We know that a careful use of your personal details is important for you. We therefore appreciate very much your confidence that INTER-NOTE deals conscientiously with these details. With this declaration you give us your consent that INTER-NOTE can collect, process and use your hereinafter mentioned personal data for the herein mentioned purposes. The consent can, at any time, be withdrawn.

General

The responsibility pursuant to the Federal Data protection Act lies with INTER-NOTE; represented by Jens Schlichting, Siebenbürgerhof 6 in D-69469 Hirschberg, Germany.

The INTER-NOTE company as contractor undertakes the obligation to treat the personal data confidentially which were transmitted for use and to use and process them pursuant to § 11 para. 3 of the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) only upon instructions of the customer. It is not allowed to further use or process the transmitted documents. The contractor takes appropriate technical and organizational security measures to secure the compliance with the regulations of the BDSG (§ 9 BDSG), especially to exclude the possibility that third persons obtain knowledge, manipulate or steal data.

Statistical interpretation of data

In connection with your access to our website, we will store for security reasons the data transmitted from your browser in our Server Log Files which could make possible an identification (e.g. type of browser, version of browser, operating system, IP-address, date, hour and pages used). A personal use will not be made. The statistical interpretation of anonymous data is made with the purpose to improve the quality of our offer and to pursue misuse.

Anonymous utilization

On principle, you can use our online-offer without disclosing your identity. Only when you send an order do we ask you to transmit us your personal data as for instance name, address, etc.

Disclosure of Data

We disclose accounts of customers and personal data concerning customers if we are legally obliged to do so or if such a disclosure becomes necessary (i.e. payment by credit card/direct debiting, printing and dispatch), in order to assert our General Conditions or other agreements or to secure our rights or the rights of our customers and of third persons. This comprises a data exchange with companies which are specialized in prophylaxis and minimization of misuse and fraud committed with credit cards. We point out explicitly that in this context the transmission of data to these companies for economic use, which is in contradiction to this declaration of data protection, will not be made.

Data security

• To secure the security of your data when transmitted, we use Secure Sockets Layer Software (SSL). This software encodes the data transmitted by you.
• When confirming an order, we disclose only the last five figures of your account number or credit card number. Of course, during the order processing, we transmit your full credit card number or account number to the responible payment firm.
• We take physical, electronical and procedural security measures in connection with the collection, storage and disclosure of personal data of our customers. These security measures make it necessary that we ask you, from time to time, to prove your identity before we disclose your personal data.
• It is important for you to insure yourself that no unauthorized access to your password and to your computer is made. If you share your computer with other persons you should pay attention that you log out yourself after each session.
