Cookies

‘Cookies’ are small files that are stored on users’ computers. Various types of information can be stored within cookies. A cookie is primarily used to store information about a user (or the device on which the cookie is stored) during or after their visit to a website. Temporary cookies, or ‘session cookies’ or ‘transient cookies’, are cookies that are deleted once a user leaves a website and closes their browser. Cookies that remain stored even after the browser is closed are referred to as ‘permanent’ or ‘persistent’. For example, the login status can be stored if users return to the site after several days. Similarly, such a cookie may store users’ interests, which are used for audience measurement or marketing purposes. ‘Third-party cookies’ are cookies provided by providers other than the controller operating the online service (otherwise, if only the controller’s own cookies are used, these are referred to as ‘first-party cookies’). We may use temporary and permanent cookies and provide further information on this in our privacy policy.

If users do not wish to have cookies stored on their computer, they are asked to disable the relevant option in their browser’s settings. Stored cookies can be deleted via the browser’s settings. Disabling cookies may result in certain features of this website not working properly.

Access, erasure, blocking

All information that Frinorm AG receives from you will be stored solely for processing purposes, treated confidentially and not disclosed to third parties. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

Business-related processing

In addition, we process

contract data (e.g. subject matter of the contract, term, customer category)
payment data (e.g. bank details, payment history)

from our customers, prospective customers and business partners for the purposes of providing contractual services, customer service and support, marketing, advertising and market research.

The data processed includes the master data of our contractual partners (e.g. names and addresses), contact details (e.g. email addresses and telephone numbers), as well as contractual data (e.g. services used, contract terms, contractual correspondence, names of contact persons) and payment data (e.g. bank details, payment history).

As a general rule, we do not process special categories of personal data, unless these form part of commissioned or contractual processing.

We process data that is necessary for the establishment and fulfilment of contractual obligations and will indicate the necessity of providing such data where this is not obvious to the contracting parties. Disclosure to external persons or companies takes place only where required under a contract. When processing data entrusted to us in the context of a contract, we act in accordance with the client’s instructions and the statutory requirements.

Newsletter

The following information explains the content of our newsletter, as well as the procedures for subscription, distribution and statistical analysis, and your rights to object. By subscribing to our newsletter, you agree to receive it and to the procedures described.

Content of the newsletter: We send newsletters, emails and other electronic communications containing promotional information (hereinafter ‘newsletters’) only with the consent of the recipients or where permitted by law. Where the content of the newsletter is specifically described during the registration process, this content is decisive for the user’s consent. In addition, our newsletters contain information about our products and related details (e.g. safety instructions), offers, promotions and our company.

Double opt-in and logging: Subscription to our newsletter is carried out via a so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that, after subscribing, you will receive an email asking you to confirm your subscription. This confirmation is necessary to ensure that no one can subscribe using someone else’s email address. Subscriptions to the newsletter are logged so that we can provide evidence of the subscription process in accordance with legal requirements. This includes storing the time of subscription and confirmation, as well as the IP address. Any changes to your data stored with the mailing service provider are also logged.

Registration details: To subscribe to the newsletter, simply provide your email address. We also ask you to provide a name, if you wish, so that we can address you personally in the newsletter.

Unsubscribe/Withdrawal: You can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time, i.e. withdraw your consent. You will find a link to unsubscribe from the newsletter at the bottom of every newsletter. We may store unsubscribed email addresses for up to three years on the basis of our legitimate interests before deleting them, in order to be able to prove that consent was previously given. The processing of this data is limited to the purpose of potentially defending against claims. An individual request for deletion is possible at any time, provided that the previous existence of consent is confirmed at the same time.

Newsletter – Mailchimp

This website uses MailChimp to send newsletters. The provider is Rocket Science Group LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA. MailChimp is a service that can be used, amongst other things, to organise and analyse the sending of newsletters. If you enter data for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter (e.g. email address), this data is stored on MailChimp’s servers in the USA.

MailChimp is certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield. The Privacy Shield is an agreement between the European Union (EU) and the US designed to ensure compliance with European data protection standards in the US. We use MailChimp to analyse our newsletter campaigns. When you open an email sent via MailChimp, a file contained within the email (known as a web beacon) connects to MailChimp’s servers in the USA. This allows us to determine whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links, if any, have been clicked. Technical information is also collected (e.g. time of access, IP address, browser type and operating system). This information cannot be linked to the individual newsletter recipient. It is used solely for the statistical analysis of newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyses may be used to better tailor future newsletters to the interests of recipients.

If you do not wish your data to be analysed by MailChimp, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. We provide a link for this purpose in every newsletter message. You can also unsubscribe from the newsletter directly on the website. Data processing is carried out on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may withdraw this consent at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. The lawfulness of data processing operations that have already taken place remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

The data you have provided to us for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from both our servers and MailChimp’s servers once you have unsubscribed. Data stored by us for other purposes (e.g. email addresses for the members’ area) remains unaffected by this. For further details, please refer to MailChimp’s privacy policy.

Matomo

This website uses the open-source web analytics service Matomo. Matomo employs technologies that enable cross-page recognition of users for the purpose of analysing user behaviour (e.g. cookies or device fingerprinting). The information collected by Matomo regarding the use of this website is stored on our server. The IP address is anonymised before storage.

With the help of Matomo, we are able to collect and analyse data on how visitors use our website.

The use of this analytics tool is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour in order to optimise both its website and its advertising. Where consent has been obtained, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. Consent may be withdrawn at any time.

We use IP anonymisation when analysing data with Matomo. This involves truncating your IP address prior to analysis, so that it can no longer be uniquely attributed to you.
