The controller determines, alone or jointly with others, the purposes and means of processing personal data.

Hosting and server log files

This website is operated on Firebase Hosting, a service of Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland). When you open the page, the provider processes information transmitted automatically by your browser in server log files:

• browser type and version
• operating system used
• referrer URL
• time of the server request
• IP address

This processing is technically necessary in order to deliver the website and to ensure its stability and security. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in a secure and functioning website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). These data are not combined with other data sources.

Because Google LLC is a company based in the United States, a transfer of data to the USA cannot be ruled out. Google is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework; standard contractual clauses are additionally in place.

Contact form and enquiries

If you send us an enquiry through the form on this website, we process the details you enter:

• name
• email address
• trade show and dates (optional)
• your message (optional)
• time of submission

These data are used solely to handle your enquiry and to be available for follow-up questions. They are not passed on to third parties. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR where the enquiry serves to initiate a contract, and otherwise our legitimate interest in handling enquiries (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

The enquiry is stored in a database of the Google Cloud Firestore service. The storage location of this database is europe-west3 (Frankfurt am Main, Germany). We keep enquiries for as long as is necessary to deal with your request and to comply with statutory retention periods; beyond that we delete them.

Recording where your enquiry came from

If you reach this website through a link in one of our emails or advertisements, the address bar may contain markers such as ?b=, ?m= or ?src=. We store these markers together with your enquiry so that we can tell which route it came through. This is purely an origin marker: no profiling takes place, and the marker is not combined with data from other providers. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in evaluating how well our own outreach works (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

Technically, the marker is held in your browser's local session storage (sessionStorage) until you close the tab. It is not a cookie, and the information leaves your browser only if you actually submit the form.

Language selection

This website exists in German and in English. If your browser is not set to German, you are sent to the English version once. The only thing evaluated for this is the language setting of your browser, which it sends with every page request anyway. It is not stored and not transmitted for this purpose.

If you explicitly pick a language using the DE / EN switch, that choice is noted in your browser's local session storage (sessionStorage) until you close the tab, so that the redirect does not send you back again. Only the value de is stored, no identifier and nothing that points to you. This is not a cookie either, and the value does not leave your browser.

Anonymous visit statistic

We want to know whether our page makes sense: whether visitors get as far as the prices, whether the contact form is found, whether a page behaves differently on a phone than on a computer. For that we collect a small statistic without cookies, without any identifier on your device and without IP addresses.

We record only:

• which link you arrived through (a marker such as ifa-v1-en, which belongs to the advertising measure, not to you)
• which site you came from, but only its name (for example google.com or linkedin.com). The full address is not stored — neither your search query nor the subpage you came from. Moves within our own site are not counted at all.
• which sections of the page were visible on your screen
• how far you scrolled, as a percentage
• how long you were on the page, in seconds
• whether it was a phone, a tablet or a computer
• the time zone and language setting of your browser (for example America/Los_Angeles and en-US). This tells us roughly which country a visit came from. We deliberately use no IP-based location lookup and no third-party geo service for this.
• whether the contact form was touched and whether it was submitted
• how many times you clicked, as a plain count

Explicitly not recorded: IP address, precise location, device identifier, browser identifier in clear text, the page you visited before, mouse movement, keystrokes, and anything you type into the form as long as you do not submit it.

For this statistic, nothing is stored on or read from your device: no cookie, no local storage. We are therefore unable to link any of it to you personally, and we cannot tell that two visits belong to the same person.

Would you rather not be counted? Append ?nicht-zaehlen=1 to the address. Nothing is then recorded in this browser, on later visits either. So that the opt-out stays in place, a single value is stored in your browser's local storage: faro_nicht_zaehlen=1. This is the only exception to the promise in the paragraph above, and it only happens if you trigger it yourself. To undo it, use ?nicht-zaehlen=0 or clear your browser's site data.

The data are stored with Google Firestore in Frankfurt am Main, the same place as the form enquiries, and deleted after twelve months at the latest. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR: our legitimate interest in a comprehensible website. Since no data are stored on or read from your device for the statistics, no consent under § 25 TDDDG is required. The opt-out value described above is stored only if you trigger it yourself, and serves solely to carry out your wish.

What this website does not do

For the avoidance of doubt, because websites commonly do otherwise:

• No cookies are set.
• There is no third-party audience measurement: no Google Analytics, no Matomo, no comparable service. We evaluate the anonymous statistic described above ourselves, and the data do not leave our own system.
• No fonts are loaded from external servers.
• No map, video or social media services are embedded. All films shown are on our own server; playing them creates no connection to YouTube, Vimeo or similar providers.

Contact by email

If you write to us directly by email, we process your details solely in order to deal with your request. Our mailbox is operated by STRATO AG (Otto-Ostrowski-Straße 7, 10249 Berlin, Germany).

SSL / TLS encryption

For security reasons this website uses SSL / TLS encryption. Data you transmit through this website cannot therefore be read by third parties.

Your rights

You have the right at any time to obtain, free of charge, information about your stored personal data, their origin and recipients, and the purpose of the processing. You also have the rights to rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, objection to processing, and data portability. An informal email to hello@studio-fabrica.de is sufficient.

Withdrawing your consent

Where processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw it at any time without formality. The lawfulness of processing carried out up to the withdrawal remains unaffected.

Right to lodge a complaint

You have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. The competent authority is the Berlin Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (Berliner Beauftragte für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit), Alt-Moabit 59–61, 10555 Berlin, Germany.
