We value your privacy

Who we are

Our website address is: https://www.fiwe.com/

Fiwe values the protection of personal data and therefore places great importance on safeguarding your privacy. This privacy policy explains how we, as the data controller, process the personal data of our visitors and customers in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 — the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This policy applies in situations where Fiwe processes personal information collected through our website.

By using our website, you consent to your personal information being processed in accordance with this privacy policy.

What personal data we collect and why

Categories of personal data we collect

The personal information you provide to us consists of data you actively submit by completing various types of forms. When you register for newsletters, product sheets, events or seminars, search for open positions, or submit spontaneous applications, we may ask you to complete forms that include your personal data.

We also collect information about how visitors use the website and engage with its content, such as IP address, browser settings, and how your operating system interacts with the site. This information is processed based on legitimate interest and is used to improve the functionality and content of the website.

Processing of personal data for events

To register for events organized by Fiwe, we process the contact details you provide, such as name, company name, email address, and phone number. Your personal data is processed only to the extent necessary to fulfil the purpose.

Fiwe collects your personal data to administer the event and its participants, and to communicate with you before, during, and after the event. For this purpose, as well as for statistical and billing purposes, Fiwe keeps your personal data for up to one year.

The legal basis for processing your personal data is consent.

Personal data may be shared with our event partners when applicable.

If you have provided information on dietary restrictions or allergies, this data will be deleted after the event.

Photography and filming may occur during our events. If you participate, you may appear in photos or videos, which may be published on Fiwe’s social media channels.

Processing of personal data via contact forms and expressions of interest

When submitting a form or expressing interest on our website, we request certain personal details. We process this data based on legitimate interest to contact you regarding your inquiry. The information processed consists of the data you actively provide through the form.

Access to your personal data is restricted to those who need to process the information as part of their work.

The email address you provide may be used to send information, updates, invitations to Fiwe events, and other relevant communication. You may unsubscribe at any time by following the instructions at the bottom of each email.

Processing of personal data related to recruitment

When contacting Fiwe in connection with recruitment, personal data and relevant information are stored to enable an efficient recruitment process.

We process personal data obtained from public sources or actively provided by you. This data is processed based on legitimate interest and is used only by individuals at Fiwe involved in recruitment.

The length of time personal data is stored depends on how long we consider a candidate relevant for future positions. Stored candidate profiles are reviewed annually to ensure accuracy.

Use of personal data

We use the information you provide when registering, participating in events, receiving newsletters, or using other services.

We will not sell or rent your personal data to third parties unless we have obtained your permission or are required to do so by law.

Occasionally, we may send marketing communication by email that we believe may be of interest to you. If you have opted in, you may withdraw your consent later.

You have the right to prevent us from contacting you for marketing purposes at any time. If you no longer wish to receive marketing emails, please click the unsubscribe link at the bottom of each message.

Cookies

When you visit a website, it may store or retrieve information in your browser, mostly in the form of cookies. This information may relate to you, your preferences, or your device and is primarily used to ensure the website functions as expected. While this information typically does not directly identify you, it may provide you with a more personalized online experience.

Cookies are often used to “remember” you and your preferences — either for a single visit (session cookies) or multiple visits (persistent cookies). They ensure a consistent, efficient user experience and enable important features such as login functionality. Cookies may be set by the site you are visiting (first-party cookies) or by third parties who provide services such as analytics or advertising (third-party cookies).

Fiwe uses cookies to personalize content and ads, provide social media features, and analyze our traffic. We may share information about your usage of our website with our social media partners and solution providers.

How long we retain your personal data

We only store your personal data for as long as necessary. When processing personal data for purposes other than contractual obligations — for example, based on consent for event registration or newsletter subscriptions — we retain personal data only if necessary and/or legally required.

When there is no longer a purpose or legal requirement to retain the data, it is deleted or anonymized.

Personal data collected solely for a specific purpose is kept to a minimum in accordance with the principle of data minimization.

Third-party links

We may publish materials or offer downloads such as product sheets from third parties on our website. These websites have their own, independent privacy policies. We therefore assume no responsibility for the content or activities of these linked sites. However, because we want to protect the integrity of our own site, we welcome feedback about such websites.

Recipients of personal data

We may disclose your personal data to companies within our group (i.e., subsidiaries, our parent company, and its subsidiaries) to the extent necessary and reasonable for the purposes stated in this privacy policy.
