Collection of data
You can use our online-presentation, in principle, without disclosing your personal data. By using our website, data is stored on our servers for safeguarding purposes, e.g. the name of your internet service provider, the website that you used to link to our site, the websites that you visit from our site and your IP-Address. This data could possibly lead to your identification, however it is not used for this purpose. The data is used for statistical purposes, but the individual user remains anonymous. As far as data being given to external organizations, we have assured, through technical and organizational means, that the data security regulations are followed.
Collection and processing of personal data
Personal data is only collected if you provide it to us, i.e. as part of the registration, through completion of forms or e-mails, as part of an order for products or services, or inquiries or requests about materials being ordered.
The database and its contents remain at our company and stay with our provider. Your personal data is not passed on by us or by our agents for use by third parties in any form whatsoever, unless we have obtained your consent or an official injunction to do so.
