What is it about?
This privacy policy meets the legal requirements for transparency in the processing of personal data. This is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, information such as your name, age, address, telephone number, date of birth, email address, IP address or user behavior when visiting a website.

The processing of personal data (e.g. collection, retrieval, use, storage or transmission) always requires a legal basis and a defined purpose.
Stored personal data will be deleted as soon as the purpose of the processing has been achieved and there are no legitimate grounds for further storage of the data. We will inform you about the specific storage periods or criteria for storage in the individual processing operations. Irrespective of this, we store your personal data in individual cases for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims and if there are statutory retention obligations.
The following data protection notices apply to you if you have concluded a contract or similar with us. They contain information on how your personal data is processed by FIT AG and its affiliated companies in accordance with Section 15ff of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG) (FIT) and what contact options are available for issues relating to data protection.
