FMC Virtual Balie

The human being is at the center of our business activities. Our employees, our customers and the customers of our customers are important to us. In extension with this, we take care of the personal data which is processed.

Data protection plays a significant role in the fulfillment of our business activities. The safeguarding of personal rights and the compliance with legal regulations on data protection are integral parts.

Knowledge of the requirements of data protection and compliance with the statutory provisions is increasingly a competitive advantage and sets us apart from competitors in the market.

Personal data are processed only when the legitimacy of the processing is ensured. The principles of data processing of personal data, such as data minimization and transparency, are essential corporate goals. The required technical and organizational measures for protecting data are based on the European GDPR.

Privacy laws and the interests of our data subjects require ensuring the confidentiality of personal data. IT systems (including our Websites or Services, human resource system, CRM system) undergo therefore a high level of confidentiality protection.

All employees and the management are aware of their responsibilities when dealing with personal data and support the data protection policy and strategy to the best of their ability and in good conscience.

What does this Privacy notice cover?

This Privacy notice covers our treatment of personally identifiable information (“Personal Information”) that we gather when you are accessing or using our Website or Services. We use this Personal Information internally in connection with our Website and Services to:

• Personalize (e.g. understanding your needs and preferences), provide, maintain and improve our Website or Services,
• Allow you to set up a user account and profile,
• Contact you about your use of the Website or Services,
• Fulfill your requests for or respond to your inquiries regarding certain products, services, events or employment consideration,
• Meet legal and regulatory requirements,
• Send you our newsletter or other information on products and services, but only if you sign up for it,
• Analyze how you use the Website or Services, and
• Other purposes where you provide us with explicit consent.

By voluntarily submitting your Personal Information, you consent to the collection and use of your Personal Information as described in this Privacy notice.

When you submit Personal Information to a Website of one of the FMC Virtual Balie companies, this information will not be disclosed to another FMC Virtual Balie company unless there is a legitimate interest, or you provide us consent to do so.

In some circumstances, FMC Virtual Balie may share this Personal Information with third party business partners. We will only use such business partners in order to deliver services to us or on our behalf, and they are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose.

Although very unlikely, in some instances, such as a legal proceeding or court order, FMC Virtual Balie may be required to disclose certain information to authorities. FMC Virtual Balie shall verify that the authorities who are making the request have legitimate grounds to do so and will only disclose the information specifically requested.

What Personal Information is collected?

We receive and store any information you provide to us. The Personal Information that we would collect from you if you so choose would typically include your name and title, email address, mailing address, telephone and fax numbers, and information about your company.

When a user visits our Websites and clicks on the pages, we collect aggregated data about the path of the user’s visit through the Website. Click streaming is a technology that allows a website operator to track the paths that visitors take as they access a website and look at the site’s pages. FMC Virtual Balie collects such information from visitors to FMC Virtual Balie’s Websites.

We do not intend to collect sensitive information (for example, data relating to race or ethnic origin, religious beliefs, criminal record, physical or mental health or sexual orientation) from our Website visitors. We will, where necessary, obtain your explicit consent to collect and use such information.

Personal Information collected on our Websites may be stored and processed within the European Economic Area or a location on which the European Commission has decided to have an adequate level of data protection.

Data retention

FMC Virtual Balie limits the use of Personal Information to the purposes identified in this Notice and for which you provided implicit or explicit consent. In accordance with established policies and procedures, we retain Personal Information for only as long as necessary to fulfill the stated purposes, except with the consent of the individual or as required by law.

Protection of Personal Information

We have established commercially reasonable and appropriate security practices protecting Personal Information we hold in our records from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction, taking into account the risks involved in processing and the nature of the Personal Information. Unauthorized entry or use, hardware or software failure, and other factors, may compromise the security of user information at any time. Notwithstanding that security safeguards are in place to protect Personal Information, we also encourage you to take security measures to protect against unintended intrusions to your personal privacy (i.e., maintain access pass codes and/or PIN's in a confidential manner).

Unfortunately, data transmission over the Internet cannot be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect Personal Information that is transmitted to us by you, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of such information. Thus, any Personal Information transmitted to us is done so at your own risk.
