(3) Unless otherwise specified below, the legal basis for handling your personal data arises from the need to process the data in order to provide the services requested by you on this website (Art. 6(1) (b) General Data Protection Regulation).
hereinafter referred to as “Faller”, “we” or “us”. Further information about the provider is available on our website under Legal Notice.
(2) You can reach the company’s Data Protection Officer as follows: by email to datenschutz@august-faller.com or at our postal address by adding “Data Protection Officer”.
(2) User IP addresses are deleted or anonymised after use.

(1) In addition to the aforementioned log-file data, cookies are stored on your computer when you use our website. Cookies are small text files that are assigned to and stored on your hard disk by your browser and which send certain information to the operator that sets the cookie (in this case, us). Cookies cannot execute programs or transmit viruses to your computer. They help to make our website more user-friendly and efficient.
b) Session cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser. They store what is known as a session-ID enabling various requests from your browser to be assigned to the session. This enables us to identify your computer the next time you visit our website. Session cookies are deleted when you log out or close the browser.
c) Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a specific time which may differ depending on the cookie. You can delete cookies in the security settings of your browser at any time.
(3) Why do we set cookies?
When you visit our website, the country and language, that is either detected automatically or selected by you, is saved in cookies so that you do not have to re-enter them on subsequent visits. Before this, we check whether your browser supports cookies and this information is stored in another cookie. Local contact information based on the country and language will then be displayed, and will also be saved. Legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1), sentence 1 (b) GDPR.
We set cookies so that we can identify you on subsequent visits and determine whether you have a “My Faller” account (see Section 5). Legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1), sentence 1 (b) GDPR.
We use advertising cookies in order to assess and optimise the effectiveness of our advertising measures. We also use advertising cookies in order to send targeted advertising to users of our internet site when they are on other internet sites in the Google Display Network (“Google” for short) (Adwords remarketing). Legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1), sentence 1 (f) GDPR.
We use the web analysis service Google Analytics in order to ensure the continuous improvement of our internet site for our customers and potential customers. By using these cookies, we obtain information from Google about the use of our internet site. For example, we find out how often and in what order the individual pages are accessed and on average how much time visitors spend on our site. We find out whether users have already visited our website previously. Legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1), sentence 1 (f) GDPR.
You can configure your browser settings to suit your own preferences and e.g. manage or refuse acceptance of third-party cookies or any cookies as desired. You can delete existing cookies by way of your browser settings. We would point out, that doing this may prevent you from using all the functions of this website.
(1) On this website, you can create your own individualised subject pages using the navigation in “My Faller”. This function works by means of what are called cookies (see Cookies section).
(2) “My Faller” enables you to contact us about the subjects selected by you. Your selected solutions will then also be displayed to us in the message sent by you. The same applies to the use of contact boxes which you can use to write directly to one of our staff or to request them to call you back (see Section 7, Contact Form and Email Contact). Under no circumstances do we share this data with third parties but use it only in order to improve our business relationship.
(3) Legal basis for processing data where we have the user’s consent is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. Legal basis for processing data transmitted in the course of sending an email or for the purpose of creating the individualised subject pages is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
(1) For advertising purposes, i.e. sending product and service information as well as invitations to trade fairs and events, electronically by e-mail or by post (hereinafter “Product and Service Information”) we ask potential customers for their express consent and agreement to this Data Privacy Statement.
(2) We use what is known as the double-opt-in procedure. That means that, when you register, we will send an email to the email address specified in the registration, in which we will ask for your consent to receiving Product and Service Information by email/post. If you fail to confirm your registration within 24 hours, your information will be blocked and, after one month, it will be deleted. In addition, we store the addresses which you use and the times of registration and confirmation. The purpose of the procedure is to be able to provide proof of your registration and, if necessary, investigate any misuse of your personal data.
(3) Following your confirmation, we will store your email address in order to send you Product and Service Information. Legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1), sentence 1 (a) GDPR.
(4) You can withdraw and cancel your consent to receiving Product and Service Information at any time. You can indicate your withdrawal of consent by clicking on the link provided in every email or by sending a message to the contact details shown under the Legal Notice.
(1) Various contact forms are available on our website which can be used for contacting us electronically. Firstly, there is the general contact form available under “Contact”. In addition, you can also contact us by way of the personalised subject page “My Faller” (see Section 5). You can also send us your enquiries as part of the online job application process (see Section 8) using your own contact form. Where a user makes use of this possibility, the data entered into the input mask will be transmitted to us and stored. The corresponding data can be seen immediately on the relevant input mask.
(2) In order to process the data, we will always ask for your consent as part of the sending process and refer you to the Data Privacy Statement. Alternatively, we may be contacted via the email addresses provided. In this case, the user’s personal data sent with the email will be stored. The data will be used exclusively for the purpose of processing the enquiry.
(3) Legal basis for processing data where we have the user’s consent is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. Legal basis for processing data transmitted in the course of sending an email is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Where the purpose of the email contact is to conclude a contract, the additional legal basis for processing it is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR. Where the purpose of the contact enquiry or email is to initiate an employment contract, particularly in the context of the online job application process, the legal basis is Section 26 German Data Protection Act (BDSG).
(4) Personal data contained in an input mask is processed solely for the purpose of dealing with the communication. In the event of contact by e-mail, the necessary legitimate interest in processing the data also applies. Other personal data processed during the sending process is intended to prevent misuse of the contact form and safeguard the security of our IT systems.
(5) Data is deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for achieving the purpose for which it was collected. As regards personal data from the input mask on the contact form and that which was sent by email, this is the case when the relevant conversation with the user is finished. The conversation is finished when the circumstances indicate that the matter has been conclusively dealt with. Any additional personal data collected during the sending process will be deleted after a period of no more than seven days.
(1) In order to deal with your online job application, we collect, process and use your personal data. Your online application data is transmitted by email directly to the HR department and will of course be treated confidentially. Appropriate technical and organisational measures ensure that your personal data is handled confidentially in accordance with the statutory provisions.
(2) When completing your online application, please take note that the data is transmitted by email in unencrypted form and that unauthorised persons may be able to access or falsify the data under certain circumstances. You may of course send us your documents by post. If you are applying for a specific position which has already been filled, or if we consider you to be equally or better suited to another position, we will be happy to forward your application to another department within our company. Please inform us if you do not agree to this procedure. At the end of the application process, but after no more than 6 months, your personal data will be deleted automatically unless you give your express consent to a longer storage period.

Google Analytics uses what are called “cookies”, text files that are stored on your computer and enable your use of the website to be analysed. The information generated by the cookie as a result of your use of this website is generally sent to a Google server in the USA where it is stored. Prior to this, however, if IP anonymisation is activated on this website, in Member States of the European Union or other member states of the European Economic Area, your IP address will be shortened by Google. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Google is engaged by the operator of this website to use this information in order to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and provide other services related to website usage and use of the internet, for the website operator.
(2) The IP address transmitted to Google Analytics by your browser will not be combined with other Google data.

(5) We use Google Analytics in order to analyse the use of our website and ensure its regular improvement. The statistics obtained enable us to improve our content and make it more interesting for you as a user.
