Privacy Policy

FUTURO takes the protection of your personal data very seriously. We adhere strictly to data protection laws, in particular the European General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR). Personal data is only collected on this website to the extent that is technically necessary. Under no circumstances will the data collected be sold or passed on to third parties for other reasons.

The following statement gives you an overview of how we guarantee this protection and what type of data is collected for what purpose.

Data collection when visiting our website

This website is hosted by Host Europe and maintained using the WordPress content management system.

When you visit a Host Europe website, their servers automatically save the information that the browser sends when this page is visited. The information includes the request, the IP address, the browser type and language as well as the date and time of the request.

The information is used to analyse and maintain the technical operation of Host Europe's servers and network and to combat abuse.

To find out what data Host Europe collects and how it is used, we recommend that you read Host Europe's privacy policy: https://www.hosteurope.de/AGB/Datenschutzerklaerung/

Websites hosted by Host Europe are delivered TLS-encrypted (HTTPS). You can recognise the secure connection by the small green lock symbol in the address bar of your web browser.

Links/content from external providers

We use active JavaScript content and fonts on our website, which may also originate from external providers such as Google. By accessing our website, these providers may receive information about your visit to our website, for example by transmitting your IP address. You can prevent this transmission by installing a JavaScript blocker, such as the browser plugin 'NoScript', or by deactivating JavaScript in your browser. However, this can lead to functional restrictions.

On our website, we also integrate third-party content, such as images, texts, multimedia files and a language selection ('Google Translate') from other websites. This always requires your IP address to be transmitted to the providers of this content. We cannot make any statement about the use of this data. In particular, we cannot say whether the data is used for other purposes, such as profiling. Please refer to the relevant data protection notices of the respective third-party providers. You can protect yourself against further tracking by tracking pixels from these providers by switching off the acceptance of third-party cookies in your browser settings.

Cookie settings

As a rule, we do not use cookies on our websites. Only in exceptional cases are so-called session cookies used, which store data for technical session control in your browser's memory. This data is not personalised. If, in exceptional cases, we also need to store personal data in a cookie, we will obtain your express consent in advance. We would also like to point out that browsers generally have functions for managing cookies.
