If you have any questions or suggestions about our privacy policy or other information regarding data processing, you can contact us at any time.

This is an English courtesy translation of the authoritative German Privacy guidelines. In case of any discrepancies or inconsistencies, the German version will prevail.

 The following applies:

1. Storage of access data in server log files

You can visit our websites and view content without having to provide any information about yourself. We simply store access data in server log files, e.g. the name of the requested file, the date and time of retrieval, the amount of data transferred, and the requesting provider. The data is used solely to ensure the correct operation of the site, as well as to further improve our offering. This data does not enable us to draw conclusions about individual users.

2. Data collection and use for contract processing and for opening customer accounts

We collect personal data if you voluntarily communicate this to us within the scope of your order, by contacting us (for example via a contact form or e-mail) or by opening a customer account. You can select exactly what type of data is collected using the relevant input forms. We use the data that you have provided to then create the contract and to process your inquiries. Following on from the complete processing of the contract or deletion of your customer account, your data will be blocked for further use and will be deleted after expiration of the tax and commercial storage periods, unless you expressly consent to further use of your data or we reserve for ourselves additional data usage, which is legally permitted and which we will explain further below. You may delete your customer account at any time by sending a message to the contact described below. 

Personal data shall be processed exclusively in accordance with the legal provisions of the European Union in strict compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) of the 25.5.2018 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data.

3. Data transfer for contract fulfilment

For the fulfilment of the contract, we will pass on your data to the shipping company tasked with delivery, insofar as this is necessary for the delivery of your ordered goods. To process payments, we will pass on the necessary payment information to the credit institution tasked with the payment process and, if and where applicable, payment service providers commissioned by us, or to the payment service you selected when placing your order.

4. Non-disclosure 

The employees of mhp Verlag GmbH are obliged to maintain non-disclosure with regards to personal data. This data is passed onto third parties only where and when necessary to fulfil the contract. These third parties are also obliged by mhp Verlag GmbH, by means of agreements, to observe users’ privacy and data protection. 

5. Data usage when signing up for e-mail newsletter

When you subscribe to our newsletter, we use the data required for this purpose, or the data sent separately by you, to send you our e-mail newsletter regularly. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time by sending a message to newsletter@mhp-medien.de or you can also click on the link in the newsletter to unsubscribe.

7. Data usage for e-mail advertising without newsletter registration and your right of objection

If we receive your e-mail address in connection with the sale of a product or service and you have not objected to further contact, we reserve the right to send you by e-mail regular offers on similar products, such as the one that you have already purchased, from our product range. You may object to this use of your e-mail address at any time by sending a message to the contacts described below or via the link provided in the advertising e-mail without incurring any charges other than the transmission costs set in the base prices.

8. Data usage for postal advertising and your right of objection

In addition, we reserve the right to include your first and last names, your postal address and, insofar as we have received such additional information from you within the scope of the contract, your title, information regarding academic degrees, year of birth and your profession, your workplace or your business name in lists and to use this information for marketing purposes, e.g. to send new offers and information about our products to you by mail. You may object to the storage and use of your data at any time by sending a message to the contacts described below.

9. Access protection

All of the data that is on our servers and which is "hosted" (that is, stored) is protected against unauthorized access by multilevel security systems. The employees of mhp Verlag GmbH and the system providers check the effectiveness of this protective measure on a regular basis. 

10. Forwarding to the pages run by other operators

When you leave our website, for example by clicking on our banner advertising, and arrive on other pages, cookies will be set by the addressees of the selected landing page. mhp Verlag GmbH is not legally responsible for this. To better understand the use of such cookies and the information stored on them by our advertising partners, please compare their data protection declarations. 

11. Your right to information

Upon written request, you will be informed by us as to what data we currently have stored about you (e.g. your name, address). 

12. Data protection for minors

Protecting the privacy of children is of great importance. Therefore, we do not want to collect, process or use the personal data that may correspond to any individual who is under 18 years of age. If you are a child’s legal guardian and you know that your children have submitted their personal data to us, you can contact us via these addresses if you would prefer that the data be deleted. 

13. Our claim

We take care of compliance matters for data protection regulations across all of the areas within our platform and within our company. mhp Verlag GmbH commits to every necessary technical and organisational security measure to protect your personal data from loss and misuse. Your data is stored in a secure operating environment that is not accessible to the public.

Cookies

The Internet pages use cookies in several places. They are designed to make our offering more user-friendly, more effective and safer for online visitors. Cookies are small text files which are stored on your computer and which your browser then saves. Most of the cookies that we use are known as "session cookies". These cookies are automatically deleted once your visit is over. Cookies do not damage your computer and they contain no viruses.

Google Analytics 

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses so-called “Cookies”, which are text files stored on your computer and which allow for an analysis of how you use and navigate a website. The information about your use of this website (including your IP address) is generated by the cookie and then transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports for the website operators on the website’s activity, and to provide other services connected with the use of the website and the Internet. Where appropriate, Google may also transfer this information to third parties, provided this is required by law or if third parties process this data on behalf of Google. Google will never, under any circumstances, link your IP address with other data from Google. You can prevent cookies from being installed by setting your browser software accordingly. However, we would point out that, in this case, you may not be able to fully utilise all the functions that are on this website. By using this website, you agree to Google processing data about you in the manner that is described above and for the same purpose as explained above.

Important: We use IP masking. This means that your IP address will not be fully shared with Google. You can also disable the use of your personal data by implementing the “disabling add-on for browsers". The disabling add-on for Google Analytics gives you more control over what data is collected by Google Analytics. The add-on notifies the JavaScript (ga.js) on Google Analytics not to provide any information to Google Analytics about your site visit. If you would like to make use of this feature, download the add-on and install it for your current web browser. The Google Analytics disabling add-on is available for Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 up to 11, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, and Opera.
