uvex Internet Privacy Policy

We know you attach great importance to the security of your personal information. Protecting any personal data you make available to us, and ensuring it is used solely for the purpose intended, is our number one priority. It therefore goes without saying that we always abide by the legal requirements set out in the German Data Protection Act (DSG) and the German Telemedia Act (TMG). The information given below provides details on what data we store and when, and how we use it. However, please be aware that this privacy policy statement does not apply to links to other companies that do not belong to the uvex group.

Data collection

Any visit you make to our website will be logged by an appropriate third-party service provider. In addition to recording the date and time of your visit, this log also stores information relating to your Internet browser, your surfing behavior within our websites and your IP address. It is not generally possible to personally identify a specific individual using the data collected, nor would we wish to do so. This anonymized data is merely gathered in order to help us continuously improve our Internet presence. You will find further information relating to our third-party service provider on our Legal Notices page. We will not use your personal information for any other purpose, nor will we pass it on to third parties.

We further promise that we will only store your personal information if you yourself have provided it to us, for example by completing a registration form or online application, or by entering into a contract with us. In such instances, the relevant input forms will explain why we require the data in question.

Data processing

Any personal information you make available to us via a website or e-mail will be used exclusively for the purpose of correspondence with yourself, and then only for the specific purpose for which it was originally provided. The data you provide will be forwarded solely to the relevant department within our parent company, or, if appropriate, to other members of the uvex Group.

We guarantee we will not forward your personal information to third parties unless we are required to do so by law.

Data storage

We will only store data that is provided to us for as long as it is needed to fulfill the intended purpose. Wherever statutory retention periods apply, these will be observed.

Should you decide you no longer wish your personal information to be stored with us, we will delete the data we have stored at your request. Likewise, should you wish to make any changes to your personal information, we will amend our records in accordance with your instructions.

Cookies

Cookies are small text files that we send to your computer’s hard drive via your web browser. They are used to control the connection during your visit to our websites and enhance your personal online experience.

We currently use non-persistent (session) cookies, which are deleted at the end of every session when you close your browser. You can configure your browser to routinely restrict or disable the use of cookies, or to warn you and request permission before accepting them.
 

Viewing your personal data

You may request information regarding the personal data we have stored about you at any time. To make such a request, please contact our company data protection officer in writing and attach proof of your identity (copy of your personal ID card or passport).

 

Updating our privacy policy statement

We will update this privacy policy to reflect the introduction of new products, changes to our websites, amendments to pertinent legislation and/or further developments in IT security. We therefore reserve the right to alter or modify this statement as required. Accordingly, we advise you to revisit this page regularly in order to keep abreast of any future changes to our privacy policy.
