The protection of your personal data is important to us. Therefore we wish to inform you below about the general data privacy principles according to EU GDPR at Fr. Meyer's Sohn (GmbH & Co.) (hereafter "FMS" or "us", "we" and "our"), with which every FMS company pledges to comply.
Our general Data Protection Statement applies both to the initiation and execution of our business relations and the related transactions as well as in-house systems.
Personal data are all pieces of information which relate to an identifiable natural person. This includes, for instance, such information as your name, your phone number, your email or IP address. Information which we cannot link to your person, e.g. due to the anonymization of information, does not constitute personal data.
We are committed to the principle of data economy. We only collect, process, store, or transfer those data that are necessary for initiating or executing the respective business.
The processing of personal data always requires a legal basis or your consent. The personal data you provide during the initial business contact or for the execution of a business transaction are solely processed by our in-house systems for these purposes in accordance with the applicable data protection regulations. The processing of data is based on art. 6(1) lit. b and art. 6(1) lit. f General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), supplemented by any applicable national legal provisions; for Germany, e.g., art. 88 GDPR in conjunction with section 26(1) Federal Data Protection Act (FDPA). Personal data that have been processed are deleted as soon as the purpose of the processing has been achieved and any retention obligations required by law no longer apply.
You can revoke consent which you have previously granted without stating reasons by sending an email to our Data Protection Officer, Mr. Peter Thalacker (data-protection@fms-logistics.com). If you revoke your consent, the pertinent data are erased immediately. However, within the context of a business relationship we reserve the right to collect and request personal data from you as needed for specific purposes (phone number, email address).
When you are in a business relationship with FMS, your data are transmitted to the competent company department or to in-house systems as required to carry out an order. Your personal data are only passed on inasmuch as this is necessary to process your order efficiently.
Your data are stored on in-house servers of FMS. Your data are only accessed by authorized persons in the context of a business relationship and by staff members in the IT Operations Department inasmuch as this is necessary for the maintenance of the system (especially servicing and repair work) and to ensure data security. All persons who are authorized to process personal data and can access your personal data are pledged to confidentiality in accordance with the legal provisions. Your data are only transferred to third parties (e.g. authorities) to the extent that this is legally permissible, for instance when transmission is required to comply with a legal obligation to which FMS is subject (art. 6(1) lit. c GDPR).
Your personal data will be erased as soon as they are no longer required to carry out a joint business relationship. This does not apply to the extent that your personal data are subject to legally stipulated retention obligations which require storage of the data beyond the duration of the business relationship.
Taking the state of technology, the risks posed by processing, and the protection requirements concerning your data into account, FMS has taken suitable technical and organizational measures to protect the personal data provided by you pursuant to the legal provisions, especially art. 32 GDPR.
You have the right to information regarding the personal data FMS has stored about you. You may exercise this right by contacting our Data Protection Officer, Mr. Peter Thalacker, by sending an email to data-protection@fms-logistics.com. The information you receive must include a copy of your data which, in addition to your personal data, also states the recipients of data, the purpose of the storage, and all other legally required information pursuant to art. 15 GDPR. Upon your special request the data will be provided in a structured, standard, and machine-readable format. The competent IT department shall determine the applicable standard.
You have a right to the rectification of your personal data if they turn out to be inaccurate. You can also demand that incomplete personal data be completed.
another legal obligation to erase the data exists.
If there is an obligation to erase and the personal data have been made public, other data controllers must be informed about your request to erase with respect to all copies of your data.
you have objected to processing pursuant to art. 21(1) GDPR pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of FMS override our grounds.
Where the processing of your personal data has been restricted, such personal data shall, with the exception of storage, only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or of a Member State.
If the processing has been restricted pursuant to grounds specified above, FMS shall inform you before the restriction of processing is lifted. We will notify you within one month at the latest of any measures that have been taken in response to your request.
If you believe that the processing of your personal data violates the GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.
Changes in the legal regulations or internal business processes may necessitate amendments to this Data Protection Statement. The amendments to this guideline need not be formal to be effective, and FMS shall suitably notify you of such amendments.
Enforcement of and Compliance with the Data Protection Statement FMS pledges to adhere to the above provisions as described. If you have any questions or suggestions regarding data privacy, please contact our Data Protection officer, Mr. Peter Thalacker.

The usage of our online supply chain management system Cruise Control requires the collection, processing and storage of a limited quantity of personal data.
We require some of the data in order to set up and manage your user account or to tailor individual services. Other data - including in particular technical data - are on the other hand collected automatically by our IT system whenever the web application is visited. We require these data in order to ensure the error-free operation of the system for you.
We use additional logging and debugging outputs in order to analyze and rectify errors, which are temporarily stored in server log files. These log files are not attributed to any user and are deleted after ten days.
These data are not cross-referenced with data from other sources. The basis for data processing is point (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR, which permits data processing for the performance of a contract or in order to take steps prior to entering into a contract.
Cookies are small text files, which a website can store on a user's computer or save locally. Whenever individual pages are displayed Cruise Control uses so-called temporary cookies in order to facilitate navigation. These session cookies do not contain any personal data and expire at the end of the session. Cruise Control uses session cookies exclusively in order to establish the technical status of the application.
Our dashboard displays user cookies in order to store temporarily the display status of components. These cookies remain valid after the end of the session, although do not contain any personal data, but rather only status descriptions such as "off", "on" or "collapsed" so that certain fields (e.g. filters) can be loaded in expanded form. This means that the values associated with "usability cookies" do not contain any personal information.
You can prevent your browser from installing cookies by adjusting its settings accordingly. However, please note that, if cookies are disabled, the proper operation of our web application may be impaired.
Certain personal data must be collected and processed and certain access privileges for your mobile end device must be obtained in order for the Cruise Control mobile app to be used to the full.
