Data protection: your legal right - our obligation
Thank you for visiting our
website; we are pleased at your interest in the homepage of SAFEDOR. It is a
declared aim of SAFEDOR to take the protection of your private information seriously
during its processing, and to observe this principle in all of our business
processes. For this reason, in the following we outline the guidelines which
govern how SAFEDOR proceeds with personal data. You will find this "Privacy
Policy" and possibly other pertinent details on the acquisition, processing
and utilization of personal data wherever we ask you to provide such personal
information. In addition, we would like to point out that the SAFEDOR webpages
may contain links to the websites of other content providers that are not covered
by this Privacy Policy. We therefore recommend that you inform yourself about
the corresponding data-protection arrangements of such content providers.
1. Acquisition, Processing and Utilization of Data 
You can navigate anonymously in all of the public SAFEDOR webpages. Just what
information you give us during your visit remains up to you. We collect only
statistical data which cannot be traced back to you (so-called technical access
data); this is intended for improving the website (e.g. on the number of visitors
to each individual webpage) and also serves to identify possible problems with
our Internet content. The recorded information comprises the IP address, access
date and time, page accessed, and the size of any files transferred. This information,
which is intended only for internal use, has no reference to any particular
person. We only record data for person-related processing and utilization (known
as personal data, i.e. information that can be traced to you as an individual,
such as your name, address, telephone number and e-mail address) if you voluntarily
agree to provide such an input, and if you explicitly declare that you are in
agreement with such utilization - and insofar this is at all permissible by
law. In particular, on our webpages we offer several services with the following
distinct purpose, for which certain personal data are requested: (1): Request
for Proposal To use the Link “Request for Proposal”, you have to register
with a dedicated form. This information is stored at SAFEDOR in a database,
so that you can be identified and authenticated for later access.
2. Consent / Voluntary Basis
Without your explicit consent, there will be no automated acquisition, processing
or utilization of personal data from your Internet visit, other than for the
items detailed above. Any personal data you make available to us will be passed
on to persons or departments outside the SAFEDOR organisation only with your
explicit consent and only insofar as such recipients have entered into a commitment
with SAFEDOR to observe the applicable data-protection provisions. The data
can be used within the company for advertising purposes if you have not expressly
excluded such use. We shall observe the bounds prescribed by the Data Protection
Law and the Antitrust Law.
3. Right to Information and to Modification and Deletion of
Personal Data 
According to current valid legislation, you are entitled to enquire as to what
personal data we have stored about you. Furthermore, you have the right at any
time to withdraw your permission, wholly or in part, concerning the utilization
or processing of your personal data. In such a case, we shall delete the corresponding
data, provided that there are no legal grounds prohibiting us from doing so.
Please direct your request for information and any wishes regarding modification
or deletion of your personal data to our Data Protection Officer.
4. Security and Access Protection
Personal data and passwords are transferred between our webserver and your browser
in encrypted form. This procedure is supported by the current versions of the
browsers that are widely available. You are shown that the encryption mode has
been activated by means of a symbol (e.g. a closed padlock) in your browser
window or by indication that the HTTPS protocol is being used (right mouse-click
anywhere on a non-active part of the browser page, then click on Properties).
We advise you to transmit sensitive personal data only in encrypted form. If
required, SSL-capable browsers can be found at the homepage of the producer
of your operating system. The SAFEDOR network is protected against unauthorized
access by a state-of-the-art firewall. To access your data, staff of SAFEDOR
need access authorizations that must have been granted explicitly.
5. Modifications to the Privacy Policy
We must point out that, from time to time, it may be necessary to adapt and
modify this Privacy Policy to account for current developments. Please inform
yourself about the latest version of our data protection guidelines.
6. Personal Contact for Data Protection

Privacy Policy and the processing of your personal data, please contact our
