PRIVACY POLICY

We take the protection of your personal data very seriously. For this reason, we naturally always handle your personal data in accordance with statutory data protection regulations. MARTOR KG have appointed an external qualified and trustworthy data protection controller towards this end. The UIMC Dr. Voßbein GmbH & Co KG has been commissioned to exercise the relevant external duties.

In the text below, our aim is to inform you about the processing of your personal data.

Collection and Processing of Personal Data
As a general principle, you can benefit from our online services without disclosing your identity. If we ask for personal data (such as a name, address or email address) on our website – for example within contact forms or during the subscription or registration process – this is done on a voluntary basis. We use such information for our own business purposes (such as shipping of requested materials/information).

If you have any questions, we offer you the opportunity to contact us using a form provided on the website. There, the data marked as obligatory fields are necessary for allocating and responding to the enquiry. Any further details can be provided voluntarily. Data processing, undertaken in order to facilitate your making contact with us, is carried out in  accordance with Article 6, paragraph 1, sentence 1, point a of the GDPR on the basis of your voluntarily given consent.

The personal data we collect when you use the contact form will be deleted after we have processed your enquiry and after expiry of any retention obligations under tax and commercial law. For newsletter subscriptions, your data will be retained until you unsubscribe from the newsletter.

Any consent given, for example, for receiving a newsletter or other interesting information from our company, can always be revoked with effect for the future without having to state any reason. Revocation is possible by using the contact form above or the channels mentioned in this mailing. To unsubscribe from the newsletter, send an email to datenschutz@martor.de.

Competitions
Participation in one of our competitions is separate from any other data processing carried out by us. Participation in a competition is voluntary. We only process the data that we require from you for the purposes of the competition. The data will then be deleted provided that you do not have any other contractual relationship with us. Any queries about competitions can be sent to datenschutz@martor.de.

Google Maps is operated by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. These web pages have been accordingl indicated for you.

Social media

YouTube
There are videos on our website for marketing purposes. The videos are operated by YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. When you watch a YouTube video, a connection is established to the YouTube servers. In the process, the YouTube server is informed of your IP address and which of our pages you have visited, provided you have given us your consent to the collection and transmission of your personal data in accordance with Article 6, paragraph 1, sentence 1, point a of the GDPR. This happens regardless of whether you have a YouTube user account or not. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you also enable YouTube to assign your surfing behaviour directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account. YouTube may transfer the processed information to third parties, e.g. US authorities, if this is required by law or if third parties process this data on behalf of YouTube. Further information on the handling of user data can be found in YouTube's privacy policy at: policies.google.com/privacy [external page].

LinkedIn
Our website links to the LinkedIn website. The operator of the pages is LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland. Rather than using plug-ins, we only link to LinkedIn. Your personal data is therefore not automatically transmitted to LinkedIn when you visit our website. By linking, LinkedIn only processes your personal data when you actively click on the LinkedIn button. LinkedIn may transfer the processed information to third parties, e.g. US authorities, if this is required by law or if third parties process this data on behalf of LinkedIn. We have no influence on the type and scope of your personal data processed by LinkedIn.

For more information on how we handle your data, please see LinkedIn's privacy policy at: www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy [external page].

XING
This website links to the XING website. The website is operated by XING AG, Dammtorstraße 29-32, 20354 Hamburg, Germany. Rather than using plug-ins, we only link to XING. This means that your personal data is not automatically transmitted to XING when you visit our website. With just a link, XING only processes your personal data when you actively click on the XING button. However, if you are logged into your XING account when you visit our website, XING will process your personal data. We have no influence on the type and scope of your personal data that is processed by XING.

For more information on how your data is handled, please refer to XING's privacy policy at: privacy.xing.com/en/privacy-policy [external page].

Disclosure of data
As a matter of principle, disclosure to third parties, for commercial or non-commercial purposes, will not take place without your express agreement. We pass on your personal data to third parties only when this is legally permissible [such as on the basis of Article 6 of the GDPR] and/or necessary. To some degree, we utilise service providers for legally stipulated commissioned data processing; for example, the website is hosted by Netigo GmbH Düsseldorf and maintained by Netigo GmbH Düsseldorf. In this context, we retain full responsibility for the processing of the data.

Depending on the place where the enquirer is located, our services may be provided locally via our relevant local sales partner. To facilitate this, the data required for the handling of the contact request are passed to the responsible sales partner. Depending on the location of the enquirer, data may also be shared in other countries (including the United States and other countries outside the EU/EEA).

Liability for our own content
The content of these web pages has been prepared with the utmost care. However, we cannot accept any responsibility with regard to whether the content is accurate, complete or up to date. As service providers, we are responsible for our own web page content in accordance with general legislation.

Liability for links (content of external providers)
Our own web page content must be distinguished from cross-references (“links”) to web page content maintained by other providers. We have no influence over such content; the relevant provider or operator is always responsible for the content of the web pages we link to.

Rights of data subjects
We hereby inform you that, as per Articles 15 et seq. of the GDPR, you have, under the conditions specified therein, the right in your dealings with us to information about the applicable personal data and to rectification or erasure or restriction of processing or a right to object to such processing as well as the right to data portability. As per Article 77 of the GDPR, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if you believe that the processing of the personal data concerning you is in breach of this regulation. If the processing is based on Article 6, paragraph 1, point a of the GDPR or Article 9, paragraph 2, point a of the GDPR (consent), then you also have the right to withdraw your consent at any time without affecting the legitimacy of the processing that has taken place on the basis of that consent up to the time of withdrawal.

Changes to our data protection conditions
We reserve the right to adapt this data protection policy from time to time so that it fulfils the latest statutory requirements or in order to reflect changes to our services within the data protection policy, such as when introducing new services. Your subsequent website access will then be subject to the new data protection policy.

Questions
In case you have any questions with regard to the use and processing of your personal data, you may approach our data protection controller directly, in response to which he and his team can assist you in respect of requests for information, applications or complaints.
