In addition, you can contact us in case of interest and inquiries about our products and services (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR). 

We have also set up a page for applications (career) where you can apply directly to us via a contact form (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR).

Categories of personal data

In order to operate the website at all, certain data must be processed for the server requests and thus to be able to provide the function of the website at all.

This is the following data that is collected. However, we do not evaluate any of these data and only serve the function of the page:

  • IP address
  • Date and time
  • requested page
  • Get and Post Requests
  • Browser used and its version
  • Operating system
  • Language
  • Time zone

Contact form for interested parties and customers

The following data will be processed by us. These are voluntary and mandatory fields. It is personal data, or purely technical data that you can enter. (Art. 6 para. 1 lit b, f GDPR)

Salutation, title, first name, last name, position, phone, email, company, address, country, product request (non-personal), message (free text) and document upload.

Contact form for service requests

The following data will be processed by us. In part, these are voluntary and mandatory fields.

Sending your applicant data via the form is transport encrypted, but not end-to-end encrypted. This means that it is similar to sending us your data as a non-encrypted email.

Recipients or categories of recipients of the personal data

Only the responsible FIMA employees receive this data. Hosters and IT service providers also have access to the server log data, but not to personal data that you provide to us via the contact forms. These are only processed by the respective departments.
