We are aware that the security of your private information from the use of our
website is an important concern. We take the protection of your personal data
very seriously. Therefore we would like you to know what data we maintain and
what data we discard. With this privacy statement, we would like to inform you
about our privacy measures.Collection of Data
You are not required to provide personal information as a condition of using
our site, except as may be necessary to provide you a product or service at your
request. When you use our website, we store data for various administrative
purposes. This data may include the name of your Internet service provider, the
website that you used to link to our site, the websites that you visit from our
site and your IP-Address. This data could possibly lead to your identification,
but we do not use it to do so. We do use the data from time to time for
statistical purposes, but maintain the anonymity of each individual user so that
the person cannot be identified. In cases when personal data is provided to
others to provide you products or services you have requested, or for other
purposes you have authorized, we rely on technical and organizational means to
assure that applicable data privacy regulations are followed.
Collection and processing of personal data
We collect personal data only when you provide it to us, through
registration, completion of forms or e-mails, as part of an order for products
or services, inquiries or requests about materials being ordered and similar
situations in which you have chosen to provide the information to us.
The database and its contents remain at our company or stay with third
parties acting on our behalf and responsible to us. Except as otherwise
described in the “Purposes of Use” section below, your personal data will not be
passed on by us or by those acting on our behalf for use by third parties in any
form whatsoever, unless we have obtained your consent or are legally required to
do so.
Some of this data may be stored or processed at computers located in
jurisdictions other than the jurisdiction in which you live and whose data
protection laws may differ.
Purposes of Use
The data we collect will be used for the purpose of supplying you with the
requested products or services and as may otherwise be permitted by law. On
certain websites, where you submit personal data, you may be asked to indicate
your preferences as to whether or not you wish to receive information and/or
promotional materials about our company and its products or services or about
third parties with whom we have strategic business relationships and their
products and services. We will respect any such preferences as indicated and you
will have the ability to change such preference according to the "Right of
Cancellation" section below.
Right of Access and Correction
You have the right to review and amend any personal data stored in our system
if you believe it may be out of date or incorrect. Just send an e-mail to the
address given in the Imprint for this website.

Use of Cookies
In some websites, so-called Cookies are used in order for us to improve the
efficiency of your individual use of the website. Cookies are identifiers that
our web-server could send to your computer in order to identify the computer
being used for the duration of the session. Most browsers are set up to accept
these Cookies automatically. In addition, you can deactivate the storing of
cookies or adjust your browser to inform you before the Cookie is stored on your

Security
Where indicated, we use the Secure Socket Layer protocol (SSL protocol for
short) to help ensure the secure transmission of your details to the server by
encrypting customers’ details transmitted on the Internet.
Children
We recognize the importance of protecting children’s privacy. Without the
prior, verifiable consent of the legal representative of a child that we know to
be under the age of 13, information obtained online from individuals we know to
be under 13 years old will only be used by us to respond directly to the child's
request and to seek the consent of such child's legal representative, and will
not be used for other purposes. Such legal representative has the right, upon
request, to view the information provided by the child and/or to require that it
be deleted. Any personally identifiable information about the child will be
deleted if consent from the child's legal representative is not obtained.
Contacts
Please use the contact information identified in the Imprint for this website
with any problems, questions or suggestions that you may have. The constant
development of the Internet requires occasional adjustments to our privacy
statement. We retain the right to make changes when necessary.
