Data Protection

MONACOR INTERNATIONAL on the subject of data protection
The protection of personal data is a matter of importance to us. Therefore, we make our activities in accordance with the re-
levant legal requirements for the protection of personal data and for the data security. In the following you will learn which information we collect, if necessary, how we proceed with it and to whom we make it available, if necessary.

Personal data
Via our websites we do not collect any personal data (e.g. names, addresses, phone numbers, or e-mail addresses)
unless you make such data available to us voluntarily (e.g. by registration, ordering of catalogue) or you have agreed to it, or this is permitted by the corresponding legal requirements on the protection of your data.

Definition of purpose
We generally use the personal data made available by you to answer your enquiries, to process your orders, or to give you access to certain information or offers. To attend to the custo-
mer relations, it may in addition be necessary

• that we memorize and process your personal data and that we inform our international subsidiaries about them
  to be able to comply with your requests in a better way or to improve our products or services; or
• that we (or a third party on our behalf) use these personal data to inform you about MONACOR INTERNATIONAL of- fers which are useful for your business activities or to make online inquiries to meet the tasks and require- ments of our customers in a better way.

Of course we will respect your wish not to leave your personal data to us to support our customer relations (especially for direct marketing or for market research purposes). We will neither sell your personal data to third parties nor commer-
cialize them in any other way except to enterprises of the MONACOR INTERNATIONAL company group.

Appropriate utilization
MONACOR INTERNATIONAL  will collect, process, and utilize the personal data made available on-line by you only for the purposes you have been informed about, unless the collection, processing, or utilization 

• is made for another purpose which is directly connected with the original purpose the personal data have been collected for, is necessary for the preparation, negotia- tion, and fulfilment of a contract with you,
• is necessary due to legal obligation or official or legal order,
• is necessary for the statement of reasons or protection
  of legal claims or for the rejection of complaints,
• serves for the prevention of misuse or other illegal activ- ities, e.g. purposeful attacks on the MONACOR INTERNATIONAL systems to ensure the data security.
  

Details about communication and utilization
If you access our websites via telecommunication services,
the following will automatically be produced by technical me-
ans: details about the communication (e.g. internet protocol address) or details about the utilization (e.g. details of the
start and duration of the utilization and details about the te-
lecommunication services used by you). These may permit conclusions on personal data. As far as it is indispensable
to collect, process, and utilize your details concerning com-
munication and utilization, this is subject to the legal regu-
lations for data protection.

Non-personal data collected automatically
If you access our websites, information is occasionally col-
lected automatically (i.e. not by registration) which is not assigned to a certain person (e.g. internet browser used
and operating system; domain name of the website from
which you came; number of the visits; average dwell time; sitescalled). We ourselves and our international subsidi-
aries use this in- formation to determine the attractiveness
of our websites and to improve their efficiency and contents.

"Cookies" -  information automatically placed on your computer
If you visit our websites it may happen that we place informat-
ion in the form of a "cookie" on your computer which automati-
cally recognizes it again during your next visit. Cookies, for ex-
ample, allow us to adapt a website to your interests or to me-
morize your password so that you do not have to re-enter it
each time. If you do not wish that we recognize your computer
again, please adjust your internet browser in such a way that
it deletes cookies from your computer hard disk, blocks all cookies, or warns you before a cookie is memorized.

Children
MONACOR INTERNATIONAL will not deliberately collect per- sonal data of children without pointing out explicitly that such data should only be passed on with the consent of the parents if this is provided by relevant legal regulations. Generally, we only use or pass on personal data of children as far as this is permitted by law, to obtain the legally required consent of the parents or for the protection of children. For the term "child/
children" the national legal regulations and cultural customs have to be taken into account.

onal security measures to protect your personal data against unintentional or unlawful deletion, change, or against loss and unauthorized passing-on or unauthorized access.
