Note on security
We endeavour to take all possible security measures to store your personal data in such a way that it is not accessible either to third parties or to the general public.

If you call up internet pages of our website provided with such a plug-in, a connection to the Google server will be made, and the plug-in will be displayed through communication to your browser in the web page.

Despite the greatest care in the selection of links to other suppliers, we are unable to accept any responsibility or liability for the contents and data security of the websites of other suppliers. This also applies to the use of Google Maps (see “Use of Google Maps” above).
No passing on of personal date to third parties, and exceptions to this rule
Your personal data will not be passed on to third parties, unless HOPPECKE is obliged to take such action by law or by official or judicial order. We would however point out that data transmission over the internet may be recorded by other internet operators or users.
Right of access, revocation, deletion and alteration of personal data
Your trust is important to us. We therefore wish to justify ourselves to you at any time with regard to the processing of your personal data.
You have at any time the right of access to stored data relating to you personally, to its origin and recipients, and to the purpose of the storage. For information on stored data, please contact our Data Protection Officer (lothar.pater@pater.de).
