We are very pleased about your interest in our company. Data protection is of high importance to the management of Zehnder Pumpen GmbH. Your personal data is thus processed confidentially and in accordance with the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG-new) as well as other legal regulations for data protection.

Which data will be processed in detail depends primarily on the contents of the contractual and pre-contractual business relation. When you contact us, we will collect the following information:

  • Contact person (title, first name, surname),
  • Email address(es),
  • Address,
  • Phone number (fixed line and/or mobile communication),
  • Meta/communication data (e.g. device information, IP addresses) as well as
  • Information which is required for the business relation.

You can obtain further details or supplements about the purposes of data processing from the Data Protection Information (including the Supplementary Data Protection Information for the use of our website and for applicants), the relevant contract documents, forms, a declaration of consent and/or other information provided to you (e.g. within the framework of using our website).


2. Where do we get your personal data from? 

The collection of data takes place generally with you yourself. Processing of your personal data is required to fulfil contractual duties which result from the contract concluded with us. Due to your obligations to cooperate, it is indispensable to provide the personal data requested by us, because otherwise we cannot comply with our contractual duties. 

The provision of your personal data is necessary within the framework of pre-contractual measures (e.g. collection of master data within the process of the prospective buyer, reply to inquiries). Should you not provide the requested data, a contract cannot be concluded. 

To render our services, it can be necessary to process personal data which we have received permissibly and for the relevant purpose from other companies or other Third Parties, e.g. tax offices, from your and our business partners or similar. 

Furthermore, we possibly process personal data from publicly accessible sources, e.g. internet appearances which we utilise permissibly and for the relevant contract purpose only. Moreover, we process personal data which we have obtained or purchased from publicly accessible sources (such as phone directories, commercial and association registers, civil registers, debtors registers, land registers, the press, internet and other media) and which we are allowed to process. 

Relevant personal data categories may particularly include: 

  • Personal data (name, date of birth, place of birth, nationality, family status, profession/industry and similar data), 
  • Contact data (address, email address, phone number und similar data), 
  • Address data (reported data and similar data), 
  • Payment/cover confirmation with bank and credit cards, 
  • Information about your financial situation (creditworthiness data including scoring, that is data to assess economic risks). 
  • Data about your usage of telecommunication media offered by us (e.g. time of calling our website, apps or newsletter, clicked pages/links from us or entries and similar data), 
  • Meta/communication data (e.g. device information, IP addresses)
as well as other data which are similar to the stated categories. 

3. Purposes and legal grounds of data processing 

We process your personal data subject to the respectively applicable legal data protection requirements. While doing so, the processing is lawful if at least one of the following conditions is fulfilled: 

a) Due to a consent (acc. to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) 

The purposes of processing personal data result from the declaration of consent. You can revoke a declaration of consent at any time with future effect. You can also revoke consents which you had declared prior to the application of the GDPR (25-05-2018). Data processing which had taken place prior to the revocation shall remain unaffected by the revocation. 

b) To fulfil contractual duties or pre-contractual measures (acc. to Art. 6 para 1, lit b GDPR) 

The purposes of data processing result from initiating pre-contractual measures, which precede a contractually regulated business relation on the one hand, and to fulfil the duties from the contract concluded with you on the other hand, 

  • to be able to identify you as our business partner / contact person, 
  • to be able to render our services, 
  • for correspondence with you,

  • to ensure and use domiciliary rights (e.g. through access controls), 
  • for cost recording and controlling as well as for reporting to handle potentially present liability claims as well as to enforce possible claims against you, 
c) On account of legal requirements (acc. to Art. 6 para 1 lit c GDPR) or public interests (acc. to Art. 6 para 1 lit e GDPR) 

The purposes of data processing result from legal requirements or lie in the public interest (e.g. compliance with retention requirements). d) Within the framework of balancing interests (in acc. to Art. 6 para 1 lit. f GDPR) The purposes of data processing result from safeguarding our legitimate interests. It may be necessary to process your personal data beyond the actual fulfilment of the contract. This legitimate interest can be used to justify further processing of your personal data, provided that your interests or basic rights or fundamental freedoms do not prevail. The legitimate interest may particularly include in the particular case:
  • Revision and improvement of procedures for general business management and further development of products and services 
  • Advertising, market and opinion research, provided that you did not object to using your data 
  • Assertion of legal claims and defence in case of legal disputes
