3. Cookies
The website partly uses so-called cookies. Cookies do not damage your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies serve to make our website more user-friendly, effective and safer. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.

You can set your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and to allow cookies only in individual cases, to exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If you deactivate cookies, the functionality of this website may be limited.
4. Collection of general data and information
The website of FMP software & process engineering GmbH collects a number of general data and information every time the website is accessed by a data subject or automated system. This general data and information is stored in the server log files. The following can be recorded: (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system accesses our website, (4) the sub-websites that are accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of an access to the Internet site, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system and (8) other similar data and information which serve to prevent danger in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
When using this general data and information, FMP software & process engineering GmbH does not draw any conclusions about the person concerned. Rather, this information is required in order to (1) deliver the contents of our website correctly, (2) optimize the contents of our website and the advertising for it, (3) ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) provide law enforcement agencies with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber-attack. This anonymously collected data and information is therefore evaluated by FMP software & process engineering GmbH on the one hand statistically and also with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company, in order to ultimately ensure an optimum level of protection for the personal data processed by us. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a person concerned.

– The processing is unlawful; the data subject refuses to have the personal data deleted and instead requests that the use of the personal data be restricted
– The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but the data subject needs them in order to exercise or defend his rights
– The data subject has lodged an objection to the processing pursuant to Article 21 (1) of the DPA and it is not yet clear whether the legitimate reasons of the controller outweigh those of the data subject

This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

For this purpose, as well as for further questions on the subject of personal data, you can contact us at any time at the address given in the imprint.
6. Data protection for applications and in the application process
The controller collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of processing the application procedure. The processing may also be carried out by electronic means. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits relevant application documents to the data controller electronically, for example by e-mail.
If the data controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the data transferred is stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in accordance with the legal requirements. If the data controller does not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the applicant documents are automatically deleted after the rejection decision has been announced, provided that no other legitimate interests of the data controller conflict with deletion.
7. Purpose and legal basis of the processing
When processing your personal data, the provisions of the EU-DS-GVO and all other applicable data protection regulations are observed. The legal basis for data processing is derived in particular from Art. 6 EU-DS-GVO.
We use your data for business initiation, to fulfil contractual and legal obligations, to implement the contractual relationship, to offer products and services and to strengthen customer relations, which may also include analyses for marketing purposes, customer satisfaction surveys and direct advertising.
8. Legitimate interests in the processing pursued by the controller or a third party
If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I lit. f DS-GVO, our legitimate interest is to carry out our business activities for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders.
9. Duration of personal data storage
We store your data as long as they are needed for the respective processing purpose. Please note that numerous retention periods require that data is (must be) still stored. This applies in particular to storage obligations under commercial or tax law (e.g. German Commercial Code, German Fiscal Code, etc.). Provided that there are no further storage obligations, the data will be routinely deleted once the purpose has been achieved.
In addition, we may retain data if you have given us your permission to do so or if legal disputes arise and we use evidence within the scope of statutory limitation periods, which can be up to thirty years; the regular limitation period is three years.
10. Legal or contractual regulations for the provision of personal data
We would like to inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or can also result from contractual regulations (e.g. information on the contractual partner).
Sometimes it may be necessary for a contract to be concluded that a data subject provides us with personal data, which must subsequently be processed by us. For example, the person concerned is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company concludes a contract with him/her. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the person concerned could not be concluded.
Before the person concerned makes personal data available, he or she must contact one of our employees. Our employee will inform the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of the 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 would be if the personal data were not provided.

To use the functions of Google Maps it is necessary to store your IP address. This information is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The provider of this site has no influence on this data transfer.
The use of Google Maps is in the interest of an attractive presentation of our online offers and to make it easy to find the places we have indicated on the website. This represents a legitimate interest in the sense of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.

14. Registration for training courses or filling out a contact form
If you send us enquiries via the contact form, your details from the enquiry form, including the contact data you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent.
The processing of the data entered in the contact form is thus exclusively based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO). You can revoke this consent at any time. For this purpose, an informal notification by e-mail to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing operations carried out up to the time of revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
The data entered by you in the contact form will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to its storage or the purpose for which it was stored ceases to apply (e.g. after your enquiry has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.
