Use of personal data you make available to us
Personal data such as your name, your address, telephone number, or electronic mail address are not collected unless you provide this data voluntarily.
We call your attention to the fact that transferring data in the Internet (for example, during communication by electronic mail) is subject to security breaches. It is not possible to completely protect such data against access by third parties.
However, INCREON GmbH takes all necessary precautions — to the extent technically possible — to protect the data from misuse from outside. In the process, measures such as encryption, firewalls, hacker defence programs, and manual security precautions are used. For most functions, the user also needs a personal password.
Inquiries and Contracts
Insofar as you have made personal data available to us, we use these solely for the purpose of technically administering the website and fulfilling your wishes and requests, in particular for processing a contract made with you, or for answering your inquiry.
If you have made inquiries through our contact form, the information from the contact form, including the contact data you have entered into the form, will be saved by us to process your inquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. The basis of law for this is Article 6 Section 1 Letter b of the General Data Protection Regulation (pre-contractual measures and performance of the contract).
Forwarding, selling, or otherwise transferring your personal data to third parties does not occur; excepting that:
- This is necessary to conclude the contract. Thus it can be necessary, for example, that for product orders, your address and order data are forwarded to our suppliers.
- This is necessary for billing purposes.
- You register or have registered as commercial agent. In this case your data will also be forwarded to the responsible association.
- You have previously consented to it.
The basis of law for this is Article 6 Section 1 Letter b of the General Data Protection Regulation (performance of the contract) and Article 6 Section 1 Letter a of the General Data Protection Regulation (consent).
Registration and Online Platforms
Users may register themselves for the online platform as {{principals1_neutral}} or commercial agents.
In the case of a registration as a commercial agent, a distinction is made between a registration as a member or non-member of the responsible organisation. Members of the responsible organisation must possibly provide their association affiliation and their member number. The indicated association checks the entry and then will activate the account. The personal data of unsuitable or unauthorised registrations will be deleted immediately. As soon as the activation has taken place, the user receives an electronic mail message. This serves to check the authorisation to use the platform. Non-members are immediately activated after a completed registration, but receive limited services to which special reference is made. The personal data of inappropriate or unauthorised registrations can be deleted by the sponsoring association. The sponsoring association is free to inform the person concerned of the deletion process.
By registering, the advertiser consents to receiving information from the operator of the platform, CDHeService GmbH, the sponsors of the platform (Associazione degli agenti commerciali in Italia) including their member associations, and expressly also the company INCREON GmbH as the leading service provider. This information is sent by electronic mail (email) and does not contain any advertising, but contains information about new functions and enhancements on the platform and also about services and offers of the operator and the sponsors. The personal data that we process for sending these informational emails are not made available to other third parties. You can cancel the receipt of these emails at any time through the respective sender (operator, sponsor, or service provider) with effect for the future.
The basis of law for this is Article 6 Section 1 Letter b of the General Data Protection Regulation (performance of the contract).
In order to fulfil the contractual agreements concerning the online platform and the provision of our services, we transfer data to third parties; in particular, we may publish the content posted by a user in his or her public profile.
The basis of law for this is Article 6 Section 1 Letter b of the General Data Protection Regulation (precontractual measures and performance of the contract).
Agents’ Directory
Only commercial agents are included in the Agents’ Directory. As a member of the responsible organisation you can search there for colleagues. In addition, you can also be found in the directory by foreign trade associations and institutions with which the responsible organisation is in contact, which are looking for commercial agents and independent sales companies for principals and manufacturers from their countries. This is an additional service to help commercial agents and sales companies find representations and help principals, manufacturers and suppliers find commercial agents and reps, sales agents and independent sales companies to represent their products.
Newsletter
If you would like to subscribe to the newsletter offered on the website, we need your electronic mail address and information that permits us to check that you are the owner of the indicated electronic mail address and agree to receiving the newsletter. More data will not be collected. We use these data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not forward them to third parties.
The basis of law for this is Article 6 Section 1 Letter f of the General Data Protection Regulation (protection of legitimate interests: verification of the owner of the email address) and Article 6 Section 1 Letter a of the General Data Protection Regulation (consent).
In your profile, you may revoke at any time, with effect in the future, the issued consent to store the data, the electronic mail address, and their use for sending the newsletter.
Other Advertising and Customer Relations Management
Without your permission, we use personal data only within the legally permitted scope; that means, for customer relations management and sending advertisements by mail. We do not use your electronic mail address, fax number, or telephone number for advertisements without your express consent. The basis of law for this is Article 6 Section 1 Letter f of the General Data Protection Regulation (protection of legitimate interests).
You can object to the use of your data for the purpose of direct marketing at any time and then will not receive further advertisements from us.
