We have implemented features\nfrom Instagram on our website. Instagram is a social media platform of the\ncompany Instagram LLC, 1601 Willow Rd, Menlo Park CA 94025, USA. Instagram is a\nsubsidiary of Facebook Inc. since 2012 and is part of the Facebook products.\nThe embedding of Instagram content on our website is called embedding. This\nallows us to show you content such as buttons, photos or videos from Instagram\ndirectly on our website. When you visit web pages on our site that have an\nInstagram feature embedded, data is transmitted to Instagram, stored and\nprocessed. Instagram uses the same systems and technologies as Facebook. Your\ndata is therefore processed across all Facebook companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the following, we would\nlike to give you a more detailed insight into why Instagram collects data, what\ndata is involved, and how you can largely control the data processing. Because\nInstagram is part of Facebook Inc., we obtain our information from the\nInstagram policies on the one hand, but also from the Facebook data policies\nthemselves on the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Instagram is one of the most popular social media networks worldwide. Instagram\ncombines the advantages of a blog with the benefits of audiovisual platforms\nsuch as YouTube or Vimeo. On “Insta” (as many of the users casually\ncall the platform) you can upload photos and short videos, edit them with\nvarious filters and also distribute them in other social networks. And if you\ndon’t want to be active yourself, you can just follow other interesting users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Instagram is the social media\nplatform that has really gone through the roof in recent years. And of course\nwe have also reacted to this boom. We want you to feel as comfortable as\npossible on our website. That’s why a varied preparation of our content is a\nmatter of course for us. With the embedded Instagram functions we can enrich our\ncontent with helpful, funny or exciting content from the Instagram world. Since\nInstagram is a subsidiary of Facebook, the data collected can also be used for\npersonalized advertising on Facebook. This way, our ads are only shown to\npeople who are really interested in our products or services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Instagram also uses the\ncollected data for measurement and analysis purposes. We get summarized\nstatistics and thus get more insight about your wishes and interests. It is\nimportant to note that these reports do not personally identify you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you come across one of our sites that has Instagram features (such as\nInstagram images or plug-ins) built in, your browser will automatically connect\nto Instagram’s servers. Data is sent to Instagram, stored and processed.\nWhether you have an Instagram account or not. This includes information about\nour website, your computer, purchases made, advertisements you see and how you\nuse our services. We also record the date and time of your interaction with\nInstagram. If you have an Instagram account or are logged in, Instagram stores\nsignificantly more information about you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Facebook distinguishes between customer data and event data. We assume that\nthis is the case with Instagram. Customer data includes, for example, name,\naddress, phone number and IP address. This customer data will not be submitted\nto Instagram until you have been “hashed”. Hashing means that a\nrecord is converted into a string of characters. This allows you to encrypt the\ncontact information. In addition, the “event data” mentioned above is\nalso transmitted. By “event data” Facebook – and consequently\nInstagram – understands data about your user behavior. It can also happen that\ncontact data is combined with event data. The contact information collected\nwill be matched against the information Instagram already has about you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Via small text files (cookies), which are usually set in your browser, the\ncollected data are transmitted to Facebook. Depending on the Instagram features\nused and whether you have an Instagram account yourself, different amounts of\ndata are stored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We assume that data processing at Instagram works the same way as on\nFacebook. This means that if you have an Instagram account or have visited\nwww.instagram.com, Instagram has at least one cookie set. If this is the case,\nyour browser uses the cookie to send information to Instagram whenever you come\ninto contact with an Instagram feature. After 90 days (after matching) at the\nlatest, this data is deleted or anonymized. Although we have worked extensively\nwith Instagram’s data processing, we cannot say exactly what data Instagram\ncollects and stores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the following we show you cookies that are set in your browser at least\nwhen you click on an Instagram function (such as a button or an Insta image).\nIn our test we assume that you do not have an Instagram account. Of course, if\nyou are logged in to Instagram, significantly more cookies will be set in your\nbrowser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which cookies are set in each individual case depends on the embedded functions and your use of Instagram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Instagram shares the\ninformation it receives between Facebook companies with external partners and\nwith people you connect with around the world. Data processing is done in\naccordance with Instagram’s own data policy. For security reasons, among\nothers, your data is distributed on Facebook servers around the world. Most of\nthese servers are located in the USA. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Thanks to the basic data protection regulation, you have the right to\ninformation, transferability, correction and deletion of your data. You can\nmanage your data in the Instagram settings. If you want to completely delete your\ndata on Instagram, you must permanently delete your Instagram account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n First open the Instagram app. On your profile page, scroll down and click\non “Help”. You will now be taken to the company’s website. On the\nwebsite, click on “Manage your account” and then click on\n“Delete your account”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you completely delete your account, Instagram will delete posts such as\nyour photos and status updates. Information that other people have shared about\nyou is not part of your account and will not be deleted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As mentioned above, Instagram stores your information primarily through\ncookies. You can manage, disable or delete these cookies in your browser.\nDepending on your browser, the administration will always work slightly\ndifferently. Here we show you the instructions of the most important browsers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can also configure your browser so that you are always informed when a\ncookie is to be set. Then you can always decide individually whether you want\nto accept the cookie or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Instagram is a subsidiary of Facebook Inc. and Facebook is an active\nparticipant in the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework.
