General information

At FKN HOLDING GmbH & Co. KG, we take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat all personal data confidentially and process it in accordance with applicable legislation and this privacy policy. It is possible to use this website without providing any personal data. Insofar as possible, personal data (e.g. your name, address or email address) is only collected on this website on a voluntary basis. We do not disclose your personal data to third parties without your express consent. We would like to remind you that when data is transferred online (e.g. by email), there are always some security risks. It is therefore impossible to fully protect data from third party access.

Cookies

Cookies are small files that are used to store specific equipment-related information on your device (PC, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when you visit this website. Cookies serve different purposes. Some help make the website more user friendly and thus improve the user experience (e.g. by saving login details). Others collect statistical data about how the website is used, which we analyse to help us improve our online offering. You can decide whether or not to accept cookies. Most browsers have an option for restricting the storage of cookies or blocking them completely.

 

Data security

We implement all the technical and organisational measures required to ensure adequate protection of your personal data, in particular those defined in para. 9 of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) or, as of 25 May 2018, in Art. 32 of the GDPR.

 

Encryption

When you send us data (e.g. via the contact or application forms), we use the latest encryption protocols to protect the data during the transfer (e.g. SSL via HTTPS). If a connection is encrypted, you will see a padlock symbol in the address bar, and the address will start with "https://".

 

Server log files

The website provider automatically collects and stores information in server log files, which your browser automatically sends to us. These are:

  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system
  • Referrer URL
  • Hostname of the computer accessing the website
  • Time of the server request

This data cannot be linked to specific persons. This data is not merged with other data sources. We reserve the right to check this data subsequently if we become aware of evidence of illegal use.

 

Contact form

If you send us an enquiry using the contact form, the data you enter, including contact details, is stored by us for the purposes of processing your enquiry and in case of follow-up questions. The data you enter in the contact form is only processed on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can withdraw this consent at any time. An informal message to us by email is sufficient for this. The legality of the data processing performed prior to withdrawal of consent remains unaffected. We continue to hold the data that you enter in the contact form until you ask us to erase it, you withdraw your consent to the storage of the data or the purpose for the data storage no longer applies (e.g. the processing of your enquiry has been completed). If we do not enter into a contractual relationship with you, we delete your data after 6 months. This is without prejudice to any mandatory statutory regulations – in particular retention periods.

 

Use and retention of data

Unless otherwise required by law, we only use the personal data we collect from you to provide you with the information or services you require, or for other purposes (e.g. managing job applications) for which you have given your consent. Our employees are bound by a duty of discretion and must comply with the provisions of para. 5 BDSG. (From 25 May 2018: Commitment to confidentiality.) We block your data or delete it from the system after 3 months, providing there are no other grounds for keeping it (e.g. legal grounds due to the establishment of a contractual relationship) (Art. 17, 18 GDPR).
