FLW takes data protection very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and process them in accordance with legal data protection regulations.

When you use this website, a variety of data are collected. Some of that data is personal data as defined in data protection legislation (in particular the GDPR). Personal data are data that can be used to identify you personally. In this statement, we explain what concrete data we collect and how we use them.

2.1 Use of the website

Some data are sent to our servers automatically by your browser when you visit the website (server log files), or through the use of technically necessary cookies. These are mainly technical data (e.g. internet browser, operating system, IP address, referrer URL or time and date of your visit, as well as dwell time). As far as this includes personal data, we process them based on our legitimate interest of providing you with a functioning, secure website (Art. 6 (1) f GDPR).

We process these personal data only for as long as they are necessary to achieve the purpose of a functioning and secure website. Beyond that, we store these personal data only to assert or defend against legal claims, or as long as we are legally required to store them.

2.2 Contacting us (contact form)

Other personal data are collected when you provide them to us. In particular, these are data you enter in our contact form.

If you send us an inquiry through our contact form, we process and store the information you provide in the inquiry form including the contact data you enter there for the purpose of processing your inquiry and in case we have follow-up questions. We process these data based on contract fulfilment (Art. 6 (1) b GDPR) and, if there is no contractual connection, based on our legitimate interest in offering you good service and respond to your contact request appropriately (depending on its content), or to initiate further measures (Art. 6 (1) f GDPR).

We process the data you enter in the contact form only for as long as this is necessary to process the request you expressed in the contact form. Beyond that, we store these personal data only to assert or defend against legal claims or as long as we are legally required to store them.

2.3 E-mail newsletter

When you sign up on our website for an event or for receiving notifications about or invitations to future events, we collect the following data from you: name, first name, e-mail address and (voluntary) name of your company.

We process these data exclusively for sending you the requested information and do not share them with third parties. These data are processed exclusively based on your consent (Art. 6 (1) a GDPR). Your given consent to the storage of the data, the e-mail address and their use for sending you information about events or invitations to future events can be revoked at any time by sending an e-mail to the e-mail address listed in the invitation. Your revocation does not affect the legitimacy of data processing that has already occurred. The data you have provided to us for the purpose of receiving event information and invitations are stored by us on our servers until you are removed from the distribution list, and deleted after you unsubscribe from the distribution. After you are removed from the distribution list, we may store your e-mail address in a so-called blacklist in order to prevent future mailings.  The data in the blacklist are only used for this purpose and not correlated with other data. This is both in your interest and in our interest in complying with legal requirements regarding the sending of e-mails (legitimate interest as defined in Art. 6 (1) f GDPR). Storage in the blacklist is not limited in time. You can object to this storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.

We use cookies or similar technologies on your website. Cookies are small text files that store information on your device or receive information from your device when you visit our website. Cookies are used to make our website more user-friendly, effective and secure.

Most of the cookies we use are so-called session cookies. They are deleted automatically after your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognise your browser the next time you visit.

A description of the purposes we pursue by using cookies, a list of the types of cookies we use, how and which cookies you can disable, as well as further information on the respective cookies are available in our Cookie Guideline.

During your first visit to our website (from each device) and any time after that, you can accept or reject individual or all cookies in our cookie consent solution (at the bottom left on the landing page of our website) under “Settings”. To do so, set the button next to each cookie to grey (off) or green (on) and then click “Save settings”.

Cookies which are necessary to operate this website and its functionalities are processed based on our legitimate interest of providing you with a functioning, secure website (Art. 6 (1) f GDPR). We do not correlate these data with other data sources, unless we explicitly describe it elsewhere on the website.

If cookies are stored for other purposes (e.g. analysis, personalisation of ads), they are described separately in the Cookie Guideline.

For security reasons and to protect the transfer of confidential content, such as inquiries via the contact form, this site uses SSL (secure socket layer) or TLS (transport layer security) encryption. This is an encryption protocol for secure data transfer on the internet. If the SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, the data you send to us cannot be read by third parties. You can recognise that your connection is encrypted when the address line of the browser switches from "http://" to "https://" and the lock symbol appears in your browser line.

We maintain publicly accessible profiles in the social networks Facebook, YouTube, Instagram and LinkedIn.

You can access each profile via the links in the footer of the landing page. You can recognise each link by the corresponding logos of Facebook, YouTube, Instagram and LinkedIn. By clicking the logo, you are routed (if you are already logged in to the respective platform) to our company profile on the corresponding network. By clicking on the logo, you declare your consent to collection of your personal data by the network operator. Each network operator is responsible for the subsequent data collection and processing by the network operator, including the use of cookies and similar technologies. Further details on the network operators and the way they process data are available in our corresponding privacy statement which is linked to the respective social media profile.

We have also embedded videos from our YouTube Channel on the website by means of social embeds. With regard to these data on the platform of YouTube LLC (901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA), the controller under data protection law is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House Barrow Street Dublin 4, D04E5W5, Ireland.

Given the respective prerequisites are fulfilled, you have the following rights vis-à-vis FLW regarding your personal data:

6.1 Information

You have the right to request a confirmation of how we process your personal data. Within the legal provisions, you as the data subject have the right at any time to receive information free of charge about the personal data stored about you, their origin and recipients, and the purposes of data processing, as well as further information, e.g. the planned duration of storage. As the data subject, you have the right to receive the personal data related to you in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.

6.2 Rectification and completion

As the data subject, you have the right to request the immediate correction of incorrect personal data. Taking into account the purposes for processing, you have the right to request completion of incomplete personal data.

6.3 Erasure

As the data subject, you may have the right to have your personal data erased. This is the case, for example, if your personal data are no longer needed for the original purposes, you have revoked your consent under data protection law, or if the personal data were processed unlawfully.

As the data subject, you have the right to restriction of processing in the legally defined cases.

6.5 Right to object (to data processing)

6.6 Revocation (of your consent under data protection law)

Some data processing activities are only permitted with your explicit consent. You can revoke given consent any time with effect for the future. To do so, an informal e-mail message to us is sufficient. This does not affect the legitimacy of processing carried out prior to your revocation.

6.7 Complaint to a data protection authority

You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of your residence, your workplace, or the place of the suspected violation, if you believe that the processing of your personal data violates the GDPR.
