The protection of your personal data during the collection, processing and use of personal data during your visit to our homepage is very important to us. Your data are protected as part of statutory regulations. Below, we would like to clarify the extent to which personal data are processed on our website in compliance with Article 13 of the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR).
These data are only used for data security purposes, to improve our website and for error analysis based on Article 6 (1)f of the GDPR. For this purpose we collect the IP address of your computer in an anonymized form (truncated to remove the last three characters). You can visit our web pages without disclosing any personal information.
We would like to point out that data transmissions through the Internet (e.g. communication by email) can be subject to security intrusions. It is not possible to ensure seamless protection of data against interception by third parties. Any confidential data should be transmitted to us using a different means, e.g. by post.
Job applications
We accept applications via our application portal Onlyfy (https://onlyfy.com/). The email adress "sales@stahlwille-americas.com" is also available for submitting applications by email. If your dispatching email server supports the STARTTLS protocol, our email server will recognize the STARTTLS protocol and offer transport encryption. All applicant data is protected by us by the application of considerable technical and organizational effort according to the requirements of data protection law.
Contact form
Personal data (e.g. your name, address details and contact details), transmitted to us by you voluntarily, e.g. in connection with an enquiry or for some other reason, are stored by us and used exclusively for corresponding with you and only for the purpose for which you transferred them. These data are processed on the basis of Article 6(1)a; 6(1)f GDPR. In our downloads section, we collect and store personal data for a longer period to ensure your access is maintained over time and we can respond if you have queries about our products.
Newsletter
Through our website it is possible to register for a newsletter. When you subscribe, we will collect your personal data. To confirm that the newsletter subscription was, in fact, sent from your email address, we will send you a confirmation mail. We will not add you to the newsletter distribution list or send you the newsletter until you click the confirmation link. We log the fact that you have subscribed to the newsletter (IP address, date, time). You are free to cancel your subscription to the newsletter by contacting us: you can, for example, click the link included at the end of every newsletter. This information is based on Article 6(1)a GDPR.
Safe data transfer
To protect the security of your data during transmission, we use encryption methods representing the state of the art (such as SSL) via HTTPS.
Recipient of personal details
We sometimes commission external contractors to conduct or manage processes as part of our order management system.
In particular, we have commissioned external service providers to manage dispatch of the newsletters, host our website, manage additional services integrated in our website and manage online job applications.
The legal agreements reached with those service providers are in compliance with Article 28 GDPR, which defines data protection and data security provisions.
Data collection by Google Analytics

In exceptional circumstances, the complete IP address may be transferred to the Google servers in the USA and truncated there. We would like to point out that, on this website, the Google Analytics code has been modified to include "anonymizelp", which ensures the IP address is rendered anonymous.
On behalf of the data controller of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate how you used the site and compile reports on website activity and to render additional associated services to the data controller on website and Internet use.
