OBUK – Doors for life

We take the protection of personal data very seriously. Which is why our activities are consistent with applicable legal provisions governing the protection of personal data and data security. Please read on to learn more about the type of information we might collect, what we do with it, and to whom we might make it available.

Personal information
Our websites do not record any personal information (e.g. names, addresses, telephone numbers or e-mail addresses) whatsoever unless you provide such information voluntarily (e.g. by registering, taking part in a survey) or you have consented to our recording the information or the appropriate legal provisions governing the protection of your information permit us to do so.

Purpose
We generally use the personal information you provide in order to respond to your queries, process your orders or enable you to access specific information or offers. In the interests of customer relationship management, we may also need to store your personal information to enable us to better respond to your needs or to improve our products and services; or we (or a third party acting on our behalf) may use this personal information to inform you about special OBUK offers that could be useful for your business activities or to conduct online surveys to enable us to tailor our products and services more closely to the needs and requirements of our customers. We will, of course, respect your decision if you do not wish to provide us with personal information for the purposes of supporting our customer relationship management (especially for direct marketing or market research purposes). We will neither sell your personal information to third parties nor market it to anyone else.

Use only for the defined purpose
OBUK will only record, process and use the personal information you provide online for the purposes indicated, unless the information is recorded, processed or used for a further purpose that is directly connected with the original purpose for which the information was recorded, to the extent necessary for preparing, negotiating and performing contracts with you, for complying with legal obligations or official or court directions, for justifying or protecting against legal claims or in defence of court actions or for the purpose of preventing misuse or other illegal activities, e.g. deliberate attacks on OBUK systems, in order to ensure the security of our data.

Communication or usage-related information
When you use telecommunication services to access our websites, communication-related information (e.g. internet protocol address) and/or usage-related information (e.g. when and how long you visited the website and the telecommunication services you used) are generated automatically. They may also allow conclusions to be drawn about personal information. Any recording, processing and utilisation of your communication and/or usage-related information that is absolutely necessary is fully compliant with all data protection regulations.

Automatic recording of non-personal information
Sometimes information is collected automatically (i.e. not through registration) when you access our websites.This information is not assigned to a specific individual (e.g. information on internet browser and operating system; domain name of the website you have just visited; number of hits; average time spent on the website; pages accessed). We use this information to determine how attractive our website is and to improve its performance capabilities and content.
