2. Data Protection Officer

Hatron GmbH is not required to appoint a Data Protection Officer under Art. 37 GDPR and § 38 BDSG, as we do not engage in large-scale processing of special categories of personal data or systematic, large-scale monitoring as our core activity.

3. General Information on Data Processing

We process personal data in accordance with:

Personal data is processed only where legally permitted.

4. Hosting and Content Delivery

Our website is hosted using Hostinger Website Builder, a service provided by:

Hostinger International Ltd. 61 Lordou Vironos Street, 6023 Larnaca, Cyprus

When you visit our website, the hosting provider automatically processes technical data necessary to deliver the site, including your IP address, browser type, and access timestamps. Static assets (images, scripts) may be delivered via a content delivery network, which may involve transferring your IP address to servers located outside the European Economic Area, including the United States.

Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in technically reliable and secure delivery of our website). Where applicable, data transfers outside the EEA are based on the EU Standard Contractual Clauses or an adequacy decision such as the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework.

5. Server Log Files

When you visit our website, your browser automatically transmits certain data to our server:

• IP address

• Date and time of access

• Browser type and version

• Operating system

• Referrer URL

This data is used to ensure website security and stability.

Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest).

6. Contact, Inquiry, and “Become a Reseller” Forms

If you contact us via email, phone, or a contact/inquiry form on our website (including the “Become a Reseller” form), we process:

• Name

• Company name

• Email address

• Phone number (if provided)

• Country / intended market

• Message content and any details you provide about your business

This data is used solely to evaluate and respond to your inquiry, including assessing your suitability as a reseller partner.

Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (pre-contractual communication), or Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in responding to inquiries) where no contract is being prepared.

Data submitted through these forms is stored only as long as necessary to process your inquiry and is deleted or anonymized if no business relationship results, unless statutory retention obligations apply.

7. Communication via WhatsApp Business

We offer WhatsApp as a contact channel for inquiries. If you contact us via WhatsApp, your phone number and the content of your messages are processed both by us and by WhatsApp Ireland Limited (4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland), part of the Meta group of companies.

WhatsApp may transfer data, including to servers in the United States, and processes it according to its own privacy policy and terms, available at https://www.whatsapp.com/legal. We have no influence over WhatsApp's further processing of this data once it leaves our systems.

Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent, given by voluntarily initiating contact via WhatsApp). You may withdraw consent at any time by ending the conversation and contacting us through another channel instead, such as email.

8. Business Customers and Partners (B2B)

Within business relationships, we process:

• Company data

• Contact person details

• VAT number

• Billing and delivery addresses

• Transaction data

Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (contract performance).

Data is stored in accordance with German commercial and tax retention obligations (up to 10 years).

9. Cookies and Consent

Our website uses cookies to ensure functionality and improve user experience.

We use the cookie consent banner built into Hostinger Website Builder, the platform used to operate this website, provided by Hostinger International Ltd. (61 Lordou Vironos Street, 6023 Larnaca, Cyprus). The banner allows you to accept all cookies, reject all non-essential cookies, or manage your preferences by category. By default, no non-essential cookies are set until you provide consent. You can change your choice at any time using the cookie settings link in the website footer.

Non-essential cookies (e.g., analytics, marketing) are only activated after your explicit consent via this banner.

Legal basis:

• Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent)

• § 25 TTDSG

You may withdraw your consent at any time by adjusting your cookie settings.

10. Use of Google Analytics

Our website uses Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by:

Google Ireland Limited Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland

Google Analytics uses cookies to analyze website usage and improve our services. Information generated may include pages visited, time spent on the site, and general technical/location data.

Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG (consent, given via the cookie banner) — not legitimate interest, since Google Analytics sets recognition cookies and requires consent under current German guidance.

IP Anonymization

We use Google Analytics with IP anonymization enabled. Your IP address is shortened within the European Union before further processing.

Data Transfer to Third Countries

Google may process data on servers located in the United States. Data transfers are based on the EU–U.S. Data Privacy Framework or Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC).

Data Retention

Analytics data is stored for a maximum of 14 months and then automatically deleted.

Processor Agreement

We have concluded a data processing agreement (Auftragsverarbeitungsvertrag) with Google for the use of Google Analytics, in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR.

Withdrawal of Consent

You may withdraw your consent at any time by adjusting your cookie settings, or by installing the browser opt-out plugin available at: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

11. Data Retention

Personal data is stored only as long as necessary for the respective purpose or as required by statutory retention obligations.

12. Your Rights Under GDPR

You have the right to:

• Access (Art. 15 GDPR)

• Rectification (Art. 16 GDPR)

• Erasure (Art. 17 GDPR)

• Restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR)

• Data portability (Art. 20 GDPR)

• Object to processing (Art. 21 GDPR)

If processing is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest), you have the right to object at any time, for reasons arising from your particular situation. If you object, we will stop processing your data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, or the processing is needed to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

If your data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time, without needing to state a reason; we will then stop using your data for that purpose.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

Responsible supervisory authority:

State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW), Germany

13. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse, including SSL/TLS encryption for data transmitted through our website.
