Do we pass your information to third parties?

Your personal data will not be disclosed to third parties except for the purposes described below.

We only disclose your personal data to third parties if:

  • this is permitted by law;

We may disclose personal information to third parties when we reasonably believe we are required by law, and in order to investigate, prevent or take action regarding suspected or actual unlawful or otherwise prohibited activities, including, but not limited to, fraud.

How long do we keep your information?

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of the collection of data for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended. When data is stored in log files, this is the case after 2 days at the latest.  In the event of ongoing attacks or other technically necessary measures, temporary longer storage is not excluded. The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Art. 6 (1f) GDPR. Unless a more specific storage period has been specified within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for processing the data no longer applies. If you assert a justified request for deletion or revoke consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, the data will be deleted after these reasons no longer apply.

Cookie Section

We are using cookies on our website. They are stored either temporarily for the duration of a session or permanently on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or until they are automatically deleted by your web browser. In some cases, cookies from third-party companies may also be stored on your device when you enter our site. These enable us or you to use certain services of the third-party company.

Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them. Other cookies (e.g., for statistics or marketing) are used to evaluate user behavior or display advertising.

Technically necessary cookies are stored based on Art. 6 (1f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. We have a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. Insofar as consent to the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively based on this consent (Art. 6 (1a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TTDSG); consent can be revoked at any time.

Insofar as cookies are used by third-party companies or for analysis purposes, we will inform you separately about this within the framework of this data protection declaration and, if necessary, request your consent.

You can configure your browser settings according to your preferences and, for example, refuse to accept third-party cookies or all cookies. We would like to point out that you may not be able to use all functions of this website. In this regard, please inform yourself about the provider of your browser if necessary. If you make the appropriate settings in your browser, this may mean that you cannot make full use of what our website has to offer.

Cookies are used so that our offer can be designed as effectively, smoothly, and user-friendly as possible in the interest of our customers. In the interest of the fastest and easiest possible handling of our homepage and our service offers, we have decided to use cookies. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1f) GDPR.

Google Tag Manager

This website uses the “Google Tag Manager”, a service provided by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheater Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA). Google Tag Manager is a framework that allows us to integrate third party tools in our website without changing the programming of the website itself. By using Google Tag Manager Google learns about your IP address and the fact that you are visiting our website. The legal basis for the processing is your consent (Art. 6 (1a) GDPR) that we will ask for through a banner directly on our website.

Google Analytics

Furthermore, this website uses the “Google Analytics” service provided by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheater Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA) to analyze users’ website usage. The service uses cookies. The information collected by the cookies is usually sent to a Google server in the US and stored there. This tracking measure, data collecting and processing, and transfer to third parties will only be carried out if you have given your consent based on Art. 6 (1a) GDPR. With Google Analytics, we want to ensure a customized design and the continuous optimization of our website. On the other hand, we use this tracking measure to statistically record the use of our website and evaluate it for the purpose of optimizing our offer for you. These interests are to be regarded as legitimate within the meaning of the regulation mentioned above.

In this context, usage profiles are created and cookies are used. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website, such as

  • browser type/version,
  • operating system used,
  • Referrer URL (the previously visited page),
  • IP address of the accessing computer or mobile device ID,
  • time of the server request,
  • time spent on the website and
  • number of page views within our website

are transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

FyoniBio uses the “anonymizeIP” function on its website for Google Analytics. The IP address of users is shortened within the member states of the EU and the European Economic Area. This reduction eliminates the personal reference of your IP address, whereby a clear assignment of the IP address of a user of our website by Google is no longer possible. The information generated by the cookie is used to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage for the purposes of market research and demand-oriented design of these web pages. This information may also be transferred to third parties if this is required by a contract or if third parties process this data on our behalf.

Google Ads / Google Ads Conversion

This website uses the online advertising program “Google Ads” and, within the scope of Google Ads, the conversion tracking of Google Inc (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States). We use Google Ads and Google Ads Conversion to draw attention to our offers on external websites with the help of advertising media. If you access our website via a Google ad, Google Ads will store a cookie on your end device. The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on an ad placed by Google and visits a page with the conversion tracking code. This cookie loses his validity after 180 days and is not used to personally identify the user.

The unique cookie ID, number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), last impression (relevant for post-view conversions) and opt-out information (marking that a user no longer wishes to be addressed) are usually stored as analysis values for this cookie. We only receive statistical evaluations from Google. Based on these evaluations, we can see which of the advertising measures used are particularly effective. Through the integration of Ads Conversion, Google receives the information that you have called up the corresponding part of our website or clicked on one of our ads. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your account. We do not receive any information with which users can be personally identified.

The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website, such as

  • browser type/version,
  • operating system used,
  • Referrer URL (the previously visited page),
  • IP address of the accessing computer or mobile device ID,
  • date and time of visit,
  • viewed ads,
  • Cookie ID,
  • Geographical location,
  • Search terms,
  • advertisements displayed,

are transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

The storage of conversion cookies is based on Art. 6 (1f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in the analysis of user behavior to optimize both our website and advertising. This tracking measure, data collecting and processing, and transfer to third parties will only be carried out if you have given your consent based on Art. 6 (1a) GDPR.

Friendly Captcha

This website uses Friendly Captcha to prevent automatic programs/bots from using text fields. This increases the security of our website and avoids SPAM for the user. The Friendly Captcha widget sends a puzzle request and following log data is collected:

  • The request headers User-Agent, Origin and Referrer.
  • The puzzle itself, which contains information about the account and site key it is related to.
  • The version of the widget.
  • A timestamp.

An anonymized counter per IP address for dynamic puzzle difficulty on the edge network to detect malicious users and minimize blocking legitimate users is stored. This data is stored separately from the rest of the data and cannot be correlated to specific websites. IP addresses are anonymized by using a one-way hash of certain values so they cannot be personally identified.

The end user solution of Friendly Captcha does not use and set cookies.
