  1. Categories of personal data we collect

 

  • Contact information such as your full name, business address belonging to you, telephone number, mobile number, fax number and email address;
  • Payment information, such as any data required to process payments and prevent fraud, including credit or debit card numbers, any security codes and other billing information;
  • Data that is legally required for compliance purposes, such as litigation information that may be relevant for antitrust purposes, for example:
  • Usage data when you visit our websites, such as the browser you use, the device and operating system you use, the time you spend on our website, the date and time of your visit, the location of access, the language, the use of website features, the search terms you may have entered, the frequency with which you access our websites, your most recent visits, the website from which you arrived at our websites, for example by clicking on Google Ads banners, and the website you visit from our websites, whether by clicking on links on our websites or by entering a domain directly into the input field of the same tab (or window) of your browser in which you opened our websites.

 

The provision of contact information, payment details and data for compliance purposes is necessary for the conclusion of a contract. If we do not receive the personal data from you, we may not be able to enter into a contract with you or fulfil our contractual obligations to you at all or in full. Usage data is not required for the conclusion of a contract. However, if they are not provided to us, we may not be able to provide all the features of our website.

 

  1. Purposes of the processing and legal bases

 

We use personal data for the following purposes:

 

  • planning, executing, controlling and managing your contractual relationship with us, for example by executing transactions and orders for products or services, processing payment transactions, performing accounting, auditing, billing and debt collection activities, arranging shipments and deliveries, facilitating repairs and providing support services or providing other services at your instigation (Art. 6 No. 1 lit. b DSGVO);
  • ensuring compliance with legal obligations (such as accounting obligations), compliance checks or record-keeping obligations (for example, under competition laws, export laws, trade sanctions and embargo laws or the prevention of economic crime or money laundering); this may involve us matching your contact details or other information you provide against applicable lists of sanctioned parties and contacting you to confirm your identity if there is a possible match in that matching, or recording an interaction with you that may be relevant for antitrust purposes (Art. 6 No. 1 lit. b or c DSGVO);
  • contacting you within an existing business relationship, where legally permissible, to inform you about products or services of ours that are similar or related to products and services you have already purchased or used within that business relationship (usually based on Art. 6 No. 1 lit. f DSGVO; if you have given us consent to do so, based on Art. 6 No. 1 lit. a DSGVO);
  • the settlement of disputes, the enforcement of our contractual agreements and the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims (Art. 6 No. 1 lit. b DSGVO);
  • ensuring compliance with legal obligations, for example the retention of sales records for tax purposes or the sending of notices and other disclosures required by law (Art. 6 No. 1 lit. c DSGVO); or
  • the usage data to optimise our website and our online offer, as well as the (direct) marketing of our own products and services on the basis of our legitimate interest in being able to offer a functioning website that meets the needs of our users (Art. 6 No. lit. f DSGVO).

We will not use your personal data to make automated decisions concerning you or to carry out profiling.

 

In relation to direct marketing (for example, by email), we will only transfer your personal data if you have consented to such processing, insofar as this is required by law.
