Data Protection

Thank you for visiting our website and for your interest in both our company as a whole and in our products. In this regard, we make sure to protect your privacy and we guarantee that your personal data will be protected by processing your personal data in compliance with the provisions under this Privacy Policy and in compliance with any other applicable data protection provisions.

As a general rule, you can visit our websites without the need to provide us with information about your identity. For the purpose of simply displaying our websites, the only thing you are obliged to do is to provide us with the data which your browser transfers to our servers (see the “Log Files” section). Any additional personal data relating to you will only be saved if you provide them on the websites on a voluntary basis or if you make use of certain website functions, such as making entries in our contact form or subscribing to our newsletter.

Purchase Orders, Customer Account

To be able to place purchase orders, you need to register with our web shop, for which purpose you must provide all the information which shows the asterisk (compulsory information). We will process such data only for the purpose of executing the relevant purchase order and for the purpose of communicating with you (sentence 1 of point (b) of Art. 6(1) GDPR). The provision of additional information might be helpful for processing your order, but you are under no obligation to do so (voluntary provision).

Through your user account, you can view your shopping cart for yourself, name and save it, whereby you provide the relevant information on a voluntary basis (point (a) of Art. 6(1) GDPR) and whereby you can also erase the data yourself at a later time. You have the possibility of having us erase either your user account as a whole or individual data thereof at any time by sending an e-mail to us by using the contact data indicated under the “Data Controller” section.

We make use of this data exclusively for the purposes we indicated; your personal data will in no case be transferred to third parties or to any other companies, except for those logistics service providers which we commission with delivering the ordered goods to you.

Registration for the Cutting Data Calculator

To be able to make use of our “Cutting Data Calculator”, you must have your access to the tool activated by sending an e-mail to our Sales team at info@zecha.de, unless you have a customer account for our web shop.

Our Sales team will then provide you with the relevant access data based on which you can register for the Cutting Data Calculator. These data processing activities are based on point (a) of Art. 6(1) GDPR. Whenever you send a request to the contact data indicated under the “Data Controller” section, we will erase your personal data. No forwarding of the data to third parties will take place.

Newsletter and Contacting

In the case where you subscribe to our electronic newsletter, you also agree to your name and your e-mail address being stored for the purpose of sending the newsletter to you (sentence 1 of point (a) of Art. 6(1) GDPR). The data will in no case be disclosed to third parties. You have the possibility, at any time, to revoke your consent to the newsletter with effect for the future and, as a consequence, to cancel your subscription to the newsletter (information included in the newsletter).

It is possible for you to provide your personal data on our website for the purpose of contacting us, whereby only the data which shows an asterisk shall be considered compulsory data to be provided. You will always be required to indicate your postal address, your e-mail address and your telephone number because we reserve the right to provide answers to your queries either by letter or by electronic means/telephone.

The provision of additional information might be helpful for processing your query, but you are under no obligation to do so (voluntary provision). On the basis of your consent, your personal data will be used and stored exclusively for the purpose of processing your message (sentence 1 of point (a) of Art. 6(1) GDPR). The data will not be used for any other purposes and it will not be transferred to third parties, unless you expressly agree to this (consent).

In the case where you request us to deliver information materials to you by letter or by e-mail, you also consent to the storage and the use of your address data (in the case of delivery by letter) and/or your e-mail address (in the case of delivery by e-mail) to be able to actually deliver such information materials to you (sentence 1 of point (a) of Art. 6(1) GDPR). This data will be exclusively transferred to third parties we commissioned with delivering the materials to you; apart from that, your personal data will not be transferred.

Transient cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser. These include, in particular, session cookies. These save a so-called “session ID”, by which various requests from your browser can be assigned to the overall session. This will allow your computer to be recognized if you return to our website. Session cookies are deleted as soon as you log out or close your browser.
Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a set period of time, which may differ depending on the cookie.

You can delete cookies at any time in the security settings of your browser.
This information serves optimisation of our website and making it more comfortable for you to surf on our webpages. The legal basis for this manner of data processing is sentence 1 of point (f) of Art. 6(1) GDPR.

You have the possibility of setting your internet browser so that you will be informed if a web server intends to save a cookie on your system so that you can either accept or reject the relevant cookies. You can configure your browser setting according to your preferences and can, for example, decline the acceptance of third-party cookies or any cookies at all. Please note that in this case, you may not be able to use all the functions of this website. For more information about this, please refer to the help function of your internet browser. 

Links to Social Media Platforms/Fan Pages

For the purpose of providing customers, partners or other interested parties with up-to-date information and of contacting them, we operate what is referred to as “fan pages” on the social networks referred to in the following in addition to our company website: Facebook

In this case, your personal data will be processed by the social media platform operator which also means that it is impossible to exclude the possibility that your personal data will be transferred to countries outside the European Union. It may be the case that the platform operator provides us with aggregated user data, but we have no access to personal data in the case where you only visit the relevant fan page.

Legal basis for such data processing is point (f) of Art. 6(1) GDPR. In the case where you gave some kind of consent in the form of an opt-in (“checking the box”, “activate the button”) or in any other form to obtain your consent, the legal basis of this is provided for under point (a) of Art. 6 (1) GDPR). It is possible to revoke a consent given at any time, with effect for the future and without the need to give any reasons for this towards the persons to whom you had originally granted your consent.

Since your personal data is processed by the platform operator, we recommend you to directly refer to the website operator when it comes to exercising the rights of access, rectification, erasure, data portability and objection to the data processing in relation to the visit to our fan pages. It goes without saying that we will assist you with exercising your rights in the case where this is necessary.
In addition to the above, it is possible that cookies will be placed on your device.

For more information on both the purpose and the legal basis concerning the use of cookies, please refer to the “Cookies” section in this Privacy Policy and/or the privacy policies of the relevant platform operators.

To the extent to which our website contains any contents from third-party providers, such as Google Maps, both the provision of these contents and their display on your browser require your IP address and the contents referred to under the “Log Files” section to be transmitted to those third-party providers.

We have no influence on how third-party providers process such data. To the extent to which you are logged on to your user account with any of these third-party providers, they will be able to allocate your usage behaviour to your user account.

It may be the case that these third-party providers will store your data as user profiles and use them for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or the needs-based configuration of their website. Please note that your right of objection to the creation of these user profiles must be directly asserted vis-à-vis the relevant third-party provider.
