As part of Facebook, the Controller uses lead ads, which allow you to provide contact details and pass them on to the Controller. Until such time as the User’s personal data is submitted via the contact advertising form, the Facebook owner Meta Platforms Inc. is the controller of the User’s personal data. When you submit personal data via the contact advertising form, the Controller becomes the controller of the User’s personal data to the extent specified.
