Facebook is a social network of Facebook Ireland Limited (Hanover Reach, 5-7 Hanover Quay, Dublin 2 Ireland). Facebook buttons are usually marked with the Facebook logo. Depending on the type of button, additional information may be added (for example "Like" or "Recommend"). If you surf on bidbag and visit one of our websites that contains a Facebook button, your browser establishes a direct connection to the Facebook servers and loads the button from there. The information is sent to Facebook that the corresponding bidbag page was called. If you click on the Facebook button, it is possible that Facebook will process further data. For example, Facebook can set a cookie that Facebook can use to recognize other websites that also have Facebook buttons, that you've already clicked on the button. If you are logged in to Facebook as a Facebook user at the same time, you can also assign the page view to your profile. If you click on integrated Facebook buttons and then log in to Facebook (or are already logged in), the "ge-like" or "recommended" information in your profile can be published in short form. If necessary, Facebook can collect and save further usage data. For example, Facebook user profiles can be created that go beyond what you reveal yourself on Facebook. At no time does Bidbag know which Facebook buttons you have used, but receives from Facebook only a summary, non-personal statistics on the use of the fanpages of bidbag on Facebook and a summary of the statistics for the use of Facebook buttons in terms of bidbag. Which data Facebook raises in detail for its own purposes, you will find in the privacy policy of Facebook; There you will also receive further information on data collection and processing by Facebook and your related rights.
