Stand 23.10.2018

1. Privacy at a glance

General information

Our company places the greatest value on the protection of your personal data. Our processing of this data occurs in strict adherence to privacy regulations, including the European General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR), the German Federal Data Protection Act (FDPA) and other legislation. The GDPR obligates us to provide you with the following information on the processing of your data.

Data collection on our website

Who is responsible for data collection on this website?
Data collection on this website is carried out by the website owner.
You can find their contact data in the imprint of this website.

How do we collect your data?

Some of your data are collected when you share it with us, e.g. via e-mail or as part of order processing.
Other data are automatically collected by our IT systems when you visit our website. This includes technical data in particular (e.g. your Internet browser, operating system and the time you called up the website). These data are collected automatically as soon as you access our website.

What do we use your data for?

When you contact us with a request:
You can contact us with a request at any time. You can do this by telephone, letter, e-mail, fax or in person. When you transfer data in doing so, the following applies for this data:
Personal data: Information you freely share with us
Purpose of processing: Handling your request
Legal basis: Section 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a of the GDPR
Recipient of the data:
– Company management and internal specialist departments
– Entities to which we forward the data at your request
Storage duration:
The data are archived following the completion of processing. The data in the archive are deleted after 10 years.
Business partners (customers, suppliers, service providers etc.):
Most of our service providers name one of their employees as a contact to Rettenmeier Mühle. The contact data of this contact are processed by us as follows:
Personal data:
– Name
– Company, company address
– Position, function
– Telephone number, fax number
– E-mail address
Purpose of processing: Consultation on ordered services/deliveries
Legal basis: Section 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f of the GDPR
Origin of the data:
– Provision to the contact by yourself
– Provision by another entity of the service provider/supplier
Recipient of the data:
– Company management and internal specialist departments

Storage duration:

The data are archived following fulfilment of the order. The data in the archive are deleted after 10 years. There is no obligation to pass on these data. Processing also is not absolutely necessary for the service/supply. The expenditure required for consultation would be disproportionately high without set contacts, however. The risk of misunderstanding would also be very high. For this reason, there is a justified interest in this processing.

2. General information and compulsory information

Privacy concept

We take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data in a confidential manner and in accordance with the statutory privacy regulations and this privacy statement.
Your personal data are saved and used solely for the purpose of communication and business with you. We follow the principle of data economy and minimisation here. The data are neither used for other purposes nor made accessible to others for their purposes.
Within the scope of our technical and organisational measures, your data is protected from outside and unauthorised access. We take suitable technical and organisational security measures to protect your data against random or deliberate manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction and unauthorised access by third parties. Our security measures are continually being improved in accordance with the latest technological developments.
We would like to point out that data transmission on the Internet (e.g. communication via e-mail) can exhibit gaps in security. Seamless protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

5. Plug-ins and tools

Google web fonts

This website uses so-called web fonts provided by Google for the standardised representation of fonts. When a website is called up, your browser loads the required web fonts into the browser cache for the correct display of text and fonts.
For this purpose, the browser you are using must connect to Google servers. This notifies Google that our website was called up from your IP address. The use of Google web fonts occurs in the interest of the uniform and attractive representation of our online offerings. This represents a justified interest as per Section 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f of the GDPR.
If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font from your computer is used.

Google Maps

This website uses the Google Maps service over an API. This is provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
To utilise the functions of Google Maps, your IP address must be saved. This information is generally transferred to a server by Google in the USA and saved there. The provider of this website has no influence on this data transfer.
The Google Maps service is used in the interest of an attractive presentation of our online offerings and the easy findability of the locations specified by us on the website. This represents a justified interest as per Section 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f of the GDPR.

6. Visiting our location

Our facility grounds and locations which are especially sensitive with regard to product security are monitored by video. No other working areas are monitored. Non-personnel are only recorded if they enter monitored areas. The Rettenmeier GmbH art mill has a justified interest (GDPR Section 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f) in exercising its domiciliary right and resisting negative influences on product security. Video monitoring is a necessary means for monitoring sensitive areas.

7. Social Media

Instagram Feed:

We use an Instagram feed plugin from the company Smash Balloon (LLC, P.O. Box 126 Long Lake, MN 55356, USA) to display social media content on our website. As a result, our website makes requests to Instagram’s servers to obtain the data to populate the feeds and display images and videos. These requests make your IP address visible to Instagram, which may use it in accordance with its privacy policy: https://help.instagram.com/519522125107875
