With the help of this privacy notice, Pure Fi wants to inform you about our processing activities concerning personal information. We will only use your personal information as set out in this privacy policy. Below you will find information on how and for which purpose we use personal information.
I. Overview on the relevant processing activities
The following summary provides you with a quick overview on our use of personal information. You may find more details under the indicated sections below.
When you visit our website without using any specific functions (e.g. submitting an application for an open position, using the contact form), we will use only limited personal information to provide you with the secure use of the website itself (for details, see Section II).
You have the possibility to contact us, e.g. via our contact form or by sending us an email. We will use your contact data as well as additional information you may have provided to process your request and respond respectively. For more information, please see Section III.
In the course of the processing activities outlined above, your personal information may be disclosed to third parties or service providers who support us in performing the activities. Where necessary, we take reasonable steps to safeguard the transfer to these recipients (for details, see Section IV).
We will store the personal information we collect about you for the time necessary to pursue the original purpose. Afterwards, we will delete your information, unless we are legally entitled or obliged to further retention (for details, see Section V).
Depending on where you live, you may be entitled to exercise certain rights with regard to the use of your personal information, including but not limited to the right to information, access, and deletion (for details, see Sections VI and VII).
II. What information do we use when you visit our website?
When you visit our website without (i) interacting with any of the available functions (e.g. the contact form) or (ii) otherwise providing us with personal information, we may still collect information about you, which is automatically recognized by our server, i.e. the browser type and browser version, operating system used, referrer URL, host name of the accessing computer, time of service request, and IP address. While possible, we generally do not infer your general location information, for example by using your IP address. We need this information to enable the secure use of our website, for example by adapting the website to the needs of your device and preventing disruptions in the use of the offer – thus to provide our service to you. This is also in line with our interests in providing secure access to our website. We assume that the problem-free use of the website is also in your interest.
III. What information do we use when you contact us?
If you send us inquiries via the website based contact form or otherwise contact us (e.g. via email), we will use your email address as well as the content of the message and information you voluntarily provide to process your inquiry. Without this information, we are not able to properly respond to your request. Thus, we need the personal information to provide the requested service to you.
IV. Who will receive your information and where are the recipients located?
Other than the scenarios outlined above, we may share your personal information with service providers and third parties to pursue the purposes mentioned above. We may also disclose your personal information with your permission.
For some of the purposes outlined above we engage service providers who assist us in providing our services, such as cloud providers. The service providers are contractually obliged to use your personal information only in accordance with our instructions and to the extent permitted by law. We may also share your personal information with service providers, advisors, potential transactional partners, or other third parties in connection with the consideration, negotiation, or completion of a corporate transaction in which we are acquired by or merged with another company or we sell, liquidate, or transfer all or a portion of our assets. The use of your information following any of these events will be governed by the provisions of this Privacy Policy in effect at the time the applicable information was collected. Further, we may also be required to share your information with third parties, e.g. authorities, to ensure that we comply with all relevant laws and obligations.
Within the scope of our sharing activities set out above, your personal information may be transferred to other countries, which may have different data protection standards than your country of residence. Please note that the use of personal information in a foreign country may be subject to foreign laws and accessible to foreign governments, courts, law enforcement, and regulatory agencies. Thus, we take respective safeguards to ensure an adequate data protection level at the seat of the recipient. For more information on these measures please contact us.

If your personal information is no longer required for the above-mentioned purposes, it will be deleted, provided, that there are no further legal retention obligations or that we are otherwise entitled to retain your personal information for a longer period of time.

If you are located in the European Union or the European Economic Area the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) may apply when we use your personal information as outlined above. Therefore, we would like to provide you some additional information on the legal bases justifying our use of your personal information as well as your rights as a data subject.
Legal bases under the GDPR
The activities including the use of personal information outlined above are based on the following legal bases:
