1. About us

We, LIQUI MOLY GmbH, are responsible for the collection, processing and storage of your data. You can find details about us in our legal notice at any time.

Careful handling of your personal data is our top priority. We comply with the statutory provisions when processing data, e.g. the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the associated national provisions.

This privacy policy applies to all of our company's websites that can be accessed under our domains (liqui-moly.com, liqui-moly.de) for LIQUI MOLY presences in the social media Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, Xing and LinkedIn. If you switch to websites of other operators within the scope of our offer, their own data protection regulations apply, for the content of which the respective operators of these websites are responsible.

As we would like to give you a comprehensive overview of the processing of personal data in our group of companies, you will find below an overview of all our services in the context of which we collect and process personal data.

If separate or additional conditions apply to individual services or if we ask for your consent, we will inform you separately before you use the respective service (e.g. for the newsletter subscription or the purchase in our online store).

We also take various security measures to protect your personal data. For example, the transmission between your web browser and our servers is always transport-encrypted; in addition, we maintain a variety of technical and organizational measures to protect your data at all times.

2. Why we process your data

In principle, you can use our website without disclosing your identity. If you wish to register for one of our personalized services, use our online store, subscribe to our newsletter or contact us, we will ask you for your name and other personal information. You are free to decide whether to enter this (extended) data. Data that we absolutely require from you in order to provide our services is marked as such.

Your personal data is collected and processed for the following purposes on the basis of the following legal bases:

  • Contract initiation pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a and b GDPR
  • Contract processing pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR
  • Customer management pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b and c, f GDPR
  • Communication and data exchange pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a, b, c, f GDPR
  • External presentation and advertising pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a, f GDPR
  • Implementation of declarations of consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR
  • Ensuring the proper operation of a data processing system in accordance with

  • Applicant selection procedure in the context of personnel and resource management on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a, b GDPR in conjunction with § SECTION 26 BDSG

3. What data we collect and process from you

We collect different categories of personal data from you. Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person; an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name. Personal data includes, for example, information such as your name, your address, your telephone number and your date of birth (if provided). Statistical information that cannot be linked to you either directly or indirectly - such as the popularity of individual web pages on our website or the number of users of a page - is not personal data. There is directly and indirectly collected data. In both cases, data is only collected to the extent necessary; the data is processed exclusively for the purposes stated in section 2. It is up to you to decide whether you wish to provide us with data that optimizes the use of our services for you but is not necessary for this purpose. Corresponding data fields are marked as 'voluntary'.

The data collected directly includes:

  • Title and name, e.g. to personalize your user account or for ordering in our online store
  • email address and, if applicable, a password chosen by you, e.g. for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter, using your customer account or contacting us via our contact form
  • Address data, e.g. for the purpose of order processing (delivery) in our online store
  • Payment data, for processing the payment of your order
  • Applicant data, to carry out our online application process
  • Data that you actively and consciously transmit to us when using our services,
  • Other data that you transmit to us voluntarily, e.g. data fields that you have filled in and marked as 'voluntary'

In addition, data about you is collected indirectly when you use our services:

  • Technical connection data, e.g. the page of our website accessed, your IP address, shortened by the last three digits, date and time of access, end device used, browser configuration data.
  • Data collected in the context of website tracking
  • Data that we receive from our service providers as part of order processing in the online store, e.g. information on payment probabilities and payment disruptions or delivery notifications

Minors:

Our website is not aimed at minors and we do not knowingly collect personal data from minors.

If persons under the age of 16 transfer personal data to us, this is only permitted if the parent or legal guardian has given their consent or has consented to the consent of the young person. For this purpose, we must be provided with the contact details of the parent or legal guardian in accordance with Art. 8 para. 2 GDPR in order to verify the consent of the parent or legal guardian. This data and the data of the minor will then be processed in accordance with this privacy policy.

If we discover that a minor under the age of 16 has sent us personal data without the consent of the parent or legal guardian or without the consent of the minor, we will delete the data immediately.

4. Who has access to your data and to whom we transfer your data

a) Access

Access to your personal data stored by us is limited to our employees and the service providers commissioned by us who have to handle this personal data due to their tasks.

If third parties gain access to your data, we have obtained your permission to do so or there is a legal basis for this.

We also use service providers to provide services and process your data (including for hosting, sending newsletters, delivering ordered goods, processing payments, maintaining and analyzing databases, securing our web servers or for website tracking). Insofar as special provisions apply to these, we have explained these for you below for the respective service. The service providers process the data exclusively on our instructions and are obliged to comply with the applicable data protection regulations. All processors have been carefully selected and are only given access to your data to the extent and for the period required to provide the services or to the extent to which you have consented to data processing and use.

b) Data exchange within the group of companies

Data exchange within the group of companies to which we belong takes place exclusively within the EU/EEA and serves only internal administrative purposes. By group of companies, we mean affiliated companies within the meaning of Art. 4 No. 19 GDPR.

c) Transfer to third countries and legal basis

The servers of some of the service providers we use are located in the USA and other countries outside the European Union. Companies in these countries are subject to data protection laws that do not generally protect personal data to the same extent as is the case in the member states of the European Union. If your data is processed in a country that does not have a recognized high level of data protection like the European Union, we use contractual regulations or other recognized instruments to ensure that your personal data is adequately protected. We expressly point this out to you again in the context of the individual services.

If personal data is transferred to third countries, this is done on the basis of the EU standard contract pursuant to Art. 46 para. 2 lit. c GDPR or on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

Processors are also contractually obliged to provide suitable guarantees for data transfers to third countries (e.g. by other processors).

d) Transmission to law enforcement and criminal investigation authorities

In exceptional cases, we transfer personal data to law enforcement and criminal investigation authorities. This is done on the basis of corresponding legal obligations, e.g. from the Code of Criminal Procedure, the Fiscal Code, the Money Laundering Act or state police laws.

5. Storage periods

We store personal data within the scope of the statutory provisions or your consent.

We use the following criteria to determine the specific storage period:

We store the personal data until the purposes for which it was collected cease to apply (e.g. upon termination of a contractual relationship or by last activity if there is no continuing obligation, or in the event of revocation of your consent for the specific data processing).

Data will only be stored beyond this if

  • statutory retention obligations (e.g. according to AO and HGB) exist;
  • the data is still required to assert and exercise legal claims or to defend against legal claims, e.g. due to technological and forensic requirements to defend against attacks on our web servers and their prosecution;
  • deletion would conflict with the legitimate interests of the data subjects;

or

  • another exception pursuant to Art. 17 (3) GDPR applies.

6. Your rights

You have a number of statutory rights to which we would like to draw your attention below. In addition, our data protection officer is of course also available to answer any questions you may have about your personal data collected and processed by us using the contact details below.

a) Right to information and data portability

You have the right to information about your personal data processed by us at any time.

If the data processing is based on your consent or on a contract in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 b GDPR, you can also request to receive the personal data stored about you in a structured, common and machine-readable format in accordance with Art. 20 para. 1 GDPR. At your request, we will also forward the data directly to the recipient specified by you.

b) Right to rectification, restriction and erasure

Furthermore, in accordance with Art. 16 to 18 GDPR, you can request that we rectify, restrict (block) or erase your personal data if we have processed the data incorrectly, if there is a reason for restricting further data processing, or if the data processing has become unlawful for various reasons, or if its storage is inadmissible for other legal reasons. We would like to point out that your right to erasure may be restricted by statutory retention periods.

c) Right to object

If our data processing is based exclusively on our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR, you can object to this processing in accordance with Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR. We will then stop processing your data unless we can demonstrate legitimate grounds for processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend a legal claim. Furthermore, you always have the right to object to the use of your data for the purpose of direct marketing with effect for the future in accordance with Art. 21 para. 2 GDPR.

d) Right of withdrawal

If you have given us your consent to process your personal data, you have the right to withdraw your consent with effect for the future in accordance with Art. 7 (3) GDPR.

e) Right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority

You are free to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if you are of the opinion that our processing of your personal data violates the European General Data Protection Regulation or other national and international data protection laws.

7. use of our website - profiling, cookies and web tracking

a) Basic information on cookies and opt-out options

We use so-called cookies in some areas of our website, e.g. to recognize visitor preferences and optimize the website accordingly. This facilitates navigation and makes a website more user-friendly. Cookies also help us to identify particularly popular areas of our website. Cookies are small files that are stored on a visitor's hard disk. They make it possible to store information for a certain period of time and to identify the visitor's computer. We use permanent cookies to improve user guidance and individual performance.

We also use so-called session cookies, which are automatically deleted when you close your browser. You can set your browser so that it informs you about the placement of cookies. This makes the use of cookies transparent for you. This is done in order to check the authorization of actions and the authentication of the requesting user of our services. The legal bases are Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c i.V.m. Art. 32 and Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest is to secure our web server, e.g. to defend ourselves against attacks, and to ensure the functionality of our services.

We only set cookies that are not technically necessary after you have given your express consent, which you can of course revoke at any time.

As part of our cookie information on our website, you have agreed to the following declaration in this regard:

This website uses cookies

We use cookies to personalize content and ads, to provide social media features and to analyze traffic to our website. We also share information about your use of our website with our social media, advertising and analytics partners. Our partners may combine this information with other data that you have provided to them or that they have collected as part of your use of the services.

For more information, please see our Data Privacy Policy.

<Only necessary cookies>       <Allow cookies>

If you completely exclude the use of cookies, you will not be able to use individual functions of our website - including the option to opt out of tracking based on cookies. If necessary, please allow the opt-out cookies of the services for which you wish to prevent tracking.

Please also bear in mind that deleting all cookies means that opt-out cookies will also be deleted. You may therefore have to set these again. Cookies are also browser-bound, i.e. they must be set separately for each browser you use on each device you use. The links required for this can be found below in the description of the respective service.

You can obtain an overview of the cookies used and your settings for this at any time from our Cookie Banner. Under the Details tab, you can view the groupings and the cookies that fall under each one.

b) Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC (“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, if IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will be shortened by Google beforehand within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

We only use Google Analytics with your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR.

You can also prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly; however, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent.You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link.The current link is: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.

Recipient of the data:Google Ireland Ltd, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland

c) Google Tag Manager

Google Tag Manager is a Google product that enables us to manage website tags from applications such as Google Analytics via an interface. The Tag Manager is a cookie-less domain and does not collect any personal data.

d) Searching for sources of supply via Google Maps

Our website uses the Google Maps service to search for suitable dealers in your area using a zip code. When Google Maps is called up on this website, data (e.g. your IP address, the address entered during route planning) is transmitted to Google.

We only use Google Maps with your consent, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR.

The Google Maps page is therefore integrated by means of a local preview and is only activated when you click on the link displayed there or allow Google Maps via the cookie banner. Your browser then establishes a direct connection to Google. Other Google services are also used (e.g. Google Fonts).

We have no influence on whether or how Google actually uses the data (purpose, storage, deletion, disclosure, transmission, profiling). We also have no effective control options in this respect. We do not store any data.

An agreement within the meaning of Art. 26 para. 1 GDPR exists.

Further information on data protection at Google can be found at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en&gl=en 

You can access the separate data protection provisions for Google Maps at: https://www.google.com/intl/en/help/terms_maps.html 

Recipient of the data: Google Ireland Ltd, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland

e) Google Ads

Our website uses the 'Google Ads' service, which enables marketers to place ads in the Google search results and also in the Google advertising network. This is done on the basis of predefined keywords, by means of which an ad is only displayed in the hit lists if a keyword-relevant search is carried out.

The purpose of Google Ads is to promote our website by displaying relevant advertising on third-party websites, in the Google search hit lists and by displaying relevant third-party advertising on our website.

By clicking on a corresponding Google ad that refers to our website, Google sets a cookie. The cookie enables both us and Google to track whether you have reached our website via an Ads ad and generated sales. We use the Google Ads Conversion Tracking Tool for this purpose.

The data obtained in this way is used by Google to compile statistics (e.g. total number of users referred via Google Ads, success of our Ads campaign) for our website. Neither we nor other Google Ads advertisers receive information from Google that could be used to identify you.

However, personal information, such as the websites you have visited, is stored by means of the cookie that is set. Google may pass this data on to third parties.

You can object to interest-based advertising by Google at any time by clicking on the following opt-out link: https://adssettings.google.com/ 

Wir setzen Google Ads nur nach Ihrer Einwilligung gem. Art. 6 Abs. 1 S. 1 lit. a DSGVO ein.

Empfänger der Daten: Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Irland

f) GA Audience

Our website uses GA Audience, a service provided by Google. GA Audience uses cookies, among other things, which are stored on your computer and other mobile devices (e.g. smartphones, tablets, etc.) and which enable an analysis of the use of the corresponding devices. In some cases, the data is analyzed across devices. GA Audience receives access to the cookies created as part of the use of Google AdWords and Google Analytics. During use, data, in particular the IP address and user activities, may be transmitted to a Google LLC server and stored there. Google LLC may transfer this information to third parties if this is required by law or if this data is processed by third parties. You can prevent the collection and forwarding of personal data (in particular your IP address) and the processing of this data by deactivating the execution of Java Script in your browser or by installing a tool such as 'NoScript'. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the Google cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) to Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link:

https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/2700409?hl=en&ref_topic=2611283

We only use GA Audience with your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR.

g) Google Remarketing

Our website uses Google Remarketing. This is a procedure with which we would like to address you again. This application allows our advertisements to be displayed to you when you continue to use the internet after visiting our website. This is done by means of cookies stored in your browser, which are used by Google to record and evaluate your usage behavior when you visit various websites. This enables Google to determine your previous visit to our website. According to its own statements, Google does not merge the data collected in the context of remarketing with your personal data, which may be stored by Google. In particular, according to Google, pseudonymization is used in remarketing.

We only use Google Remarketing with your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR.

Recipient of the data: Google Ireland Ltd, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland

h) Microsoft Advertising (formerly Bing Ads)

We use Microsoft Conversion Tracking as part of the use of Microsoft Advertising. A cookie is set on your computer if you have reached our site via a Microsoft Advertising ad. Microsoft Advertising customers find out the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag (e.g. registration via a contact form). You can also deactivate cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain “flex.msn.com”.

We only use Microsoft Advertising with your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR. The associated data transfer to the USA as a third country without an adequate level of data protection is also only carried out on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. a GDPR in the cookie banner. Here you have consented as follows:

I consent to the use of the cookie, although I have been informed that the data will be transferred to the USA and that I cannot sufficiently exercise my right to a legal hearing there in accordance with European principles and therefore an adequate level of data protection cannot be guaranteed.


Recipient of the data: Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, USA

The legal basis for the transfer is the EU standard contractual clauses pursuant to Art. 46 para. 2 lit. c GDPR.

i) The Trade Desk

Our website uses the retargeting technology of The Trade Desk, Inc. (“The Trade Desk”). Visitors to the website are presented with interest-based advertisements as part of The Trade Desk advertising network. The website visitor's browser stores cookies that make it possible to recognize the visitor when he or she visits websites that belong to The Trade Desk's advertising network. On these pages, the visitor can then be presented with advertisements that relate to content that the visitor has previously accessed on websites that use The Trade Desk's retargeting technology. According to The Trade Desk, it collects pseudonymized data during this process.


We only use The Trade Desk with your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR. The associated data transfer to the USA as a third country without an adequate level of data protection is also only carried out on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. a GDPR in the cookie banner. Here you have consented as follows:

I consent to the use of the cookie, although I have been informed that the data will be transferred to the USA and that I cannot sufficiently exercise my right to a legal hearing there in accordance with European principles and therefore an adequate level of data protection cannot be guaranteed.

However, if you do not wish to use this retargeting function, you can deactivate it. Please note that deactivation must be done separately for each browser or device using one of the following methods:

Directly at The Trade Desk here: https://www.adsrvr.org

j) YouTube video, embedded via iFrame in extended data protection mode

We use YouTube, a Google service, to show you video content. To protect your privacy, we have activated the extended data protection mode.

YouTube also uses cookies to collect information about visitors to its website. YouTube uses these to collect video statistics, prevent fraud and improve user-friendliness, among other things. Calling up a video usually also leads to a connection being established with the Google DoubleClick network. When you start the video, this could trigger further data processing operations, especially if you are already logged in to YouTube. We have no influence over this.

By pressing the start button on the video, you consent to the transmission of data to Google. Your browser then establishes a direct connection to Google. Other Google services are also used via this connection (e.g. Google Fonts).

Recipient of the data: Google Ireland Ltd, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland

k) Social media buttons

Our website uses social media buttons (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube) to enable you to interact with third parties.

These social media buttons are not integrated as plugins via a so-called iFrame, but are stored as links. By clicking on the social media buttons, you will be forwarded directly to the page of the corresponding provider. The corresponding provider is then responsible for compliance with the data protection regulations and for the accuracy, timeliness and completeness of the information provided there on data processing within the meaning of Art. 4 No. 7 GDPR.

l) Facebook Custom Audience

Our website uses the ‘Facebook Custom Audience’ service by means of the so-called pixel method without extended matching of customer lists with Facebook. This enables us to obtain information to optimize our website and improve the visitor experience and, if necessary, to present you with targeted advertising content via the Facebook platform.

Facebook can track and log your page views and online behavior via an invisible pixel integrated on our website, for example by using your IP address and other features for identification.

We only use Facebook Custom Audience with your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR.

Once the opt-out cookie has been set, data will no longer be exchanged with Facebook due to the Facebook pixel.

Your IP address is transmitted to Facebook in the process.

By logging in to Facebook, your Facebook profile and our service are linked. As a result of the link, we automatically receive the following information from your public Facebook profile from Facebook:

Polyfill.io makes it easier to support different browsers by trying to replicate the missing features with polyfills: You can use the latest and greatest features in browsers that support them and those that don't. The data is processed in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest is to ensure the functionality of our services.

s) Friendly Captcha

We use the Friendly Captcha service on our website, which makes it possible to distinguish whether the data entry is made by a natural person or is automated or machine-generated.

The data is processed in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest is to determine whether an inquiry actually comes from a natural person and needs to be processed and thus to avoid unnecessary sorting out of spam mails.

Recipient of the data: Friendly Captcha GmbH, Am Anger 3-5, 82237 Woerthsee, Germany
