To exercise your rights, please contact the office responsible at Vogt Plastic GmbH. Sending us an informal notification by email is sufficient for this purpose.

In this regard, you can, for example, request information about the purposes of the data processing; categories of personal data; categories of recipients to whom your personal data has been or will be disclosed; storage period; existence of a right to rectification, erasure, restriction on data processing or objection; existence of a right of complaint to the supervisory authority; origin of your data if it has not been collected by us; existence of automated decision-making, including profiling.

You are entitled to the immediate correction of inaccurate or to the completion of incomplete personal data.
c) Right to erasure ("the right to be forgotten")
You are entitled to the immediate erasure (“the right to be forgotten”) of your personal data if, for example, the purpose of the data processing is no longer necessary, if you withdraw your consent or if there is no legal basis for processing your personal data.
d) Right to restriction of processing your data
You are entitled to a restriction on the processing of your personal data, for example if the accuracy of the data is contested, how it is processed is unlawful and you decline to have it erased and instead request a restriction on how it is used and we no longer require this for the purpose of processing your data but you need it for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims or an objection to the processing has been lodged.

You are entitled to have personal data, which you have provided to us, handed over in a structured, standard and machine-readable format and transferred to another data controller if its processing is automated.

7. Protecting your data when visiting our website
This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content such as, for example, orders or requests, which you send to us as the site operator. You can identify an encrypted connection in that the browser address bar changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock icon in your browser bar.
If SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, the data that you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
8. Contact form
If you have requests sent to us using the contact form, your data from the enquiry form including the contact details specified there by you is stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in case of any follow-on queries.
We do not pass on this data without your consent.
This data is processed pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (b) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), insofar as your enquiry relates to the fulfilment of a contract or is necessary for the completion of pre-contractual arrangements. In all other cases, the processing of data is based on our legitimate interest in effectively handling the enquiries sent to us (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR) or based on your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR if it has been requested.” You can withdraw this consent at any time. Sending us an informal notification by email is sufficient to do so.
The lawfulness of the data processing operations completed up to the withdrawal of consent remains unaffected by this withdrawal. The data entered by you in the contact form remains with us until you request us to delete it, withdraw your consent to store it or there is no purpose for storing the data (e.g. after the handling of your request has been completed). Compelling statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected in this.
