• Feedback and Inquiries: If you submit feedback or inquiries, we may collect the personal data you include in those communications.

2.2 Information Collected Automatically

• Cookies: We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to improve your browsing experience and analyze usage. Cookies are small data files stored on your device. You can control or disable cookies in your browser settings, but some Website features may not function properly if you do.
• Log Data: Our servers automatically record information (“Log Data”) about your visit, such as your IP address, browser type, the pages you visit on our Website, and the time spent on those pages.

2.3 Third-Party Analytics

We may use third-party analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics) to help us understand Website traffic and usage. These tools may collect information sent by your device or the Website (including web pages you visit and add-ons), which is then used to analyze and improve the Website’s functionality.

We may use the personal data collected for the following purposes:

• To Provide Services: Responding to your inquiries or requests, delivering any services or information you request.
• To Communicate: Sending newsletters, updates, or relevant information about Wassching (only if you have opted in to receive such communications).
• To Improve Our Website: Analyzing data to understand user behavior and optimize the user experience.
• To Maintain Security: Monitoring for suspicious or fraudulent activity to keep the Website safe and secure.

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom, our legal bases for collecting and using your personal data depend on the context in which we collect it:

• Consent: When you have given us explicit consent to process your data (e.g., for email marketing).
• Legitimate Interests: When processing is necessary for our legitimate business interests (e.g., ensuring the security of our Website, improving user experience), provided these are not overridden by your data protection rights.
• Contractual Necessity: When processing your data is necessary to perform a contract or fulfill your requests.
• Legal Obligations: When processing is necessary to comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell or rent your personal data. We may share data with:

• Service Providers: Trusted third-party service providers (e.g., hosting, email newsletter services) to help us operate our Website and business, under confidentiality obligations.
• Legal Requirements: If required by law or to respond to valid legal requests (e.g., court orders), or to protect our rights and property.

If your personal data is transferred outside of the EEA or your country of residence, we will ensure appropriate safeguards are in place (such as standard contractual clauses) to protect your rights and personal data.

We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy or as required by law. The specific retention period depends on the nature of the data and the context in which it was collected.

Depending on your location and subject to applicable law, you may have the right to:

• Rectify: Request that we correct inaccurate or incomplete data.

• Restrict Processing: Ask us to limit how we use your data.
• Data Portability: Request to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used format.
• Object: Object to our processing of your data, including for direct marketing purposes.
• Withdraw Consent: If we rely on your consent, you can withdraw it at any time.

To exercise these rights, please contact us at the details provided below. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe, in accordance with applicable law.

We take reasonable measures to protect your personal data from loss, theft, misuse, and unauthorized access. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. When we do, we will post the revised policy with a new “Last updated” date. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically.
