Contact form and e-mail contact

Our webpage contains a contact form which can be used for getting in touch electronically. If a user makes use of this option, the data entered into the input form will be transmitted to us and saved. This data comprises: Name, address, e-mail address, telephone number etc. At the time the message is sent, the following data will also be saved: The IP address, date, and time. For processing the data, your consent will be obtained as part of the sending procedure, and reference will be made to this privacy statement.          

Alternatively, you can also get in touch via the e-mail address provided. In this case, the personal data of the user transmitted with the e-mail will be saved. No disclosure of the data to third parties takes place in this context. The data will be used exclusively for processing the conversation.

The legal basis for the processing is:

• For the processing of the data after the user registers for the newsletter, provided that the user has given consent, Art. 6(1) a GDPR.
• For the processing of data which is transmitted as part of the sending of an e-mail, Art. 6(1) f GDPR with the aforementioned legitimate interests.
• If the e-mail contact serves the purpose of entering into a contract, Art. 6(1) b of the GDPR serves as the additional legal basis for the processing.

For us, the processing of the personal data from the input form is exclusively for processing the establishment of contact. In the case of the establishment of contact via e-mail, this also includes the required legitimate interest in the processing of the data. The other personal data processed during the sending procedure serve to prevent the abuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.

The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary to fulfil the purpose of their collection. For the personal data from the input fields of the contact form and data that have been transmitted via e-mail, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has terminated. The conversation is terminated when circumstances allow one to surmise that the respective issue has been conclusively resolved. The additional personal data collected during the sending procedure will be deleted no later than after a deadline of seven days.

The user has the option of revoking his consent for the processing of the personal data at any time. If the user establishes contact with us via e-mail, he can object to the storage of his personal data at any time. In such a case, the conversation cannot be continued.

Usage Data/Server log files

Each time our webpages are accessed, our systems automatically collect data and information from the computer system of the accessing computer.

In this case, the following types of data are collected: Browser type, version used, operating system of the user, internet service provider, IP address of the user, date and time accessed, websites from which the user’s system are directed to our website or which the user is directed to from our website.

The legal basis for the temporary storage of the data and the log files is Art.6(1) f of the GDPR with the aforementioned legitimate interests.

The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to make it possible for the website to be delivered to the user’s computer. For this purpose, the IP address of the user must remain saved for the duration of the session.

Storage in log files takes place to ensure the functionality of the website. Furthermore, we use the data to optimise the website and to ensure the safety of our information technology systems. An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context. These purposes also justify our legitimate interests to perform data processing pursuant to Art. 6(1) f of the GDPR. The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary to fulfil the purpose of their collection. In the case of the collection of the data for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session is terminated. The collection of the data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. Furthermore, we reserve the right to review the files when concrete indications exist which point to a justified suspicion of unlawful use or a specific attack on the pages. In this case, it is within our legitimate interests to perform processing for the purposes of clarifying the issue and the criminal prosecution of such attacks and unlawful use.

General information on data processing

We collect and use personal data from our users strictly only to the extent necessary for providing a functional website as well as our content and products/services. The collection and use of our users’ personal data generally only takes place with the user’s consent. An exception is made in cases where it is actually impossible to obtain prior consent and the processing of the data is permitted by statutory regulations.

Legal basis for the processing of your data:

• In cases where we obtain consent from data subjects for processing operations on personal data, Art. 6(1) a of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the basis.
• When processing personal data necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, Art. 6(1) b of the GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations which are necessary to carry out steps prior to entering into a contract.
• In cases where processing of personal data is necessary to comply with a legal obligation which our company is subject to, Art. 6(1) c of the GDPR serves as the legal basis.
• In cases where vital interests of the data subject or another natural person make it necessary to process personal information, Art. 6(1) d of the GDPR serves as the legal basis.
• If processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, and the interests, fundamental rights, and fundamental freedoms of the data subject do not override the interests of the former, Art. 6(1) f of the GDPR shall serve as the legal basis for the processing.

In particular, legitimate interests may include:

• Replying to enquiries;
• Carrying out direct marketing measures;
• Provision of services and/or information intended for you;
• The processing and transfer of personal data for internal and/or administrative purposes;
• The operation and administration of our website;
• The technical support of users;
• Avoiding and detecting cases of fraud and crimes;
• Protecting against non-payment by obtaining credit reports in the case of enquiries regarding deliveries and performance; and or
• Ensuring network and data security, provided that these interests comply with the corresponding applicable laws and the rights and freedoms of the user;

Comments and contributions

When users post comments on the blog or contribute other posts, their IP addresses are saved. This is done for the safety of the provider, in case someone submits illegal content (prohibited political propaganda, insults, etc.). In cases like this, the ISD FENIQS itself may be prosecuted for the comment or contribution – and so the company is obviously very interested in the author’s identity.
