Privacy Policy

The protection of the personal data of our interested parties, customers, sales partners, suppliers and partners (“Business Partners”) is very important to us. The following information gives you a simple overview of what happens with your personal data when you visit our website. Personal data is any data that would allow you to be identified personally.

All incidental personal data shall be processed and used in accordance with the new EU General Data Protection Regulation. In general we require your personal data in order to answer your queries or provide you with access to special information or offers, such as our newsletter. We shall neither sell your personal data to third parties nor otherwise market it.

  • Carrying out customer surveys, marketing campaigns, market analyses, competitions, contests or similar actions and events

  • Maintenance and protection of the security of our products and services as well as our websites, prevention and detection of security risks, fraudulent actions or other criminal or malicious actions

  • Information that is collected from publicly available sources or information databases

  • If required for the purposes of compliance screenings: Information on relevant court proceedings and other legal disputes in which Business Partners are involved.

The processing of personal data is required for achievement of the above purposes, including the implementation of the (contractual) business relationship with the Business Partner.

The legal basis for the data processing is, unless otherwise expressly indicated, Article 6(1)(b) and (f) of the General Data Protection Regulation or expressly granted consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the General Data Protection Regulation) of our contact person.

If the personal data mentioned is not provided or MENZEL Industrieholding GmbH cannot collect it, the individual purposes described may not be able to be achieved.

Transfer and transmission of personal data
Within MENZEL Industrieholding GmbH, access to your data shall only be provided to those entities which require this data to fulfil our contractual and legal obligations.

We shall transfer personal data to third parties only if this is necessary within the scope of the statutory provisions. The extent of the data to be transferred shall be limited to the minimum required. No other transfer of your data to third parties shall take place.

MENZEL Industrieholding GmbH collaborates with service providers (so-called processors), such as service providers for IT maintenance services. These service providers shall only work at the instruction of MENZEL Industrieholding GmbH and are contractually obliged to comply with the applicable data protection requirements.

The controller for the data processing is

MENZEL Industrieholding GmbH
Am Alten Walzwerk 2

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

Revocation of your consent to the processing of your data
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may revoke your consent at any time with future effect. An informal email making this request is sufficient. The data processed before we receive your request may still be legally processed.

Right to file complaints with regulatory authorities
If there has been a breach of data protection legislation, the person affected may file a complaint with the competent regulatory authorities. The competent regulatory authority for matters related to data protection legislation is the data protection officer of the German state in which our company is headquartered (Berlin).

Right to data portability
You have the right to have data which we process based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract automatically delivered to yourself or to a third party in a standard, machine-readable format. If you require the direct transfer of data to another responsible party, this will only be done to the extent technically feasible.

Storage periods
If no express storage period is stated at the time of collection (e.g. within the scope of a declaration of consent), your personal data shall be erased, if it is no longer required to fulfil the purposes of storage, unless statutory storage obligations (e.g. storage obligations under commercial and tax law) prevent erasure.

Information, blocking, deletion
As permitted by law, you have the right to be provided at any time with information free of charge about any of your personal data that is stored as well as its origin, the recipient and the purpose for which it has been processed. You also have the right to have this data corrected, blocked or deleted. You can contact us at any time using the address given in our legal notice if you have further questions on the topic of personal data.
