2. Summary

  • This website does not set any cookies.
  • We do not use analytics or tracking tools, and no social media plugins.
  • Fonts, images and scripts are loaded exclusively from our own server. Visiting a page does not transfer any data to third parties such as Google.
  • There is no contact form. If you write to us, we process the data contained in your email.

3. Hosting and server log files

This website is hosted by IONOS SE, Elgendorfer Str. 57, 56410 Montabaur, Germany. We have concluded a data processing agreement with IONOS pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR. IONOS processes the data only on our instructions.

Whenever a page is requested, your browser automatically transmits data to the server, which is stored in log files:

  • IP address of the requesting device
  • date and time of access
  • page or file requested
  • amount of data transferred and status code
  • website from which you reached our site (referrer)
  • browser and operating system used

This data is technically necessary to deliver the website and to ensure its security and stability, for example to prevent and investigate attacks. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the secure and error-free operation of the website. The log files are deleted as soon as they are no longer needed for these purposes. They are not combined with other data sources.

4. Contact by email or phone

If you contact us by email or phone, we process the data you provide, for example your name, company, email address, phone number and the content of your enquiry, in order to deal with your request.

The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your enquiry relates to a contract or to steps prior to entering into a contract. In all other cases the legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR; our legitimate interest lies in answering your enquiry.

We delete the data once your enquiry has been fully dealt with, unless statutory retention obligations apply. Business correspondence and documents relevant to accounting are retained for six or ten years in accordance with German commercial and tax law (§ 257 HGB, § 147 AO).

Please note that emails are generally not end-to-end encrypted in transit. If necessary, send confidential information to us by other means.

Some data sheets are provided via Google Drive, a service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Only when you click such a link is the page loaded from Google, and Google receives data such as your IP address. Google is responsible for this processing; see Google’s privacy policy.

Our pages also contain links to other websites, for example to the GMP Sampling shop. When you click such a link, you leave our website. The respective provider is responsible for processing your data there.

6. Encryption

For security reasons this website uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by “https://” in the address bar and the lock symbol in your browser.

7. Your rights

With regard to your personal data, you have the following rights:

  • right of access (Art. 15 GDPR)
  • right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR)
  • right to erasure (Art. 17 GDPR)
  • right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR)
  • right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR)

An informal message to the address above is sufficient.

Right to object under Art. 21 GDPR: Where we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, you may object to this processing at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation. We will then no longer process the data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

8. Right to lodge a complaint

You have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. The authority responsible for us is:

Landesbeauftragte für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit Nordrhein-Westfalen
Kavalleriestraße 2–4
40213 Düsseldorf, Germany
www.ldi.nrw.de

9. No automated decision-making

There is no automated decision-making, including profiling, within the meaning of Art. 22 GDPR. You are not obliged to provide us with personal data; without it, however, we cannot answer an enquiry.

10. Changes

We update this privacy policy when the website or the legal requirements change. The version published here applies.
