Data protection is a matter of trust and we greatly value your trust. We respect your privacy. We are committed to safeguarding and collecting, processing and using your personal data solely in compliance with legal regulations. To make you visit to our website a safe one, we strictly abide by all applicable legal regulations when processing your personal data. This privacy policy explains how we collect and use data.
By accepting the following privacy policy, you agree to the collection, processing and use of your personal information by Würth Industrie Service GmbH und Co. KG (“Würth” in the following) in line with all data protection laws and the following provisions.
The office responsible for the collection, processing and use of your personal data as defined under the German Data Protection Act is Würth Industrie Service GmbH & Co. KG, Industriepark Würth, Drillberg, 97980 Bad Mergentheim
Insofar as you wish to revoke the collection, processing or use of your data by Würth in accordance with these data protection provisions, you are kindly asked to send this revocation by e-mail, fax or letter to the following contact address:
Personal data is considered to be details concerning the material or personal circumstances of a specific or specifiable natural person. The details concerned include your name, your customer number, your telephone number and your address as well as all account data you communicate to us upon the registration and opening of your customer account. Statistical data such as that we collect from visits to our online shop and cannot be connected directly with your person is not included. These statistics include for example details of those pages in our shop that are particularly popular or of the number of users visiting specific pages of the Würth online shop.
For each customer appropriately registering with us, we set up password-protected, direct access to his/her data records (customer account) saved by us. You undertake to treat the personal access data in the strictest confidence and not to make it accessible to unauthorized third parties. We cannot assume any liability for the misuse of passwords unless we are responsible for the misuse concerned.
Data protection is very important to us. We therefore comply strictly with the statutory provisions set out under the German Data Protection Act and Telemedia Act when collecting, processing and using your personal data. We collect, save and process your data for the overall handling of your purchase including any subsequent warranties, for our service provision, technical administration and our own marketing purposes. Your personal data is only forwarded to third parties or otherwise transmitted if this is required for the purpose of contract processing or accounting or has been approved in advance by you. As part of order processing activities, for example, the service providers used by us in this connection (such as forwarders, logistical specialists, banks) are given the necessary data for ordering and order processing purposes. The data thus forwarded may only be used by our service providers for fulfilling their remit. No other use of the information is permitted nor is such use made by any of the service providers we appoint..
In addition to the processing of your data for handling your purchase from Würth, we also use your data to communicate with you about your orders, specific products or marketing campaigns and to send you by e-mail product and service recommendations that might interest you. Moreover, we also use this data to inform you by post about such products and services as may be of interest to you.
I herewith give my consent that Würth processes and uses my personal data for its own advertising purposes in order to send marketing information to me by e-mail and post.
You may revoke your consent to the use of your personal data for advertising purposes at any time without incurring any costs other than those incurred for transmission purposes in accordance with the basic tariffs applicable. Notification in text form (e.g. e-mail, fax, and letter) suffices for this.
Insofar as you no longer wish to receive product recommendations or any advertising communications at all from us, you can revoke your consent to this at any time without incurring any costs other than those incurred for transmission purposes in accordance with the basic tariffs applicable. Notification in text form (e.g. e-mail, fax, and letter) suffices for this. There is, of course, a de-registration link in each product recommendation e-mail, too.
I herewith give my consent that Würth uses the data communicated by me and the stored information on my customer account as well as pseudonymized usage data in order to present personalized advertising and/or special offers and services to me.
