2. General information and mandatory disclosures

Data protection

The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in
accordance with both statutory data protection laws and this data protection declaration.

When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data includes data with which you can be personally identified. This data protection declaration explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how we do this and for what purpose.

We would like to point out that data transmission via the Internet (e.g. communication by email) can be subject to security gaps. The complete protection of data against access by third-parties is not possible.

Note on the data controller

The data controller responsible for data processing on this website is Michael Leisten
Gewerbestr. 11
44866 Bochum
Phone: +49 (0) 201 17 53 1001

Email: Datenschutz@monolith-global.com

A data controller is a natural or legal entity who, alone or jointly with others, decides on the purposes and means of processing personal
data (e.g. names, email addresses, etc.).

Revocation of your consent to data processing.

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may revoke any consent previously given at any time. For this purpose, an informal notification by email to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing carried out up to the time of revocation remains unaffected by said revocation.

Right of appeal to the competent supervisory authority.

In the event of a violation of data protection law, the data subject has a right of appeal to the competent supervisory authority. The competent supervisory authority in matters of data protection law is the State Data Protection Officer of the federal state in which our company is based. A list of the Data Protection Officers and their contact details can be found on the following link: https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Infothek/Anschriften_Links/anschriften_links-node.html.

Right to data transferability

You have the right to have data, which we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract, handed over to you or to a third-party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another data controller, this will only take place to the extent that it is technically feasible.

SSL or TLS encryption.

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content – such as orders or enquiries that you send to us as the
site operator – this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the padlock symbol in
your browser line.

If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data that you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Information, blocking, deletion.

Within the framework of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right to obtain information free of charge at any time about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients and the purpose of the data processing and, when applicable, a right to correct, block or delete this data.
To this end, as well as for further questions regarding personal data, you may contact us at any time at the address given in the Legal Notice (“Impressum”).

Objection to advertising emails.

We hereby object to the use of our contact data published within the scope of the Legal Notice (as prescribed under German law) to send unsolicited advertising and information material. The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as through spam emails.

3. Data collection on our website

Cookies

Our website pages partly use so-called cookies. Cookies do not damage your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies serve to make our offer more user-friendly, effective and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.

Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies”.
These are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your end device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognise your browser the next time you visit our website.

You can set your browser to inform you about the placement of cookies and to allow cookies only in individual cases, to exclude the
acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If you deactivate cookies, the functionality of this website may be limited.

Cookies that are required to execute an electronic communication process or to provide certain functions that you have requested
(e.g. shopping basket function) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 (1) Letter f General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies for the error-free and optimised provision of its services. Insofar as other cookies (e.g. cookies for analysing
your surfing behaviour) are stored, these are treated separately in this data protection declaration.

Server log files

The provider of these pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. This information includes:

The browser type and browser version

The operating system used

The referrer URL

The host name of the accessing computer

The time of the server request

The IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources.

The basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) Letter b General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which permits the processing of data for the fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

Contact form

If you send us your enquiry via the contact form, your details from the enquiry form – including the contact data you provide there –
will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in the event of any follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent.

The processing of the data entered in the contact form is thus exclusively based on your consent – Art. 6 (1) Letter a General Data
Protection Regulation (GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. For this purpose, an informal notification by email to us is sufficient. The legality of
the data processing operations carried out up to the time of your revocation remains unaffected by said revocation.

The data entered by you in the contact form will remain with
us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to its storage, or the purpose for which it was stored ceases to apply (e.g. after your enquiry has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular the relevant retention periods – will remain unaffected.

Google Web Fonts

 This site uses so-called Web Fonts, which are provided by Google, for the uniform display of fonts. When you access a page, your browser
loads the required web fonts into its browser cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly.

To do this, the browser you are using must connect to Google's servers. This enables Google to know that our website has been
accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Web Fonts is in the interest of a uniform and attractive presentation of our online offers. This represents a legitimate interest in the sense of Art. 6 (1) Letter f General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

If your browser does not support Web Fonts, a standard font from your computer will be used.

Further information on Google Web Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in the Google privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.
