§ 3 Principles of data processing
Personal data is defined as all information which relates 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 your usage behaviour. Information that does not allow us (or only allow with a disproportionate amount of effort) to connect the data to you as a person - e.g. through anonymising the information - is not counted as personal data. The processing of personal data (e.g. collecting, accessing, using, saving or relaying personal data) must always have a basis in law, or your consent must have been obtained. Processed personal data is erased as soon as the purpose of the processing has been fulfilled and there are no statutory record-keeping obligations to be met.
You will find below information on the specific processes, scope and purpose of data processing, the legal basis for the processing and the length of time for which data will be stored for those cases where we process your personal data in order to be able to provide you with certain services.
§ 4 Individual processes involving data processing
1. Provision and usage of the website
a. Type and scope of data processing
When you access and use our website, we capture the data that your browser automatically transmits to our server. This data is temporarily stored in a so-called log file.

c. Data storage duration
The log files created in conjunction with the usage of our website will be held for a period of 14 days and subsequently erased. The capture of the data and its storage in log files is required for the operation of the internet pages and for ensuring the stability and quality of this service. Greater and/or longer storage of data may apply in individual cases, if this is stipulated in law.

You provide the following information as part of the registration process:

b. Legal basis
The basis for the processing of the personal data set out in the form is the declaration of consent shown below made by you of your own free will, as provided for in Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR:

You can withdraw your consent to the use of your personal data at any time by emailing the address given in section 1 above or by emailing the data protection officer (cf. section 2 above), which will affect future transactions.
c. Data storage duration
The period of time for which the abovementioned data will be stored is dependent on the reason for your having made contact. Your data will be routinely erased once the reason behind the communications has lapsed and storage is no longer necessary (e.g. after the materials requested have been sent to you).
3. Contact options on our website
You have the following different email contact options available to you through our website:
- General and Industrial lubricants contact: info.es@fuchs.com

The data we collect is limited to the email address of the email account used by you to make contact with us, along with any personal data you provide us with in the context of your enquiry/message.
b. Legal basis
Data collection is permitted based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, as there is a parallel interest between you and our company in making contact and communicating, as well as a justified interest on the part of our company in processing the abovementioned data in order to be able to respond to your enquiry/message.
c. Data storage duration
The period of time for which the abovementioned data will be stored is dependent on the reason for your having made contact.

4. Easypromos’ questionnaire
a. Type and scope of data processing
On our website, you have the option of checking whether you need an LCCP audit or not. To do this, you have to answer yes or no questions in our questionnaire and send us the answers. We will check and evaluate your information and, after that, let you know the result.
We process your first name and your e-mail address in order to be able to communicate the result to you. We also use your e-mail address for marketing purposes after communicating the result, for example to inform you about products and offers.
We have created our questionnaire using Easypromos, a tool from the provider “EASYPROMOS S.L.”, Calle Bonastruc de Porta 20, 17001 Girona, Spain, and integrated it into our website. Easypromos also has access to the personal data required to carry out the review and evaluation of the questionnaire.
You can find more information about data processing by Easypromos at: https://www.easypromosapp.com/privacy-policy/.
b. Legal basis
The collection and processing of your personal data is based on your freely given consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.
c. Data storage duration
We will store your data until you withdraw your consent. You can do this at any time and with effect for the future. The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
Due to the withdrawal of consent, the legal basis for future data processing no longer applies, so we will delete your data immediately, provided that there are no legal retention periods to the contrary.

- You have given your express permission for us to do so, in accordance with Art. 6 (1) sent. 1 lit. a GDPR
- In accordance with Art. 6 (1) sent. 1 lit. c GDPR there is a legal obligation to do so

§ 6 Usage of cookies
For detailed information on the use of cookies on our website, see our Cookie Policy
§ 7 Plug-ins
1. Facebook and LinkedIn
Our websites contain social plug-ins for the “Facebook” (Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, California 94304, USA) and “LinkedIn” (LinkedIn Headquarters 2029 Stierlin Ct. Ste. 200 Mountain View, CA 94043) social networks. It is possible that personal data on website visitors may be collected through these plug-ins and relayed and linked to the service in question.
Neither FUCHS PETROLUB SE nor FUCHS LUBRICANTES, S.A.U. itself does not collect any personal data through the social plug-ins or the usage thereof. In order to prevent data being relayed to the service provider in the US without the user’s knowledge, we have deployed the so-called Shariff solution on our website. This causes the social plug-ins to be linked in purely as a graphic on the website. The graphics contain a link to the website of the relevant plug-in provider. You are only forwarded on to the provider’s service if you click on one of the graphics. This solution
ensures that personal data is not automatically relayed to the providers of the relevant social plug-in when you visit our website. If you click on one of the social plug-in graphics, data may be relayed to, and stored by, the providers in question. If you do not click on one of the graphics there will be no data transmitted between you and the provider of the relevant social plug-in. You can find out further information on the Shariff solution on this website: https://www.heise.de/ct/artikel/Shariff-Social-Media-Buttons-mit-Datenschutz-2467514.html
Once you have clicked on a social plug-in, the provider in question will receive the information that you have visited the relevant page on our website. Please be aware that you do not have to have a user account for the service in question nor do you already need to be logged in for this to happen. But should you have a user account with the service provider in question and already be logged in when visiting our website, the data collected by the social plug-in will be directly linked to your account. If you do not want to have the data linked to your profile with the service provider you must log out of your user account before clicking on a social plug-in.
Please be aware that neither FUCHS PETROLUB SE nor FUCHS LUBRICANTES, S.A.U. have no influence on whether, and to what extent, the service providers in question collect personal data. We do not know the scope, purpose or storage duration of the data collected. We would, however, point out that it must be assumed that, at the very least, the IP address and device-related information will be collected and used by the social plug-ins. It is also possible that the service providers in question deploy cookies.
Please read the data protection notifications directly on the websites of the services in question to establish the scope and purpose of each service’s data collection activities as well as how your data is further processed and used. You will also find information on your relevant data protection rights and on settings options to protect your privacy there.

https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy
For a data transfer to the USA there may not be any suitable guarantees at present. There are restrictions on the protection of personal data resulting from the fact that, under US law, security authorities can access data transferred from the EU to the USA and use it without restriction to the extent absolutely necessary. As the person concerned, you may not be able to take legal action against such use even if you are not a citizen of the USA.
2. XING
A button for the “XING” network is used on our website. When you click on this button a connection is quickly established through your browser to the servers of XING AG (hereinafter: XING), which provide the “XING button” functions. XING does not store any of your personal data as a result of you accessing this website. In particular, XING does not store any IP addresses. There is also no analysis made of your user behaviour through the deployment of cookies in conjunction with the “XING share button”. You can view the current data protection information concerning the “XING share button” as well as supplementary information on this web page:
https://www.xing.com/app/share?op=data_protection and www.xing.com/privacy
3. YouTube
We use a plug-in from the provider YouTube, Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“YouTube”) on our website. If you are redirected to the FUCHS Group YouTube page by clicking on the YouTube symbol, a connection to the YouTube servers is established and the plug-in is displayed. This transmits to the YouTube server which of our Internet pages you have visited. If you are logged in to YouTube as a member, YouTube assigns this information to your personal user account. If you do not wish to be assigned to your profile with the service provider, you must log out of your user account and other user accounts of YouTube LLC and Google Inc. and delete the corresponding cookies of the companies before clicking on one of the social plugins.
Further information on data processing and notes on data protection by YouTube (Google) can be found at https://policies.google.com/privacy
§ 8 Hyperlinks
On our website there are so-called hyperlinks to the websites of other providers. If you activate these hyperlinks you will be taken from our website directly to the website of the other providers. This can be seen from the change in URL, amongst other factors. FUCHS LUBRICANTES, S.A.U has no influence on the content or design of these other providers’ web pages. Understandably, therefore, the assurances made in this data protection declaration do not apply to the providers’ web pages. Please inform yourself of the treatment of your personal data by these organisations by visiting their websites direct.
§9 Rights of data subjects
The GDPR has provided for you, as a data subject, to have the following rights in respect of the processing of personal data:
- Art. 15 GDPR provides for you to demand information on the personal data we process in relation to you. In particular, you can demand information on the purposes for which we process data relating to you; the categories of personal data; the categories of recipients to whom your data has been or will be presented; the scheduled duration of data storage; the existence of a right to rectification, erasure, restriction of the processing or to object to processing; the existence of a right to complain; the source of the data on you if it has not been collected by us; whether the data is to be transferred to a third country or international organisations; and whether data is selected on the basis of an automated decision-making process or profiling, with meaningful information on the details of this process, where applicable.
- Art. 16 GDPR provides for you to demand the immediate rectification or supplementing of your personal data held by us.
- Art. 17 GDPR provides for you to demand the erasure of your personal data held by us, provided the processing thereof is not required to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information, to meet a legal obligation, for public interest reasons or to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
- Art. 18 GDPR provides for you to demand the restriction of processing of your personal data where you dispute the accuracy of the data; the processing is unlawful; or we no longer require the data but you oppose its erasure because you need it to assert, exercise or defend legal claims. You are also entitled to the right provided for in Art. 18 GDPR if you object to the processing in accordance with Art. 21 GDPR.
- Art. 20 GDPR provides for you to demand to receive, in a structured, current and machine-readable format, the personal data you have provided to us; or you can demand that it is relayed to another controller.
- Art. 7 (3) GDPR provides for you to withdraw the consent you gave us at any time. The consequence of this is that we may in future no longer continue with the data processing dependent on this consent.

§ 10 The right to object
Where your personal data is processed on the basis of legitimate interests, Art. 6 (1) sent. 1 lit. f GDPR provides for you, in accordance with Art. 21 GDPR, to object to the processing of your personal data, where there are grounds for so doing based on your own particular situation, or your objection is to direct marketing. In the case of direct marketing you have a general right to object, which we must implement without the need for stating the existence of a particular situation.
§11 Data security and backup measures
We undertake to protect your privacy and to treat your personal data with the utmost confidentiality. In order to avoid the manipulation, loss or misuse of the personal data we have stored that relates to you, we have adopted extensive technical and organisational security measures which are routinely checked and updated in line with improvements in technology. These include the use of recognised encryption methods (SSL or TLS). We must, however, point out that, due to the structure of the internet, it is possible that the data protection rules and abovementioned security measures may not be observed by other persons or institutions who/which do not come under our scope of responsibility. In particular, unencrypted data - e.g. if sent in an email - could be read by third parties. We have no technical influence on this. It is the user’s responsibility to protect the data provided to him/her against misuse, through encryption or some other method.
If you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact us at one of the addresses listed in section 1.
