Privacy policy

Scope

Main-Metall International AG is responsible for the processing of your personal data according to the EU data protection regulation GDPR.

Main-Metall International AG takes the data protection very seriously and treats personal data confidentially and according to the legal regulations.

The following privacy policy describes how Main-Metall International AG collects, uses and protects personal data.

We point out that the transmission of data on the Internet can generally have security gaps. Full protection against access by third parties is not feasible.
 

Personal Data

Visiting our website is possible without providing your personal data. If on our side personal data are collected, this takes place, as far as possible, voluntarily. These data will not be disclosed to third parties without your explicit consent.

Without the specification of your personal data, however, we cannot process inquiries or orders, send requested information or provide technical assistance.


Collection of data

We collect two different types of data:

• data that you provide to us actively
• data automatically collected on our website


Data that you provide to us actively

If you want to contact us, e.g.

• have an inquiry,
• need further information or
• wish an individual consultation with one of our employees,

you can use our online contact form.

Through this contact form, you provide us with some basic data (name, address, phone number and e-mail address) so that we can provide you with the service you are looking for.

If you have requested us to send you information about our products and services, you may opt out of receiving further information at any time by notifying us by e-mail.
 

Data automatically collected on our website

When you visit our website, we will log your IP address and other general data (visited pages, time of access, amount of data sent in bytes, link from which you came to the page, browser used, operating system used). This data is aggregated with the data of all visitors to our websites to determine the number of visitors, the average time spent on our website, the pages accessed, and so on. The results are used for internal purposes only. Tracking on you as a person is not possible.

The collected data are therefore only statistical evaluations and are used to improve our website. Main-Metall International AG reserves the right, however, to retrospectively check the server log files if concrete evidence points to unlawful use.
 

Use of data

We will use personal information only to

• execute orders that have been placed online,
• to process a request or inquiry,
• to contact you if you asked us to do so,
• to inform you about our products and services.

If you provide us with your contact details, we will ask you if we may use this information to send you information about our products and services. If you do not object, we will use your contact information to inform you about our products and services.

Exchange of data with third parties

In addition to the types of uses described above, Main-Metall International AG communicates its data to third parties involved in the fulfillment of the contract or the provision of services. If you e.g. have placed an order via our website, your order information will be passed on to partner companies or contractors who process your order or participate in the fulfillment of the contract or service. In principle, data is only passed on if it is required to fulfill and deliver your order or to process your request.

Main-Metall International AG does not pass on the personal data of the users of our website, if there is no permission to do so.

However, we will pass on personal data to third parties, as far as we are legally obliged to do so.

We do not sell user data and e-mail addresses to other companies that send you unsolicited advertising or mail.

Third-party advertisements or links to other websites displayed on our website may collect user data when clicked on or followed by instructions. We have no control over the information that is voluntarily or involuntarily collected through third-party ads or websites. If you have concerns about the collection or use of your data on these advertisements and links, we recommend you to review the privacy policies of these sites.

 

Rights of information, deletion and blocking

You have the right to receive free information on your stored personal data, its origin and destination and the purpose of the data processing as well as the right to rectification, blocking or deletion of this data, provided that there is no legal obligation to retain this data.

Cookies

This site uses cookies. These are small text files that are stored on your device. Your browser accesses these files. The use of cookies increases the user-friendliness and security of this website.

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and enable the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.
 

Communication by e-mail

We use emails for general business communication, services and fulfillment of our contracts (purchasing, sales, accounting, ...). For this we store your e-mail address in our database. There are no automatic e-mails sent from our homepage.


Security and encryption

This site uses SSL encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of sensitive content that you send to us. You can recognize an encrypted connection by changing the address line of the browser from "http: //" to "https: //" and the lock symbol in your browser line.
If SSL encryption is enabled, the data you submit to us cannot be read by third parties.


Main-Metall International AG thus offers you a secure environment when using the website; absolute security of your data can not be guaranteed. Therefore, you are taking a security risk with your data when you register on our website.


Links

This website contains links to other websites. Some of these websites may use Main-Metall logos and may therefore look like websites operated by Main-Metall International AG, but are actually operated by independent third parties. This should be reflected on the relevant website or in the Terms of Use or Privacy Policy.

Main-Metall International AG has no control over the content or operation of third party websites and is not responsible for the performance of any orders or services ordered through such website, nor is Main-Metall International AG responsible for the privacy policy of such websites and the data that are collected there explicitly or automatically.

In case of difficulties or other problems in connection with third party websites, we would like to ask you to contact this third party directly and not Main-Metall International AG.


Privacy Policy and Terms of Use

This Privacy Policy applies in conjunction with our Terms of Use.

We reserve the right to change, amend, or remove parts of the Privacy Policy at any time.
