We would like to provide you with the following notes and information regarding the way that we carefully protect your private details and the extensive level of confidentiality when handling your data:

1. Description and scope of managing the data

There is a contact form on our website and it can be used to make contact electronically. If a user makes use of this facility, the data entered on the input form is sent to us and stored. This data involves:

• subject
• first name
• last name
• email address
• name of the company
• address of the company
• country/Region
• phone number
• details of your delivery
• free text
• time of the request
• IP address

Alternatively, it is possible to make contact via the email address that is made available. In this case, the user’s personal data that is sent with the email is stored.  

2. The purpose and legal basis of data processing

Within the scope of your contacting us, we process your personal data on the basis of the following legal principles for the following purposes:

The processing of the personal data from the contact form or your email serves us solely to process the contact and in case of follow-up questions. The legal basis for the processing of the data is our legitimate interest in answering your request in accordance with Article 6 Para. 1 f) of the GDPR and, if applicable, Article 6 Para. 1 b) of the GDPR, if your request is aimed at the conclusion of a contract.

The other personal data processed when the email is sent is used to prevent any misuse of the contact form and guarantee the security of our IT systems.  The legal basis for the processing of personal data is Article 6 Para. 1 f) of the GDPR.

3. The length of time that data is stored

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was gathered. This is the case for any personal data from the input form in the contact form and the data that is sent by email when the relevant conversation with the user has been concluded. The conversation has been ended when the circumstances suggest that the facts of the case in question have been finally resolved.

The personal data, which is also gathered during the sending procedure, is deleted after a period of seven days, at the very latest.

4. Recipients of the data

In our contact form you can select the topic on which you would like to make an inquiry. Inquiries on the topic "General" are handled by the central specialist department. If necessary, we will forward your inquiry to the responsible Rhenus company for internal processing. This company will process the data you have provided in order to contact you regarding your inquiry.

Enquiries on all other topics are automatically forwarded for internal processing to the stored contact mail of the relevant Rhenus company and processed there. This company will process the data you have provided in order to contact you regarding your inquiry.

5. Opportunity to object and to have the data removed

In the case of Article 6 Para. 1 f) GDPR, you can object to the processing of your personal data at any time. Please note that in this case your request cannot be processed further. You can declare your objection by sending an email to our email address given above.

You have the right to receive the personal data related to you, which you have made available to the controller, in a structured, conventional and machine-readable format.

When exercising this right, you also have the right to ensure that the personal data related to you is directly transferred from one controller to a different controller, if this is technically feasible. The freedoms and rights of other persons may not be impaired by this process.

The right to data portability shall not apply to any processing of personal data that is necessary to perform a task that is in the public interest or takes place in connection with exercising any state authority that has been transferred to the controller.

In this case we will no longer process your data. The latter does not apply if we can prove that there are compelling reasons for processing worthy of protection which outweigh your interests or if we need your data to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

If the personal data related to you is processed to provide direct marketing, you have the right to lodge an objection to the processing of the personal data related to you for the purpose of this kind of advertising at any time; this shall also apply to profiling, if it is connected to this kind of direct marketing.
