3. General information and compulsory information

Data protection

The operators of these websites take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We handle your personal data confidentially and in line with statutory data protection provisions and this data protection statement.

Various personal data is collected when you use this website.

Personal data is data via which you can be personally identified. This data protection statement explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.

Please note that data transfer on the internet (e.g. in e-mail communication) may have some security gaps. It is not possible to provide complete protection against third parties accessing data.

Information about the controller

The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:

Fornax Technologies GmbH
Josef-Reuschenbach-Strasse 4
53547 Breitscheid

Telephone: +49 2638 39639 0
E-Mail: info@fornax-tec.net

The controller is the natural or legal person which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g. name, e-mail addresses etc.).

Information on data transfer in the USA

Some of the tools incorporated into our website are from companies with their registered office in the USA. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to the US servers of the respective companies. The USA is not a safe third country in the sense of EU data protection law. US companies are obligated to hand over personal data to security authorities without you as the data subject being able to take legal action against this.

It therefore cannot be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. secret services) process, evaluate and permanently store your data that is located on US servers for monitoring purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.

Withdrawal of your consent to data processing

Many data processing procedures are only possible with your express consent. You can withdraw consent already granted at any time. The lawfulness of data processing performed prior to the withdrawal shall remain unaffected by the withdrawal.

Right to object to data being collected in special cases and to direct marketing (Article 21 GDPR)

IF DATA IS PROCESSED ON THE BASIS OF ARTICLE 6 PARAGRAPH 1 LIT. E OR F GDPR,

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT, ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA; THIS ALSO INCLUDES PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING CAN BE FOUND IN THS DATA PROTECTION STATEMENT. IF YOU RAISE AN OBJECTION, WE SHALL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA, UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING, WHICH OVERRIRDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES TO ESTABLISH, EXERCISE OR DEFEND LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION AS PER ARTICLE 21 PARAGRAPH 1 GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA FOR SUCH DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES; THE SAME APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA SHALL NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 21 PARAGRAPH 2 GDPR).

Right to lodge a complaint with the responsible supervisory authority

In the event of a breach of the GDPR, the data subject has the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of his or her habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.

Right to data portability

You have the right for data that we process automatically based on your consent or when executing a contract to be sent to you or a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you demand the direct transfer of data from one controller to another, this shall only be performed if it is technically feasible.

SSL and TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transfer of confidential content, for example orders or enquiries that you send to us as website operator, this website uses an SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line in the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and the lock symbol appears in the browser line.

If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you send to us cannot be read by third parties.

Right to access, erasure and rectification

Within the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right to receive free information at any time about your personal data stored, its origin and recipient, the purpose of the data processing and, where applicable, the right to have this data rectified or erased. You can contact us at any time using the address stated in the legal notice in relation to this issue and any other questions related to your personal data.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to demand that the processing of your personal data is restricted. You can do this at any time using the address stated in the legal notice. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

If you contest the accuracy of the personal data stored, it generally takes us time to verify this. You have the right to demand that the processing of your personal data is restricted for the duration of the review.
If your personal data was/is processed unlawfully, you can demand that the data processing is restricted instead of the data being erased.
If we no longer need your personal data but you require it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims, you have the right to demand that the processing of your personal data is restricted instead of being erased.
If you have objected to processing pursuant to Article 21 Paragraph 1 GDPR, it must be verified whether our interests override your interests. Until it has been established whose interests prevail, you have the right to demand that the processing of your personal data is restricted.
If you have restricted processing of your personal data, this data may – with the exception of storage – only be processed with your consent or for establishing, exercising or defending legal claims, or for protecting the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.

Objection to advertising e-mails

An objection is hereby raised to the use of contact data published as part of the legal notice obligation for sending advertising and information material that has not been expressly requested. The operators of the pages reserve the express right to take legal steps in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, for example in the form of spam e-mails.

Permanent cookies remain stored on your end device until you delete them yourself or they are automatically deleted by your web browser.

Cookies from third-party companies may also be stored on your end device when you access our website (third-party cookies). These enable you or us to use certain services from the third-party company (e.g. cookies for handling payment services).

Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not function without them (e.g. the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies are used to evaluate user behaviour or show advertisements.

Cookies that are required to perform the electronic communication procedure (necessary cookies) or to provide specific functions desired by you (functional cookies e.g. for the shopping cart function) or to optimise the website (e.g. cookies to measure the interest audience) are stored on the basis of Article 6 Paragraph 1 lit. f GDPR, if no other legal foundation is stated. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies to optimise its services and provide them without any technical errors.

You can set your browser in such a way that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, accept cookies in specific cases or generally exclude them. You can also activate the automatic deletion of cookies when you close the browser. Deactivating cookies may restrict the functionality of this website.

If cookies are set by third-party companies or for analysis purposes, we shall inform you of this separately within the framework of this data protection statement and request your consent if required.

In all remaining cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest to effectively process requests sent to us (Article 6 Paragraph 1 lit. f GDPR) or your consent (Article 6 Paragraph 1 lit. a GDPR) if this was requested.

The data input in the contact form, purchase form (purchase request) or request offer form remains with us until you request its deletion, withdraw your consent to it being stored, or the purpose for the data storage no longer exists (e.g. once your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – shall remain unaffected.
