Dill Knopffabrik Data Privacy Policy
Data privacy is of our utmost concern.
We are delighted that you are interested in our company, products and services and want you to feel safe visiting our websites, not least in terms of personal data protection. Your data is collected and used in strict compliance with Germany’s Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and Telemedia Act (TMG). We are particularly committed to keeping your personal data confidential, and we therefore work strictly within the statutory framework in force. Personal data is collected on a voluntary basis, whenever this is possible for us. We will only share such data with third parties if you have expressly consented to this. By using SSL encryption, our aim is to ensure high levels of security on our website in general. After all, we do take the protection of your personal data very seriously. It goes without saying that we comply with the provisions of the Federal Data Protection Act and other data protection laws. We want you to know what data we are collecting, when, and how we are using it. We have put in place technical and organisational measures to ensure that both we, and external service providers, follow data privacy rules.
Personal data
‘Personal data’ means any information concerning the personal or material circumstances of an identified or identifiable individual. Personal data such as your real name, e-mail address, postal address or telephone number can identify you as an individual. Other personal data such as your age, gender, profession or your PC’s IP address cannot identify you directly, but can make you identifiable as an individual, and is therefore also included under data privacy.
Following the principles of data reduction and data economy, we only collect personal data to the extent that and for as long as this is necessary for using our website or as required by law. When collecting and processing personal data, we comply strictly with the applicable statutory provisions and with this Data Privacy Policy. If the purpose for which data was collected no longer applies, or the statutory retention period has lapsed, collected data is blocked or erased.
Our website can often be used without any personal data being shared. When we collect personal data – your name, address or e-mail address, for example – this data is collected on a voluntary basis. Such data is never shared with third parties, unless you have expressly consented to this.
Provision of information, erasure and blocking
You can obtain from us, at any time and free of charge, information about the personal data we have stored about you, as well as about where this data came from, who the recipient was, and what the purpose was for collecting and processing the data. You also have the right to demand that your data be corrected, blocked or erased. This does not include data that must be retained by law or is required to properly perform transactions. So that data can be blocked at any time, data is held in a blocked file for control purposes. If data does not have to be archived by law, we will erase your data at your request. If there is an obligation to archive data, we will block your data. If you have any questions or concerns about the correction, blocking or erasure of personal data, please contact our Data Protection Officer using the contact details given in this Data Privacy Policy or at the address given in the Legal Notice.
