Thank you for visiting our website and your interest in our company and our products. The protection of your personal data and of your right of personality is very important to us. We, the Sponeta GmbH, take the protection of your personal data very seriously and strictly adhere to the rules and regulations of the Data Protection Act. The following statement provides an overview on the way how we ensure this protection and which kind of data we collect and for which purpose.

We are always endeavouring to improve the offers on our website. For this reason we collect some data referring your visit on our website (Server Log Files information) that is sent to us via your browser.

This includes:

• Browser type/ version
• Operating system used
• Referrer URL (website visited before) 
• Host name of the accessing computer (IP address) 
• Time of server inquiry.

With this, your IP address is anonymised. We only get to know the date, time and duration of your visit, which browser and which operating system you use, from which website you access our online services and from which country you visit our websites.

However, by means of the information available to us it is not possible to allocate this data to a specific person. We only use this technical access information to improve the attractiveness and operability of our website and, if necessary, to recognise technical problems on our website as early as possible. In addition, the use of your IP-address is technically mandatory to be able to display our website to you. Otherwise, you can use nearly our entire web offer without being forced to enter your personal data.

According to the principle of data reduction and data economy, we collect, save and use personal data only when it is required for the purpose desired by you or you have provided us with data of your own accord.

We use your personal data to be able to process your order, to reply on your inquiry, or to provide you access to special information and offers.

Your personal data is only processed and used for the purpose for which you made it available and it is only transferred to the business partners in the extent required for order processing.

Data is not transferred to innocent third parties without your authorisation.

If it is necessary, due to statutory regulations, to save your data for service provision or for customer care purposes, this will only take place within the framework of the obligation to preserve business records and provide documentation while considering data economy.
