We welcome your visit to our website and your interest in our business and our products. The protection of your privacy during the processing of personal data is an important issue for us, as is the security of all business data; we take these issues into account in our business processes. We process personal data obtained during your visit to our website both confidentially and always in accordance with statutory requirements. Data protection and information security form part of our corporate policy. The website www.mapal.com is provided by Mapal Dr. Kress KG (referred to in the following as Mapal). MAPAL websites may contain links to websites run by other providers not covered by this data privacy statement.
Personal data are those items of data that make it possible to identify you. Here the issue is not whether it is possible to identify you based on a single piece of information. The more information and data that can be combined, the more accurately the person can be identified. Personal data include, e.g., the name, address, age, e-mail address and telephone number of a Person.
MAPAL collects, processes and saves your personal data only if these actions are permitted by statutory regulations or you have given your consent. We obtain these data in two ways: either you provide the data to us or we collect the data during the utilisation of our services.
As a rule you can use our website without the need to provide your personal information to us directly. For some services we will ask for your personal data to be able to process the related service quickly and in a user-friendly manner, or to be able to offer the service at all. In the section "Individual services" you will find detailed information on all services provided by Mapal on this website.
To evaluate the system security and system stability.
The legal basis for the processing of the data is art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest stems from the purposes stated above for collecting the data. Under no circumstances do we use the data collected to identify you.
In principle, we do not disclose personal data to third parties. If in a specific case, data are provided to a third party, you will find corresponding indications in this data privacy statement. By means of corresponding measures and regular checks, we ensure the data we have collected cannot be viewed or accessed externally by third parties.
