We are very pleased about your interest in our company. Data protection is of particularly high importance to the management of FiaBuc Kabelkonfektion GmbH. In principle, the use of the FiaBuc Kabelkonfektion GmbH website is possible without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to use special services of our company via our website, the processing of personal data may become necessary. If the processing of personal data is required and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.

 

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, email address, or telephone number of a data subject, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in compliance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to FiaBuc Kabelkonfektion GmbH. Through this privacy policy, our company aims to inform the public about the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. Furthermore, this privacy policy informs data subjects about their rights.

 

As the controller, FiaBuc Kabelkonfektion GmbH has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most comprehensive protection possible for personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions may generally have security vulnerabilities, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us via alternative means, such as by telephone.

 

1. Definitions

The privacy policy of FiaBuc Kabelkonfektion GmbH is based on the terminology used by the European legislator when enacting the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy is intended to be easily readable and understandable for the public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terminology used in advance.  

 

In this privacy policy, we use, among others, the following terms: 

​

a) Personal Data

Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as "data subject"). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person.  

 

b) Data Subject

A data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller responsible for the processing.  

 

c) Processing  

Processing is any operation or set of operations performed on personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure, or destruction.  

 

d) Restriction of Processing 

Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their processing in the future.  

 

e) Profiling 

Profiling is any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location, or movements.  

 

f) Pseudonymization  

Pseudonymization is the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.  

 

g) Controller or Data Controlle

The controller or data controller is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.  

 

h) Processor

A processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.  

 

i) Recipient

A recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or another body, to which the personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients.  

 

j) Third Party  

A third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or body other than the data subject, controller, processor, and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorized to process personal data.  

 

k) Consent  

Consent is any freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which they, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signify agreement to the processing of personal data relating to them.  

 

2. Name and Address of the Controller

The controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation, other data protection laws applicable in the Member States of the European Union, and other provisions of a data protection nature is:  

 

FiaBuc Kabelkonfektion GmbH  

Becker-Göring-Straße 20  

76307 Karlsbad  

Germany  

Tel.: +49 7248/9208-0  

Email: info@fiabuc.de  

Website: www.fiabuc.de  

 

3. Cookies 

The websites of FiaBuc Kabelkonfektion GmbH use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system via an internet browser.  

 

Many websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a character string through which websites and servers can be assigned to the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables visited websites and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific internet browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID.  

 

Through the use of cookies, FiaBuc Kabelkonfektion GmbH can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.  

 

By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized with the user in mind. Cookies allow us, as previously mentioned, to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to utilize our website. For example, a user of a website that uses cookies does not have to enter their access data each time they visit the website, as this is taken over by the website and the cookie stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online shop. The online shop remembers the items a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.  

 

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.  

 

4. Collection of General Data and Information 

The website of FiaBuc Kabelkonfektion GmbH collects a series of general data and information each time the website is accessed by a data subject or an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the server log files. The following may be collected: (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-websites accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an Internet Protocol address (IP address), (7) the internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) other similar data and information that serve to avert danger in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.  

 

When using this general data and information, FiaBuc Kabelkonfektion GmbH does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website and its advertising, (3) ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyberattack. This anonymously collected data and information is therefore evaluated by FiaBuc Kabelkonfektion GmbH both statistically and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company, ultimately ensuring an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files is stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.  

 

5. Routine Erasure and Blocking of Personal Dat  

The controller processes and stores personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or as provided for by the European legislator or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.  

 

If the storage purpose ceases to apply or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or erased in accordance with legal requirements.  

 

6. Rights of the Data Subject

a) Right to Confirmation

Every data subject has the right, granted by the European legislator, to obtain from the controller confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning them are being processed. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of confirmation, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.  

 

b) Right to Access 

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to obtain from the controller, free of charge, information about the personal data stored about them and a copy of this information at any time. Furthermore, the European legislator has granted the data subject access to the following information:  

- the purposes of the processing  

- the categories of personal data processed  

- the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries or international organizations  

- where possible, the envisaged period for which the personal data will be stored, or, if not possible, the criteria used to determine that period  

- the existence of the right to request from the controller rectification or erasure of personal data or restriction of processing of personal data concerning the data subject or to object to such processing  

- the existence of the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

- the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, referred to in Article 22(1) and (4) GDPR and, at least in those cases, meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject  

 

Furthermore, the data subject has the right to obtain information as to whether personal data have been transferred to a third country or to an international organization. Where this is the case, the data subject also has the right to be informed of the appropriate safeguards relating to the transfer.  

 

If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of access, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.  

 

c) Right to Rectification 

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to request the immediate rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning them. Furthermore, taking into account the purposes of the processing, the data subject has the right to have incomplete personal data completed, including by means of providing a supplementary statement.  

 

If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.  

 

d) Right to Erasure (Right to Be Forgotten)  

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to request from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning them without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies and insofar as the processing is not necessary:  

- The personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.  

- The data subject withdraws consent on which the processing is based according to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR, and where there is no other legal ground for the processing.  

- The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) GDPR.  

- The personal data have been unlawfully processed.  

- The personal data must be erased for compliance with a legal obligation in Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.  

- The personal data have been collected in relation to the offer of information society services referred to in Article 8(1) GDPR.  

 

If one of the aforementioned reasons applies and a data subject wishes to request the erasure of personal data stored by FiaBuc Kabelkonfektion GmbH, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time. The employee of FiaBuc Kabelkonfektion GmbH will ensure that the erasure request is complied with immediately.  

 

Where FiaBuc Kabelkonfektion GmbH has made the personal data public and is obliged pursuant to Article 17(1) GDPR to erase the personal data, FiaBuc Kabelkonfektion GmbH, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform other controllers processing the published personal data that the data subject has requested the erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copies or replications of, those personal data, insofar as processing is not necessary. An employee of FiaBuc Kabelkonfektion GmbH will arrange the necessary measures in individual cases.  

 

e) Right to Restriction of Processing  

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to request from the controller the restriction of processing where one of the following applies:  

- The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.  

- The processing is unlawful, and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests the restriction of their use instead.  

- The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but they are required by the data subject for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.  

- The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.  

 

If one of the aforementioned conditions is met and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of personal data stored by FiaBuc Kabelkonfektion GmbH, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time. The employee of FiaBuc Kabelkonfektion GmbH will arrange the restriction of processing.  

 

f) Right to Data Portability 

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to receive the personal data concerning them, which they have provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. They also have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided, where the processing is based on consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, and the processing is carried out by automated means, provided that the processing is not necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.  

 

Furthermore, in exercising their right to data portability pursuant to Article 20(1) GDPR, the data subject has the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and provided that this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.  

 

To assert the right to data portability, the data subject may contact an employee of FiaBuc Kabelkonfektion GmbH at any time.  

 

g) Right to Object 

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to object, on grounds relating to their particular situation, at any time to the processing of personal data concerning them which is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.  

 

FiaBuc Kabelkonfektion GmbH shall no longer process the personal data in the event of an objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject, or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.  

 

If FiaBuc Kabelkonfektion GmbH processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data for such marketing. This also applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to FiaBuc Kabelkonfektion GmbH processing for direct marketing purposes, FiaBuc Kabelkonfektion GmbH will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.  

 

In addition, the data subject has the right, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to object to the processing of personal data concerning them by FiaBuc Kabelkonfektion GmbH for scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) GDPR, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.  

 

To exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact any employee of FiaBuc Kabelkonfektion GmbH directly. The data subject is also free, in the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to exercise their right to object by automated means using technical specifications.  

 

h) Automated Individual Decision-Making, Including Profiling  

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning them or similarly significantly affects them, unless the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or (3) is based on the data subject’s explicit consent.  

 

If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) it is based on the data subject’s explicit consent, FiaBuc Kabelkonfektion GmbH shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express their point of view, and to contest the decision.  

 

If the data subject wishes to exercise rights concerning automated individual decision-making, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.  

 

i) Right to Withdraw Consent

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to withdraw their consent to the processing of personal data at any time.  

 

If the data subject wishes to exercise their right to withdraw consent, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.  

 

7. Privacy Policy on the Use and Application of Google Analytics (with Anonymization Function)

The controller has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymization function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analytics is the collection, gathering, and analysis of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analytics service collects, among other things, data about the website from which a data subject has accessed a website (so-called referrers), which sub-pages of the website were accessed, or how often and for what duration a sub-page was viewed. Web analytics are mainly used for the optimization of a website and for the cost-benefit analysis of internet advertising.  

 

The operator of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.  

 

The controller uses the addition "_gat._anonymizeIp" for web analytics via Google Analytics. By means of this addition, the IP address of the internet connection of the data subject is shortened and anonymized by Google if access to our websites is from a Member State of the European Union or from another contracting state of the Agreement on the European Economic Area.  

 

The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze the traffic on our website. Google uses the collected data and information, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports for us showing the activities on our websites, and to provide other services related to the use of our website.  

 

Google Analytics places a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are has already been explained above. By setting the cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the use of our website. With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. As part of this technical process, Google obtains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which serves Google, among other things, to trace the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently enable commission settlements.  

 

By means of the cookie, personal information, such as the access time, the location from which access originated, and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject, is stored. Each time our websites are visited, this personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected via the technical process to third parties.  

 

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as already described above, at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the internet browser used would also prevent Google from placing a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.  

 

Furthermore, the data subject has the option to object to the collection of data generated by Google Analytics relating to the use of this website and the processing of this data by Google and to prevent such. To do this, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on under the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information about website visits may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered an objection by Google. If the data subject’s information technology system is later deleted, formatted, or reinstalled, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the data subject or another person within their sphere of control, there is the option to reinstall or reactivate the browser add-on.  

 

Further information and the applicable privacy policy of Google can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/en/policies/privacy/ and at http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/en.html. Google Analytics is explained in more detail at this link https://www.google.com/intl/en_uk/analytics/.  

 

8. Privacy Policy on the Use and Application of Google AdWords 

The controller has integrated Google AdWords on this website. Google AdWords is an internet advertising service that allows advertisers to place ads both in Google’s search engine results and in the Google advertising network. Google AdWords enables an advertiser to predefine certain keywords by means of which an ad is displayed in Google’s search engine results only when the user retrieves a keyword-relevant search result with the search engine. In the Google advertising network, the ads are distributed on topic-relevant websites using an automatic algorithm and taking into account the previously defined keywords.  

 

The operator of the Google AdWords services is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.  

 

The purpose of Google AdWords is to promote our website by displaying interest-relevant advertising on the websites of third-party companies and in the search engine results of the Google search engine and by displaying third-party advertising on our website.  

 

If a data subject reaches our website via a Google ad, a so-called conversion cookie is placed on the information technology system of the data subject by Google. What cookies are has already been explained above. A conversion cookie loses its validity after thirty days and does not serve to identify the data subject. If the cookie has not yet expired, the conversion cookie is used to track whether certain sub-pages, such as the shopping cart of an online shop system, have been accessed on our website. Through the conversion cookie, both we and Google can track whether a data subject who reached our website via an AdWords ad generated a sale, i.e., completed or canceled a purchase.  

 

The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie are used by Google to create visit statistics for our website. These visit statistics are in turn used by us to determine the total number of users who were referred to us via AdWords ads, i.e., to determine the success or failure of the respective AdWords ad and to optimize our AdWords ads for the future. Neither our company nor other Google AdWords advertisers receive information from Google by means of which the data subject could be identified.  

 

By means of the conversion cookie, personal information, such as the websites visited by the data subject, is stored. Each time our websites are visited, personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, is therefore transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected via the technical process to third parties.  

 

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as already described above, at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the internet browser used would also prevent Google from placing a conversion cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, a cookie already set by Google AdWords can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.  

 

Furthermore, the data subject has the option to object to interest-based advertising by Google. To do this, the data subject must access the link www.google.de/settings/ads from each of the internet browsers they use and make the desired settings there.  

 

Further information and the applicable privacy policy of Google can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/en/policies/privacy/.  

 

9. Legal Basis for Processing  

Article 6(1)(a) GDPR serves as the legal basis for our company for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of any other service or consideration, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example, in cases of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation by which the processing of personal data is required, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(c) GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured at our company and their name, age, health insurance data, or other vital information would need to be passed on to a doctor, hospital, or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Article 6(1)(d) GDPR. Finally, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal grounds if the processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject. Such processing operations are particularly permissible because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. The legislator considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a client of the controller (Recital 47, Sentence 2 GDPR).  

 

10. Legitimate Interests Pursued by the Controller or a Third Party  

Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, our legitimate interest is to carry out our business activities for the well-being of all our employees and shareholders.  

 

11. Duration for Which Personal Data Are Stored

The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After the expiration of this period, the corresponding data are routinely deleted, provided they are no longer necessary for the fulfillment or initiation of a contract.  

 

12. Statutory or Contractual Provisions for the Provision of Personal Data; Necessity for the Conclusion of a Contract; Obligation of the Data Subject to Provide Personal Data; Possible Consequences of Non-Provision 

We inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g., tax regulations) or may also result from contractual provisions (e.g., information about the contractual partner). Sometimes it may be necessary for the conclusion of a contract that a data subject provides us with personal data, which must subsequently be processed by us. The data subject is, for example, obliged to provide us with personal data when our company concludes a contract with them. Failure to provide the personal data would result in the contract with the data subject not being concluded. Before providing personal data, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee will inform the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and what the consequences of non-provision of the personal data would be.  

 

13. Existence of Automated Decision-Making

As a responsible company, we do not use automated decision-making or profiling.  

 

This privacy policy was created by the privacy policy generator of DGD Deutsche Gesellschaft für Datenschutz GmbH, which acts as an External Data Protection Officer in Regensburg, in cooperation with the Cologne IT and data protection lawyer Christian Solmecke.
