1. Data Collection
Every web server automatically records access to websites. When you visit our website, our server temporarily logs, for system security purposes, the domain name or IP address (anonymized by omitting the last digits) of the requesting computer, the access date, file name, and URL accessed, the HTTP response code, the referring website, and the number of bytes transferred during the connection. This information is stored anonymously. It is not possible to trace your identity or individual behavior. Additional personal data is not collected unless you explicitly provide it during registration or an order. We handle your data responsibly and in accordance with legal regulations.
2. Use of Data
Computer-related data is stored to track trends and generate statistics. This data is also used to identify and monitor unauthorized access attempts to our web server. We create usage profiles for our website exclusively in an anonymized form, solely to improve user experience and optimize our offerings according to user interests. No personal browsing profiles are created or processed.
We collect, store, and process the personal data you provide only to the extent necessary to process inquiries or orders. All customer data is stored and processed in compliance with applicable data protection laws (BDSG and TDDSG). We do not share your personal data with third parties unless legally required or explicitly authorized by you.
3. Cookies
Cookies are small text files (max. 4 KB) sent by our website to your browser and stored on your computer as an anonymous identifier. They enable functions such as login access, better session management during browsing or shopping, and enhanced support for returning visitors. Without this temporary "buffer storage," certain applications would require re-entering previously submitted data.
A cookie only contains information provided by a server or entered by the user (e.g., username, domain details, path, expiration date, cookie name, and value). They contain purely technical information, no personal data, and cannot access your hard drive.
Our site uses cookies only in exceptional cases! These are stored only for the duration of your session and become invalid when you close your browser. If desired, you can disable cookie storage in your web browser or choose to be prompted before accepting a cookie. However, declining cookies may result in certain pages not displaying correctly or some functions not working properly.
4. Rights
We are happy to provide you with information about the personal data you have shared with us. You have the right to access, correct, block, or delete your stored personal data.
All our employees are bound by the confidentiality obligations under the German Data Protection Act (BDSG).
5. Scope / Links
This privacy policy applies solely to all websites operated by hartwigthaler.de. Our website may contain links ("hyperlinks") to third-party websites. These links are provided because we believe they may be of interest to you. However, we have no control over their structure or content and cannot regulate how these site operators handle your information. Our privacy policy does not extend to external websites. If you have questions, please contact the operators of those sites directly.
6. Updates to this Privacy Policy
This privacy policy is currently valid and dated March 16, 2024. If our website introduces new services or products, changes online procedures, or if internet and IT security technology advances, the updated privacy policy will be published here and will take effect from the date of publication.
