Information on the collection of personal data
This policy provides information about the collection of data relating to you (‘personal data’) when using our website. The ‘controller’ as per the GDPR and other national data protection laws and regulations who determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data is:
Alfred Müller AG
Neuhofstrasse 10

When you contact us by email, the personal data you provide will be stored by us in order to answer your questions. We delete the data generated in this context once we are no longer required to store it, or we restrict its processing if there are any statutory retention requirements.
If we use commissioned service providers for individual functions of our service or want to use your data for marketing purposes, we will notify you of the relevant procedures that are described in detail below. We also provide information on the criteria for the storage duration that have been laid down.
Legal basis for data processing
We only process your personal data to the extent that this is necessary to provide a functional website as well as our content and services. Your personal data will generally only be processed after we have obtained your consent. The exception to this are cases where, for reasons of fact, it is not possible to obtain your prior consent and the processing of data is permitted by law.
Insofar as we obtain your consent for the processing of your personal data, Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing. If the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company and if your interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms do not outweigh the first aforementioned interest, Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.
Data erasure and storage period
Your personal data will be erased or locked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. The data may also be stored if this is provided for by directives, laws or other regulations to which the controller is subject. The data will also be locked or erased if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned provisions expires, unless there is a need to store the data for a longer period in order to conclude a contract or perform a contract.

Use of Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. (Google). Google Analytics uses cookies that are stored on your computer and enable your use of the website to be analysed. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, if IP anonymisation is activated on this website, your IP address will be truncated beforehand by Google within Member States of the European Union or in other countries that are
Contracting Parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity and provide the website operator with other services associated with website and internet use.
Google does not combine the IP address transmitted to Google Analytics by your browser with other data.
You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser software settings accordingly; please note, however, that in this case you may not be able to make full use of all of the functions of this website. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link:http://tools.google.com/dlpage….
This website uses Google Analytics with the extension ‘_anonymizeIp()’. As a result, truncated IP addresses are processed, which means that correlation to a person can be ruled out. Insofar as the data collected about you contains a personal reference, this will be immediately excluded and the personal data will be erased immediately.
We use Google Analytics to analyse and regularly improve the use of our website. We can use the statistics obtained to improve our offering and make it more interesting for you as a user.

Use of Google Tag Manager
Our website uses the Google Tag Manager tool. Google Tag Manager allows website tags to be managed via a single interface. Google Tag Manager does not collect personal data, but triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If it has been disabled at domain or cookie level, it will remain in effect for all tracking tags that are implemented using Google Tag Manager.
Data security
We take technical and organisational measures to protect our website and other systems against the loss, destruction, access, alteration or distribution of your data by unauthorised persons. However, in spite of regular controls, complete protection against all risks is not possible.
The industry encryption standard SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is used in some areas of the website. This ensures the confidentiality of your personal information over the internet.
