We are pleased that you are interested in our homepage www.volz.de and our company.

The protection of your personal data when collecting, processing and useing it during your visit to our homepage is important for us. We have implemented technical and organizational measures to ensure that data protection regulations are observed by both us and external service providers.

In the present case we would like to inform you about the type, scope and purpose of the collection and use of your personal data provided to us as well as about their processing and use.

Collection and processing of data

Personal data is information about your identity. This includes e.g. information such as name, address, telephone number, email address. In general, you can visit our website without leaving any personal data, for example if you only want to find out more about our products and access the relevant pages. The accesses made to our homepage and to a file stored on the homepage are logged. The storage serves internal system-related and statistical purposes. The following information are logged: name of the file accessed, date and time of access, amount of data transferred, notification of successful access, web browser and requesting domain. However, no personal data is transmitted from you and this information is stored separately from any personal data that may be transmitted. Additionally, the IP addresses of the requesting computers are logged. In certain cases, however, we need your name and address and other information so that we can provide the desired services. This additional personal data is only recorded and saved if you provide this information voluntarily, for example in the context of a contact request, registration, application as an employee or potential supplier or for orders and their processing.

Purpose, use and disclosure of personal data

Insofar as you provide us with personal data, we only use it to answer and process your inquiries (orders and their processing, contact inquiries, etc.) in relation to advertising measures towards you in order to provide you with access to certain information or offers , or in the context of our supplier application portal for the introduction process of potential suppliers, strategic further development of the supplier relationship or use of information and communication systems as well as within the framework of legal requirements. We will only collect, process and use the personal data you provide online for the purposes communicated to you. Your personal data will only be passed on to third parties or otherwise transmitted if this is necessary for the purpose of carrying out the activities mentioned here, for example when Volz Gruppe GmbH engages service providers (for example, for the transport of the ordered goods) or if you beforehand have consented to the transfer. These third parties may not use the data for other purposes. Of course, we respect it if you do not want to give us your personal data to support our customer relationship (especially for direct marketing or for market research purposes). We only disclose personal data about customers or suppliers if we are legally obliged to do so, or if we are required to do so by a court decision or if the disclosure is necessary to enforce or protect our general terms and conditions or other agreements. This applies accordingly with regard to the storage of the data. The data is not disclosed for economic purposes. Our employees and the service companies commissioned by us are obliged by us to maintain confidentiality and to comply with the provisions of the current data protection laws. Access to personal data by our employees is restricted to those employees who need the respective data due to their professional tasks.

Data that we collect

With our contact form, you will be asked for the information listed there, e.g. name, first name, email address, etc. We only collect and use this data to contact you or to provide you with information material in accordance with the requirements specified there. If you would like to apply to us, we look forward to it. For the purpose of the application, please provide us with the usual personal data for an application, please by post or email. You then consent to the processing and transmission of your data to us exclusively for the application process. The personal data you provide will only be collected, processed and used for the purpose of processing your application. Your data will be treated confidentially. It will not be passed on to third parties without your explicit consent. If you do not want to maintain your online application, you can withdraw it at any time in writing. After completion of the application process or if you withdraw your application, your data transmitted in the application will be deleted in accordance with the applicable regulations. If we are currently unable to offer you a suitable job offer and we consider it possible that your application may be of interest to us at a later date, we would be happy to offer you to save your application even further. We will ask you for your consent in a separate e-mail or by post. You can object to this storage at any time, which means that your data will be deleted immediately and irrevocably.
