Privacy Notice


We are very pleased that you are interested in our website and our services. The protection of personal data is particularly important to us. We would like to inform you about the collection and processing of personal data associated with the use of our website and about the rights of data subjects in this context.

FoodBusiness.Digital GmbH (FB.D) has as for Processing data controller implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible for the personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed.

I. Name and address of the controller

Responsible for the use of our website https://foodbusiness.digital, its subpages and the linked websites and social media appearances within the meaning of the GDPR and other data protection laws applicable to us is:

FoodBusiness.Digital GmbH

II. Collection and storage of personal data in connection with visiting our website, type and purpose of use

1. Security

If personal data is transmitted to us via our website, we use numerous secure technologies, in particular the so-called "Transport Layer Security" transmission (TSL) or the "Secure Socket Layer" transmission (SSL). All information and data transmitted using these secure methods are encrypted before being sent to us. In order to protect users and us from misuse, the IP address of the system used for the call is transmitted to us.

2. Collection of general data and information

Each time our website is accessed, our website collects a range of general data and information. This general data and information is stored in the log files of the server. Can be captured

a. browser types and versions used,
b. the operating system used by the accessing system
c. the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrer),
d. the sub-websites that are accessed via an accessing system on our website,
e. the date and time of access to the website,
f. the Internet protocol address (IP address) of the calling system,
g. the Internet service provider of the accessing system,
h. other similar data and information that serves to avert risks in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using this general data and information, we do not draw any conclusions about the person concerned. Rather, this information is needed to (a) deliver the content of our website correctly, (b) optimize the content of our website and the advertising for it, (c) to ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and ( d) to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for law enforcement in the event of a cyber attack. This anonymously collected data and information is therefore statistically evaluated on the one hand and also with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

3. Cookies

Our website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored and stored on a computer system via an internet browser. Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string of characters through which websites and servers can be assigned to the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the visited websites and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific internet browser can be recognized and identified using the unique cookie ID.

By using cookies, FB.D can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting. A cookie can be used to optimize the information and offers on our website for the user. As already mentioned, cookies enable us to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. The user of a website that uses cookies, for example, does not have to enter his access data every time he visits the website, because this is taken over by the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in the online shop. The online shop remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.

The person concerned can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time using an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common internet browsers. If the person concerned deactivates the setting of cookies in the internet browser used, under certain circumstances not all functions of our website can be used to their full extent.

4. Webhosting

In order to maintain our online presence, we use an Internet service provider on whose server the website is saved (hosting) and who makes our website available on the Internet. The Internet service provider processes contact data, content data, contract data, usage data, inventory data as well as meta and communication data on our behalf.

5. Subscription to a newsletter

If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we need an e-mail address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the e-mail address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter . No further data is collected, or only on a voluntary basis. We only use this data to send the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.

Dispatch by MailChimp
This website uses the services of MailChimp for the dispatch of newsletters. The provider is Rocket Science Group LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA.

MailChimp is a service with which the dispatch of newsletters can be organized and analyzed. If you enter data for the purpose of receiving the newsletter (e.g. email address), it will be stored on MailChimp's servers in the USA.

MailChimp is certified according to the “EU-US Privacy Shield”. The “Privacy Shield” is an agreement between the European Union (EU) and the USA, which is intended to ensure compliance with European data protection standards in the USA.

With the help of MailChimp we can analyze our newsletter campaigns. If you open an email sent with MailChimp, a file contained in the email (so-called web beacon) connects to the servers of MailChimp in the USA. In this way it can be determined whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links have been clicked on. In addition, technical information is recorded (e.g. time of access, IP address, browser type and operating system). This information cannot be assigned to the respective newsletter recipient. They are used only for statistical analysis of newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyzes can be used to better adapt future newsletters to the interests of the recipients. If you do not want an analysis by MailChimp, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. For this purpose, we provide a corresponding link in every newsletter message. You can also unsubscribe from the newsletter directly on the website.

Data processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. The legality of the data processing already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data you have stored with us for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and deleted after you unsubscribe from the newsletter, both from our servers and from the servers of MailChimp. Data that we have stored for other purposes (e.g. e-mail addresses for the member area) remain unaffected. For more information, see MailChimp's privacy policy at: https://mailchimp.com/legal/terms/ .

Conclusion of a data processing agreement
We have concluded a so-called "data processing agreement" with MailChimp, in which we oblige MailChimp to protect our customers' data and not to third parties pass on. This contract can be viewed at the following link: https://mailchimp.com/legal/forms/data-processing-agreement/sample-agreement/.

Evaluation of user behavior
If you have given your consent, we will evaluate your user behavior when sending the newsletter. For this purpose, tracking pixels and tracking links are included in our newsletter. This enables us to recognize whether and when you opened the newsletter and whether and which links you clicked on in the newsletter.
Purpose: We evaluate the newsletter as described above in order to be able to measure a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of our newsletter.
Legal basis: The legal basis for the processing of your data is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Prevention: You can revoke your consent to receive the newsletter at any time using the options given above. Deletion: We will delete your data after cancellation.
