Rights of Objection

Please note the following in connection with the right to object:

If we use your personal data for the purpose of direct advertising, you will be entitled to object to our processing them for this purpose at any time without giving reasons. This will also apply to profiling if it is directly connected with direct advertising.

If you object to your data being processed purpose of direct advertising, we will no longer process your data for these purposes. You may object free of charge without following any particular form to: .

If we process your data for the purpose of safeguarding your legitimate interests, you can object at any time for reasons arising from this particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

We will then no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for doing so that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms or if processing data serves to assert, exercise or defend legal interests.

Purposes and Statutory Bases of Data Using

When processing your personal data, we will observe the provisions of the EU GDPR and all other applicable data protection provisions. The statutory bases for data processing arise in particular from Section 6 EU GDPR.

We use your data to initiate business transactions, fulfil contractual and statutory obligations, carry out contractual relationships, offer products and services and to reinforce customer relationships, which may also include analyses for marketing purposes and direct advertising. The statutory bases of data processing are formed by the contract (purchase contract, Section 6, I, 1 (b) GDPR), consent (Section 6 I, 1 [a] GDPR) and data processing (Section 6 I, 1 [f] GDPR) in cases of legitimate interest.

Your consent also constitutes a data protection law-related provision that requires permission to be given. In this case, we are informing you here of the purposes of data processing and your right to rescind your consent. Should your consent also concern processing special categories of personal data, we will point this out to you explicitly in the consent (Section 88, Subsection 1 EU GDPR).

Special categories of personal data as defined by Section 9, Subsection 1 EU GDPR, will only be processed if this is required by legislative provisions and if there is no reason to assume that your legitimate interests outweigh exclusion from processing (Section 88, Subsection 1 EU GDPR).

Passing on Personal Data to Third Parties

We will pass on your data only on the basis of legislative provisions or if the related consent has been given. Otherwise, personal data will not be passed to third parties unless we are obliged to do so further to compelling legislative provisions (forwarding to external quarters such as regulatory authorities or criminal prosecution authorities).

Recipients of Data / Categories of Recipients

Within our company we will ensure that only those persons who need your data to carry out contractual and statutory obligations actually receive them. The data will be transmitted to the Sales, Service and Communications Departments only.

In many cases, service providers assist our operational departments to carry out their tasks. The necessary agreements have already been concluded with all service providers. Where orders are processed, our Purchasing Department will ensure that the necessary data-processing agreements have been concluded.

Transfer of Data to Third-Party Countries /

Intention to Transfer Data to Third-Party Countries

Data will only be transferred to third-party countries (outside the European Union and / or the European Economic Area) if this is required for fulfilling contractual obligations, if it is prescribed by law or if you have given us your consent to do so.

We will transfer your personal data to a service provider or a group member company outside the European Economic Area if your enquiries concern the branches in these third-party countries (USA, Mexico, Russia and China).

Maintaining this level of data protection is guaranteed by EU standard contractual clauses.

Storage Periods of Your Data

We will store your data for as long as we need them for each purpose of processing. Please note that numerous retention periods require that data will (need to) be stored for the future. In particular, this will affect retention periods required by commercial or tax law, such as the German Commercial Code or the German Fiscal Code, etc.). If there are no further retention obligations in place, the data will be routinely deleted after the intended purpose has been achieved.

We can also retain data if you have given us your consent to do so or if there is a legal dispute, in which case, we will use it as evidence as part of statutory expiry periods which can last up to 30 years; the regular expiry period is three years.

Secure Transfer of Your Data

In order to protect data stored with us as far as possible against coincidental or deliberate manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorised persons, we use appropriate technical and organisational security measures. The security levels are constantly checked in cooperation with security experts and adapted to new security standards.

Data is transferred from and to our website in encrypted form only. For our web presence, we offer the HTTPS transfer protocol using the latest encryption protocols.

Contact Forms / Making Contact by Email

Our website has a contact form which can be used for contacting us electronically. If you write to us using this contact form, we will use the data you give us in the contact form to contact you and respond to your questions and requests.

In this connection, we will observe the principle of data economy and data avoidance by requiring you to give us only those data that we absolutely need from you in order to contact you. These are your email address and the message section itself. We also use your IP address for reasons of technical necessity and legal safety. All other data are voluntary and may be given or not as you wish, e.g. to answer your questions in a more individual manner.

If you contact us via email, we will use the personal data you give us in your email only in order to process your enquiry.

Newsletters (Section 6, Subsection 1 (a) EU GDPR)

You can subscribe to a free newsletter on our website. The email address you give when registering for the newsletter, your name and honorific will be used to send personalised newsletters.

In this context, the principle of data economy and data avoidance will be observed as only the email address is marked as a required field (where appropriate: your name for personalised newsletters). We also use your IP address for reasons of technical necessity and to protect ourselves legally when you subscribe to a newsletter.

We send newsletters using the so-called “double opt-in” method. This means that you will only receive advertising via email if you have explicitly confirmed beforehand that we should activate the newsletter service. We do this by notifying you by email and asking you to confirm by clicking on a link in this email that you would like to receive our newsletters at this email address.

We also use a newsletter tracking pixel which tells us whether you have opened the newsletter (or not) and which links in the newsletter you have clicked on.

Your personal data will not be passed on to third parties and will be used solely for the abovementioned purpose.

In future you will naturally have the opportunity to de-register from our distribution list at any time by using the “Abmelden” / “Unsubscribe” link. This will cancel your consent with effect for the future. You can do this via email at:  or in writing to:  Mp extra, Zentralbereich Kommunikation (CC), Frankenstrasse 2, 75004 Paris.

Your data will be retained until such time as you revoke your consent and no further statutory storage deadline periods exist.

You can of course terminate this subscription at any time using the deregistration option in the newsletter, thereby rescinding your consent. Alternatively, you can terminate your newsletter subscription directly at any time via our internet site.

Web Shop (Section 6 Subsection 1 lit. b EU GDPR)

We use the data given by you in the order form only to perform or execute the contractual relationship unless you not consent to its further use.

We will observe the principle of data economy and data avoidance if you are obliged to give us only those data that we absolutely need in order to fulfil the agreement and / or fulfil our contractual obligations i.e. your name, address, email address and the payment data required for the payment methods selected, or data which we are legally required to obtain.

We will also process your IP address for reasons of technical necessity and legal safety. Without these data, we regret that we will have to decline to conclude any contracts as we will not be able to execute then or we will have to terminate an existing contract. You may naturally provide even more data on your own initiative if you wish.

Registration / Customer Accounts (Section 6, Subsection 1 (a & b) EU GDPR)

On our website we offer users the opportunity to register and provide personal data. The advantage is that you will in particular be able to see your ordering history and that the data you have given are stored for the order form. If you place a subsequent order, you will not have to enter these data again.

In other words, registration is required either to fulfil an agreement (via our online shop) with you, carry out pre-contractual measures, or registration is possible if guest access is provided.

We observe the principle of data economy and data avoidance in this context as the only data required for registration are marked with a star (*) as a required field. These data are: your email address and password, including repeating a password, for example.

For ordering in our online shop, we also need details on the invoice address (honorific, first name, last name, postal address, email address, company name, department, function). Should the delivery address differ from the invoice address, you should give the above details for the delivery address as well.

By registering at our web shop, the user’s IP address, the date and the time of registration are also stored (technical background data). On pressing the “Send” button, you consent to your data being processed.

Please note that the password issued by you will be stored by us in encrypted form. Employees at our company will not be able to read this password. In other words, you are not able to give them any information. Should you forget your password, use the “Forgotten your password?” button. This means that we will receive an email from you with your email address, last name and first name. We will set up an initial password and will inform you of this via email. When you next log in again, you will need to assign yourself a new personal password.

In this case, use the “Forgotten your password?” function. This will send you a new, automatically-generated password via email. None of our employees is authorised to ask you for your password, whether by telephone or in written form. So please never tell anybody your password if you receive any such enquiries.

On concluding the registration procedure, your data will be stored with us for use in the protected customer area. When you log on to our internet site using your email address (as your user name) and your password, these data will be provided for activity by you on our internet site, e.g. for orders in our online shop). Orders placed can then be seen in your ordering history. You can make alterations to the invoicing or delivery address here.

Registered persons have the opportunity to have alterations or corrections made to their invoicing or delivery address in their ordering history by our sales department if you contact them. You can reach the relevant contact via the “Contact” button and by naming the relevant sales area.

You can of course have your registration and / or your customer account re-cancelled or deleted. To do this, just contact our sales department via email. The relevant contact can be reached via the “contact” button and then by giving the name of the sales section in question.

Credit Checks (Section 6; Subsection 1, (f) EU GDPR)

In our online shop, you are able to pay on account (invoice). To enable this, we collect the relevant payment data in order to process your order and your payment. For reasons of technical necessity and legal safety we also use your IP address.

We observe the principle of data economy and avoidance by requiring you to give us only those data that we absolutely need to process payments and thereby process your order or to collect those data that we are required to by law.

Without these data, we will be obliged to decline to conclude a contract as we will not otherwise be able to perform it.
