1. Data collection and processing
Personal data is information regarding your identity. This includes data such as your name, address, phone number and e-mail address.
In general, you can visit our website without sharing any personal data. This is the case when you only wish to obtain information about our company or products and access the corresponding pages. We would, however, like to point out that we log the IP addresses of computers used to access pages and contents of our website. This is a technical necessity and cannot be implemented in any other way.
In certain cases we require your name and address as well as other information in order to provide you with the requested services. This additional personal data is only collected and stored if you provide this information voluntarily, e.g. as part of an enquiry, a registration, an application for a job or as a potential supplier.
You can object to the use of your data at any time. In order to do so, simply send us an e-mail to info(at)ftapi.de.
2. Purpose, use and disclosure of personal data
Any personal data you provide us with will only be used within the scope of legal requirements to answer your enquiries, provide the services you use on our website, generate analyses to optimise our online offers and use information and communication systems.
We will collect, process and use the personal data provided by you online exclusively for the purposes disclosed to you. We will only pass on your personal data or otherwise transfer it to third parties if this is necessary for the purpose of carrying out the activities referred to in item 2, paragraph 1, or if you have given your prior consent. Such third parties may not use the data for any other purposes.
We will only disclose personal data if we are required to do so by law or on the basis of a court decision, or if disclosure is necessary to enforce or protect our General Terms and Conditions or other agreements. This also applies to the storage of personal data. We do not disclose personal data for economic purposes.
Our employees and the companies commissioned by us are obliged to maintain confidentiality and comply with the provisions of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG). Employee access to personal data is limited to those employees who need it to carry out their professional tasks.
3. Deletion
Stored personal data is deleted in accordance with statutory regulations, e.g. if you revoke your consent to storage, if storage is no longer required for the purpose pursued or if storage is no longer permissible for other statutory reasons, unless legal retention regulations do not permit deletion. In such a case, the data will be blocked instead of deleted.
4. Information
Upon written request you can receive information on your personal data stored with us. We endeavour to store your personal data so it is not accessible to third parties by making full use of all technical and organisational measures. When communicating by e-mail, we cannot guarantee absolute data security. For this reason we recommend sending confidential information using the postal service or transferring it using our highly secure products.

10. Google AdWords conversion tracking
This website uses Google conversion tracking. Google AdWords places a cookie on your computer if you have accessed our website via a Google ad. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of the AdWords customer’s website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and the customer can see that the user clicked on the ad and has been redirected to this page. Every AdWords customer is given a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be traced via the websites of other AdWords customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie serves to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have chosen to use conversion tracking. AdWords customers are provided with information on the total number of users that clicked their ad and were transferred to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they are not provided any information to allow them to personally identify users. If you do not wish to take part in the tracking process, you can also object to the storage of cookies, which are required for conversion tracking – e.g. by changing your browser settings to generally deactivate automatic cookie storage. You can also deactivate cookies for conversion tracking by changing your browser settings so that cookies from the ‘www.googleadservices.com’ domain are blocked.

Among other things, Reddit receives the information from your browser that our page has been accessed from your device.
