III. General Information on Data Processing

1. Scope of Personal Data Processing

We generally process personal data of our users only to the extent necessary to provide a functional website as well as our content and services. The processing of personal data is carried out regularly only with the user’s consent. An exception applies where prior consent cannot be obtained for factual reasons and processing is permitted by law.

2. Legal Basis for Data Processing

Where we obtain consent for processing operations, Article 6(1)(a) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

Where processing is necessary for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures, Article 6(1)(b) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

Where processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation, Article 6(1)(c) GDPR applies.

Where processing is necessary to protect vital interests of the data subject or another natural person, Article 6(1)(d) GDPR applies.

Where processing is necessary for the purposes of legitimate interests pursued by our company or a third party, Article 6(1)(f) GDPR applies, unless overridden by the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject.

3. Data Erasure and Storage Period

Personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies.

Storage may continue where required by European or national legislation to which the controller is subject.

Data will also be deleted or blocked upon expiry of a statutory retention period, unless further storage is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract.

IV. Provision of the Website and Log Files

1. Data Processing Description

Each time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects data from the accessing device. The following data is collected:

1. Browser type and version
2. Operating system used
3. Internet service provider
4. Date and time of access
5. Referrer URL
6. Accessed pages within our website

These data are stored in log files. IP addresses or other data enabling direct identification of a user are not stored.

The data cannot be assigned to specific individuals. No merging with other data sources takes place.

2. Purpose of Processing

Log file storage is necessary to ensure the functionality of the website, to optimise its content, and to ensure the security of our IT systems.

These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

3. Storage Period

Data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose of its collection. In the case of website provision, this occurs when the respective session ends.

4. Right to Object

The collection of data for website provision and storage in log files is strictly necessary for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no right to object.

V. Email Contact

1. Data Processing

You may contact us via the provided email address. In this case, the personal data transmitted with the email will be stored.

The data is used exclusively for processing the conversation and is not disclosed to third parties.

2. Legal Basis

Processing is based on Article 6(1)(a) GDPR where consent has been given.

Where email communication is conducted, Article 6(1)(f) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If the communication aims at concluding a contract, Article 6(1)(b) GDPR also applies.

3. Purpose

Data is processed solely for handling the contact request.

4. Storage Period

Data is deleted once it is no longer required. Conversations are considered concluded when it can be inferred that the matter has been fully resolved.

5. Right to Withdraw and Object

You may withdraw your consent at any time and object to further processing. In such cases, communication cannot be continued.

All data stored in the course of contact will then be deleted.

VI. Web Analytics Using Matomo (PIWIK)

1. Data Processing

We use Matomo, an open-source analytics tool, to analyse user behaviour on our website. A cookie is stored on the user’s device.

When individual pages are accessed, the following data is processed:

1. Two bytes of the IP address
2. Accessed page
3. Subpages visited
4. Time spent on the page
5. Frequency of visits

The software runs exclusively on our servers. Data is not shared with third parties.

IP addresses are anonymised by masking two bytes (e.g. 192.168.xxx.xxx), making identification impossible.

2. Legal Basis

Processing is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

3. Purpose

Data processing enables analysis of user behaviour and helps improve our website.

This constitutes our legitimate interest. IP anonymisation sufficiently protects user privacy.

4. Storage Period

Data is deleted once it is no longer required for analysis purposes.

5. Opt-Out

Users may disable cookies via browser settings. Already stored cookies may be deleted at any time.

We also offer an opt-out mechanism via a dedicated link, which sets a cookie preventing further data collection.

If the opt-out cookie is deleted, it must be set again.

3. Right to Restriction of Processing

4. Right to Erasure

VIII. External Links

This website contains links to third-party websites (“external links”). These websites are the responsibility of their respective operators.

At the time of linking, no legal violations were apparent. We have no influence over the current or future content of linked pages.

Continuous monitoring is not reasonable without specific indications of legal violations. If we become aware of such violations, the relevant links will be removed immediately.

IX. Amendment Clause

FESIL Deutschland GmbH reserves the right to amend this privacy policy where necessary due to technical or legal developments.

We therefore recommend reviewing this privacy policy regularly.
