As a matter of principle, we process our users’ personal data only to the extent necessary to provide a functioning website and our content and services. Each processing operation is based on one of the legal bases listed in section 3 – that is, your consent, the initiation or performance of a contract, or our legitimate interest. The legal basis that applies in each case is stated in the following sections.

Where we obtain consent for processing operations involving personal data, Art. 6(1)(a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR; in German: Datenschutz-Grundverordnung, DSGVO) serves as the legal basis.

Where the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract, Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

For processing operations necessary for the purposes of a legitimate interest pursued by our company, Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR serves as the legal basis, provided that such interests are not overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject.

This website is hosted by Power-Netz (power-netz.de). When you visit our website, your personal data (e.g. your IP address) is processed on Power-Netz’s servers. The servers are located in Germany.

We use Power-Netz on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in presenting our website reliably and securely.

For further information, please see the Power-Netz privacy policy (German) (opens in a new tab).

Each time our website is accessed, the hosting provider automatically collects information in so-called server log files, which your browser transmits automatically. This comprises:

• IP address of the requesting computer
• Date and time of the request
• Time zone difference from Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
• Content of the request (specific page)
• Access status/HTTP status code
• Amount of data transferred
• Referrer URL (previously visited page)
• Browser and operating system used
• Language and version of the browser software

This data is not combined with other data sources. This data is collected on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimisation of its website.

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, this website uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the browser’s address bar changing from “http://” to “https://” and by the padlock icon in your browser bar.

When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

If you contact us by email, the information you provide, including the contact details you give, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing your enquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not pass this data on without your consent.

The data contained in your email is processed exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) or for the purpose of taking steps prior to entering into a contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR). You may withdraw your consent at any time. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.

The data you send us by email will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, withdraw your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods under tax and commercial law – remain unaffected.

On certain subpages of our website (e.g. under /omr/artikel/...) we provide enquiry forms through which you can request information about our products without obligation. The data entered in the form – depending on the product category, for example company, first and last name, email address, phone number, product selection, desired quantity and delivery date – is used exclusively to process your enquiry and to answer any follow-up questions.

The data is transmitted in encrypted form via HTTPS. It is processed on our server in Germany and delivered to us by email. It is not passed on to third parties.

The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (steps prior to entering into a contract) and Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent), which you give by ticking the privacy confirmation box. You may withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future, for example by email to wizard@wizard-hamburg.de.

Mandatory fields are marked as such in the form. To protect against automated spam submissions, we use a technical honeypot method – no additional personal data is collected in the process.

The data remains with us until you ask us to delete it, withdraw your consent, or the purpose of storage no longer applies. Mandatory statutory retention obligations – in particular under tax and commercial law – remain unaffected.

If you would like to subscribe to the newsletter offered on our website, a sign-up form from our service provider is loaded via a button. Data is transmitted to the service provider only after you click the newsletter button.

We use the rapidmail service (Positive Group Deutschland GmbH, Ingeborg-Krummer-Schroth-Straße 18a, 79106 Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany) to send our newsletter. rapidmail is a service that can be used to organise and analyse the sending of newsletters.

The data you enter for the purpose of receiving the newsletter (e.g. your email address) is stored on rapidmail’s servers.

Newsletter subscription uses the so-called double opt-in procedure. After signing up, you will receive an email asking you to confirm your subscription. This confirmation is necessary so that no one can sign up using someone else’s email address.

The data is processed on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may withdraw your consent at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. The withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing already carried out.

For further information, please see the rapidmail privacy policy (German) (opens in a new tab).

This website uses the fonts “Montserrat” and “Open Sans” for consistent display. The fonts are installed locally on our server. No connection to external servers (e.g. Google) is established in the process.

Our Stanley/Stella page loads an embedded product catalogue from Stanley/Stella SA (Boulevard Industriel 14, 7700 Mouscron, Belgium). When you open this page, a connection to Stanley/Stella’s servers is established, and your IP address is transmitted to the provider.

The catalogue is embedded on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in presenting our partner’s current product collection.

Our website contains links to external websites (e.g. Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, external online shops). When you click on these links, you are redirected to third-party websites. We have no influence over the data collected there or the processing operations carried out there.

We do not embed any social media plugins directly on our website. Data is transmitted to the respective providers only when you click on the links.

Information on the providers’ data protection practices can be found in their respective privacy policies.

This website does not use cookies for tracking or analytics purposes. No marketing cookies, analytics cookies or comparable technologies are used.

Our website itself does not set any cookies. When external content is loaded – the newsletter form after you click the newsletter button (section 9) or the Stanley/Stella catalogue on our Stanley/Stella page (section 11) – the respective providers may use cookies or similar technologies. Where these are strictly necessary for the service you have requested, this is based on § 25(2) no. 2 TDDDG (German Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act); any associated processing of personal data is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

You have the following rights vis-à-vis us with regard to the personal data concerning you:

• Right of access (Art. 15 GDPR) – You may request information about your personal data processed by us.
• Right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR) – You may request the rectification of inaccurate personal data or the completion of your personal data stored by us.
• Right to erasure (Art. 17 GDPR) – You may request the erasure of your personal data stored by us, unless the processing is necessary for exercising the right of freedom of expression, for compliance with a legal obligation or for reasons of public interest.
• Right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR) – You may request the restriction of processing of your personal data.
• Right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR) – You may request that we provide your personal data to you in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.
• Right to object (Art. 21 GDPR) – You may object at any time to the processing of your personal data where the processing is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
• Right to withdraw consent (Art. 7(3) GDPR) – You may withdraw any consent you have given us at any time. This does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if you consider that the processing of your personal data infringes the GDPR.

The supervisory authority competent for us is:
