Hosting

The website runs on our own server at Hetzner Online GmbH, Industriestr. 25, 91710 Gunzenhausen, Germany, in a data centre in Germany. Hetzner processes the data on our behalf (Art. 28 GDPR).

Server log files

When you visit the website, your browser automatically transmits data to our server. The following information may be logged:

  • IP address
  • date and time of access
  • page or file requested
  • browser type and version, operating system
  • referrer URL (the previously visited page)

This data is not combined with other data. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR; our legitimate interest is the secure and error-free operation of the website. The logs are deleted automatically after a short time.

Contact form and enquiries by email or phone

When you write to us via the contact form, your enquiry (name, email address, subject, message) is forwarded by email to verkauf@fsg-schaefer.de. It is not stored on the web server; only to protect against mass spam is your IP address kept in memory for at most one hour. We use IONOS SE, Elgendorfer Str. 57, 56410 Montabaur, Germany, as our service provider for sending the email. The following applies accordingly to enquiries by email or phone.

We only use your information to handle your enquiry and do not pass it on without your consent. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR where your enquiry relates to a contract or to steps prior to entering into a contract; otherwise our legitimate interest in answering enquiries (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).

We keep your data until you ask us to delete it, withdraw your consent or the purpose no longer applies (e.g. once your enquiry has been dealt with). Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

Link to Google Maps

The “Plan route” link is an ordinary link to Google Maps. Google Maps only opens when you click it; no data is transmitted to Google beforehand. Google Ireland Limited is responsible for the processing on Google's pages.

SSL/TLS encryption

This website uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by “https://” and the padlock symbol in your browser's address bar. Data you send to us cannot then be read by third parties.

Your rights

Within the limits of the law, you have the right at any time to:

  • access to your stored data (Art. 15 GDPR)
  • rectification (Art. 16 GDPR)
  • erasure (Art. 17 GDPR)
  • restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR)
  • data portability (Art. 20 GDPR)
  • withdraw any consent given, with effect for the future (Art. 7(3) GDPR)

Right to object: Where we process data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, you may object at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation (Art. 21 GDPR).

An informal message to the contact details above is sufficient. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, your place of work or the place of the alleged infringement. The authority responsible for us is the Landesbeauftragte für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit Nordrhein-Westfalen (www.ldi.nrw.de).
