ESSMANN on data protection
We take the protection of personal details very seriously. Which is why our activities comply with applicable regulations governing the protection of personal details and data security. Read on to discover which information we may collect, how we handle such information and whom we might provide it to.
Personal details
Our web sites do not record any personal details at all (e.g. name, address, Telefon number or e-mail address) unless you voluntarily provide such information (e.g. by registering, when you order a catalogue) or have given your consent or we are permitted to do so by the laws governing the protection of your privacy.
Communication or utilisation details
When you use telecommunication services to access our web sites, the communication details (e.g. Internet Protocol address) and/or utilisation information (e.g. information about the start and duration of utilisation and the telecommunication services you use) are generated automatically by technical systems. These may produce conclusions about personal details. Data protection laws govern any registration, processing and utilisation of your communication and utilisation details that may be necessary.
Automatic registration of non-personal details
Sometimes when you access our web sites (without registration), information is collected that is not assigned to any specific individual (e.g. the internet browser and operating system used; domain name of the web site last visited; number of hits; average time spent on the web site; pages viewed). This information is used both by ourselves and our subsidiary companies to raise the appeal of our web sites and to improve the performance capabilities and content of the same.
"Cookies" - Information that is stored automatically on your computer
When you visit our web sites, we may file information on your computer in the shape of a "Cookie" to enable automatic recognition on your next visit. Cookies enable us, for example, to match our web site content to your interests or to store your password so that you do not have to re-enter it each time. If you do not want us to recognise your computer, please adjust your browser settings to ensure that cookies are deleted from your hard drive, all cookies are blocked, or you are warned before a cookie is stored.
Children
ESSMANN will not consciously collect personal details relating to children without explicitly giving notification that such details should only be transmitted with parental consent if stipulated by applicable law. We will only ever utilise or forward personal details relating to children to the extent permitted by law, in order to obtain legally stipulated parental consent or to protect children. In this respect, the term "Child/Children" is applied in line with nationally applicable legal provisions and cultural customs.
Security
ESSMANN implements technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal details from being unintentionally or illegally deleted, amended or lost and to secure them against unauthorised provision to third parties or unauthorised access.
Links to other web sites
ESSMANN web sites contain links to other web sites. ESSMANN cannot be held liable for the data protection policies or content of these other web sites.
Queries and comments
ESSMANN will respond to all reasonable requests to inspect and, if necessary, correct, amend or delete personal details. Please contact us using the form in the "Contact" section if you have any queries or comments relating to this privacy policy. We constantly update our privacy policy as internet development progresses. Changes will be notified promptly on this page. We therefore recommend that you visit this page regularly to ensure that you are informed about the latest status of our privacy policy.
