If the processing of personal data is required and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject and the provision of personal data should, in principle, be voluntary. These data will not be disclosed to third parties without your explicit consent.

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

If you send inquiries to SILANFA via the contact form, your details will be saved from the inquiry form including the contact details you provided there. This always happens purposeful and in case of follow-up questions. We will not disclose this data without your consent.

Newsletter

The newsletters of SILANFA contain so-called counting pixels. A counting pixel is a miniature graphic that is embedded in such emails that are sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and log file analysis. This allows a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Based on the embedded pixel, SILANFA can detect whether and when an e-mail was opened by a data subject and which links in the e-mail were accessed by the data subject.
Such personal data collected via the counting pixels contained in the newsletters will be stored and evaluated by the controller in order to optimize the delivery of newsletters and to better adapt the content of future newsletters to the interests of the data subject. This personal data will not be disclosed to third parties. Affected persons are at any time entitled to revoke the separate declaration of consent made via the double-opt-in procedure. After revocation, this personal data will be deleted by the controller. A cancellation of the receipt of the newsletter, the SILANFA automatically interpreted as a revocation.

Blog and Blog comments

SILANFA offers users the opportunity to leave individual comments on individual blog posts on a blog located on the website of the controller. A blog is a web-based, usually public-accessible portal in which one or more people who are called bloggers or web bloggers can publish articles or write down thoughts in so-called blog posts. The blog posts can usually be commented on by third parties. If an affected person leaves a comment in the blog published on this website, not only the comments left by the person concerned, but also information on the time of the commentary input and the username (pseudonym) chosen by the person concerned are saved and published. Furthermore, the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) of the data subject is also logged. This storage of the IP address is made for security reasons and in the event that the data subject violates the rights of third parties or posts illegal contents by submitting a comment. The storage of such personal data is therefore in the own interest of the controller, so that he could exculpate in case of infringement. There is no disclosure of this personal data to third parties, unless such disclosure is not required by law or the legal defense of the controller.
The comments made in the blog of SILANFA can in principle be subscribed to by third parties. In particular, there is the possibility that a commentator subscribes to comments following a comment on a particular blog post.
If an affected person decides to subscribe to the option to comment, the controller will send an automatic confirmation email to double-check whether the owner of the specified email address for that person is actually checking the email Option has been decided. The option to subscribe to comments can be terminated at any time.
