The protection of your personal data is an important concern for us. The following information provides an overview of what happens to your personal data when you visit our website.

​

Our offer and this website are directed exclusively at commercial customers, companies, public institutions, authorities, universities, and other professional end-users (B2B). Delivery to private individuals (consumers within the meaning of § 13 BGB) is excluded. Accordingly, we process personal data of visitors and contact persons within the scope of business relationships.

Gebr. Rettberg GmbH Rudolf-Wissell-Straße 17 37079 Göttingen Germany Phone: +49 (0) 551 / 50 50 30 Email: info@rettberg.biz

​

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.

​

2. Hosting and Infrastructure (Wix)

​

This website is operated using the website builder of Wix.com Ltd., 40 Namal Tel Aviv St., Tel Aviv 6350671, Israel (hereinafter "Wix").

​

Wix stores and processes data on servers in the European Union, the USA, and Israel.

​

• For Israel, there is an adequacy decision by the European Commission, which certifies an adequate level of data protection.

• For the USA and Wix companies in the USA (such as Wix.com Inc.), the transfer takes place on the basis of the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF) or via standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission to ensure an equivalent level of data protection.

Further information on data protection at Wix can be found at wix.com.

The processing of data by Wix is based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (our legitimate interest in a bug-free, technically secure, and visually appealing provision of our online offer).

3. Collection of Data When Visiting the Website (Server Log Files)

​

When you access this website, Wix automatically collects data and stores it in so-called server log files. This includes:

​

• Browser type and browser version

• Operating system used

• Referrer URL (the previously visited page)

• Host name of the accessing computer (IP address)

• Time and date of the server request

This data is technically necessary to display the website stably and securely. It is not merged with other data sources. The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest in system security and technical optimization of the website).

4. Contact Forms and Requests for Quotations

​

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, request form, or directly by email, your details, including the contact details you provide there (in particular first name, last name, email address, company name, subject, and the content of your message), will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in the event of follow-up questions.

Since our offer is aimed exclusively at B2B customers, the processing of this data is based on the following legal bases:

​

• If you inquire as a sole proprietor or direct contractual partner: Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR (performance of pre-contractual measures or fulfillment of a contract).

• If you inquire as an employee, representative, or contact person of a company, an authority, or a university: Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in efficient communication and the processing of business inquiries with our commercial partners.

5. Newsletter (if offered)

​

If a newsletter is offered on our website and you subscribe to it, we process your email address and, if applicable, your name exclusively for the regular dispatch of the newsletter.

The processing is based on your explicit consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR). You can withdraw this consent and thus the subscription to the newsletter at any time with effect for the future (e.g., via the unsubscribe link in the newsletter or informally by email to info@rettberg.biz). If no newsletter is offered or used, this section does not apply.

6. Cookies and Tracking Tools
