Wilke Technology takes the protection of your personal data very seriously. We process personal data collected during visits to our websites in compliance with the applicable data protection regulations. Your data will neither be published by us nor passed on to third parties without authorization. In the following, we would therefore like to inform you in detail about which data is collected when you visit our website and use our offers there and how it is processed or used by us in the following, as well as which accompanying protective measures we have also taken in technical and organizational terms. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

0. responsible person/service provider and data protection officer

The responsible party in the sense of the Basic Data Protection Regulation (DS-GVO) and the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and at the same time the service provider in the sense of the Telemedia Act (TMG) is Wilke Technology GmbH. see our imprint

1. usage data for accesses from the Internet

When you visit our web pages, our web servers temporarily store data about each individual access to our pages in a log file for statistical purposes. The following data is collected and stored until automated deletion:

- IP address of the requesting computer
- Date and time of access
- Name and URL of the retrieved file
- Amount of data transferred
- Message whether the retrieval was successful
- Recognition data of the browser and operating system used
- Web page from which the access is made
- Name of your Internet access provider

This data is processed for the purpose of enabling the use of the website (connection establishment), system security, technical administration of the network infrastructure and optimization of the Internet offering. We only store the IP address for the duration of your visit and, insofar as necessary for the recognition, limitation or elimination of faults or errors in our Internet presence, for a maximum of 7 days; no personal evaluation takes place. Personal data will not be processed beyond the aforementioned cases, unless you expressly consent to further processing.

The legal basis for this data processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO (legitimate interests of the controller). The above reasons also constitute the legitimate interest for data processing according to Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO.

The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data is mandatory for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no possibility of objection on the part of the user.

2. usage data when using the store system

For the use of the store system, whether with or without prior registration, we collect and process the following data:

- Username (for registration only)
- ID/password (only for registration)
- Salutation (Mr/Mrs) (for registration only)
- First and last name
- complete address *
- Phone number
- Sales tax identification number *
- Email address

(*) usually company-related data

When registering/ordering, you can also voluntarily enter a company name and, only when ordering, a different delivery address, textual comments and an order number.

We cannot process your order without this information. The processing of personal data takes place on the occasion of your request to us and is necessary for the stated purposes for the processing of your order and for the fulfillment of obligations arising from the underlying contract.

The registration/order serves the fulfillment of the contract of which you or your company is a party or the implementation of pre-contractual measures; the legal basis for the processing of the data is therefore Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO.

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected.

This is the case for the data collected during the registration process when the registration on our website is cancelled or modified. This is the case when the data is no longer required for the performance of the contract. Even after the conclusion or fulfillment of the contract, there may be a need to store personal data of the contractual partner in order to comply with contractual or legal obligations.

If you register, you cannot delete your user account independently. If you want to delete your account, you can send us a message via a contact form and we will delete your profile immediately. You can have the data stored about you changed at any time.

If the data is required for the fulfillment of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, early deletion of the data is only possible insofar as contractual or legal obligations do not prevent deletion.

3. use and disclosure of personal data

Regarding "1. usage data for accesses from the Internet":
Any use of your personal data will only be for the purposes stated and to the extent necessary to achieve these purposes. Personal data will only be transferred to state institutions and authorities within the framework of mandatory national legal provisions or if the transfer is necessary for legal or criminal prosecution in the event of attacks on our network infrastructure. Data will not be passed on to third parties for other purposes.

Regarding "2. usage data when using the store system":
As a matter of principle, your personal data will not be transferred to third parties. Exceptions to this only apply if this is necessary for the processing of contractual relationships with you or the company. This includes in particular the transfer to service providers commissioned by us (so-called order processors) or other third parties whose activities are necessary for the execution of the contract (e.g. shipping companies or financial service providers). The data passed on may be used by the third parties exclusively for the purposes stated.

4. consent to further use

The use of certain offers on our website, such as newsletters or forums, requires prior registration and further processing of personal data, such as longer-term storage of e-mail addresses, user IDs and passwords. Such data is only used if you have transmitted it to us and consented to its use in advance.

The legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO if the user has given his consent.

The user has the possibility to revoke his consent to the processing of personal data at any time.

This data is deleted when you close your browser. If, in exceptional cases, we also want to store personal data in a cookie, such as a user ID, you will be specifically informed of this. Of course, you can also view our web pages without cookies. However, most browsers accept cookies automatically. You can prevent cookies from being stored by specifying this in your browser settings. If you do not accept cookies, this may lead to functional restrictions of our offers.

The legal basis for the processing of personal data using cookies is Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO. In the aforementioned purposes also lies our legitimate interest in the processing of personal data according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.

6. newsletter

To subscribe to a Wilke Technology newsletter service, we need at least your e-mail address to which the newsletter should be sent. Further information is voluntary and will be used to address you personally and to clarify queries regarding the e-mail address. In the case of postal delivery, we require your address data. As a rule, we use the double opt-in procedure for sending the newsletter. This means that we will only send you newsletters if you confirm your registration after providing us with your e-mail address via an e-mail sent by us and a link contained therein. This is to ensure that only you can register with the newsletter service as a user of the e-mail address provided. Your confirmation must be made promptly after we send the e-mail, otherwise your registration and e-mail address will be deleted from our database. Until you confirm, our newsletter service will not accept any further registrations under this e-mail address. The e-mail address will not be transmitted to third parties.

You can cancel a newsletter subscribed with us at any time. To do so, you can either send us an e-mail or use a link at the end of the newsletter to cancel.

The legal basis for the processing of data after registration to the newsletter by the user is the consent of the user, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO.

7. contact forms and e-mail contact

You can contact us at any time with questions or suggestions via contact forms. In order to answer your questions or provide you with feedback, we need the following information: Salutation, first and last name, company name, telephone, and your email address. The data will be transmitted via an encrypted connection (SSL/TLS). We use this data exclusively for the above-mentioned purposes.

Alternatively, it is possible to contact us via the e-mail address provided. In this case, the personal data of the user transmitted with the e-mail will be stored.

In this context, the data will not be passed on to third parties. The data is used exclusively for the processing of the conversation.

The legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.

If the contact aims at the conclusion of a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. b DSGVO.

The processing of personal data from the input mask serves us solely to process the contact. In the case of contact by e-mail, this also constitutes the necessary legitimate interest in processing the data.

The other personal data processed during the submission process are used to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. For the personal data from the input mask of the contact form and those sent by e-mail, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended. The conversation is ended when it is clear from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified.

The additional personal data collected during the sending process will be deleted after a period of seven days at the latest.
