Collection, processing and use of personal data
You can visit our website without giving any personal information. In this case we only store access data without personal reference, for example the name of your Internet service provider, the website from which you access our website, or the name of any files requested. These data are evaluated solely for the purpose of improving our offer and do not allow any conclusion on your person.
Personal data are collected for systemic reasons, if you communicate them on the occasion of goods orders or when you register in our online shop or the use of our newsletter service.
The personal data communicated to us are collected, processed and used exclusively in accordance with the principles described in this privacy policy and in strict compliance with the provisions of the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and the Telemedia Act (TMG). We use the data provided by you to fulfill and process your order. The emails to our newsletter subscribers contain up-to-date information about products from HD-Mtec (schwammtuch.com)
A transfer of your data to third parties only takes place if this is necessary for the provision of the respective service. For example, your data will be transmitted to the shipping company responsible for the delivery or to the financial service provider responsible for processing the payment in the amount required for order processing. Invoice claims may be assigned by us to third parties, in particular for refinancing purposes and for the purpose of simplified processing of claims. We point out that in case of assignment, in accordance with the statutory provisions, we will forward the information required for an assignment as well as the assertion of the assigned claims to the third party.
Furthermore, this website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies", text files that are stored on your computer and that allow an analysis of the use of the website by you. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The IP address provided by Google Analytics as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. We have also extended the code "anonymizeIP" on this website to Google Analytics. This guarantees the masking of your IP address so that all data is collected anonymously.On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this anonymised information to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website usage and internet usage to the website operator.

However, no personal information will be forwarded to Google. Adding additional features to Google Analytics with Universal Analytics does not mean that it's limited by privacy practices such as IP masking or the browser add-on.
