Some of the data is collected to ensure that the website functions properly. Other data may be used to analyze your user behavior.

For this and any other questions regarding data protection, you can contact us at any time at the address provided in the legal notice. Furthermore, you have the right to file a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.

When you visit our website, your browsing behavior may be analyzed for statistical purposes. This is primarily done using cookies and so-called analytics tools. The analysis of your browsing behavior is generally anonymous; your browsing behavior cannot be traced back to you. You can object to this analysis or prevent it by not using certain tools. Detailed information on this can be found in the following privacy policy.

You have the right to object to this analysis. We will inform you of your options for objecting in this Privacy Policy.

The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with applicable data protection laws and this Privacy Policy.

Please note that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., when communicating via email) may be subject to security vulnerabilities. It is not possible to completely protect data from access by third parties.

The entity responsible for data processing on this website is:

MKW GmbH Digital Automation
Derken 15
42327 Wuppertal

Tel.: +49 202 94791 40
Email: info@mkw.gmbh

The controller is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g., names, email addresses, etc.).

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may revoke any consent you have already given at any time. To do so, simply send us an informal email. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out prior to the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

In the event of violations of data protection laws, the data subject has the right to file a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. The competent supervisory authority for data protection matters is the State Data Protection Commissioner of the federal state in which our company is headquartered. A list of data protection officers and their contact information can be found at the following link: https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Infothek/Anschriften_Links/anschriften_links-node.html.

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

If SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, the data you send to us cannot be intercepted by third parties.

In accordance with applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to receive, free of charge, information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing, as well as the right, where applicable, to have this data corrected, restricted, or deleted. For this and any other questions regarding personal data, you may contact us at any time at the address provided in the legal notice.

Some of the web pages on this site use cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies help make our website more user-friendly, effective, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.

Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies.” They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognize your browser the next time you visit.

You can configure your browser to notify you when cookies are set and to allow cookies only on a case-by-case basis, to block cookies in specific cases or generally, and to enable the automatic deletion of cookies when you close your browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

Cookies that are necessary for carrying out the electronic communication process or for providing certain functions you have requested (e.g., the shopping cart function) are stored pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. To the extent that other cookies (e.g., cookies used to analyze your browsing behavior) are stored, these are addressed separately in this Privacy Policy.

The provider of this website automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These include:

• Browser Type and Browser Version
• Operating system used
• Referrer URL
• Hostname of the connecting computer
• Time of the server request
• IP address

This data is not combined with data from other sources.

The legal basis for data processing is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the purpose of fulfilling a contract or taking steps prior to entering into a contract.

If you submit inquiries to us via the contact form, we will store the information you provide in the inquiry form—including the contact information you provide there—for the purpose of processing your inquiry and in case we have follow-up questions. We will not share this information without your consent.

The processing of the data entered in the contact form is therefore based solely on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may withdraw this consent at any time. To do so, simply send us an informal email. The lawfulness of the data processing operations carried out prior to the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request that we delete it, revoke your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g., after your inquiry has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions—in particular retention periods—remain unaffected.
