We only evaluate this information for statistical purposes.

3. Legal basis for the processing of personal data

In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, art. 6 para. 1 lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If processing is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of our company or a third party, and if the interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms of the person concerned do not outweigh the former interest, art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing.

4. Use of cookies

The websites of FM Intertrade GmbH use cookies. Cookies are data stored by the Internet browser on the user’s computer system.

If the data subject uses the personal data to register on the website of the data controller, the data will be transmitted to the data controller in the respective input mask. The data is stored solely for internal use by the controller. The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for the purpose of its collection.

When registering, the IP address of the user and the date and time of registration are saved. This is to prevent misuse of the services. A transfer of the data to third parties does not take place. An exception exists if there is a legal obligation to disclose.

The registration of the data is required for the provision of content or services. Registered persons have the possibility at any time to delete or modify the stored data. The data subject receives information about the personal data stored about him at any time.

7. Newsletter

If the newsletter of our company has been subscribed, the data will be transmitted in the respective input mask to the controller. The registration for our newsletter takes place in a so-called closed-loop authentication. That means, after the registration, you will receive an e-mail asking you to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary so that nobody can register with external e-mail addresses.

When registering for the newsletter, the IP address of the user and the date and time of registration are saved. This is to prevent misuse of the service or the e-mail address of the person concerned. A transfer of the data to third parties does not take place. An exception exists if there is a legal obligation to disclose.

The data will be used exclusively for sending the newsletter. Subscription to the newsletter may be terminated by the data subject at any time. Similarly, the consent to the storage of personal data can be canceled at any time. For this purpose, there is a corresponding link in each newsletter.

The legal basis for processing the data after the user has registered for the newsletter passes after the user has given his consent, art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. The legal basis for sending the newsletter as a result of the sale of goods or services is § 7 sect. 3 UC.

8. Ways to contact

On the websites of FM Intertrade GmbH there is a contact form that can be used for electronic contact. Alternatively, contact via the provided e-mail address is possible. If the data subject contacts the controller through one of these channels, the personal data transmitted by the data subject will be automatically stored. The storage serves solely for purposes of processing or contacting the person concerned. A transfer of data to third parties does not take place. Legal basis for the processing of the data is in the presence of the consent of the user art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

The legal basis for the processing of the data transmitted in the course of sending an e-mail is article 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. If the e-mail contact aims to conclude a contract, then additional legal basis for the processing is art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for the purpose of its collection. For the personal data from the input mask of the contact form and those sent by e-mail, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended. The conversation is ended when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the relevant facts have been finally clarified.

The additional personal data collected during the sending process will be deleted at the latest after a period of seven days.

13.6 Facebook Pixel

Description and purpose

To recognize your user behavior, we use the so-called Facebook pixel from Facebook Inc. 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA. This is an analysis tool with which the effectiveness of the advertising can be measured. It is a code snippet for the website, which can be used to measure, optimize and build up for advertising campaign target groups. Conversion measurement allows us to track what people do after they see our Facebook ads across devices (including mobile phones, tablets and desktop computers). By creating a Facebook pixel and adding it to our pages where conversions are made (e.g., the Purchase Confirmation page), we can determine which people are making conversions based on our Facebook Ads. The pixel is used to further monitor the actions that people take after clicking on our ads. It allows us to determine on which device our customers saw the ad and on which devices they ultimately performed the conversion. According to Facebook, the data collected includes

HTTP headers

HTTP headers contain a variety of information that is sent over a standard web protocol between any browser request and any server on the Internet. HTTP headers contain information such as IP addresses (which in Germany can only be evaluated at the general country level), information about the web browser, page location, document, URI reference and user agent of the web browser.

Pixel-specific data

This includes the pixel ID and Facebook cookie data used to associate events with a specific Facebook advertising account and to associate it with a person known to Facebook.

Optional values

Developers and marketers can optionally send additional information about the visit through standard and custom data events. Typical custom data events include information about whether a purchase was made on a page, conversion value, and more. For more information about custom data events, click here. With your consent, we use the “visitor action pixel” of Facebook Inc, 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA or if you are located in the EU, Facebook Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland, within our website. This conversion tool allows us to track your actions after you have seen or clicked on a Facebook advertisement. This is used to monitor and analyze the effectiveness of our Facebook Ads for statistical and market research purposes. Although we can only recognize this data in anonymized form, Facebook also stores and processes this data. What exactly Facebook does with this data is not known to us, but it can be assumed that Facebook can and will link this data to your Facebook account. Thus, Facebook can use this information for the purpose of advertising, market research and demand-oriented design of Facebook pages. For this purpose, Facebook and its partners create usage, interest and relationship profiles, e.g. to evaluate your use of our website with regard to the advertisements displayed to you on Facebook, to inform other Facebook users about your activities on our website and to provide other services associated with the use of Facebook. Cookies can also be stored on your PC for this purpose. For the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of data by Facebook, as well as your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy, please refer to the Facebook data protection information. The data may be merged with other Facebook services, such as Custom Audiences.

Extended adjustment

Advertisers can optionally enable the advanced Facebook pixel matching feature by sending encrypted information such as email address or phone number to Facebook. Advertisers can send one or more of the following identifiers for matching: Email address, phone number, first name, last name, city, state, zip code, date of birth, or gender.

Legal basis

The legal basis is the norm of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) and Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR.

Receiver

Empfänger der Daten ist Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”) und Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Irland.

Transfer to third countries

The mentioned data is processed and stored outside the European Union, e.g. in the USA.

Duration of data storage

According to Facebook, the data sent from the Facebok pixel to Facebook is stored for 180 days. After this time, the data will be encrypted and anonymized by Facebook. For more information on the storage period, see “Data storage, deactivation and deletion of accounts” at: https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/

Cancellation and objection option

You may object to the collection by the Facebook pixel and use of your information to display Facebook ads. To control what types of ads are displayed to you within Facebook, you can go to the page set up by Facebook and follow the instructions on usage-based advertising settings: www.facebook.com/settings. The settings are platform-independent, which means they apply to all devices, such as desktop computers or mobile devices. Contractual or Legal Obligation to Provide Personal Information The provision of personal information is not required by law or contract, nor is it necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are also not obliged to provide the personal data. However, failure to provide it may mean that you are unable to use this function of our website or cannot use it to its full extent.

13.7 Adform Adserver

Description and purpose

We use the conversion tracking system of Adform Germany GmbH (hereinafter “Adform”). The cookie is set as soon as you have contact with a Commerzbank advertising medium (e.g. advertising banner) placed via Adform. The cookie contains an advertising ID and is created with a validity of 60 days. It does not contain any features (e.g. full IP address, first name, surname, address, e-mail address) that can be used to identify you personally. However, we do recognise from the advertising ID which advertising medium brought you to our attention. The website operator does not merge the Advertising ID with personal data under any circumstances. Users who do not wish to participate in conversion tracking can deactivate the Adform cookie via their browser at https://site.adform.com/privacy-policy/de.

Legal basis

The legal basis for the processing of personal data is consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 letter a) DSGVO.

Recipient

The recipient is Adform A/S, Wildersgade 10B, 1. sal. 1408 Copenhagen, Denmark.

Transfer to third countries

No data is transferred to the USA.

Duration of data storage

Possibility of objection

14. Integration of other services and content of third parties

It may happen that content from third parties, such as videos from YouTube, maps from Google Maps, RSS feeds or graphics from other websites are included in this online offer. This always presupposes that the providers of this content (hereinafter referred to as “third party provider”) perceive the IP address of the users. Because without the IP address, they could not send the content to the browser of the respective user. The IP address is therefore required for the presentation of this content. We endeavor to use only content whose respective providers use the IP address solely for the delivery of the content. However, we do not have any influence on this if the third parties provide the IP address e.g. to save for statistical purposes. As far as we know, we will inform users about it.

15. Data transmission in third countries

The controller may transfer personal data to a third country. In principle, the controller may provide various appropriate safeguards to ensure that an adequate level of protection is provided for the processing operations. It is possible to transfer data transfers on the basis of an adequacy finding, internal data protection rules, approved codes of conduct, standard data protection clauses or an approved certification mechanism pursuant to Art. 46 para. 2 letters a) – f) GDPR.

If the person responsible undertakes a transfer to a third country on the legal basis of Art. 49 para. 1 a) GDPR, you will be informed at this point about the possible risks of a data transfer to a third country.

There is a risk that the third country receiving your personal data may not provide an equivalent level of protection compared to the protection of personal data in the European Union. This may be the case, for example, if the EU Commission has not issued an adequacy decision for the third country in question or if certain agreements between the European Union and the third country in question are declared invalid. Specifically, there are risks in some third countries with regard to the effective protection of EU fundamental rights through the use of monitoring laws (e.g. USA). In such a case, it is the responsibility of the controller and the recipient to assess whether the rights of data subjects in the third country enjoy a level of protection equivalent to that in the Union and can be effectively enforced.

However, the basic data protection regulation should not undermine the level of protection of natural persons ensured throughout the Union when personal data are transferred from the Union to controllers, processors or other recipients in third countries or to international organisations, even if personal data are further transferred from a third country or from an international organisation to controllers or processors in the same or another third country or to the same or another international organisation.

14.2 Data Processor

We do not use external service providers (order processors) e.g. for the dispatch of goods, newsletter or payment processing. Separate agreements have been concluded with these service providers for order data processing in order to guarantee the protection of your personal data if we will have external service.. We do not work together with the service providers.

16. Duration of storage of personal data

Personal data is stored for the duration of the respective legal retention period. After expiry of the deadline, the data will be routinely deleted, unless there is a need for a contract or fulfillment of the contract.

17. Applications (Training & Vacancies)

By submitting their application to us, applicants consent to the processing of their data for the purposes of the application procedure in accordance with the type and scope set out in this Privacy Policy.

If special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 Para. 1 DSGVO are voluntarily provided within the framework of the application procedure, they will also be processed in accordance with Art. 9 Para. 2 lit. b DSGVO (e.g. health data, such as severely disabled status or ethnic origin). Insofar as special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 para. 1 DSGVO are requested from applicants as part of the application procedure, their processing will also be carried out in accordance with Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a DSGVO (e.g. health data if they are required for the exercise of a profession).

If provided, applicants can submit their applications via an online form on our website. The data will be transmitted to us encrypted according to the state of the art.

Applicants can also send us their applications by e-mail. Please note, however, that e-mails are generally not sent in encrypted form and the applicants themselves must ensure that they are encrypted. We therefore cannot assume any responsibility for the transmission path of the application between the sender and the reception on our server and therefore recommend using an online form or postal dispatch. Instead of applying using the online form and e-mail, applicants still have the option of sending their application by post.

In the event of a successful application, the data provided by the applicants can be further processed by us for the purposes of the employment relationship. Otherwise, if the application for a job offer is not successful, the applicant’s data will be deleted. Applicant data will also be deleted if an application is withdrawn, which applicants are entitled to do at any time.

Subject to justified revocation by the applicants, the data will be deleted after a period of six months so that we can answer any follow-up questions regarding the application and meet our obligations to provide evidence under the Equal Treatment Act. Invoices for any reimbursement of travel expenses will be archived in accordance with the provisions of tax law.

18. Safety

We have taken extensive technical and operational safeguards to protect your data from accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorized persons. Our security procedures are regularly reviewed and adapted to technological progress. In addition, privacy is granted on an ongoing basis through constant auditing and optimization of the privacy organization.
