4 Retrieving the Website

4.1 Description and scope of data processing

Each time the website is retrieved, the client sends data to the server, which automatically collects and processes it. The following data is collected here:

  1. the date and time of retrieval;
  2. identity characteristics of the user (IP address of the client, remote user);
  3. which files (HTML page, images, ...) are requested;
  4. information about the client (browser type, browser version, operating system);
  5. which website the client previously retrieved (referrer URL);
  6. the result of the retrieval (volume of data transferred, duration and status).

The data is also stored in the log files of the server. A combination of this data with other data sources does not take place.

4.2 Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

4.3 Purpose of data processing

The temporary storage and processing of the data by the server is necessary to enable the delivery of the website to the client. For this purpose, the data must remain stored for the duration of the retrieval.

The data is stored in the log files to ensure the functionality of the website, the security of the server, and the optimization of the website. An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place. Hence the legitimate interest of the provider in data processing according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

4.4 Duration of storage

The data required for the delivery of the website will be deleted when the respective retrieval is finished. The data in the log files will be deleted after four days at the latest, unless further storage is necessary for evidentiary purposes (e.g., in the event of an attack on the server). Data required for evidence purposes will only be deleted after the incident has been finally clarified.

4.5 Possibility of objection and elimination

The collection of the data for the delivery of the website and the storage of the data in log files are absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no possibility of objection on the part of the user.

5 Email Communication

5.1 Description and scope of data processing

When an email is written to an email address ending in @fepcos.info, the following data will be processed and stored on the server:

5.2 Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the processing and storage of extended connection data is the legitimate interest of the provider in functioning email communication according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

The legal basis for processing and storing the email is the legitimate interest of the controller in handling the conversation in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If the email is intended to conclude a contract, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR additionally serves as the legal basis for processing and storing the email.

5.3 Purpose of data processing

To ensure functioning email communication, technical control of the server is necessary. The extended connection data is stored for the purpose of technical control of the server and processed if necessary.

The storage and processing of emails serve solely for handling the conversation.

5.4 Duration of storage

The stored extended connection data will be deleted after 14 days.

The stored emails will be deleted when the respective conversation with the user is concluded and there is no legal retention period to the contrary. The conversation is typically considered concluded when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter under discussion has been finally clarified.

5.5 Possibility of objection and elimination

The storage of the extended connection data and its processing when necessary are absolutely necessary to ensure functioning email communication. Consequently, the user cannot object to this.

The user can informally revoke its consent to the storage and processing of emails at any time. In such a case, the conversation cannot be continued and will be terminated; the stored emails will be deleted in accordance with subsection 5.4.

5.6 Note on encryption

Email communication is usually unencrypted.

As a result, it may be possible that the emails are read by third parties ‒ sending an email unencrypted is often compared to sending a postcard. Therefore, think carefully about which data you send via this communication channel and use a different one if necessary.

Encrypted email communication requires prior agreement with the controller.

8 Conclusion
