The operator of this service is Facebook Inc, 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA, or if you are a resident of the EU, Facebook Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Facebook").

Facebook is certified under the Privacy Shield agreement and thereby offers a guarantee of compliance with European data protection law(https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000GnywAAC&status=Active.

Accordingly, the Facebook pixel is used to display the Facebook ads placed by the responsible party only to those Facebook users who have also shown an interest in this online offering or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products determined on the basis of the websites visited) that the responsible party transmits to Facebook (so-called "Custom Audiences"). The Facebook pixel is also used to ensure that the Facebook ads of the responsible party correspond to the potential interest of the users and do not have a harassing effect. Furthermore, the effectiveness of Facebook ads can be evaluated for statistical and market research purposes by tracking whether users were redirected to Eturnity AG's website after clicking on a Facebook ad (so-called "conversion").

Accordingly, general guidance on the display of Facebook Ads, can be found in Facebook's Data Use Policy: https://www.facebook.com/policy.php.
