We may collect personal data on you for a variety of reasons. For more information on a specific type of data processing, please look to the topic specific privacy notices listed above, such as our Marketing Privacy Notice.
What all personal data processing by FTM has in common is that the data processing is necessary in order for FTM to carry out its rights or obligations related to you. For example, if you are a customer, by collecting your personal data we may aim to provide you with the services you have requested; develop, enhance and personalize your customer experience; maintain and develop our customer relationship with you; and communicate with you more efficiently.
We primarily collect personal data directly from you. You may provide us data for example by contacting us, or providing feedback, registering as a user of our services, applying for a job, subscribing to our newsletters or other material, commenting on or discussing any content on the Website, or downloading or uploading material.
The types of personal data we collect on you typically include information such as:
It is always up to you whether you want to give personal data to us. If you choose not to do so, please note that we might not be able to carry out an action you have requested. We may not be able to, for example, register you as a user, consider your job application, or provide you with our products or services.
When necessary, we may also use cookies and related technologies provided to us by third parties, and create new information by analysing the data we already have on you. For more information about the cookies is provided below in the section “What are cookies and how are they used on this website?”
How we use information on you depends on why the information was originally collected. To give you an idea of how we process personal data, we have included some examples below. For more detailed information, please see our topic specific privacy notices.
In general, we tend to use your personal data especially for the following purposes:
We use third parties, such as service providers, to collect, store and process personal data on our behalf. Such service providers are only allowed to process your personal data to the extent necessary for them to provide the service we have requested from them. As a main rule, they are not allowed to use your personal data for the benefit of their own business.
In order to protect your privacy, we require that all our service providers keep the personal data we provide them confidential and adequately secure. They are also required to abide by data processing agreements and applicable data protection legislation.
Additionally, FTM may disclose and transfer your personal data within the FTM group of companies.
As FTM is a global group of companies with affiliates and service providers both within the European Union and outside of it, your personal data may be transferred outside the European Union. The countries to which your data is transferred may not provide the same level of data protection as your home country. Despite this, when transferring personal data to foreign countries, we will always look after its safety by ensuring that there is a legal basis for the transfer and that applicable laws governing data transfers are followed.
We store personal data only as long as is necessary to fulfil our rights and obligations related to the data. However, as these rights and obligations vary from one processing situation to another, we provide more information on such storage times in the topic specific privacy notices.
Once personal data is no longer necessary, we delete it or anonymize it as soon as possible
