Data protection
The protection and security of personal data is a high priority at OPINSTRUMENTS. We therefore strictly adhere to the rules of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Below you will be informed about what type of data is collected and for what purpose it is collected.
Data transmission/data logging
When you visit this site, the web server automatically records log files that cannot be assigned to a specific person. This data includes e.g. the browser type and version, operating system used, referrer URL (the previously visited page), IP address of the requesting computer, access date and time of the server request and the file request of the client (file name and URL). This data is only collected for the purpose of statistical analysis. It will not be passed on to third parties for commercial or non-commercial purposes.
Use of personal data
Personal data will only be collected or processed if you provide this information voluntarily, e.g. as part of an inquiry. Unless there are necessary reasons in connection with a business transaction, you can revoke your previously granted permission for your personal data storage at any time in writing (e.g. by email or fax) with immediate effect. Your data will not be passed on to third parties unless passing on is required by law.
Information, change and deletion of your data
In accordance with applicable law, you can ask us in writing at any time whether and what personal data we have stored about you. You will receive a corresponding message immediately.
Security of your data
Your personal data provided to us is secured by taking all technical and organizational security measures so that it is inaccessible to unauthorized third parties. When sending very sensitive data or information, it is recommended to use the postal service, as complete data security cannot be guaranteed by email.
