Chapter 3 of the GPDR gives you the following rights in connection with the processing of your personal data:
You have the right to obtain information as to whether or not we are processing your personal data. Where this is the case, you have the right to obtain access to this personal data and other information relating to processing (article 15 of the GDPR). Please note that this right of access may be restricted or excluded in certain cases.
Should personal data relating to you be incorrect (no longer correct) or incomplete, you have the right to obtain rectification and, if applicable, completion of this data (article 16 GDPR).
If the legal requirements are met, you have the right to obtain erasure of your personal data (article 17 GDPR) or restriction of processing of this data (article 18 GDPR). The right to erasure pursuant to article 17, paragraphs 1 and 2 of the GDPR does not apply, for example, if processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of public authority (article 17, paragraph 3, letter b GDPR).
What is more, you have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you (article 21 GDPR). We will no longer process your personal data following your objection, provided the legal requirements are met.
You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. The withdrawal of consent is only effective for the future. This means that the withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (article 51 GDPR) in relation to the processing of your personal data.
In principle, you may lodge your complaint with any supervisory authority. However, we recommend you contact the following supervisory authority (which, in principle, is responsible for Us):

We reserve the right to update the privacy notice to reflect changes in legislation or changes in service or data processing. However, this applies only to statements relating to data processing. If the consent of users is required or parts of the privacy notice contain provisions concerning the contractual relationship with users, changes will only be made with their approval. We encourage users to review this privacy notice periodically for any updates.
In principle, We will process your personal data only to the extent this is necessary for the purposes specified below.
We will process your personal data to the extent necessary to guarantee comprehensive customer support. We are constantly striving to improve our plants, solutions and services and would like to ensure that our standard of customer care currently meets your expectations and will continue to do so in future.
What is more, we will process your personal data to establish and manage our concrete contractual relationships. In such cases, the specific purpose of processing is determined by the respective service relationship with you.
It may also be necessary to process your personal data for other purposes such as electronic communication or for the purpose of our Online Offer.
Should you contact us via the contact form, the information you provide will be used to process and handle your contact request. The information you provide may be saved in our customer relationship management system ("CRM system"), or a comparable system for handling requests, and may have to be retained to comply with statutory retention periods.
Using our Online Offer usually involves the processing of your personal data, such as your IP address and/or information relating to the duration and date of your access.
Processing on the grounds of legitimate interests will only be taken into consideration in cases where our legitimate interests prevail. In such cases, it may be necessary to process your personal data for administrative reasons or to protect our IT systems. What is more, we may need to process your personal data on the grounds of statutory requirements. Such an obligation may derive from the obligation to keep adequate accounting records, for example.
In this context, we need to process the following personal data in particular:
We only use technically necessary cookies in connection with our Online Offer. Such cookies ensure that our Website functions correctly. Processing is based on the respective national provisions relating to article 5, paragraph 3 of Directive 2002/58/EC (technical necessity). If users do not wish cookies to be stored on their computer, they are requested to deactivate the corresponding option in the system settings of their browser. Stored cookies can be deleted in the system settings of the browser. The exclusion of cookies may lead to functional restrictions of this Online Offer. We only use the following, technically necessary cookies, which are not accessible to third parties:

| Name: cookieconsent_status | Provider: MARTIN GmbH | Purpose: cookies for saving opt-in decisions | Lifetime: 1 year |
We will process your personal data only in compliance with the applicable data protection requirements. This means in particular that your personal data will not be processed without legal permission. In other words, We will process your personal data primarily if this is necessary to provide our contractual services (e.g. to process orders) and online services, if required by law, where consent has been obtained, or on the grounds of our legitimate interests.
Should you give Us your consent to the processing of your personal data in specific cases, these will be processed on the legal basis of article 6, paragraph 1, sentence 1, letter a of the GDPR. For example, We will process any supplementary information you voluntarily provide when contacting Us exclusively on the basis of your consent.
Should it be necessary to process your personal data to establish or manage a contractual relationship with you, We will process your personal data on the basis of article 6, paragraph 1, sentence 1, letter b of the GPDR.
In certain cases, We are obliged by law to process your personal data. In such cases, the legal basis for processing is article 6, paragraph 1, sentence 1, letter c of the GPDR.
Should We process your personal data on the grounds of our overriding legitimate interests, we will do so on the legal basis of article 6, section 1, sentence 1, letter f of the GDPR.
We process your personal data partly on the grounds of legitimate interests. Your personal data will only be processed on the grounds of our legitimate interests if this is necessary and if our interests prevail in individual cases.
Where We rely on this legal basis for processing, our legitimate interest may lie in particular in the analysis and optimization, as well as the economic operation and security, of our Online Offer.
MARTIN will neither sell your personal data, nor offer any financial incentives in exchange for your personal data. MARTIN may transfer certain categories of personal data relating to you to the following categories of third parties for the purposes specified in this privacy notice:
We normally process your personal data in the European Union. Data will be transferred to third countries in individual cases only if the recipient offers an adequate level of data protection (for example, if the EU commission has decided that an adequate level of protection is ensured, or if adequate safeguards have been provided, for example by using the standard contract clauses of the EU commission), users have given their consent or any other legal permission has been obtained.
The data we hold will be erased as soon as it is no longer necessary for its intended purpose, provided there are no statutory retention obligations to the contrary. For example, data that has to be held to comply with trade or tax legislation will be stored for the respective retention periods required by law.
