3. General information and mandatory disclosures

Data protection

The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.


When you use this website, various personal data are collected. Personal data is data by which you can be personally identified. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done. We would like to point out that the transmission of data over the internet (e.g. when communicating by email) may be subject to security vulnerabilities.

Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Note on the controller

The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:
Sobernheimer Rohstoff-Kontor Industriepark Pferdsfeld, Gebäude 234
55566 Bad Sobernheim
Phone: +49 6756892030
Email: info@srk-rohstoffe.de

The controller is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g. names, email addresses, etc.).


Withdrawal of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may withdraw any consent you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out prior to the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

Right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
Where data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of your personal data; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

The respective legal basis on which processing relies can be found in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data concerned unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims (objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR).

Where your personal data is processed for the purposes of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for the purpose of direct marketing (objection pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

In the event of infringements of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.

Right to data portability
You have the right to receive data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in performance of a contract, in a commonly used, machine-readable format — either for yourself or for transfer to a third party. Where you request the direct transfer of data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent that it is technically feasible.
SSL and 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 website uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address bar of your browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the padlock symbol in your browser bar. When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Right to access, erasure and rectification

Within the scope of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing, as well as a right to rectification or erasure of such data where applicable.

For this purpose, and for any further questions regarding personal data, you may contact us at any time using the address provided in our legal notice.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You may contact us at any time using the address provided in our legal notice for this purpose.

The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:
If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally require time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. If the processing of your personal data was or is being carried out unlawfully, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.

If we no longer need your personal data but you require it for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of erasure. If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.


Where you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data may — apart from being stored — only be processed with your consent, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

These enable us or you to make use of certain services offered by the third-party company (e.g. cookies for processing payment services).

Cookies serve various purposes. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. the shopping basket function or the display of videos). Other cookies are used to analyse user behaviour or display advertising.

Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process, to provide certain functions you have requested (e.g. the shopping basket function), or to optimise the website (e.g. cookies for measuring web audiences) are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimised provision of its services. Where consent to the storage of cookies has been requested, the relevant cookies are stored exclusively on the basis of that consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR); consent may be withdrawn at any time.

You can configure your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and to allow cookies only in individual cases, to exclude the acceptance of cookies in certain cases or generally, and to enable the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website. Where cookies are used by third-party companies or for analytical purposes, we will inform you separately within the scope of this privacy policy and, where applicable, request your consent.
