Privacy policy

MWF Technik GmbH & Co. KG operates the website www.mwf-technik.de. The protection of personal data is of great importance to our company. For this reason, we conduct our activities in compliance with all applicable data protection laws. The following explains which data we may collect, how we process and use it, and to whom we may disclose it.

Personal data under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and this privacy policy refers to any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (“data subject”). A natural person is identifiable if they can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or to one or more factors specific to their physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity.

Processing under the GDPR and this privacy policy means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination, or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure, or destruction.

Where we obtain consent from the data subject for processing personal data, Article 6(1)(a) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

Where processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, Article 6(1)(b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures.

Where processing of personal data is necessary to comply with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Article 6(1)(c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person, Article 6(1)(d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

Where processing is necessary for the purposes of a legitimate interest pursued by our company or a third party, and such interests are not overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject, Article 6(1)(f) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Data may be stored beyond this period if required by European or national legislators in EU regulations, laws, or other provisions to which the controller is subject. Data will also be blocked or deleted when a legally prescribed retention period expires, unless further storage is required for the conclusion or performance of a contract.
