Stephan Härtner
Glockenspitz 36
47800 Krefeld

E-Mail: info@rhine-trading.de
Telefon: (+49) 02151-6438800

The responsible body decides alone or jointly with others on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g. names, contact details, etc.).

Revocation of your consent to data processing.
Some data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke your previously granted consent at any time. An informal email notification is sufficient for revocation. The legality of the data processing carried out up to the time of revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority
. As a data subject, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority in the event of a data protection violation. The competent supervisory authority for data protection issues is the state data protection officer of the federal state in which our company is headquartered. The following link provides a list of data protection officers and their contact details:  https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Infothek/Anschriften_Links/anschriften_links-node.html .

Right to data portability
You have the right to have data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract transferred to you or to third parties. This will be provided in a machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done if technically feasible.

Right to information, correction, blocking, and deletion.
Within the scope of applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain free information about your stored personal data, its origin, its recipients, and the purpose of data processing, as well as, if applicable, the right to correct, block, or delete this data. You can contact us at any time using the contact options listed in the legal notice regarding this and other questions regarding personal data.

SSL or TLS encryption:
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content that you send to us as the website operator, our website uses SSL or TLS encryption. This ensures that data you transmit via this website cannot be read by third parties. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the “https://” address bar in your browser and the lock symbol in the browser bar.

Server log files:
The website provider automatically collects and stores information that your browser automatically transmits to us in server log files. This includes:

• Visited page on our domain
• Date and time of the server request
• Browser type and version
• Operating system used
• Referrer URL
• Hostname of the accessing computer
• IP Address

This data will not be merged with other data sources. The basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the performance of a contract or for pre-contractual measures.

Contact form:
Data submitted via the contact form, including your contact details, will be stored in order to process your inquiry or to answer any follow-up questions. This data will not be shared without your consent.

The data entered into the contact form will be processed exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR). You can revoke your previously granted consent at any time. An informal email notification is sufficient for revocation. The legality of the data processing operations carried out up to the time of revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Data submitted via the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or until data storage is no longer necessary. Mandatory legal provisions—in particular, retention periods—remain unaffected.
