Data Privacy

G&D is pleased that you have visited our website and are interested in our organization and products. We take the protection of your personal information very seriously and want you to feel secure while browsing our site. This page explains how we safeguard your privacy when you share your personal information with us. All personal information collected during visits to our website is handled in strict compliance with data protection regulations.

Collection and processing of personal data

Your personal information will only be stored if you choose to make it available to us, for instance by registering, filling out forms or sending e-mails, ordering products or services, or making enquiries or requesting material.

We use your personal information for customer and stakeholder management, product surveys, marketing purposes, and correspondence with you. In each case, we use it only to the extent necessary. Your personal information is never disclosed to third parties outside our group of companies without your explicit permission. We disclose personal information to government institutions or authorities only if required to do so under relevant national law.

Revocation

You have the right to revoke your consent to the use of your personal information at any time, with future effect. Just send an e-mail to the address provided in our contact details.

Cookies

Some parts of our website use "cookies" to help us tune our service to your requirements. A cookie is a token that a server can send to your computer to identify it - but not you personally - for the duration of your visit. Most browsers are set to accept cookies automatically, but you can also deactivate this function if you wish. Refer to the information supplied by your browser provider to find out how to do this. However, refusing all cookies could mean that you cannot take full advantage of our services.

Data collected and stored by this website may be used for marketing and optimization purposes. However, analysis for these purposes takes place only in anonymized form.

Security

G&D uses technical and organizational security measures to protect personal information you provide against accidental or deliberate manipulation, loss, deletion, or access by unauthorized parties. Our security measures are continually upgraded and adjusted in line with the current state of knowledge.

Links to other websites

G&D websites may contain links to other websites for your convenience; however, your access to such links or websites is at your own risk. G&D is not responsible, disclaims all liability, and you release and discharge the G&D group companies from any and all liability arising from the content or privacy practices of those links or websites or your use, reliance on or access to them.

Reports; changes; deletion

If you would like a report on our storage of your personal information, if your data are incorrect and should be altered, or if you wish your details to be deleted, please contact our Data Privacy Officer. Please allow a reasonable time for us to respond to your requests.

We will store and use information you share with us by filling out forms unless or until you cancel the service in question or have not made active use of our services for longer than two years. In this case, the data will be deleted after two years in the absence of a statutory obligation to retain them for longer.

The ongoing development of the Internet means that G&D may need to amend its data privacy policy from time to time. We reserve the right to make changes at any time as necessary.
