Access rate will not be used for the creation of individual user profiles, nor be passed onto third parties, and will be erased after 90 days at the latest.
3.3. Use of IP addresses
Each time our homepage is accessed, Häfele uses the client IP address to determine the country from where the access is made, in order to route the requesting party to the specific Häfele homepage of the relevant country. This data is not used further, with the exception of the storage of access data, and creation of log files described under No. 3.2.
3.4. Contact form
If there is an option for entering personal or business information on this website, the information is always entered voluntarily. Information required to perform the desired operation is designated with an asterisk ‘*’. If you provide us with personal or business information via the contact forms, we will only use it for the respective intended purpose. Your consent constitutes the legal basis for this (Art. 6 (1a) GDPR). Data transfers are encrypted using SSL or TLS technology in order to prevent the unauthorised access of your personal data by third parties.
3.5. Supplier portal

The data will be stored for the duration of the registration, for the purpose of performing the contract and in order to fulfil statutory obligations. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1 a and b) GDPR. You may cancel your registration at any time. In that case, your access will be blocked immediately and erased upon the expiry of the statutory retention obligations.
3.6. Chat function
If you use the website’s chat function to contact the customer service, various information will be communicated to the customer service when initialising the chat (Art. 6 (1 a) GDPR). This information includes the website Help function invoked by you, and your browser and operating system versions.

We have integrated Google Maps – a service provided by Google LLC – into our website. (“Google”), Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, as the third-party provider. When you visit the website, the third-party provider receives the information that you have retrieved the relevant sub-pages of our website. Furthermore, the data described in No. 3.3 of his notice will be transferred. This takes place regardless of whether this third-party provider provides a user account which you have logged into, or if no user account exists. If you are logged into the plug-in provider, this data will be directly correlated with your user account. If you do not wish the plug-in provider to make the correlation with your profile, you need to log out before activating the button.
Google stores this data for user profiles where relevant, and it uses the data for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or for the appropriate design of its website.

3.14. Social Media Plug-ins
Use of Facebook and Twitter plug-ins on the Social Media page
If you call up the Social Media page, so-called social "plug-ins" from the Facebook social network and the Twitter micro-blogging service are used. These services are provided by the Facebook Inc. and Twitter Inc. companies (“Providers”). Facebook is operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”). Twitter is operated by Twitter Inc., 355 Market St, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA (“Twitter”). An overview of the plug-ins and their appearance can be found here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins and https://dev.twitter.com/web/overview.
If you call up the Social Media page on our website, your browser will make a direct connection to the servers of Facebook or Twitter. The contents of the plug-in are sent directly to your browser by the respective provider and are incorporated in the page. By incorporating the plug-ins, the provider receives the information that your browser has called up the relevant page of our website, even if you do not have a profile on the relevant social network or are not logged in at the time. This information (including your IP address) is sent directly to a server of the respective provider in the USA by your browser and stored there.
If you are logged in on Facebook or Twitter, the providers can assign the visit to our website directly to your profile on Facebook or Twitter. If you interact with the plug-ins, i.e. press the “Like” button or the “+1” button, the relevant information is also sent directly to a server of the provider and stored there. The information is also published in the social network and displayed to your contacts there. The purpose and scope of the data acquisition and the further processing and use of the data by the provider and the relevant rights and setting options for protecting your privacy can be found in the provider's data protection notes.

You can also block the loading of the plug-ins using add-ons for your browser, e.g. with the script blocker “NoScript” (http://noscript.net/).
We transfer your data to processors, these being companies we commission to process data within the legally defined parameters, Art. 28 GDPR (service providers, contractors). In this case, Häfele will still remain responsible for the protection of your data (i.e. we are the “controller"). We have implemented legal, technical and organisational measures, alongside the performance of regular controls, to ensure that processors comply with the provisions of the data protection laws. We commission contractors in the following areas in particular: IT, sales, marketing, finance, consulting, customer service, HR, logistics, printing.
We will also transfer your data to our co-operation partners, who deliver services to you under their own responsibility (suppliers, delivery companies). This is the case when you request us to deliver services from these partners, or if you consent to the involvement of the partner, or if we engage the partner in a situation in which we are legally permitted to do so, such as the performance of a contract, in accordance with Art. 6 (1 b)
Personal data is transferred within the Häfele Group for internal administrative purposes connected with centralised customer care and order processing. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1 f) GDPR. Häfele has instituted internal guidelines that obliged its companies to implement the technical/organisational measures for ensuring the security of data processing operations.

6. Security of data processing
We maintain up-to-date technical and organisational measures for ensuring the security of the data processing operation, especially in order to protect your personal data from risks during data transfer and from becoming known to unauthorised third parties. These measures are modified in accordance with the current state-of-the-art, the need for protecting the personal data in question, and the risks to your rights and freedoms. Generally speaking, your data will be processed in Germany and within other European countries. If, in exceptional cases, your data is also processed in countries outside of the European Union (i.e. in “third countries”), this will take place to the extent that you have explicitly consented to it, or if it is necessary in order for us to deliver our service to you, or if it is stipulated by law (Art. 49 GDPR). Furthermore, your data will be processed in third countries only insofar as certain measures are in place to ensure that a reasonable level of data protection exists there (e.g. adequacy decision taken by the EU Commission or “appropriate safeguards”, Art. 44 et seqq. GDPR).
