We protect your privacy and your private data. We collect, process and use your personal data in accordance with the content of this Privacy Statement as well as the applicable European and German provisions of the Data Protection Act.

This Privacy Statement governs the extent to which we collect, process and use personal data about you. We therefore request you to read it carefully in the following.

This statement concerning the privacy of data applies solely to our own Internet presence. The web pages of this site may contain links to third-party websites. Our Privacy Statement does not extend to these web pages. When you leave our website, it is recommended that you read the privacy statement of each website carefully that collects personally identifiable information.

By agreeing to the following Privacy Statement, you consent to us collecting, processing and using your personal data in compliance with the applicable data protection provisions and the following regulations.

1 Collection of data

1.1 Informative use of the website

Every time you access a page of our website and every time a file is accessed, access data about this procedure is stored in a log file on the respective server.

These are in particular the following information:

date and time of the request
time zone difference to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
content of the request (specific page)
access status/HTTP status code
the amount of data
the requesting website
the browser
operating system and its interface
language and version of the browser software
IP address

The IP address of your computer is stored only for the time that you use the website and then immediately deleted or anonymised by curtailment. We collect the aforementioned data as this is technically necessary for us to be able to show you our website and to ensure the stability and security of the website. The legal basis for this is Article 6 paragraph 1 clause 1 point f) GDPR.

1.2 Provision of personal data

Insofar as you use our website other than just for information purposes, you generally need to specify other personal data, e.g. last name, date of birth, address, mailing address or telephone number, which we use to provide the respective services. The corresponding personal data are collected by us only if this is permitted by law (e.g. for the execution of a contract, Article 6 paragraph 1 clause 1 point b) GDPR, or in the case of a legitimate interest, Article 6 paragraph 1 clause 1 point f) GDPR, or you consent to the collection of data, Article 6 paragraph 1 clause 1 point a) GDPR.
You may revoke your consent given to process your personal data at any time. A corresponding revocation has a direct influence on the admissibility of processing of your personal data, as soon as this has been given to us.
If the processing of your personal data is based on a balance of interests, you may object to the processing. If you exercise your right of objection, we kindly ask you to explain the reasons why we should not process your personal data. If your objection is justified, we will review the facts and stop and/or adjust the data processing or inform you of compelling legitimate reasons why we continue the processing.
We will delete your personal information as soon as it is no longer necessary for the respective purpose. It may happen that personal data is retained for the time in which claims can be asserted against us (e.g. statutory limitation period of three or thirty years). In addition, we are required by law to save certain data due to our obligations to provide evidence and keep records, including those according the German Commercial Code, the German Tax Code or the Money Laundering Act. The storage periods may be up to ten years.

1.2.1 Data for the newsletter service

The newsletter service will inform you by email or by post about our own range of services. Furthermore, you can also receive information about offers from specific manufacturers by email or post. For this purpose, your consent is necessary.
The so-called double opt-in procedure is used for sending newsletters, i.e. you will not receive a newsletter until you have explicitly confirmed that the newsletter service is to be activated. You will then receive a confirmation email and you will be asked to confirm that you wish to receive newsletters by clicking on a link in this email.
If you do not confirm the registration within 24 hours, we will immediately block your information and delete it automatically after one month. In addition, we only store your IP address and the time of registration and confirmation in order to be able to prove your registration and the possibility to clarify misuse of your data.
You only have to enter your email address in order to receive newsletters. The provision of further data is voluntary.
We will only save your email address for the purpose of sending our newsletter. The legal basis for this is Article 6 paragraph 1 clause 1 point a) GDPR.
If you no longer wish to receive a newsletter later on, you can revoke your consent at any time and cancel your subscription to the newsletter. A message in text form to the contact data mentioned (e.g. email, letter) is sufficient for this. Of course, an unsubscribe link is also to be found in every newsletter via email.

1.2.2 User account

When setting up an account to use our services, e.g. to participate in promotions of the manufacturers associated with us, your data may be stored permanently and/or for the period of a promotion in the user database. If you want to use the services, you must provide personal data in order to conclude the contract. The mandatory information required for the use of the services (e.g. name, email address, date of birth, telephone number) are marked accordingly and will be processed for this purpose. The legal basis for this can be found in Article 6 paragraph 1 clause 1 point b) GDPR.
You are bound to treat the personal access data confidentially and not to make it accessible to unauthorised third parties. We cannot accept any liability for abuse of passwords, unless we are responsible for such improper use. You should notify us immediately if you are concerned that a third party has become aware of your password or is using the password in an unauthorised way or is likely to do so. You are responsible for ensuring that your information is accurate and complete and that you notify us of any changes to the information you have provided. You can view and update any information you have provided to us, as well as your account settings in the ‘My User Account’ section of the website. After you have finished communicating with MMW Services, you should log out and close the browser window, especially if you are sharing the computer with other people.
In order to prevent violating the conditions of participation in promotions and/or to detect fraud, various algorithms (mathematical-statistical methods) are used. The results of the evaluations will be checked by us again and assessed accordingly. A transfer of personal data to third parties does not take place in this context.
If you participate in the marketing survey of the respective manufacturers during the registration process, this data will not be stored on a personal basis.
Storage of the data provided as part of registration can be revoked at any time. The data provided and your entire user account can always be deleted in the customer area.
Due to commercial and tax regulations, we are obliged to save your address, payment and order data for a period of at least 10 years. However, after 3 years after placing an order, we restrict the use of the relevant data, with the consequence that they may only be used to comply with legal obligations.

1.2.3 Data transmission by business partners

In case we receive personal data from third parties (e.g. business partners), for example, for processing promotions, these will also only be used in compliance with the data protection laws and this privacy policy.

The legal basis is Article 6 paragraph 1 clause 1 point b) and point f) GDPR.

If you contact us via the contact form on our website or by email or fax, the information you provide will be stored and processed in order to handle the request, as well as in the case that follow-up questions should arise.
