General information

We process your personal data in compliance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG-Federal Republic of Germany), the Data Protection Act (DSG-Liechtenstein), and all other applicable laws.

We need your data in order to be able to perform the agreed contractual obligations for you to buy, sell and manage commodities. The execution of the contract is not possible without the processing of your data.

The legal basis for this processing of personal data for pre-contractual and contractual purposes is Art. 6 para. 1 b of the DSGVO. We also process your data if it is necessary under Art. 6 (1) f of the DSGVO to protect legitimate interests of us or of third parties. This may be necessary in particular

• to advertise our own products
• to ensure IT security and IT operations
• for the prevention and investigation of criminal offences.

In addition, we process your personal data to comply with legal obligations (for example, regulatory requirements, commercial and tax retention obligations). In this case, the respective legal regulations in conjunction with Art. 6 (1) c of the DSGVO serve as the legal basis for the processing.

Should we wish to process your personal data for a purpose not mentioned above, we will inform you of this in advance within the framework of the legal provisions. The revocation has no retroactive effect. It does not affect the legal validity of the data processing carried out on the basis of the previous consent until receipt of the revocation.

Cookies

Some of the Internet pages use so-called cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system via an internet browser. Numerous Internet pages and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string of characters by which Internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the visited Internet pages and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific internet browser can be recognised and identified via the unique cookie ID. Through the use of cookies, we can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.

By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimised for the benefit of the user. As already mentioned, cookies enable us to recognise the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter his or her access data each time he or she visits the website, because this is done by the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of an appropriate setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programmes. This is possible in all common internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.

 

Google Web Fonts

This site uses so-called web fonts provided by Google for the uniform display of fonts. Google Web Fonts are used in the interest of a uniform and appealing presentation of our online offers. If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font will be used by your computer.
The Google fonts on this page are integrated statically, i.e. they are loaded via our own domain instead of dynamically from the Google server; no IP addresses are transmitted to Google in the USA because of the fonts.

 

Contact

If you contact us by e-mail, we store the necessary information for processing the request and in case follow-up questions arise.

This is also our legitimate interest according to Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 f of the DSGVO.
