Notice regarding data privacy
We are delighted that you have visited our website and would like to thank you for your interest in our company and our products. Safeguarding the privacy of personal data is our highest priority. As a result we would like to take this opportunity to advise you of the data which we collect and when this occurs, and of how we handle your personal data
Data collection and data use
Personal data is information which can be used to determine a particular individual. This includes e.g. your name, address, e-mail address or your telephone number.
Our website can generally be used anonymously, i.e. with no personal data being collected. Information of a general nature is collected automatically if you access the website and content at www.linnetindustries.com. This information e.g. your IP address includes the type of web browser, the operating system used, your internet service provider's domain name and similar data. This information does not permit any inferences of any kind to be made to you as an individual. It is evaluated by us purely for statistical purposes.
No personal information is collected unless you provide this information voluntarily, e.g. within the scope of registration, implementation of an agreement or of any other queries.
Handling of personal data
We use the personal data communicated by you exclusively for the purposes of administering the website, handling your query or processing an agreement entered into with you. Provided that you have given your express consent or have not stated any objection in cases where the statutory regulations provide for this, we shall also use this data for our own marketing purposes, such as for sending a newsletter.
Your personal data is not forwarded, sold or otherwise transmitted unless this is a mandatory requirement for processing the agreement. This is the case for example with queries related to product deliveries. Based on the configuration of the sales system these are forwarded by Linnet Industries to the relevant specialist dealer responsible within the Linnet Industries sales system in order for the latter to answer your query. These dealers are part of the Linnet Industries sales system and are selected carefully as well as authorised in written form. The dealers are bound to our instructions and are controlled by us regularly. The dealers will not forward your data to third parties. For queries we provide you with the option on our site of connecting with us via e-mail and/or via a contact form (info@linnetindustries.com). The information provided by you as part of the query is saved purely for the purposes of processing the query and is deleted once the query or the order has been processed in full. Prior to using the contact forms on the Linnet Industries homepage you must state your agreement with the Data Privacy Policy and with the forwarding of your query and processing of this by a Linnet Industries specialist dealer in order to be able to send this form.
Linnet Industries Newsletter
Personal data is collected in particular if you register for our e-mail newsletter. Following registration we will send you an e-mail with an activation link with an invitation to confirm the registration. This allows us to ensure that you are the actual owner of the e-mail address provided and have provided your agreement to receiving the newsletter.
With the registration for and activation of the newsletter we also save your IP address and the date of registration in addition to the personal data provided by you. This is saved purely for evidential purposes in the event that a third party misuses your e-mail address and registers for receipt of the newsletter without your knowledge.
The data collected for this purpose is used purely for our own advertising purposes in the form of the Linnet Industries e-mail newsletter, provided that you have given your express consent for this
The data is not forwarded to third parties
You may cancel the newsletter at any time.
