Facebook use
In order to maintain the Engel & Völkers Facebook page, Engel & Völkers accesses and uses the technical platform and the services of Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.
Engel & Völkers would like to take this opportunity to emphasize once again that the use of this Facebook page and its functions occurs at your own risk. This applies in particular to the use of the interactive functions (e.g. commenting, sharing, rating).
When you visit our Facebook page, Facebook, among other things, records your IP address and other information stored on your PC 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 Facebook page. More information on this is available at the following link: http://de-de.facebook.com/help/pages/insights.
The data collected about you in this context is processed by Facebook Ltd. and may be transferred to countries outside the European Union for this purpose. To find out what information Facebook collects and how it is used, please refer to Facebook’s data use policy, where this is described in general terms. There you will also find information on how to contact Facebook and on settings options for advertisements.
The data usage policy is available at the following link:
http://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy
The full privacy policy of Facebook can be found here:
https://de-de.facebook.com/full_data_use_policy
The manner in which Facebook uses data from Facebook page visits for its own purposes, the extent to which activities on the Facebook page can be associated with individual users, the duration for which Facebook stores this data and whether data from a visit to the Facebook page is passed on to third parties is not exhaustively and clearly specified by Facebook and is not known to us.
When accessing a Facebook page, the IP address assigned to your terminal device is transmitted to Facebook. According to Facebook, this IP address is anonymized (in the case of "German" IP addresses) and deleted after 90 days. In addition, Facebook stores information about the terminal devices of its users (e.g. in the framework of the "logon notification" function); this could allow Facebook to associate IP addresses with individual users.
When you as a user log in to Facebook, a cookie with your Facebook ID is stored on your terminal device. This allows Facebook to track your visit to this page and your activities on this page. This also applies to all other Facebook pages. The Facebook buttons embedded in web pages allow Facebook to record your visits to these web pages and associate them with your Facebook profile. Based on this data, you can be targeted with content or advertising.
If you want to avoid this, you should sign out of Facebook or deactivate the "keep me logged in" option, delete existing cookies on your device and exit and restart your browser. This deletes Facebook information that would permit personal identification. You can then use our Facebook page without revealing your Facebook ID. If you access interactive features on the page (likes, commenting, sharing, news, etc.), a Facebook login screen opens up. If you log in, Facebook will once again be able to identify you as the user.
Information on how to manage or delete existing personal data can be found on the following Facebook support page:
