4. Contact via form on our Website

If you contact us using the “Contact” link provided on our website, you voluntarily provide infor-mation on your company, your name, phone number, E-Mail address, subject and your question.

Schloemer only saves and processes this personal information for internal purposes for the pur-pose of further communication and clarifying your requests.
We only transmit this data to other internal parties, in order to select the best possible contact per-son for your inquiry.

We also save the IP address assigned by your internet service provider, the date, and time of access in addition to the aforementioned personal information. We save this data because this is the only way to prevent misuse, illegal use, or copyright violations on our website.

We do not generally transmit this data to third parties unless we have a legal obligation to do so, or if such information is transmitted to pursue criminal or legal penalties.

In some cases, we may use data collected to acquire customers, to contact you via telephone, and potentially to send you information via e-mail. 

5. Recording general data and Information

How do we handle the data of potential customers or business partners?

If a contract is concluded between yourself and Schloemer, we may and must record and process some personal information (including requirements under the Commercial Code (HGB) and Ger-man Civil Code (BGB)).

Furthermore, if we need to process personal data, Schloemer also bases said processing on the law, including Article 6 of the DSGVO “Contractual Fulfilment” and “Legal Obligations”. If there is no further legal basis for processing, we generally obtain a declaration of consent from the affect-ed party.

In this manner, we ensure your personal data, such as your name, address, e-mail address, or tele-phone number, are processed in accordance with the requirements of the DSGVO and the new BDSG, as well as with relevant laws. 

Who records your data at Schloemer?

If we initiate or conclude a contract with you, only authorised Schloemer employees obligated to maintain confidentiality process your data. This is data voluntarily provided by you (see data cate-gories below).

If you are an employee of a company for which Schloemer customises goods (for example apply-ing names to articles of clothing), then we will receive your data from your employer. In this case, however, your company will be responsible for obtaining your declaration of consent that we may receive this data, and for ensuring that your data is handled in accordance with data privacy laws. Therefore, please contact the data privacy contact person in your company if you have any ques-tions.
Of course, we treat your data confidentially as well, and will inform you upon request what data we have received from your employer.
Recorded and processed categories of data:
For contact: refer to no. 4
For business partners and their employees: Address data, contract data, account Information

Who receives your data?

Internal recipients of your data include Schloemer employees involved in carrying out the specific business processes, such as commercial departments, accounting, invoicing, sales, and IT.

External recipients include public offices (agencies) that receive the data due to legal regulations, as well as credit institutions which receive it to process payments.

6. Contract data processing

If it is necessary to process personal information on a contract basis in certain contractual relation-ships with you (for example to apply names to articles of clothing), we will conclude a contract data processing agreement with you. This agreement will specify the obligations of the contractu-al parties or those entities commissioned by the contractor with acting in a manner that conforms with data privacy law.

7. Shipping retail goods and letters

Whenever it sends retail goods, letters, and other items by mail, Schloemer restricts information provided to the address data of the legal person. If further personal information is used on ad-dresses, Schloemer acts in accordance with applicable law, in particular Article 10 of the Constitu-tion - Postal Secrecy.
Whether your personal information is handled in a manner that conforms with data privacy law beyond this is no longer Schloemer’s responsibility or within our sphere of influence.

8. Routine deletion of personal data

Schloemer processes and saves personal information of its business partners only for the term necessary to achieve the purpose of saving (such as fulfil a contract) and in accordance with the legal regulations governing our purpose as a commercial entity.

If this purpose is no longer applicable, or if an archiving term specified by the responsible legisla-ture expires, personal information is routinely deleted in accordance with the law.

9. Cookies

This website use cookies (small text files that are placed on your computer) to personalise content and ads, to provide you a better experience and to analyse the traffic on this website. Cookies help us tailor the website to your personal needs. If you do not agree to the use of cookies, you should set your browser settings.

10. Transmission to non-EU member states

We do not currently transmit or provide personal information to recipients in third party countries (non-EU member states) or to other international organisations, nor do we plan to do so in the future.

11. Website Ford Lifestyle Collection

We use a link to the website 'Ford Lifestyle Collection'. For further information of data privacy and your rights we refer to Ford Lifestyle Collection by cyber-Wear Heidelberg GmbH, Dieselstraße 2, 69221 Dossenheim.

12. Data privacy management at Schloemer

Schloemer works in accordance with data privacy law and in compliance with the specifications of the DSGVO and new BDSG. Data privacy management involves documenting and managing:
- Lists of processing activities
- Technical and organisational measures
- Data privacy guidelines
- Secured file storage, archiving, and destruction
- IT security concept
- Data backup concept
- Risk analysis and Data privacy follow-up assessments

Furthermore, Schloemer completes training sessions and holds informational events to sensitise our employees to data privacy issues. The confidentiality obligations of all employees document this seamless training.
We also ensure that external contract data processors act in a manner conforming with data priva-cy law through additional contract data processing agreements. Furthermore, written declarations of consent from affected parties empower us to process personal information for certain purposes.

Schloemer regularly reviews observance of our data privacy policy and data privacy management documents to ensure they are correct and up to date. These documents are audited once annually by the Schloemer Data Protection Officer, and Schloemer’s entire data privacy policy is document-ed in the DPO’s annual data privacy report.
