Data privacy
We attach particular importance to protecting your personal data when we collect, process or use data which you leave with us while visiting our website. In collecting, processing and using such data we strictly observe the provisions of the German Data Privacy Act and the Telemedia Act at all times.
 
This data privacy declaration applies solely to this website. Our website may contain links to other companies’ websites. We have included these links as we think that they may be of interest to you. However, we have no influence on the content and structure of these websites and are not able to determine how the owners of the linked websites handle their information. Accordingly, our data privacy declaration and our responsibility do not extend to include their websites. If you have any questions, please contact these companies directly.
 
We use the data which we require for handling our business and for executing your order. Data may be transmitted within the scope permitted by law and in the light of your legitimate interest in having the use or transmission of your data excluded. In addition, we use address and order data for our own marketing purposes. Data is only used for third-party marketing purposes if this is permitted by law (generally published data and certain data contained in lists in accordance with Section 28 (3) No. 3 of the German Federal Data Privacy Act).
 
You may at any time withdraw your authorisation permitting us to use, process and transfer your personal data for marketing purpose by sending us a notice to this effect by ordinary mail addressed to Gottfried Friedrichs KG (GmbH & Co.), Hermann-Wüsthof-Ring 7, 21035 Hamburg, Germany or by electronic mail addressed to info@gottfried-friedrichs.de. Upon receipt of this notice, we shall not use, process or transmit the data concerned for any purpose other than for executing your order and shall refrain from sending you any further advertising.
 
Upon receipt of a request in writing (by ordinary or electronic mail), we will tell you which of your personal data we have stored. You may ask us at any time to block or delete this data. Only data which we require to execute any outstanding orders or to assert our rights and claims as well as data which we are required by law to retain will be excluded from this.
 
When does Gottfried Friedrichs KG (GmbH & Co.) collect and process personal data?


All web servers automatically register accesses to the website.
