Data Protection
Thank you for visiting our website. We would like to introduce you to
our online data protection principles. Our company group prescribes
that the protection of your privacy is of the utmost importance to us.
Therefore, we comply with the legal provisions governing data
protection. Further, we firmly believe that you should know at all
times what data we store, when we save it and how we use it.
Schmitz-Werke
GmbH + Co. KG does not share, sell, transfer or otherwise disseminate
your personal data to third parties, unless this is required for the
purpose of the contract or unless you have given express consent to do
so. For instance, it may be necessary to pass on your address and order
data to our contractors when you order products.
Private User Domain
Access to the private user domain is reserved for specialist retailers.
In the private user domain we obtain data for person-related processing
and use only as far as this serves the purpose of our contractual
relationship.
Methods of Self-Protection and Anonymity
It is up to you to decide upon the information you wish to entrust to
us during your visit. You can visit all Schmitz-Werke GmbH + Co. KG
public websites anonymously. In particular, you can use the collection
database, the sun compass and the markilux weather information service
anonymously and may leave our site at any time. We collect statistical
data only which serves to improve our website and which cannot be
traced back to your person. The private user domain for our specialist
retailers cannot be used anonymously.
Additional personal information such as your name, address, telephone
number or e-mail address is not collected unless you provide this data
voluntarily, e.g. as part of a registration, survey, competition,
fulfilment of contract or an information request.

enter personal information, we notify you that this Internet

persons or could be tampered with. This declaration of data protection
does not apply to other websites accessed through links. We do not
accept any liability for links.
