We use cookies on our website to make our website more user-friendly and functional. Some cookies remain stored on your device.

These are small text files that are sent from our web server to your browser and stored on your computer’s hard drive. No personal data is stored, only an individual pseudonym. This information is used, for example, to recognize you when you navigate our website and to make navigation easier for you.

Depending on their purpose and function, cookies are divided into the following categories:

• Cookies that are technically necessary to ensure the technical operation and basic functions of our website. This type of cookie is used, for example, to maintain your settings while you navigate the website, or to ensure that important information is retained throughout the session (e.g., login, shopping cart).
• Statistical cookies to understand how users interact with our website by collecting and analyzing information anonymously. This provides us with valuable insights to optimize both the website and our products and services.
• Marketing cookies to set targeted advertising activities for users on our website.

The legal basis for the use of technically necessary cookies is based on our legitimate interest in the technically flawless operation and smooth functionality of our website in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. According to Section 25 (2) No. 2 TDDDG, it is not necessary to obtain consent for these cookies, as their use is necessary to provide important functions of the website.

The use of statistical and marketing cookies is based on the consent you have previously given in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent to the use of cookies at any time for the future in accordance with Art. 7 (3) GDPR. Consent is voluntary. If it is not given, there will be no disadvantages.

Further information about the cookies we actually use (in particular their purpose and storage period) can be found in this privacy policy and in the information about the cookies we use in our cookie consent manager.

We also use local storage functions (also known as “local storage”) on our website. This involves storing data locally in your browser’s cache, where it remains even after you close your browser—unless you clear the cache or it is session storage—and can still be read.

Third parties cannot access the data stored in local storage.

If you do not want data to be stored in local storage, you can control this in your browser settings. Please note that this may result in functional restrictions.

On our website, we have a section called “Wöhler Power Partner Program” that is only accessible to registered users after they have created a customer account.

As part of the registration process, we process the following personal data for the following purposes:

• Customer group
• Company
• First name / Last name
• Birthday (for a personalized birthday gift certificate)
• SEPA Direct Debit Mandate

There is no contractual/legal obligation to provide your data when registering/using the area requiring registration.

The legal basis for processing your data in connection with the use of the registration-required area can be found in the section “Purposes for which personal data is processed and the legal basis for processing.”

As a registered user, you can log in to our website with your access data and, after successful login, gain access to the content of the area requiring registration.

If you have subscribed to our newsletter, we will use your email address and the voluntary information you have provided about yourself to send you our newsletter on a regular basis. To receive our newsletter, all you need to do is provide your email address.

At the end of each newsletter, there is a link that you can use to edit your subscription details or unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time. You can also cancel your subscription by sending us a message using the contact details provided in the legal notice. When you register for the newsletter with an email address that is not already registered to receive our newsletter, an email will be sent to you in a double opt-in procedure to confirm your subscription. The subscription is only activated after you confirm it by clicking on a link in this confirmation email. This procedure is carried out for legal reasons to ensure that the owner of the email address has requested the subscription as the data subject.

When you subscribe to the newsletter, we store the date of registration. This is necessary for verification purposes in the event of possible misuse of the email address used for registration.

The newsletters are personalized so that we can see whether a newsletter has been opened by a recipient and whether any of the articles contained in the newsletter have been accessed. The personal data collected in this way is stored and evaluated in order to optimize our offering and to be able to tailor the content of future newsletters even better to the interests of our subscribers.

Our website contains links to other websites. We have no influence on whether their operators comply with data protection regulations. Despite careful content control, we assume no liability for the content of external links. The operators of the linked pages are solely responsible for their content.

On the social networks listed below, we provide you with opportunities to find out more about us and our offerings and to get in touch with us via fan pages (e.g., on Facebook, Instagram), accounts, or channels.

Below you will find information about what data we or the respective social network or social media service process about you in connection with your access to and use of the respective website.

If you contact us via the respective social network, we regularly process your user name through which you contact us and, if necessary, store other data you have provided to the extent necessary to process/respond to your inquiry.

The legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR (safeguarding our legitimate interests).

We may receive automatically generated statistics relating to our accounts from the operators of the social media platforms on which we have a presence. These statistics contain the following data in particular:

• Number of page views
• Information about the “Like” function
• Information about page activity and post interactions, reach
• Information about video views
• Information on the proportion of men and women among visitors to our social media presence.

However, these statistics are limited to aggregated and non-personal data, meaning that you would not be identifiable to us based on the data contained in the statistics.

You do not need to be a member of the respective social network to view our social media presence. Nor is a user account for the respective social network required.

In addition to the data of (logged-in) members of the respective network, platform operators also collect and process data from visitors to the respective social media website who do not have a user account and are not logged in. This may include, for example, technical data required to display the website to you. In addition, cookies and similar technologies may also be used by platform operators, over which we have no control.

Details regarding your personal data processed by the respective social media platform can be found in the privacy policy of the respective social network. Depending on the provider, you will find the corresponding links to the privacy policies of the individual platform operators in this privacy policy, insofar as we provide provider-specific information below.

If you wish to use the functions offered on the respective social media presence (e.g., comment function, sharing content, like function, messenger function, etc.), this is only possible if you have registered with the respective social network and provided your personal data.

We have no influence on the data processing carried out by social networks in connection with your use of them.

According to our information, your data is processed by social networks in particular for the purpose of analyzing usage behavior using cookies and similar technologies in order to present you with advertising based on your interests both within and outside the respective social network on the basis of these analyses. In this context, it cannot be ruled out that your data may also be stored by social networks outside the EU/EEA and passed on to third parties (e.g., foreign authorities and other public bodies).

Information on the exact scope, purposes of processing your personal data, storage period, and deletion, as well as guidelines on the use of cookies and similar technologies in the context of registration and use of social networks, can be found in the privacy policies and cookie guidelines of the social networks. There you will find, among other things, information about your rights and options for revocation and objection.

The following link will take you to our Facebook page, for which we are jointly responsible with Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, based in Dublin (Ireland), for certain functions (see below) in accordance with Art. 26 GDPR:

Meta Platforms Ireland Limited is a subsidiary of Meta Platforms, Inc. (formerly Facebook Inc.), headquartered in Menlo Park, California, USA (Meta Platforms).

When you visit our Facebook page mentioned above, Meta Platforms collects, among other things, your IP address and other information that Meta Platforms stores on your computer in the form of cookies in order to provide us, as the operator of the Facebook pages, with statistical information about the use of the Facebook page.

Meta Platforms provides more detailed information on data processing in this context at the following link: https://de-de.facebook.com/help/pages/insights.

In joint responsibility with Meta Platforms pursuant to Art. 26 GDPR, we analyze how you use our fan page (Page Insights feature). Meta Platforms provides the information required under the GDPR regarding data processing in the context of Page Insights at the following link: https://www.facebook.com/privacy/explanation.

Meta Platforms also provides you with the relevant content of the agreement concluded between Meta Platforms and us on joint processing pursuant to Art. 26 GDPR at the following link: https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/page_controller_addendum.

Meta Platforms Ireland Limited has agreed to assume primary responsibility under the GDPR for the processing of Insights data and to fulfill all obligations under the GDPR with regard to the processing of Insights data. This applies in particular to Articles 12 and 13 of the GDPR, Articles 15 to 22 of the GDPR, and Articles 32 to 34 of the GDPR.

The statistical information transmitted to us does not (any longer) constitute personal data for us, meaning that we cannot identify you on the basis of this data. We only use the statistical data to gain a better understanding of the interests of our users in general, in order to improve our online presence and ensure the quality of our online offerings.

Insofar as we collect your personal data via our Facebook page (e.g., your name, nickname, content of messages sent to us, comment content, and profile information you have made “public”), we do so solely for the purpose of communicating and interacting with you.

We process your personal data for the purpose of communication and interaction on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in pursuing our business objectives through the information and communication services we offer on our Facebook page.

Insofar as we carry out processing in connection with the operation of our Facebook page for which your consent is required (e.g., participation in a competition, prize draw, sending of a newsletter, etc.), we will obtain this separately in each case. In this case, the processing of your personal data is based on Art. 6 (1) (a) in conjunction with Art. 7 GDPR and, if applicable, on § 25 (1) TDDDG, provided that information is stored in the end user’s terminal equipment or access is made to information already stored in the terminal equipment.

Insofar as the social network Facebook collects your data for its own purposes for which consent is required (e.g., evaluation of user behavior), this is also done on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (a) in conjunction with Art. 7 GDPR and, if applicable, on the basis of § 25 (1) TDDDG, provided that information is stored in the end user’s terminal equipment or access is made to information already stored in the terminal equipment. In this case, the necessary consent is obtained by the social network itself.

Due to the joint responsibility of Meta Platforms and us for the processing of personal data on our Facebook presence, you can assert your rights as a data subject both with us and directly with Meta Platforms.

Since Meta Platforms is responsible for the majority of the data processing that takes place as a service provider, our ability to access your data is very limited. Only the service provider has full access to your data in accordance with the network’s terms of use. For this reason, in most cases, only the social network provider can take and implement the necessary measures to fulfill your rights as a data subject (e.g., right to information, deletion, objection, etc.). The most effective way to assert your rights is therefore directly with the network provider.

Insofar as the data collected regarding user activities is transferred to the USA by the service provider Meta, the transfer is based on the currently applicable adequacy decision of the European Commission pursuant to Art. 45 (3) GDPR, also known as the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (EU-U.S. DPF).

The personal data you have provided to us will be automatically deleted if the purposes for processing no longer apply and there are no legal retention obligations.

Category of stored data	Deletion period
Technical data and logs to ensure the operation of the website	6 months

• the accuracy of the personal data is contested by you, for a period enabling us to verify the accuracy of the personal data,
• the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the personal data and request the restriction of their use instead,

In accordance with Art. 7 (3) GDPR, you have the right to revoke your consent at any time. As a result, we will no longer be permitted to continue processing data based on this consent in the future. The legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

This applies, for example, to the use of our contact form, the sending of information, the answering of individual questions, or the use of our form for online applications. Where necessary, we will point this out to you accordingly. Furthermore, we only store and process data that you provide voluntarily or automatically. If you make use of consulting services, we generally only collect data that is necessary to provide the services. If we ask you for further data, this is voluntary information. The personal data you provide will only be processed for the purposes communicated and explained to you.

As we may need to adjust our security and data protection measures, particularly if this becomes necessary due to technical or legal developments, we may also adjust this privacy policy accordingly in such cases. Please therefore refer to the current version of this privacy policy.

If you have any further questions about the information on data protection and the processing of your personal data, you can contact our data protection officer directly using the contact details provided above.
