Every time our website is visited, our system automatically records data and information from the system of the requesting computer.
The following data is collected in this way:
(1) Information on the browser type and version used
(2) The user’s operating system
(3) The user’s IP address
(4) The date and time of access
The data is also stored in our system’s log files. This data is not stored together with the user’s other personal data.
It is necessary for the system to store the IP address temporarily to enable the website to be sent to the user’s computer. For this purpose, the user’s IP address must be stored for the duration of the session.
Storage in log files is carried out to ensure the functionality of the website. We also use the data to optimise the website and to ensure the security of our IT systems. An analysis of the data for marketing purposes is not carried out in this context.
The legal basis for the temporary storage of the data and log files is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
The data will be erased as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose of its collection in accordance with Article 17(1)(a) GDPR. When data is collected to operate a website, this is the case when the relevant session ends.
When data is stored in log files, this is the case after six months at the latest. Extended storage is possible. In this case, users’ IP addresses will be erased or distorted so that assignment to the requesting client is no longer possible.
Recording data to operate the website and storing the data in log files is essential for running the website. Therefore, the user does not have any right to object.
To conclude a contract for an order in the online shop, you must, as the user, provide your personal data. Mandatory details required to process contracts are marked specifically, other details are optional.

The other personal data processed during submission is used to prevent misuse of the contact form and ensure the security of our IT systems.
The legal basis for processing data is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. If the aim of contact is to conclude a contract, Article 6(1)(b) GDPR is also a legal basis for processing.
The data will be erased as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose of its processing in accordance with Article 17(1)(a) GDPR. For personal data from the contact form and that which has been sent by e-mail, this is the case when the conversation with the user ends. The conversation is considered to have ended when it is clear from the circumstances that the matter in hand has been fully clarified.
Additional personal data collected during submission will be erased as soon as the purpose has expired.
As a user, you have the option at any time to withdraw your consent to the processing of personal data in accordance with Article 7(3) GDPR with effect for the future.

To minimise risks, the processing of personal data is justified as part of credit checks for payments on account. By performing a credit check, MEYER-HOSEN AG protects itself against possible payment defaults.
The legal basis for processing personal data is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
The data will be erased as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose of its collection in accordance with Article 17(1)(a) GDPR.

This website uses anonymised Google Analytics, a web analysis service from Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies”—text files stored on your device to enable use of the website to be analysed. The information collected by cookies is usually sent to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
By anonymising your IP address, it is truncated within the Member States of the EU and the European Economic Area. This truncation removes the personal reference to your IP address.
Based on a contract data processing agreement between MEYER-HOSEN AG and Google Inc., Google evaluates website use and website activity based on the information collected and provides other services associated with Internet use. The IP address sent by your browser is not combined with the Google data.
You have the option to prevent cookies being stored on your device by choosing the relevant settings in your browser. By applying this type of settings, however, not all functions of this website can be used in their entirety.

You can recognise the plug-in provider by the mark in the box above the first letter of their name. This allows you to communicate directly with the plug-in provider.

By enabling the plug-in, personal data is sent by you to the respective plug-in provider and stored there.
Data is forwarded irrespective of whether or not you have an account with the plug-in provider and are logged in there. When you are logged in to the plug-in provider, your data we have collected is assigned directly to your account with the plug-in provider. If you select the enabled button and, for example, link the page, the plug-in provider also stores this information in your user account and shares this publicly with your contacts. We recommend logging out regularly after using a social network, particularly before enabling the button, as in this way you can avoid an assignment to your profile with the plug-in provider.
Via the plug-in, we offer you the option to interact with social networks and other users so that we can improve our content and make it more interesting for you as a user.

We store your data sent via the Facebook plug-in.

The right to erasure is not granted in accordance with Article 17(3) GDPR if the processing is necessary
(1) to exercise the right of freedom of expression and information;

(3) for reasons in the public interest in the area of public health in accordance with Article 9(2)(h) and (i) and Article 9(3) GDPR;

(5) to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing vis-à-vis the controller, the controller is obliged in accordance with Article 19 GDPR to inform all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you was disclosed of this rectification or erasure of the data or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or would involve a disproportionate effort.
You have the right vis-à-vis the controller to information on these recipients.
You have the right under Article 22(1) GDPR not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which has legal effects for you or similar significant adverse effects for you. This does not apply if the decision

(2) is permissible under the law of the Union or the Member States to which the controller is subject, and this law provides adequate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests, or
(3) is made with your express consent.
However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data in accordance with Article 9(1) GDPR, unless Article 9(2)(a) or (g) applies and suitable steps to protect rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests have been taken.
In the cases stated in (1) and (3), the controller will take suitable steps to safeguard rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express your own point of view and to contest the decision.
Minors must not transmit any personal data to us without the consent of their legal guardians. As part of our online presence, we do not process any knowingly acquired personal data of minors.
