General Information about the Handling of Personal Data
You can visit our website without entering personal data. Whenever you access our website, user data, such as date and time of access, name of the accessed page, transmitted data volume and provider, is transmitted through the Internet browser and saved in so-called server log files. This data cannot be assigned to a particular person and serves exclusively to ensure an undisturbed operation of our website and improvement of our services.
Personal data is collected when you share it with us freely as part of a contract or by opening a customer account. Which data is collected is evident from the respective forms. You can delete your customer account at any time if you send us a note to the contact information noted below. We save and use the data you share with us to execute our contract. After our contract is fulfilled or your customer account is deleted, your data is blocked out of consideration for the retention periods outlined in tax and commercial law, and thereafter deleted, as long as you haven't explicitly agreed to a continued use of your data or we reserved the right to a continued data usage as allowed by law, which we will explain in detail below.
During the process of establishing contact with us (e.g. per contact form or email), personal data will be collected. Which data is collected is evident from the respective contact form. This data is saved and used exclusively for the purpose of responding to your request and for the related technical administration of this contact. After the request has been processed and completed, your data will be deleted if this is what you want us to do and the deletion is not in conflict with a statutory retention period.
In addition, personal data is collected when you subscribe to our e-mail newsletter. This data will be used for our own promotional purposes (e-mail newsletter) if you gave your explicit consent: "I give my consent to receive periodic information on product assortment and sales promotions from artprotech via e-mail. I can withdraw my consent at any time.". You can unsubscribe from our e-mail newsletter at any time by using the link in the newsletter or sending us a note. After you unsubscribe, your e-mail address will be deleted at once from our newsletter distribution list.
Sharing of Personal Data
The personal data we have collected might be shared with the transportation company that is charged with the delivery of your order, if it is necessary for the delivery of the goods. For the purpose of processing payments, we share your payment information with the authorised credit institution.
