Data Protection

The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations and this Privacy Policy.

When you use this website, various items of personal data are collected. Personal data is data by which you can be personally identified. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.

Please note that data transmitted over the internet, for example when communicating by email, may be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Information on the Controller

The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:

Zorn GmbH
Ezetilstrasse 1
35410 Hungen
Germany

Telephone: +49 (0) 6402 519 06 10
Email: info@zorn-company.com

The controller is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of processing personal data, such as names, email addresses or similar information.

Withdrawal of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are possible only with your express consent. You may withdraw consent that you have already given at any time. An informal notification by email is sufficient. The lawfulness of data processing carried out before the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Specific Cases and to Direct Marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

IF DATA PROCESSING IS CARRIED OUT ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME, ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE APPLICABLE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS THE PERSONAL DATA CONCERNED UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES TO ESTABLISH, EXERCISE OR DEFEND LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR).

WHERE YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL THEREAFTER NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority

In the event of infringements of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work or the place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract provided to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will be done only where technically feasible.

SSL or TLS Encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries that you send to us as the website operator, this website uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser’s address bar changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the padlock symbol in your browser bar.

When SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Access, Deletion and Rectification

Within the scope of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right at any time and free of charge to obtain information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, the purpose of the data processing and, where applicable, the right to have this data rectified or deleted. You may contact us at any time at the address provided in the legal notice regarding this or any other questions concerning personal data.

Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data. You may contact us at any time at the address provided in the legal notice. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:

If you dispute the accuracy of the personal data stored by us, we will generally require time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data was or is unlawful, you may request restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
If we no longer require your personal data, but you require it for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, your interests must be weighed against ours. Until it has been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data may—apart from being stored—be processed only with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

Objection to Promotional Emails

We hereby object to the use of contact details published as part of our statutory legal notice obligations for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and informational materials. The operators of these pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited promotional information being sent, for example by spam email.

Cookies

Our websites use so-called “cookies”. Cookies are small text files and do not cause any damage to your device. They are stored on your device either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies). Session cookies are deleted automatically at the end of your visit. Persistent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or they are automatically deleted by your web browser.

In some cases, cookies from third-party companies may also be stored on your device when you visit our website (third-party cookies). These enable us or you to use certain services provided by the third-party company, for example cookies used to process payment services.

Cookies serve various purposes. Many cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not work without them, such as the shopping-cart function or the display of videos. Other cookies are used to evaluate user behaviour or display advertising.

Cookies required to carry out electronic communication processes (necessary cookies), to provide certain functions requested by you (functional cookies, for example for the shopping-cart function), or to optimise the website (for example cookies used to measure website audiences) are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimised provision of its services. Where consent to the storage of cookies has been requested, the cookies concerned are stored exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR); consent may be withdrawn at any time.

You can configure your browser to inform you when cookies are set, to allow cookies only in individual cases, to exclude the acceptance of cookies in certain cases or in general, and to enable the automatic deletion of cookies when the browser is closed. Disabling cookies may restrict the functionality of this website.

Where cookies from third-party companies or cookies for analytics purposes are used, we will inform you separately within this Privacy Policy and, where appropriate, request your consent.

If you submit enquiries to us using the contact form, the information you provide in the enquiry form, including the contact details entered there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We will not disclose this data without your consent.

This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR where your enquiry relates to the performance of a contract or is required in order to take steps prior to entering into a contract. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively handling enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), where such consent has been requested.

The data entered by you in the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, withdraw your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies, for example after your enquiry has been fully processed. Mandatory statutory provisions, in particular retention periods, remain unaffected.

Enquiries by Email, Telephone or Fax

If you contact us by email, telephone or fax, your enquiry, including all personal data arising from it, such as your name and the content of your enquiry, will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We will not disclose this data without your consent.

The data you send to us in connection with contact enquiries will remain with us until you request its deletion, withdraw your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies, for example after your request has been fully processed. Mandatory statutory provisions, in particular statutory retention periods, remain unaffected.

5. Analytics Tools and Advertising

Use of Google Analytics

We use the Google Analytics web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”) on our website. The data is processed for the purpose of analysing this website and its visitors. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use the information obtained to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity and provide the website operator with other services relating to website and internet use. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be combined with other Google data.
Google Analytics uses cookies that make it possible to analyse your use of the website. The information generated by the cookies concerning your use of this website is generally transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the United States. IP anonymisation is enabled on this website. As a result, Google will truncate your IP address beforehand within Member States of the European Union or in other countries party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the United States and truncated there. Your data may be transferred to the United States. An adequacy decision of the European Commission is in place for data transfers to the United States. Processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR due to our legitimate interest in designing the website in a manner that meets users’ needs and is appropriately targeted. You have the right, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to object at any time to this processing of personal data concerning you based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
You may prevent cookies from being stored by selecting the appropriate technical settings in your browser software. Please note, however, that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website in full. You may also prevent Google from collecting and processing the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website, including your IP address, by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link [https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en]. To prevent Google Analytics from collecting data across different devices, you may set an opt-out cookie. Opt-out cookies prevent the future collection of your data when you visit this website. You must carry out the opt-out on all systems and devices used for it to be fully effective. Clicking here will set the opt-out cookie: Disable Google Analytics.

6. Newsletter

Newsletter Data

If you would like to subscribe to the newsletter offered on the website, we require an email address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the email address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter. No additional data is collected, or it is collected only on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively to send the requested information and do not disclose it to third parties.

The data entered into the newsletter registration form is processed exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may withdraw the consent you have given to the storage of the data and email address and to their use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example by using the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. The lawfulness of data processing already carried out remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

The data you provide to us for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us or by the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe. Data stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected.

After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your email address may be stored by us or by the newsletter service provider on a blacklist in order to prevent future mailings. The data on the blacklist will be used only for this purpose and will not be combined with other data. This serves both your interests and our interest in complying with statutory requirements when sending newsletters, which constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Storage on the blacklist is not limited in time. You may object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.
