Data protection
On May 25, 2018, the GDPR (EU General Data Protection Regulation) came into force. This regulation aims to improve data protection for consumers. The previous Federal Data Protection Act has been revised and now supplements the GDPR with national regulations. The GDPR regulates how companies handle consumers' personal data. Personal data is all information that allows us to identify you personally. So, among other things, name, address, date of birth, telephone number, location, identification numbers, online identifiers, and even special characteristics. But the IP address also falls under this category. As do test results and certificates.
The GDPR as the Official Journal of the European Union in the form of a PDF file can be found here:
On this page we inform you about the purpose, scope, legal basis and storage period of your personal data. We will also inform you about the rights you now have under the GDPR against companies that collect, store and process your personal data.
Why do we need your personal data? / Purpose and scope
We only ask for your personal data to the extent that it is necessary for the purpose. As a company, we need your personal data, such as name, address, email address and telephone number, in order to be able to contact you. We now need your consent to do this. For example, at the end of our contact form in the Contact menu item you will find such a declaration of consent.
For declarations of consent from people under the age of 16, which can occur, for example, when applying for an internship or training position, we also require the consent of the legal guardian.
You can revoke your consent at any time, for example by sending an email to datenschutz@detert-edelstahl.de.
If you revoke your consent to data processing or object to the use of your personal data, this will not affect the lawfulness of the processing based on your consent before its revocation.
Your data is collected, stored and processed by us.
We need your personal data to process
- Requests
- Offered
- Invoice creation
- Orders
- Dunning
- Applications
- Employment and training contracts
- Emails
- Direct mail
- other correspondence
What right do we have to collect your data? / Legal basis
Data collection and data processing is based on Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter b) GDPR.
The processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party or in order to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract.
How long do we store your personal data? / storage period
We will only store your personal data for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which it is processed.
However, there are commercial and tax law retention periods for many data. For invoices, for example, this is 10 years. Likewise, contract data must be retained with regard to any warranty claims for the duration of the warranty period.

Is further personal data collected when you visit our website? / Purpose and scope
You will also find embedded YouTube videos on our website. YouTube is a service provided by Google Inc. For the YouTube videos embedded on our website, we have activated the “extended data protection mode” offered by YouTube. According to YouTube, this means that if the YouTube option is activated, no information about visitors to our website is stored unless they watch the video. YouTube can probably be understood to mean that there is no tracking, at least before you click on the video.
The moment you access a video embedded with us, your IP address will be transferred to a Google Inc. server in the USA and stored there. We have no influence on this data transfer.
Under the menu item Directions we use another service from Google Inc. in the form of an embedded map, namely Google Maps. To use the functions of Google Maps, your IP address will be transferred to a Google Inc. server in the USA and stored there. We have no influence on this data transfer.
Information about data protection on YouTube and Google Maps can be found in the privacy policy of Google Inc.
Google Inc.'s privacy policy, which provides information about the data collected, can be found here: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de&gl=de

What right does Google Inc. have to collect your data? / Legal basis
The legal basis for the collection of your above-mentioned data by Google Inc. is the legitimate interest according to Art. 6 Para. 1 Letter f) GDPR.
