For general questions or suggestions on the topic of data protection you can contact us at any time using the contact details listed below.

Scope

This privacy statement contains information about the type, scope and purpose of the collection and use of your data by the responsible provider. The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG new) and the Telemedia Act (TMG) form the legal framework for data protection.

Collecting general information

Information is automatically collected by us or the webspace provider every time you access these websites. This information, also called server log files, is of a general nature and cannot be traced back to specific individuals. The following information is collected: name of website, file, date, data volume, web browser and web browser version, operating system, domain name of your Internet provider, the so-called referrer URL (page from where you accessed our offer) and the IP address. Without this data it would not be technically possible to deliver and display the content of the website. In this respect the collection of the data is mandatory. We also use the anonymous information for statistical purposes. It helps us to optimise the offering and technology. We reserve the right to subsequently check the log files upon suspicion of illegal use of our offer.

Handling personal data

Definition: Personal data is all information which can identify a specific person. It is data that can be traced back to a specific person. This personal data includes the first name, surname, address, telephone number, as well as the e-mail address. Hobbies, memberships and preferences, as well as websites that have been called up are also considered personal data.
This data is only collected, used and if necessary disclosed by us to the extent permitted by law or if the user agrees to the collection, processing, use and disclosure of the data (declaration of consent at the end of the respective form). Grimm Metallpulver GmbH only discloses personal information to third parties who act for or on behalf of Grimm Metallpulver GmbH - insofar as we are not obligated to do so on the basis of a legal regulation or a court order. Third parties may include, for example, companies who assist us with services. These companies are not authorised to use the information disclosed by us for purposes other than those we inform you of in this privacy statement.

Registration on our website

Personal data is collected when you register on our website to use personalised services. This includes the name, address, as well as telephone number and e-mail address, as contact and communication data. For certain functions also additional information such as the name of your organisation or the status number of your town. The registration enables access to services and content which are only available to registered users. If required, registered users have the option to change or delete data provided in the course of registration at any time. Upon request, we shall notify you of which personal data has been collected and saved. In addition, we will rectify or delete the data on request, provided there are no legal retention requirements. For any queries or request to rectify or delete the data, please use the contact details below.

Providing fee-based services

We request additional data so that we can provide fee-based services. This applies, e.g., to details concerning payment. So that the security of your data is guaranteed during the transmission, we work with encryption methods (such as SSL) via HTTPS which reflect the current state of the art.

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we use the data you entered solely for this purpose or in order to inform you of circumstances relevant for this service or the registration. We do not disclose this data to third parties. A valid e-mail address is required to receive the newsletter. The IP address via which you register for the newsletter and the date on which you order the newsletter are also saved. This data serves as proof in the event of misuse, if a strange e-mail address is registered for the newsletter. In order to ensure that an e-mail address is not fraudulently entered by third parties on our mailing list, we work with the so-called "Double-Opt-In" method in compliance with the law. In the course of this method the ordering of the newsletter, the sending of the confirmation e-mail and the receipt of the registration confirmation are logged. You have the opportunity at any time to revoke your consent to saving the data, your e-mail address and its use for the newsletter distribution. For a revocation we provide a link in every newsletter and on the website. You also have the option to notify us of your revocation request using the contact details below.

Contact us

When you contact us using the online form or by e-mail, we save the details you provided in order to be able to answer your query and ask follow-up questions.

Integration of services and content of third parties

Our offer may sometimes include content and services of other providers. This includes, e.g., maps, which are made available by Google Maps, YouTube videos, as well as graphics and images from other websites. The transfer of the IP address is mandatory so that this data can be called up and displayed in the user's browser. The providers (hereinafter referred to as "third-party providers") use the respective user's IP address. Even though we always strive to only use third-party providers who only require the IP address in order to be able to deliver content, we have no influence on whether the IP address is saved. In that case this process is used for statistical purposes. We will notify our users if we are aware that the IP address is saved.

Cookies

This website uses so-called cookies. These are text files which are saved by the server on your computer. They contain information about the browser, IP address, operating system and Internet connection. These details are not disclosed to third parties by us or linked to personal data without your consent.
Cookies perform two tasks. They help us to facilitate your navigation through our offer and enable the correct display of the website. They are not used to introduce viruses or start programmes. Users have the option to also call up our offer without cookies. For this, the corresponding settings must be changed in the browser. Use the Help function in your browser to find out how to deactivate cookies. Please note, however, that some functions of this website may be affected by the deactivation of cookies and the comfort of use may be restricted. The sites http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ (USA) and http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices/ (Europa) allow you to manage online advertising cookies.

Use of Vimeo plug-ins

We use the provider Vimeo for integrating videos. Vimeo is operated by Vimeo, LLC with registered office at 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011. We use plug-ins from Vimeo on some of our websites. When you call up the page of our website with such a plug-in, e.g. for "About us", a connection to the Vimeo servers is established and the plug-in is displayed. Information about which of our web pages you visited is transferred to the Vimeo server. If you are logged in as a Vimeo member, Vimeo assigns this information to your personal user account. With the use of the plug-in, such as clicking on the start button of a video, this information is also assigned to your user account. You can prevent this assignment by logging out of your Vimeo user account before using our website and deleting the corresponding cookies of Vimeo. The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Vimeo, as well as your rights in this regard and setting options to protect your privacy, can be found in the privacy notices of Vimeo:https://vimeo.com/privacy

Data economy

We only save personal data in accordance with the principles of data avoidance and data economy to the extent necessary or as prescribed by law (legal retention period). We block or erase the data once the purpose of the collected information ceases to exist or the retention period ends.

Data security

In order to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure and to ensure the correctness of the data and legitimate use of the data, we use corresponding technical and organisational methods. Nevertheless, electronic communication is not completely secure. This means that all data and information which you share with us voluntarily may be acquired by third parties as part of an illegal data procurement process. We accept no responsibility or liability for the disclosure of information due to errors and/or unauthorised access during the data transmission by third parties.

References and links

When calling up websites, which are linked within the framework of this website, details such as name, address, e-mail address, browser properties, etc., may be requested again. This data protection regulation does not regulate the collection, disclosure or handling of personal data by third parties. Third-party service providers may have different and separate provisions on the collection, processing and use of personal data. Therefore, it is advised to obtain information on third-party websites about their practice on handling personal data before entering personal data.

Your rights to disclosure, rectification, blocking, erasure and revocation

You have the right to request disclosure of the personal data saved by us free of charge and on application and/or insist on the rectification, blocking or erasure of such data. Exceptions: This is the prescribed data storage for business processing or the data is subject to the statutory retention obligation. For these purposes please contact our Data Protection Officer (contact details: at the end of the privacy statement). In order to be able to consider data blocking at any time, it is necessary to keep the data in a blocked data file for monitoring purposes. If there is no statutory archiving obligation, you can also request the erasure of the data. Otherwise, we block the data if you wish.

Changes to our privacy statement

In order to guarantee that our privacy statement always meets the current legal requirements, we reserve the right to make amendments at any time. This also applies in the event that the privacy statement has to be adapted due to new or revised services, e.g. new services. The new privacy statement takes effect when you next visit our website. In addition, all employees and cooperation partners are regularly trained by us in this regard and are also required by us to comply with the data protection regulations.
