The portal informs in the internal area about time limits and additional services, such as copyright, marketability testing, ecodesign (ErP/EuP), CE, RoHS solutions and REACh. The data to be collected by us are divided into inventory data and usage data. In this context, inventory data are all data that we need from you to fulfil the purpose of the contract, such as: First name, surname, email address, residential or postal address, telephone number and other data and information necessary to fulfil the purpose of the contract.

If it is necessary to transfer the personal data communicated to us to third countries, this will only take place if you have given us your explicit consent to this end in advance. In this case, we cannot ensure an adequate level of data protection; this concerns the countries of Cyprus, Turkey, Monaco and Serbia, for instance.

The duration of the data storage of the various personal data depends on the retention periods which we ourselves have to observe due to legal regulations - for example in relation to public authorities.

If a transfer to third parties takes place, the data may be anonymised beforehand if required by law so that they can no longer be assigned to a specific person. For example, this is done for research or statistical purposes. The same applies to the use of data to improve the Internet services integrated into our website.
