The Internet pages under the Internet address www.men-defencetec.de (hereinafter Internet pages) are an offer of METALLWERK ELISENHÜTTE GMBH (MEN). MEN is pleased by your visit to our Internet pages and your interest in our company, our products and our services. The protection of your personal data during recording, processing and usage on the occasion of your visit to our homepage is an important issue. Despite careful control of content, we assume no liability for external links, since we do not cause the transmission of this information, did not select the addressee of the information and did not select or change the transmitted information. The recording, processing and usage of your data is carried out within the scope of the legal regulations. In the following, we explain which information we record during your visit and how it is used.

Every time a user accesses a page of the MEN GmbH Internet pages and every time a file is requested, data about this procedure is stored in a protocol file. The storage of the data exclusively serves internal system-related and statistical purposes. In detail, the following data records are stored for each request:

• name of the requested file,
• date and time of the request,
• transferred data quantity,
• report of whether the request was successful,
• description of the type of web browser used,
• requesting domain.

Personal data extending beyond this scope such as your name, address, telephone number or e-mail address are only recorded if you provide the information voluntarily, for example as part of a questionnaire, in particular for: making e-mail contact, using a contact form, or when executing a contract or a registration desired by you, in particular for: a newsletter subscription, catalog order.

Insofar as you have provided us with personal data, we will use these solely for the purpose of the technical administration of our websites and for the fulfillment of your wishes and requests, in particular for the execution of the contracts concluded with you or to answer your query.

A transfer, sale or other transmission of your personal data to third parties will not occur unless

• this is required for executing the contract,
• this is required for invoicing purposes,
• you have given your prior consent.

The personal data is deleted if you revoke your consent for storage, if knowledge of the data is no longer required for the purpose for which it was stored or storing the data is not permitted for other legal reasons.

Upon written request, we will gladly inform you of which personal data (e.g. name, address, telephone number, data of birth) we have stored.

When our Internet pages are accessed, automatically (not due to registration) created information, which can not be assigned to a certain person, is recorded (such as via an Internet browser or operating system; domain names of websites, from which access via a weblink occurs; number of visits; average time of visit; accessed pages). MEN GmbH uses this information to constantly improve and update the appearance of our Internet pages, thus increasing their attractiveness. When you visit our Internet Pages, it can occur that information originating from us can be stored on your computer in the form of a so-called "cookie", which allows us to automatically recognize your computer upon your next visit to our homepage. Cookies allow us to adapt our website to your wishes or to store your password so that you don't need to enter it every time. If you do not want us to recognize information again on your computer, please set your Internet browser to delete cookies from your computer, block all cookies or warn you before a cookie is stored. Java-Applets, ActiveX-Controls and JavaScript are used for the preparation of this Internet site. In case you do not want to use these auxiliary programs or active contents for reasons of security, then you should deactivate your corresponding browser setting.

These special notes about the concrete usage of personal data are based on the general privacy statement. Essential points of the latter are supplemented by these notes and made more concrete.

Insofar as we record your personal data, these will be used exclusively within the scope of the laws and for purposes which are provided as part of the corresponding consent for each concrete usage.

Using a contact form

Insofar as you do not explicitly specify otherwise in your query by contact form, the data provided by you in the contact form will be used exclusively for processing your contact. You personal data will only be stored for the purpose of reproducing the communication status for later repeated contact. A further-reaching usage of your personal data (e.g. for subscription to a newsletter) will only occur if you explicitly agree to this.

Depending on the purpose of the data collection, personal data recorded from you can also be transferred to our associated companies (Para. 15 ff. AktG [German Stock Corporation Act]) and/or third parties if and insofar as this is necessary for your agreed purpose. This particularly includes sales companies authorized by us and our other contractual partners for the maintenance and intensification of our customer relationship (third parties for a specific purpose). Beyond that, no personal information is given to other third parties.

Within the aforementioned scope, personal data can be transferred to our associated companies (§§ 15 ff. AktG) and/or third parties with a specific purpose, who live outside of the European Economic Area (EEA) and whose data protection level need not conform to the European standard. We will however ensure a data protection level at all times which is comparable to the data protection in the European Economic Area (EEA).
