Privacy

As the operator of the www.reederei-gerdes.de website, we take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We handle your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

The use of our website is generally possible without providing personal data. If personal data (e.g. name, address or e-mail address) is collected on our pages, this is carried out on a voluntary basis, where possible. Such data will not be disclosed to third parties without your express consent.

We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) can be subject to security gaps. A complete protection of the data against access by third parties is not possible.

Server log files

Upon accessing our website, the provider automatically collects information from your browser and stores it in so-called server log files. This information includes, for example, the type and version of the browser used, the operating system used, the domain name of your Internet service provider, the date and time of the request and similar information. This is exclusively information that does not allow any conclusions about you. We statistically evaluate anonymous information of this kind in order to optimise our websites and the embedded technology. The data collected will not be disclosed to third parties or merged with other data sources.

We reserve the right to subsequently review this data should we become aware of concrete indications of unlawful use.

Cookies

We use so-called cookies on our websites. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer by a web server and saved by your browser. They serve to make our offer more user-friendly and effective.

Cookies do not damage your computer. They do not contain viruses and cannot be used to launch programs. So-called session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your session. Other cookies remain stored on your computer and enable us to recognise your browser the next time you access our site.

By default, Internet browsers are set to accept cookies. You can disable the use of cookies in the settings of your browser or obtain information about the storage of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases. You can delete saved cookies via your browser. Please use the help features of your browser to learn how to change these settings.

You can also use our website without cookies. However, the functionality of the website may then be limited.

SSL encryption

We use SSL encryption to protect your data during the transmission of confidential content, e.g. requests that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognise this by the lock symbol in the browser address bar and by the address beginning with “https://”.

If SSL encryption is enabled, data that you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Objection to advertising e-mails

We hereby object to the use of contact data published within the scope of the legal notice obligation for the dispatch of unsolicited advertising and information material. The operators of these pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action against unsolicited mailing of advertising material e.g. through spam e-mails.

Changes to our privacy policy

We reserve the right to amend this privacy policy from time to time to ensure that it always complies with current legal requirements or to implement changes to our services in the privacy policy, e.g. when introducing new services. Your next visit will then be subject to the new privacy policy.
