Data protection declaration
Unless stated otherwise below, the provision of your personal data is neither legally nor
contractually obligatory, nor required for conclusion of a contract. You are not obliged to provide
your data. Not providing it will have no consequences. This only applies as long as the processing
procedures below do not state otherwise. “Personal data” is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.
Server log files
You can use our websites without submitting personal data.
Every time our website is accessed, user data is transferred to us or our web hosts/IT service
providers by your internet browser and stored in server log files. This stored data includes for
example the name of the site called up, date and time of the request, the IP address, amount of
data transferred and the provider making the request. The processing is carried out on the basis of
Article 6(1) f) GDPR due to our legitimate interests in ensuring the smooth operation of our
website as well as improving our services.
Contact
Responsible person
Contact us at any time. The person responsible for data processing is: Mecheltron GmbH & Co. KG -
Alexander Ludwig, Withig 12, 77836 Rheinmünster Deutschland, +49-(0)7227-763987-1,

Proactive contact of the customer by e-mail
If you make contact with us proactively via email, we shall collect your personal data (name, email
address, message text) only to the extent provided by you. The purpose of the data processing is to
handle and respond to your contact request.
If the initial contact serves to implement pre-contractual measures (e.g. consultation in the case
of purchase interest, order creation) or concerns an agreement already concluded between you and
us, this data processing takes place on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.
If the initial contact occurs for other reasons, this data processing takes place on the basis of
Article 6(1)(f) GDPR for the purposes of our overriding, legitimate interest in handling and
responding to your request. In this case, on grounds relating to your particular situation, you
have the right to object at any time to this processing of personal data concerning you and carried
out on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
We will only use your email address to process your request. Your data will subsequently be deleted
in compliance with statutory retention periods, unless you have agreed to further processing and
use.
Customer account Orders
Customer account
When you open a customer account, we will collect your personal data in the scope given there. The
data processing is for the purpose of improving your shopping experience and simplifying order
processing. The processing will be carried out on the basis of art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR with your
consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us without affecting the legality
of the processing carried out with your consent up to the withdrawal. Your customer account will
then be deleted.
Collection, processing, and transfer of personal data in orders
When you submit an order we only collect and use your personal data insofar as this is necessary
for the fulfilment and handling of your order as well as processing of your queries. The provision
of data is necessary for conclusion of a contract. Failure to provide it will prevent the
conclusion of any contract. The processing will occur on the basis of Article 6(1) b) GDPR and is
required for the fulfilment of a contract with you.
Your data will be shared, for example, with shipping companies, dropshipping or fulfillment
providers, payment service providers, service providers for order processing, and IT service
providers. We will comply strictly with legal requirements in every case. The scope of data
transmission is restricted to a minimum.
