We store your data until you unsubscribe. Thereafter we delete your data unless we are entitled and/or required for other reasons to continue storing them.
If you have explicitly granted consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 point a GDPR or if one of the other elements of Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 GDPR is satisfied (in particular, pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 point f GDPR, processing is necessary to safeguard our legitimate interests and your interests pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 point f GDPR do not take precedence), we use your name and mail address to send you information about our firm, newsletters and invitations to events of and with FGS.

We store your data after the end of the event and transmission of any documents for a maximum of three calendar years to enhance planning of future events and to invite you to any of these which are relevant. In particular, we hold certain events only at longer intervals, which makes this period necessary and appropriate. The legal basis for the storing of data is provided by Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 point f GDPR. If you inform us that you do not wish to receive further invitations, we will also immediately delete your data on other events you have attended.

We use cookies on our website. These are small files that are automatically created by your browser and stored on your device (laptop, tablet, smartphone or similar) when you visit our website. Cookies do not damage your device or contain any viruses, Trojan horses or other malware.
Cookies are repositories for information arising in connection with the device you are using. This does not mean, however, that we directly obtain any knowledge of your identity in this way.
Insofar as we use analytical measures, they are performed on the basis of Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 point f GDPR. By way of the adopted analytical measures, we seek to ensure that our website reflects users’ needs and is continuously improved. We also employ the measures to record statistics about the use of our website and for the purpose of enhancing our offering to you. These interests are to be regarded as legitimate within the meaning of the forenamed provision.
We currently use the tracking tool Jetpack only on the website www.fgs-blog.de (and its sub-pages), which, in conjunction with the use of WordPress to produce and update blogs, records the number and timing of visits to individual blogs. The collected data serve only the purposes of statistical analysis and improving the website; in particular, we evaluate the data in order to make the blogs more interesting and easier to find.
On our website we do not use any plug-ins for the social networks Twitter, LinkedIn and XING. We use links to the social networks Twitter, LinkedIn and XING in a way that does not establish any direct connection between your browser and the server of the social network concerned. The symbols of the relevant social networks appearing on our websites are simple links to our own pages on these networks. Responsibility for ensuring operation in compliance with data protection regulations rests with the individual network providers.
On the ‘press releases’ page, we have placed a button for sharing press releases with third parties via Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook and XING. We designed the sharing feature in a way that avoids sending data to the social network, as long as you have not selected the network by clicking the button to actually share the press release. Based on your selection another window will open and allow you to conclude the sharing in your accustomed social media environment.

In the second of these two cases, you have a right to object in general without invoking a particular situation and we shall comply with the objection. If you wish to exercise your right to withdraw consent or object, simply send an email to datenschutz@fgs.de.
When you visit our website we use the widely adopted protocol transport layer security (TLS) in conjunction with the highest encryption level supported by your browser. As a general rule, 256-bit encryption is supported. If your browser is incompatible with a 256-bit key, we revert to the 128-bit v3 technique instead. The open or closed lock or padlock symbol displayed on the browser page or further information contained in the properties of the browser show whether or not the data constituting our website are encrypted during their transmission.
