Collection and use of your data
The scope and type of collection and use of your personal data differs depending on whether you visit our website only to retrieve information or whether you make use of any services offered by us.
If we use other (IT) service providers for individual functions of our offer or would like to use your data for advertising purposes, we will inform you in detail below about the respective processes (all data processing). We will also state the specified criteria for the storage period and the applicable legal basis for data processing.

If you contact us by e-mail, post or telephone, your enquiry and the personal data contained therein will be processed by the persons authorised to do so for the purpose of processing your enquiry.
Storage duration:
We process and store the data until the purpose of the processing has been fulfilled and statutory retention obligations (generally 10 years retention period) do not prevent this or you have effectively objected to the processing.
Legal basis(s) for data processing:
Your data will be processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR if your enquiry is related to the fulfilment of a contract or the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR, as we have a legitimate interest in processing enquiries.
Applications
We process the data that you have sent us in connection with your application in order to check your suitability for the position (or any other open positions) and to carry out the application process.
Your application will be reviewed by the HR department upon receipt. Suitable applications are then forwarded to the branch and department managers responsible for the vacant or suitable position. The next steps are then agreed. Throughout the company, only those persons who require your data for the proper conduct of our application process have access to it.
Authorised service providers:
We may commission service providers to support us in carrying out the application process. Your data can therefore only be viewed by the IT service providers commissioned by us if necessary and, of course, only to the extent required
Storage duration:
Applicant data will be deleted after 6 months in the event of rejection.
In the event that you have consented to further storage of your personal data, we will include your data in our applicant pool. There the data will be deleted after 2 years.
If you have been accepted for a position as part of the application process, your data will be transferred to our personnel information system.
Legal basis(s) for data processing:
The processing of your data as part of the application process is permitted for the decision on the establishment of an employment relationship, in accordance with § 26 of the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG n.F.).
Should the data be required for legal prosecution after completion of the application process, data processing may be carried out to safeguard legitimate interests in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our interest then lies in the assertion or defence of claims.
Use of cookies
We use cookies for our websites. Cookies are small text files that are sent from our web server to your browser when you visit our website and are stored on your computer for later retrieval. They are used to make the website more user-friendly and effective overall.
Cookies can basically be divided into two categories:
Transient cookies are automatically deleted when you close the browser. These include session cookies in particular. These store a so-called session ID, with which various requests from your browser can be assigned to the joint session. This allows your computer to be recognised when you return to the website. The session cookies are deleted when you log out or close the browser
Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a specified period, which may vary depending on the cookie. You can delete the cookies at any time in the security settings of your browser
Regardless of your choice in the Consent Manager, you can configure your browser settings according to your wishes and, for example, refuse to accept third-party cookies or all cookies. However, we would like to point out that you may then not be able to use all the functions of this website.
More information on how cookies can be rejected by special browser plug-ins can also be found in the introduction to the chapter Integrated services further down in our privacy policy.
Web analysis
It is important to us to design our websites as optimally as possible and thus make them attractive for our visitors. To do this, we need to know which parts of it are received by our visitors and how. To do this, we use the following technologies in our interest.
Google Analytics
(1) We use Google Analytics 4 on our website. Google Analytics 4 is a tracking tool and is provided by Google LLC. The controller for users in the EU/EEA and Switzerland is Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”).
(2) Google Analytics stores cookies on your computer, which can be used to analyse the use of our website. Data such as the user’s IP address, the website accessed, the website from which the user came to our website, the subpages accessed from the page accessed, the time spent on the website and the frequency with which our website is accessed are stored. The information generated by the cookie is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
In Google Analytics 4, the anonymisation of IP addresses is activated by default. Due to IP anonymisation, your IP address will be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. According to Google, the IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data, so that a reference to your person can no longer be made unless you are logged into your Google account when you visit our website.
The legal basis for the processing integration of Google Analytics on our website is our legitimate interest in improving our relevant content on our websites in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.
Google Analytics 4 will only set a cookie if you have given your active consent via the cookie banner in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR
(4) Further information on the type and scope of data processing by Google:
During your visit to the website, your user behaviour is recorded in the form of “events”. Events can be
Page views
First visit to the website
Start of the session
Your “click path”, interaction with the website
Scrolls (whenever a user scrolls to the end of the page (90%))
Clicks on external links
internal search queries
Interaction with videos
File downloads
Viewed / clicked adverts
Language setting
It is also recorded:
Your approximate location (region)
Your IP address (in abbreviated form)
technical information about your browser and the end devices you use (e.g. language setting, screen resolution)
Your internet provider
the referrer URL (via which website/advertising medium you came to this website)
(5) Purposes of the processing:
On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to analyse your use of the website and to compile reports on website activity. The reports provided by Google Analytics are used to analyse the performance of our website.
(6) Recipients of the data are/may be
- Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (as processor pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR)
Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA
Alphabet Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA
It cannot be ruled out that US authorities will access the data stored by Google.
(7) Third country transfer:
Insofar as data is processed outside the EU/EEA and there is no level of data protection corresponding to the European standard, we have concluded EU standard contractual clauses with the service provider to establish an appropriate level of data protection. The parent company of Google Ireland, Google LLC, is based in California, USA. A transfer of data to the USA and access by US authorities to the data stored by Google cannot be ruled out. The USA is currently considered a third country from a data protection perspective. You do not have the same rights there as within the EU/EEA. You may not be entitled to any legal remedies against access by authorities.
(8) Storage period:
The data sent by us and linked to cookies is automatically deleted after 12 months. Data that has reached the end of its retention period is automatically deleted once a month.
(9) Revocation:
You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by accessing the cookie settings and changing your selection there. This does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until revocation.
You can also prevent the storage of cookies from the outset by configuring your browser software accordingly. However, if you configure your browser to reject all cookies, this may restrict the functionality of this and other websites. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by Google by selecting
a. do not give your consent to the setting of the cookie or
b. download and install the browser add-on to deactivate Google Analytics HERE.
(10) Setting options and other information on the protection of your data can be found at http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy or https://privacy.google.com/businesses/compliance/?hl=de#!?modal_active=none .
(11) You can find more information on the terms of use of Google Analytics and on data protection at Google at https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/terms/de/ and at https://policies.google.com/?hl=de .
Integrated services
We use the following external services in our own interest to design our websites and provide additional functions.
All services can be deactivated by using special plug-ins for your browser or, more specifically, the necessary connection to the corresponding servers can be prevented. Please note, however, that the use of such tools could be associated with a loss of familiar everyday convenience, as many things will no longer function as you would normally expect.
Google Tag Manager
Our website uses Google Tag Manager for the purpose of personalised, interest-based and location-based online advertising. The option to anonymise IP addresses is controlled by Google Tag Manager via an internal setting that is not visible in the source of this page. This internal setting is set in such a way that the anonymisation of IP addresses required by data protection laws is achieved
This service enables us to address visitors to our website with targeted advertising as part of marketing campaigns for our products on the websites of our advertising partners. This form of advertising is anonymous. Apart from the IP address, no other personal data such as e-mail addresses, company names or telephone numbers are stored. The data stored in the cookie is not merged with other personal data to form user profiles.
Service is provided by:
Google Dublin, Google Ireland Ltd, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland

Storage duration:
See Storage duration of the logs under Informational use above in this privacy policy.
Legal basis(s) for data processing:
We use Google Tag Manager on the basis of your consent, in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR
Processing of your personal data in countries outside the EU and the EEA (third countries)
Your personal data will not be processed in countries outside the European Union and the European Economic Area, with the exception of the services declared above.
Your rights
You have the following rights vis-à-vis us with regard to your personal data:
Right to information,
Right to rectification or erasure,
Right to restriction of processing,
Right to data portability.
Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
You also have the right to complain to a data protection supervisory authority about the processing of your personal data by us. The supervisory authority directly responsible for us is: The State Commissioner for Data Protection of Lower Saxony, Prinzenstr. 5, 30159 Hanover, https://lfd.niedersachsen.de/startseite/.
Right of objection and cancellation
If you have given your consent to the processing of your data, you can revoke it at any time. Such a revocation affects the permissibility of the processing of your personal data after you have given it to us.
Insofar as we base the processing of your personal data on the balancing of interests (legal basis is then Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR), you can object to the processing. This is the case if, in particular, the processing is not necessary for the fulfilment of a contract with you, which is addressed by us in the explanation of the individual data processing and functions on our websites further up in this privacy policy. When exercising such an objection, we ask you to explain the reasons why we should not process your personal data as we have done. In the event of your justified objection, we will examine the situation and will either discontinue or adapt the data processing or show you our compelling reasons worthy of protection on the basis of which we will continue the processing.
Right to object to direct advertising
Of course, you can object to the processing of your personal data for advertising and data analysis purposes at any time, e.g. even if you receive advertising from us in the form of a newsletter, customer magazine or information material by post as part of a business relationship.
If we use your data in the context of functions of our websites for direct advertising and an associated data analysis, we will inform you about this data processing further above in this data protection declaration, including the possibility of exercising your right of objection by technical means if necessary.
Contact options regarding your rights
You can contact us at any time to exercise your rights. The best way to do this is to use the following e-mail address: info@fcs.aero
You are also welcome to use one of the contact options in our legal notice or contact our data protection officer directly (contact details above).
Data security
We also use technical and organisational security measures to protect personal data that is generated or collected, in particular against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or attack by unauthorised persons. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.
The transmission of your personal data is encrypted using SSL technology (https) to prevent access by unauthorised third parties.
Communication by e-mail
Our e-mail systems support encrypted communication using SSL technology (TLS 1.2 incl. PFS). The transmission of your e-mail can therefore always be encrypted. Please note, however, that encryption also depends on the configuration of your e-mail programme and we are therefore unable to guarantee complete data security for the transport route.
For information requiring a high level of confidentiality, we recommend that you send it by post.
