Data protection

It is usually possible to use our website without providing any personal data. If personal data (name, address or e-mail addresses, for example) is collected on our site, it is always on a voluntary basis to the greatest extent possible. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent.

 

Your details on forms, queries and during registration

Further personal data is only collected if you provide it voluntarily, when making an enquiry, for example, or registering with us. Your attention will be drawn to this expressly at the appropriate points before the data is collected. If you provide this personal data to us, we shall only use it to answer your queries, to process contracts concluded with you and for technical administration. Your personal data will only be passed on to third parties or communicated in any other way if this is necessary to process a contract, including, for example, the provision of order details to suppliers, for billing purposes or if you have given your express consent in advance. You have the right to withdraw any consent that you have given at any time, with effect from that point on. To do so, please send an e-mail to info@herweck.de or write to the postal address given below.
We wish to draw your attention to the fact that data transfer over the internet (e.g. in e-mail communication) may not be secure. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Use of the contact details given as a requirement of the legal notice by third parties to send advertising and information materials that have not been expressly requested is hereby expressly prohibited. The operators of the site expressly reserve the right to take legal steps if unsolicited advertising materials, such as spam e-mails, are sent.

Herweck AG is therefore responsible neither for the content, availability, correctness and accuracy of these websites, nor for their offers, links or advertising.
Despite every effort, it is not always possible to identify the origin and content of these websites entirely. As a matter of principle, the content of external websites is not part of the internet presence of Herweck AG unless specific reference is made to it.

 

What data is used for the Herweck newsletter?

When do we delete your data?

Saved personal data is deleted when you withdraw your consent allowing us to save it, if we no longer need it to fulfil the purpose for which it was saved or if saving it is not permitted for other legal reasons.

Data protection policy for the use of Google +1

Collection and provision of information:
You can publish information throughout the world with the Google +1 button. The Google +1 button gives you and other users access to personalised content from Google and our partners. Google saves both the information that you have given +1 to specific content and the information about the page you were viewing when you clicked +1. Your +1 choices can be displayed as references with your profile name and your photo on Google services, such as in search results or on your Google profile, or in other places on websites and advertisements on the internet.
Google records information about your +1 activities to improve Google services for you and others. In order to be able to use the Google +1 button, you need a public Google profile that is visible throughout the world and that must at least include the name selected for the profile. This name is used in all Google services. In many cases, this name can also replace another name that you have used when sharing content via your Google account. The identity of your Google profile may be displayed to users who know your e-mail address or have another piece of information that identifies you.
Use of recorded information:
In addition to the uses explained above, the information provided by you is used in accordance with the applicable Google data protection provisions. Google may publish summarised statistics relating to the +1 activities of users or pass them on to users and partners such as publishers, advertisers or associated websites.
