PRIVACY POLICY
Protecting the privacy of every individual on the Internet is a crucial part of gaining and keeping the trust of our customers. Media-Saturn-Holding GmbH (MSH) hopes that the privacy policy outlined below serves as an indication of its commitment to protecting the security and privacy of your personal data.
1. Personal data The data collected during your visit to the MSH website is anonymous and is used for statistical purposes only. When you visit the MSH website, we do not collect any personal data about you (e.g. your name, address, telephone number or e-mail address) unless you voluntarily choose to provide us with this information (e.g. by registering or responding to a survey), you provide your consent, or if we are obliged to do so by law.
2. Purpose of use We only store your personal data if you provide your explicit consent beforehand, e.g. when establishing contact or obtaining information. This allows you to decide whether you wish to transfer the data you supply when registering or responding to a survey for storage and use by us. If you agree, MSH can use your data to respond to inquiries or to improve our services and products, for example.
MSH will collect, process and use the personal data supplied explicitly by you online only for the purposes communicated to you and will not disclose it to third parties, or only with your permission, unless disclosure
• is necessary to negotiate and perform a contract with you,
• is required by law or to comply with a government agency or court orders,
• is necessary to establish or preserve a legal claim or defense
and furthermore, if it
• is necessary to prevent misuse or other illegal activities, such as willful attacks on the MSH systems for maintaining data security or
• is carried out for any additional purpose that is directly related to the original purpose for which the personal data was collected.
MSH will not knowingly collect any personal data from children without insisting that they seek prior parental consent if required by applicable law. We will not use or disclose personal data about a child without prior parental consent.
3. Data protection on all MSH websites As a multinational company, MSH operates websites in different countries. Information which you supply to a website in one country can therefore be transmitted electronically to the server for this website or to a different country. In this case, we will protect your data by subjecting all our websites to the international data protection regulations described here. In addition, every MSH employee is obligated to protect confidential information and to observe our privacy policies.
4. Online-security MSH takes online security very seriously. Therefore the security mechanisms used to protect your data are checked and updated regularly to provide effective protection against abuse.
5. Which information may be gathered? • Automatically collected, non-personal, i.e. anonymous, data is sometimes collected when you access the MSH website (i.e. not when you register) and cannot be associated with a particular person (e.g. type of Internet browser and operating system used, domain name of the website from which you came, number of visits, average time spent on the site, pages viewed). We and our subsidiaries use this information to monitor the attractiveness of our websites and improve their performance and content.
• User registration is only performed with your express permission in order to provide you with, for example, the information you request, product information, news or press material. • Cookies are used to personalize content, to avoid you having to repeatedly enter the same information or to adjust information content to better suit your interests and needs. If you do not want us to recognize your computer the next time you visit the website, for example, please configure your Internet browser to prevent the use of cookies, block all cookies or to receive a warning before a cookie is stored.
• E-mail addresses are only stored with your express permission and are only used to make contact with you. Under no circumstances will we provide your e-mail address to third parties outside of the MSH Group. If you do not wish to receive e-mails or newsletters from us, you can cancel these at any time or upon receipt, and you may request that your personal data be deleted. When e-mail are sent, personal data may be transmitted to MSH automatically. MSH will of course treat this information confidentially. If, from the MSH website, you register for services provided by third parties outside of the MSH Group, it may be necessary to transmit some of your registration information to the service provider. This is performed within the context of the requested service and only with your consent.
• IP addresses are stored in anonymous form (i.e. the last of what is normally four sets of digits is truncated) for statistical purposes. When you visit our website, this allows us to recognize your domain name but not your allocated IP address.
6. Cancellation If you do not wish to receive further information from MSH via e-mail, you can cancel your permission at any time. If you wish be deleted from the e-mail distribution list or a registration database, all you have to do is send an e-mail to
info@media-saturn.com. However, you can cancel a newsletter or the sending of information via e-mail in a more convenient and secure manner by clicking on the link at the end of an e-mail and following the instructions.
