2. Gathering and storage of personal data and the nature and purpose of its processing

When our website www.butzbach-marking.de is opened, the browser used on your terminal device automatically sends information to our website’s server. This information is saved temporarily in a so-called logfile. The following information is recorded here without your involvement and stored until automated deletion:

• IP address of the computer making the request
• Date and time of access
• Name and URL of the file retrieved
• Website access was gained from (referrer URL)
• Browser used and operating system of your computer, alongside the name of your access provider.

These data are used by us for the following purposes:

• to ensure frictionless connection to our website
• to ensure ease of use of our website
• to evaluate system security and stability, and
• for further administrative purposes.

The legal justification for this data processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 (f) GDPR. Our justified interest results from the data collection purposes listed above. Under no circumstances do we use the data we record to draw conclusions about your person. On top of this, we use cookies and analytics services when you visit our website. For a more detailed explanation of these, see No. 4 and 5 of this data protection declaration.

If you place an order for our goods on our website and conclude a sale contract with us, we will process the data required for the conclusion, execution and completion of such a contract with you, as well as, if need be, for the creation and operation of a customer account. These are generated during the order process and consist of:

• first name, surname, contact
• company name
• billing and delivery address
• email address
• telephone number and fax

Further use of these data takes place in the course of communications with you and processing within our customer management system, catalogue mailing and postal advertising.

The legal justification for this data processing is Art. 6 Para. 1.1 (b) and (f) GDPR, i.e. you provide us the data on the basis of a contractual relationship between you and us and for the purpose of our legitimate interest in the use of your data for internal statistical purposes and to track your interest in our products. We also process your data in order to provide you by post with offers oriented by your actual or presumed interests.
We are also obliged, because of legal requirements in the BGB (German Civil Code), to send an order confirmation to your email address. The legal justification for the processing of your email address to this end is Art. 6 Para. 1.1 (c) GDPR.

The data gathered during contractual processes is stored for the duration of the contract or to the expiry of any legal or (potentially) contractually stipulated warranty rights. Further retention obligations may arise from the current commercial and tax law in force.

2.1 Gathering and storage of personal data in a customer account and the nature and purpose of its processing

Creating a customer account is essentially voluntary and allows you the comfort of not having to re-enter any data. If you register on our website and create a customer account, in addition to the data named above, we will process a password you have chosen yourself for goods ordering. Together with your email address, this allows you access to your customer account. These data are encrypted for storage and are used exclusively for goods ordering.
The legal justification for this data processing is Art. 6 Para. 1.1 (b) GDPR.

If you wish to delete your customer account, contact either us or our data protection officer. You can do this at any time. Please take note, however, that this will not bring about the deletion of data already processed during a previous order.
The deletion of your data takes place after the expiry of the obligatory retention periods laid down for us in commercial and tax law.
The legal justification for data processing here is Art. 6 Para. 1 (c) and (f) GDPR, where our legitimate interest is in the processing of your data for the marketing and advertising purposes described in greater detail above, in point 2.

3. Transfer of data

Transfer of your personal data to third parties for anything other than the purposes listed below does not take place. We only transfer your personal data to third parties if:

• you have given express consent to this as per Art. 6 Para. 1.1 (a) GDPR
• transfer is necessary as per Art. 6 Para. 1.1 (f) GDPR to establish, exercise or defend legal claims and there exists no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest in the non-transfer of your data
• in cases where there is a legal obligation to make such a transfer as per Art. 6 Para. 1.1 (c) GDPR
• and if this is legally permissible and necessary for the performance of contractual obligations with you as per Art. 6 Para. 1.1 (b) GDPR, for example, transfers to shipping providers.

The data processed through cookies are required for the given purposes of safeguarding our legitimate interests and those of third parties as per Art. 6 Para. 1.1 (f) GDPR. Most browsers automatically accept cookies. However, you are able to configure your browser to ensure no cookies are stored on your computer or that notification is given every time a new cookie is placed. Complete deactivation of cookies can, however, prevent you from making use of all the functions of our website.
