We have developed this website so as to collect as little data from you as possible. In general, it is possible to visit our website without providing any personal data. Only if you decide to take advantage of certain services (such as by using the contact form) will it be necessary to process your personal data. When doing so, we always process your personal data only in accordance with a lawful justification, or in accordance with consent granted by you. We comply with the regulations of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), enacted on 5/25/2018, and with applicable national legislation such as the German Federal Data Protection Act, the Telemedia Act, or other specific laws on data protection.

We collect and process your personal data only if you provide it to us voluntarily with your knowledge of said processing. This is the case if you contact us and request information on our services and products. In general, this contact is carried out via email. If you contact us via email, you transmit personal data to us voluntarily and make it available for processing. We will only process your data in the framework of the purposes indicated above. If a contract or business relationship does not come into being, we will delete your data once the purpose for which it was collected no longer applies.
The personal data and content you provide are retained exclusively by us and our affiliated companies. We will only store and process your data for the purposes indicated in clause 5. Any usage going beyond the indicated purpose requires your express consent. The same is true of the transmission and transfer of your data to third parties.
The web server temporarily saves the connection data for the requesting computer (IP address), the pages of our website that you visit, the date and duration of your visit, the identification data for the browser used and the operating system type, as well as the website from which you visit us and the fact that access was successful in log files. Technical administration of the websites and anonymous collection of statistical data allow us to analyze access to CREMER ERZKONTOR's website and to evaluate this data with the goal of improving data protection and data security within our company, in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process.
Data in the server log files is stored separately from all of the personal data you provide. Unless different retention obligations apply by law, we delete your IP address seven days after you leave our website.
Our website is hosted by an external service provider. The personal data collected on this website is stored on the hoster's servers. Our hosting service provider will only process your data insofar as this is necessary for it to provide its services, and will follow our instructions in relation to this data. We have concluded a contract data processing agreement with the hosting service provider in accordance with Art. 28 para. 3 clause 1 GDPR. We use the provider teuto.net Netzdienste GmbH, Niedernstr. 26, 33602 Bielefeld as our hosting service provider.
You can contact us via email or using our contact form (offer form for business customers). In this case, we will save the personal data you provide in order to process your inquiry and contact you for the purpose of handling your concerns. If we request information via our contact form, we have marked the mandatory fields (asterisk) required when contacting us. We use the voluntary information for further details about your inquiry and to better handle your concerns. You provide the requested data to us on a purely voluntary basis.
Depending on the type of inquiry, the legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR for inquiries that you yourself submit in the framework of pre-contractual measures, or Art. 6 para. 1 clause 1 lit. f GDPR, if your inquiry is of some other type. The legitimate interest follows from the purposes indicated under clause 3 a.). If personal data is requested which we do not need to fulfill a contract or safeguard legitimate interests, then it shall be transmitted to us only based on your consent according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

Unfortunately, transmitting information over the internet is never 100%
secure, so we are not able to guarantee the security of data transmitted
to our website over the internet.
However, we do secure our website against loss, destruction, access,
change or distribution of your data by unauthorized persons via
technical and organizational measures. In particular, we transmit your
personal data in an encrypted format. We use the SSL/TLS coding system
(Secure Sockets Layer/ Transport Layer Security) to do so. Our security
measures are continuously improved according to new technological
developments.
If you are considered a data subject in the sense of Art. 4 no. 1 GDPR, you have the following rights with respect to the processing of your personal data under the GDPR.
Right to confirmation and information
Under the requirements of Art. 15 GDPR, you have the right to request
confirmation of whether your personal data is being processed and to
receive information free of charge at any time from the controller
responsible for the processing regarding the personal data saved on you,
as well as to receive a copy of this information.
Right to rectification
Under the requirements of Art. 16 GDPR, you have the right to request prompt rectification of your incorrect personal data. In addition, you have the right to request that incomplete personal data be completed -- including with a supplementary declaration -- in consideration of the purposes of processing.
Right to deletion
Under the requirements of Art. 17 GDPR, you have the right to request that your personal data is deleted promptly if one of the grounds under Art. 17 GDPR applies, and if the processing is not necessary.

Under the requirements of Art. 18 GDPR, you have the right to request

applies.
Right to data portability
Under the requirements of Art. 20 GDPR, you have the right to receive the personal data that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly-used and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transmit this data to another controller without our interference, if the further requirements of Art. 20 GDPR apply.

Right to submit complaints to a supervisory authority
Regardless of any other legal remedies under administrative or other
law, you have the right to submit a complaint to a supervisory
authority, in particular in your member state of residence, your
workplace or the location of the alleged violation, if you believe that
processing of your personal data violates the specifications of the
GDPR.
Your personal data is transmitted as described below.
The website is hosted by an external service provider in Germany. By doing so, we ensure that data is processed only in Germany. This is required for the operation of the website and in order to initiate, carry out, and process the existing usage contract, and is possible even without your consent.
In addition, data is transmitted if we are entitled or obligated to disclose the data under statutory regulations and/or an official or court order. This may, in particular, include providing information for the purpose of criminal prosecution, to avoid danger, or to enforce intellectual property rights.
If your data is transmitted to a service provider in the required scope, they will only have access to your personal data as necessary to fulfill their duties. These service providers are obligated to treat your personal data in accordance with applicable data protection laws, in particular the GDPR.
In general, we will not transmit your data to third parties without your consent except in the circumstances described above. In particular, we will not provide any personal data to entities in a third country or an international organization.
With respect to the storage term, we delete personal data once it is no longer necessary to store the data in order to fulfill the original purpose, and once no further statutory retention periods apply. Statutory retention periods ultimately serve as the criteria for determining the final storage term for personal data. After the end of this term, corresponding data is routinely deleted. If there are retention periods, then processing is restricted in the form of blocking the data.
When you access websites that our website refers to, you may be asked for information such as your name, address, email address, browser characteristics, etc. once again. This data privacy declaration does not regulate the collection, transmission or handling of personal data by third parties.
Third party service providers may have their own, differing provisions governing the collection, processing, and use of personal data. Therefore, before entering personal data on third party websites, we advise you to learn about their practices for handling personal data.
We are always improving our website, in order to improve our services for you. We will keep this data privacy declaration up to date and adjust it accordingly if and insofar as this is necessary.
Of course, we will inform you promptly regarding any amendments to this
data privacy declaration. We will do so, for instance, via an email to
the email address you provide to us. If we require further consent from
you for our use of your data, we will of course obtain this consent from
you before relevant amendments go into effect.
You can always access the current version of our data privacy provisions

We have appointed a Data Protection Officer.
