Official Statement from HOSTINGER to FASTNET GmbH
"We cannot access the majority of our customers’ server systems and thus the personal data stored there without restriction.

Nevertheless, we understand your need for legal certainty in this matter and accordingly enter into the data processing agreement pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR with you, irrespective of any mandatory legal obligation."
General Notes
Data Protection
FASTNET GmbH takes the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with legal data protection regulations and this privacy statement.
When you visit fastnet-gmbh.de, various personal data are collected. Personal data are data by which you can be personally identified. This privacy statement explains which data we collect and how we use them. It also explains how and for what purpose this occurs.
Please note that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., email communication) may have security gaps. A completely secure data transfer to third parties is not possible.
Mandatory Information
Responsible Entity
The responsible entity for data processing on this website is:
Fabig & Staimer IT Network GmbH
Großbeerenstr. 2-10 (Sirius Business Park)
12107 Berlin
Germany
The responsible entity is the natural or legal person that alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, email addresses).
Data Retention Period
Unless a more specific retention period is stated in this privacy statement, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose of processing lapses. If you exercise a legitimate request for deletion or withdraw consent, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible grounds for storage (e.g., statutory retention periods); in that case, deletion occurs after those grounds lapse.
Your Rights
Withdrawal of Consent to Data Processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may revoke already given consent at any time. The lawfulness of processing carried out up to the withdrawal remains unaffected.
You have the right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct advertising (Art. 21 GDPR).
If processing is based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you may object to the processing of your personal data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this privacy statement. If you object, FASTNET GmbH will no longer process your personal data unless we demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds overriding your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims (objection under Art. 21(1) GDPR). If your data are processed for direct advertising, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for such advertising; this also applies to profiling related to such direct advertising. If you object, your personal data will no longer be used for direct advertising purposes (objection under Art. 21(2) GDPR).
Right to Lodge a Complaint with a Supervisory Authority
In case of violations of GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged infringement. The complaint is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to Data Portability
You have the right to receive data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract in a common, machine-readable format and to transmit it to another controller, where technically feasible.
Data Security, SSL/TLS Encryption
FASTNET GmbH has implemented both technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data against loss, destruction, manipulation, and unauthorized access. Our employees and all persons involved in data processing are obligated to comply with data protection laws and treat personal data confidentially.
fastnet-gmbh.de uses SSL/TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries you send to us as website operators. You can recognize a secure connection by the change in the browser address bar from http:// to https:// and the lock icon in your browser’s address bar.
When SSL/TLS encryption is enabled, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Encrypted Payment Transactions on This Website
If, after concluding a paid contract, you are required to provide us with your payment data (e.g., account number for direct debit), these data are necessary for payment processing.
Payment transactions via common payment methods (PayPal, Visa, MasterCard, and direct debit) are conducted exclusively over encrypted SSL/TLS connections. You can recognize a secure connection by the change in the browser address bar from http:// to https:// and the lock icon in your browser’s address bar. During encrypted communication, your payment data cannot be read by third parties.
Access, Deletion, and Correction
You have the right under applicable law to obtain free information about your stored personal data, its origin, recipients, and purpose of processing, and, if applicable, the right to correct or delete these data. For this purpose and for further questions on personal data, you may contact us at any time. You also have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data. To exercise this right, please contact us at any time. Restriction of processing is possible in the following cases:
- If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we generally need time to verify accuracy. During this period, you have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data.
- If processing of your personal data has been or is unlawful, you may request restriction of processing instead of deletion.
- If we no longer need your personal data but you require them for asserting, exercising, or defending legal claims, you may request restriction of processing instead of deletion.
- If you have objected under Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balance between your interests and those of FASTNET GmbH must be made. As long as it is not clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data.
If you have requested restriction of processing, these data – except for their storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person, or for important public interest reasons of the EU or a Member State.
