Privacy Policy

Terms of Submission and Assignment

We are delighted that you have shown interest in the services of FAFO TV, provided via www.fafo-tv.com (the “Website”). Data protection is a particularly high priority for the management of FAFO TV. The use of the FAFO TV website is possible without providing personal data; however, if a data subject wants to use special services via our website, the processing of personal data may become necessary. If processing personal data is necessary and there is no statutory basis for such processing, we generally obtain consent from the data subject.

​

The processing of personal data, such as name, address, email address, or telephone number, shall always be in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to FAFO TV.

Furthermore, data subjects are informed of their rights under this privacy policy.

As the controller, FAFO TV has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the complete protection of personal data processed through this website. However, internet-based data transmissions may have security gaps, so absolute protection may not be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transfer personal data to us via alternative means, such as by telephone.

FAFO TV processes and stores personal data only as long as it is necessary for fulfilling the purpose for which the data was collected, or as long as the storage is mandated by applicable legal requirements.

​

This right also extends to direct marketing and profiling activities. Once an objection is raised, FAFO TV will no longer process the data unless there are compelling legitimate grounds or legal claims involved.

- **Right to Automated Decision-Making and Profiling**: Users have the right not to be subjected to decisions based solely on automated processing, including profiling, unless such processing is necessary for the performance of a contract, is authorized by law, or is based on explicit user consent.

If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact our Data Protection Officer or another FAFO TV representative for assistance.

10. Data Protection Provisions about the Application and Use of Google AdSense

On this website, the controller has integrated Google AdSense. Google AdSense is an online service that allows the placement of advertisements on third-party sites. It uses an algorithm to display advertisements that match the content of the respective third-party site, enabling interest-based targeting of internet users by generating individual user profiles.

​

The operating company of Google AdSense is Alphabet Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, United States.

​

The purpose of integrating Google AdSense is to display advertisements on our website. Google AdSense places a cookie on your device to analyze the use of our website. Each time you visit a page on our site that contains a Google AdSense component, your browser automatically transmits data to Alphabet Inc. for the purpose of online advertising and commission settlements. During this process, Alphabet Inc. may collect personal data such as your IP address, which helps them understand the origin of visitors and clicks.

​

You can prevent the setting of cookies by adjusting your browser settings accordingly. This will permanently deny the setting of cookies, but please note that some features of our website may not function properly without them. Additionally, cookies already in use by Alphabet Inc. can be deleted at any time via your browser or other software programs.

Google AdSense also uses tracking pixels, which are miniature graphics embedded in web pages to allow log file recording and analysis. This helps Alphabet Inc. analyze visitor traffic and determine when and which links were clicked.

Through Google AdSense, personal data—including your IP address—is transmitted to Alphabet Inc. in the United States and may be shared with third parties. For more information about Google AdSense, please visit [https://www.google.com/adsense/start/](https://www.google.com/adsense/start/).

11. Data Protection Provisions about the Application and Use of Google Analytics (with Anonymization Function)

On this website, the controller has integrated Google Analytics with the anonymization function. Google Analytics is a web analytics service that collects, gathers, and analyzes data about the behavior of visitors to websites. This helps in optimizing our website and conducting cost-benefit analyses of internet advertising.

The operator of Google Analytics is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, United States.

For web analytics via Google Analytics, we use the application "\_gat.\_anonymizeIp," which anonymizes your IP address if you are accessing our website from a member state of the European Union or another contracting state to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

​

The purpose of using Google Analytics is to analyze traffic on our website. Google uses the collected data to evaluate your use of our website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services related to website usage.

​

Google Analytics places a cookie on your device to analyze how you use our website. With each visit to a page on our site that includes a Google Analytics component, your browser transmits data for online advertising and commission settlements to Google. During this process, Google may collect personal information such as your IP address.

You can prevent the setting of cookies by adjusting your browser settings. Additionally, you can prevent data collection by Google Analytics by downloading and installing a browser add-on available at [https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout](https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout). This add-on communicates with Google Analytics via JavaScript to indicate that data about website visits should not be transmitted.

13. Payment Method: Data protection provisions about the use of PayPal as a payment processor

On this website, the controller has integrated components of PayPal. PayPal is an online payment service provider. Payments are processed via so-called PayPal accounts, which represent virtual private or business accounts. PayPal is also able to process virtual payments through credit cards when a user does not have a PayPal account. A PayPal account is managed via an e-mail address, which is why there are no classic account numbers. PayPal makes it possible to trigger online payments to third parties or to receive payments. PayPal also accepts trustee functions and offers buyer protection services.

The European operating company of PayPal is PayPal (Europe) S.à.r.l. & Cie. S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, 2449 Luxembourg, Luxembourg.

If the data subject chooses “PayPal” as the payment option in the online shop during the ordering process, we automatically transmit the data of the data subject to PayPal. By selecting this payment option, the data subject agrees to the transfer of personal data required for payment processing.

The personal data transmitted to PayPal is usually first name, last name, address, email address, IP address, telephone number, mobile phone number, or other data necessary for payment processing. The processing of the purchase contract also requires such personal data, which are in connection with the respective order.

The transmission of the data is aimed at payment processing and fraud prevention. The controller will transfer personal data to PayPal, in particular, if a legitimate interest in the transmission is given. The personal data exchanged between PayPal and the controller for the processing of the data will be transmitted by PayPal to economic credit agencies. This transmission is intended for identity and creditworthiness checks.

PayPal will, if necessary, pass on personal data to affiliates and service providers or subcontractors to the extent that this is necessary to fulfil contractual obligations or for data to be processed in the order.

The data subject has the possibility to revoke consent for the handling of personal data at any time from PayPal. A revocation shall not have any effect on personal data which must be processed, used or transmitted in accordance with (contractual) payment processing.

The applicable data protection provisions of PayPal may be retrieved under https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full.

​

14. Legal basis for the processing

Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, as is the case, for example, when processing operations are necessary for the supply of goods or to provide any other service, the processing is based on Article 6(1) lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations which are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries concerning our services. Is our company subject to a legal obligation by which processing of personal data is required, such as for the fulfilment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6(1) lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6(1) lit. d GDPR. Finally, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not covered by any of the abovementioned legal grounds, if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data. Such processing operations are particularly permissible because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. He considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a client of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).

​

15. The legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party

Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR our legitimate interest is to carry out our business in favor of the well-being of all our employees and the shareholders.

​

16. Period for which the personal data will be stored

The criteria used to determine the period of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiration of that period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, as long as it is no longer necessary for the fulfilment of the contract or the initiation of a contract.

​

17. Provision of personal data as statutory or contractual requirement; Requirement necessary to enter into a contract; Obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of failure to provide such data

We clarify that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or can also result from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner). Sometimes it may be necessary to conclude a contract that the data subject provides us with personal data, which must subsequently be processed by us. The data subject is, for example, obliged to provide us with personal data when our company signs a contract with him or her. The non-provision of the personal data would have the consequence that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject must contact our Data Protection Officer. Our Data Protection Officer clarifies to the data subject whether the provision of the personal data is required by law, contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and the consequences of non-provision of the personal data

​

18. **Existence of automated decision-making**

As a responsible company, FAFO TV does not use automatic decision-making or profiling in its data processing activities, unless explicitly agreed upon or required for the provision of services. Automated decision-making may include activities such as automated evaluations, recommendations, or predictions regarding user behavior or preferences based on historical data. If any automated decision-making processes were to be implemented, they would only be done so after obtaining explicit consent from the data subject and in compliance with applicable legal standards.

​

19. **Rights of the data subject**

Each data subject has the following rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):

​

- **Right to confirmation**: Every data subject has the right to obtain confirmation from FAFO TV as to whether personal data concerning him or her is being processed.

- **Right of access**: The data subject has the right to access information regarding the personal data held about them, including details of how and why it is being processed.

- **Right to rectification**: If the data subject’s personal data is inaccurate or incomplete, they have the right to request corrections or updates.

​

- **Right to erasure (Right to be forgotten)**: Under certain conditions, the data subject has the right to request the deletion of their personal data, especially if the data is no longer necessary for the purposes it was collected for or if consent is withdrawn.

- **Right to restriction of processing**: The data subject has the right to request the restriction of the processing of their personal data under certain conditions, such as when the accuracy of the data is contested.

- **Right to data portability**: The data subject has the right to receive their personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and to have this data transmitted to another controller, where technically feasible.

- **Right to object**: The data subject has the right to object to the processing of their personal data, especially in cases where the processing is based on legitimate interests. This includes the right to object to processing for direct marketing purposes.

- **Right to withdraw consent**: If the processing of personal data is based on the data subject’s consent, they have the right to withdraw their consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of the processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

- **Right to lodge a complaint**: The data subject has the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if they believe that the processing of their personal data violates GDPR.

20. **Changes to this Privacy Policy**

FAFO TV reserves the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time. Changes to this policy will be posted on our website [www.fafo-tv.com](http://www.fafo-tv.com), and we encourage users to regularly review this policy to stay informed about how we are protecting the personal data we collect. If any significant changes are made, we will notify users either through the website or via email at **fckaroundNfindout@gmail.com**, as appropriate.
