Our Data Protection Policy

We are very pleased about your interest in our company. Data protection has a high priority for us. The use of the FOMAM GmbH & Co. KG website is possible without any indication of personal data. However, if a visitor wants to use special services of our enterprise via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a visitor, is always in line with the German Data Protection Act. By means of this data protection declaration, we would like to inform about the type, scope and purpose of the personal data collected, used and processed by us. Furthermore, visitors are informed about their rights by means of this data protection declaration. We have implemented technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every visitor is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone.

1. Designation of the responsible entity

Every visitor can contact us directly at any time with all questions and suggestions regarding data protection.

2. Person-related Data

If you send us inquiries or applications via email or contact form, all personal data transmitted will be automatically stored by us for the purpose of processing, contacting and in case of follow-up questions. Of course, this data is treated confidentially and only used for the original reason and purpose of the transmission. In principle, the data will not be transmitted to third parties. Unless this is required or permitted by law, you have given us your consent or there is an official order to do so.

3. Encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content that you send to us as the site operator, our website uses SSL or TLS encryption. This means that data that you transmit via this website cannot be read by third parties. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the “https://” address line of your browser and the lock symbol next to the address line. E-mails themselves are not encrypted.

4. Server Logfiles

This website collects general data and information with each call of the website by a visitor or an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the log files of the server. The types and versions of browsers used, the operating system used by the accessing system, the website from which an accessing system accesses our website, the subwebsites that are accessed via an accessing system on our website, the date and time of access to the website, an Internet protocol address, the Internet service provider of the accessing system and other similar data and information that serve to avert danger in the event of attacks on our information technology systems may be recorded. When using this general data and information, we do not draw any conclusions about the visitor. Rather, this information is needed to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber attack. Therefore, the data and information collected is, on the one hand, statistically analyzed by us and, on the other hand, it is evaluated with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise so as to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by the visitor.

5. Duration for which the personal data are stored

We process and store personal data only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage. The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. If the storage purpose ceases to apply, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, provided that it is no longer required for contract fulfillment or contract initiation.

6. Your rights

You have the right to be informed at any time whether we process your personal data. If this is the case, this results in further information obligations on our part. Then you have the right to correct the data, to delete the data and to restrict the processing of the data, if this does not conflict with any other legal requirements. Of course, you can also revoke your given consent to the processing of the data. This does not affect the lawfulness of the processing until the revocation. You also have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to third parties. The data will be provided in a machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another responsible party, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible. As a data subject, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority in the event of a breach of data protection law.

7. Legal basis and legitimate interest

Article 6, paragraph 1 littera a DSGVO serves as our legal basis for processing operations where we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. Article 6, paragraph 1 littera b DSGVO serves as our legal basis for processing operations where personal data are processed for the performance of a contract to which the visitor is a party. This is the case, for example, for processing operations necessary for the provision of a service, delivery of goods or consideration. Article 6, paragraph 1 littera c DSGVO serves as our legal basis for processing operations that are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures, such as in cases of inquiries about our services or products. This may be the case, for example, in the fulfillment of legal obligations. In conclusion, processing operations could be based on Article 6, Section 1 littera f DSGVO. Processing operations not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject are not overridden.

8. In the end

We reserve the right to occasionally adapt this data protection declaration so that it always complies with the current legal requirements or to take into account changes to our services in the data protection declaration, for example when introducing new services. The new data protection declaration will then apply for renewed visits.
