Privacy policy

Your data will be stored by us for business processing and will not be passed on to third parties!

1. General information

At Strumpf Dirks GmbH, your satisfaction is our top priority. We therefore apply the highest security standards to protect your personal data from unauthorised access.

We want you to know what data we store about you and what we do with it. The security and confidentiality of your data is particularly important to us. Therefore, customer information is neither sold nor rented.

Your visit to our website is subject to the rules of the following data protection declaration, our general terms and conditions and the statutory provisions on data protection.

2. Personal data

Personal data is information about your person such as your name, your address, your e-mail address or your telephone number.

To prevent unauthorised access to your data by third parties, state-of-the-art encryption techniques such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) are used. SSL is a standard protocol recognised on the Internet that guarantees secure data exchange.

Your personal data will not be passed on to third parties.

3. Collection and use of your personal data

We only store personal data that you make available to us, e.g. as part of an order. By placing an order, you consent to the storage of your personal data.

We store your personal data primarily to optimise order processing.

If you register as a new customer and set up a personal account, the same data will be collected from you. Your e-mail address, in combination with a password you have created yourself, also serves as access identification. The password is stored in encrypted form and therefore cannot be read by Strumpf Dirks GmbH.

The advantage of registering is that you can use the data you have entered once to place further orders. This saves you having to enter all your data again, which can be time-consuming.

In the case of an order, we save the text of the contract and send you the order data by e-mail. You can view the terms and conditions on our website at any time. You can view your past orders in our customer login area.

After successful registration, you can view, edit and delete your personal data at any time in the ‘My account’ area.

4. My account / Changing and deleting your data

After successful registration, you can view, edit and delete your personal data at any time in the ‘My account’ area.

If you register for the newsletter, your e-mail address will only be used for our own advertising purposes and will not be passed on or sold to third parties without your prior consent. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time.
