General information and mandatory information

Data protection

We are very pleased about your interest in our company. Data protection has a particularly high priority for the management of RSH Polymere GmbH. It is generally possible to use the RSH Polymere GmbH website without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to use our company's special services via our website, processing of personal data may become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, email address or telephone number of a data subject, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to RSH Polymere GmbH. By means of this data protection declaration, our company would like to inform the public about the type, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed about the rights to which they are entitled using this data protection declaration.

As the controller, RSH Polymere GmbH has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible for the personal data processed via this website.

We hereby point out that the provision of personal data is required by law in certain cases (e.g. tax regulations) or can result from contractual provisions (e.g. information about the contractual partner). For example, in order to conclude a contract, it may be necessary for the data subject/contractual partner to provide their personal data so that their request (e.g. order) can be processed by us. An obligation to provide personal data arises primarily when concluding contracts. If no personal data is provided in this case, the contract with the data subject cannot be concluded. Before the data subject provides personal data, the data subject can contact our data protection officer or the person responsible for processing. The data protection officer or the person responsible for processing then explains to the data subject whether the provision of the required personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract and whether the concerns of the data subject result in an obligation to provide the personal data or what consequences non-provision of the requested data has for the person concerned.

11. Existence of automated decision making
