conjunction with Section 26 Paragraph 1 BDSG) for the purposes of carrying out the employment relationship.
