The FASTEC GmbH relies on the following legal grounds for such processing activities:

  • Performance of the contractual relationship with the Business Partner (Art. 6 lit. b GDPR);
  • Legitimate interest of the FASTEC GmbH, FASTEC GmbH’s affiliates or other third parties (such as governmental bodies or courts) (Art. 6 lit. f GDPR). The legitimate interest could be in particular group-wide information sharing, marketing and CRM activities, prevention of fraud, misuse of IT systems, or money laundering, operation of a whistleblowing scheme, physical security, IT and network security, internal investigations, or potential merger and acquisition activities
  • Consent (Art. 6 lit. a GDPR);
  • Compliance with legal obligations (Art. 6 lit. c GDPR);
 

The provision of personal data is necessary for the conclusion and/or performance of the Business Partner contract, and is voluntary. However, if you do not provide personal data, the affected Business Partner management and administration processes might be delayed or impossible.

 

Categories of Recipients:

The FASTEC GmbH may engage service providers, acting as processors, in order to provide IT and other administrative support (e.g., service providers who provide account payable support or IT hosting and maintenance support). Those service providers may have access to your personal data to the extent necessary to provide such services.

Any access to your personal data is restricted to those individuals that have a need to know in order to fulfill their job responsibilities.

The FASTEC GmbH may also disclose your personal data as required or permitted by applicable law to governmental authorities, courts, external advisors, and similar third parties.

 

Retention Period:

Your personal data is stored by the FASTEC GmbH and/or our service providers, strictly to the extent necessary for the performance of our obligations and strictly for the time necessary to achieve the purposes for which the information is collected, in accordance with applicable data protection laws. When the FASTEC GmbH no longer needs to use your personal data to comply with contractual or statutory obligations, we will remove it from our systems and records and/or take steps to properly anonymize it so that you can no longer be identified from it, unless we need to keep your information, including personal data, to comply with legal or regulatory obligations to which the FASTEC GmbH is subject, e.g. statutory retention periods, or if we need it to preserve evidence within the statutes of limitation, which is usually three years but can be up to thirty years. However, saved e-mails containing contact person’s data will not be deleted if they are within the statute of limitations.

 

Your Rights:

If you have declared your consent regarding certain types of processing activities, you can withdraw this consent at any time with future effect. Such a withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of the processing prior to the consent withdrawal.

Please note that these aforementioned rights might be limited under the applicable national data protection law. 

  • a) Right of access: You may have the right to obtain from us confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning you is processed, and, where that is the case, to request access to the personal data. The access information includes – inter alia – the purposes of the processing, the categories of personal data concerned, and the recipients or categories of recipient to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed. However, this is not an absolute right and the interests of other individuals restrict your right of access.
  • You may have the right to obtain a copy of the personal data undergoing processing. 
  • For further copies requested by you, we may charge a reasonable fee based on administrative costs.

  • c) Right to erasure (right to be forgotten): Under certain circumstances, you may have the right to obtain from us the erasure of personal data concerning you and we may be obliged to erase such personal data.
 
  • d) Right to restriction of processing: Under certain circumstances, you may have the right to obtain from us restriction of processing your personal data. In this case, the respective data will be marked and may only be processed by us for certain purposes.
 
  • e) Right to data portability: Under certain circumstances, you may have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided to us, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and you may have the right to transmit those data to another entity without hindrance from us.
 

Right to Object Pursuant to Art. 21 General Data Protection Regulation

You have the right to object on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to the processing of your personal data concerning you which is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. e and f GDPR and we can be required to no longer process your personal data. As the FASTEC GmbH processes and uses your personal data primarily for purposes of carrying out the contractual relationship with the Business Partner, the FASTEC GmbH will in principle have a legitimate interest for the processing which will override your objection request, unless the restriction request relates to marketing activities.
