Personal data is information about your personal or material circumstances. This includes information about your identity such as your name, your e-mail address, or your postal address. Information that cannot be directly linked to your identity (e.g. the number of users of the online offering) is not considered personal data. You can generally use our online offering without disclosing your identity and without providing any personal data. However, for some of the services on offer, e.g. if you wish to order one of our catalogues, we need to collect personal data from you. We collect, store, and use such data exclusively in relation with the use of the site http://www.favius.de more specifically for handling your inquiries.
Storage and processing of personal information
We store your information on protected dedicated servers. Technical and organisational measures are taken to protect such servers against loss, destruction, access, modification, or dissemination of your data by unauthorized persons. Access to your data will be permitted only to a limited number of persons in charge of the technical, commercial, or editorial support of the servers. Notwithstanding regular controls, full protection against all risks cannot be provided. Our web pages and your entries on our web pages are transmitted over the Internet in encrypted form through HTTPS.
Disclosure of personal data to third parties
We will use your personal information exclusively for the fulfilment of the services requested by you (e.g. when handling your order). Insofar as we use external service providers in performing the service requested, such external service providers will also access the data exclusively for the purpose of performing the service. By taking the necessary technical and organisational measures we ensure compliance with privacy policies and we demand the same of our external partners. Moreover, we will not disclose the data to any third parties, including without limitation for advertising purposes, without your express consent. We will disclose your personal data only if you have given your consent to disclosure of the data or insofar as we are entitled or obligated to do so pursuant to legal provisions and/or administrative or judicial orders. This may include, without being limited to, giving information for purposes of criminal prosecution, in order to avert danger, or in order to enforce intellectual property rights.
Communication to other countries
As a globally operative company favius is dependent upon being able to communicate its data to other countries, e.g., if the central server on which the data is stored is located in a third country. If your data has been communicated to a third country we do everything it can to prevent this causing you inconvenience. We only communicate data to countries that can guarantee an appropriate level of data security. Data can be transferred to countries that are not members of the European Union.
Information relating to your computer
Every time you access our online offering, we will collect the following information relating to your computer, regardless of whether or not you have registered: the IP address of your computer, the inquiry of your web browser, and the time stamp of that inquiry. In addition, the status and the amount of data transmitted in the course of the inquiry are collected. We also collect product and version information about the web browser used and the operating system of the computer. Furthermore, we record the website from which our online offering has been accessed. The IP address of your computer is stored only for the duration of your use of our online offering; afterwards, it is deleted or anonymised by truncation. The remaining data is stored for a limited period of time. We use this data to operate the online offering, more specifically for troubleshooting, or in order to assess the degree of utilisation of the online offering, or to carry out adjustments or improvements thereof.
