Privacy Policy
This is an English translation provided for convenience. The legally binding version is the German Datenschutzerklärung.
1. Controller
The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:
Foth Group GmbH
Seehofstraße 137, 14167 Berlin, Germany
Phone: +49 30 89000652
Email: kontakt@fothgroup.de
2. What data we process
This website is a purely informational site. We process only the data required for secure operation:
- Server access logs: IP address, date, time, requested resource, referrer, user agent — stored for 14 days to defend against attacks (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).
- Contact by email: If you write to us at the email address provided, we process your message and your contact details to respond to your request (Art. 6 (1) (b) and (f) GDPR).
- Contact form: If you submit the form, we process your entries (project description, name, the contact details you provide) to handle and respond to your enquiry (Art. 6 (1) (b) and (f) GDPR). Project, name and contact are mandatory fields — without them we cannot process your enquiry.
We use no tracking cookies, no analytics tools and no advertising pixels.
3. Processors and third-country transfers
3.1 Hetzner Online GmbH (hosting)
This website is hosted by Hetzner Online GmbH, Industriestraße 25, 91710 Gunzenhausen, Germany. Servers and logs are located exclusively in Germany. A data processing agreement pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR is in place with Hetzner.
3.2 Fonts (self-hosted)
The fonts used (“Archivo” and “Space Mono”) are served exclusively from our own server in Germany. There is no connection to Google Fonts or other external font services; your IP address is not transmitted to any third party for this purpose.
3.3 Contact form & email delivery
When you submit the contact form, your entries are transmitted to our own backend (operated by Foth Group GmbH at letsgoo.io, hosted by Hetzner in Germany) and used there solely to process your enquiry. To deliver the notification email we use the service provider Resend (Resend, Inc., USA) as a processor; the transfer to the USA is based on appropriate safeguards (EU Standard Contractual Clauses). Your data is not passed on for advertising purposes.
3.4 No further external services
Beyond this, the website does not embed any external CDNs, image services, maps, fonts or social media plugins that would transfer data to third parties on mere page load. Images and videos are served exclusively from our own server.
4. Retention period
- Server logs: 14 days
- Email correspondence: until your enquiry has been conclusively dealt with, at the latest after 3 years — unless statutory retention obligations apply (§ 257 HGB / § 147 AO: 6 or 10 years).
5. Your rights
You have the right at any time to access (Art. 15 GDPR), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction of processing (Art. 18), data portability (Art. 20) and objection (Art. 21). Please direct requests to: kontakt@fothgroup.de
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority — the authority responsible for us is the Berlin Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (Berliner Beauftragte für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit), Friedrichstr. 219, 10969 Berlin.
6. Cookies
This website sets no cookies. No tracking takes place. Consent pursuant to § 25 TDDDG is therefore not required.
7. Changes to this privacy policy
We reserve the right to amend this privacy policy in order to adapt it to changed legal situations. The current version is always available at this URL.
