When personal data is processed to fulfill the duties of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 Section 1 point (b) of the GDPR legally applies. This also applies to processing processes that are required to implement pre-contractual measures.
If personal data is processed to comply with legal obligations that our company is subject to, Art. 6 Section 1 point (c) of the GDPR is the legal basis.

- Date and time of access
- Websites from which the system accessed our website
- Websites the system calls from our website
The temporary storage of IP addresses by the system is required to provide the website to the computer accessing it. Therefore, the IP address must be stored for the duration of the session.
The log files contain IP addresses and other data that make it possible to associate them with a user. This can apply if the link to the website from which the user accesses our website, or the link to the website to which the user switches contains personal data.
The data is also stored in the log files of our system. This data is not stored together with other personal user data.
The log files are saved to ensure proper functionality of the website. The data also let us optimize the website and ensure the security of our information technology systems.
To analyze trends, manage our website, track user movement, evaluate demographic information, and compile statistics on the daily number of visitors and daily inquiries about particular files, we also collect technical data including IP addresses. However, these are anonymous and are not linked to personal data.
We save search entries and queries in forms, for example, for statistical purposes or for website administration, but these entries are evaluated without reference to you personally.
Personal data is requested in forms for various purposes, depending on the type of form: for example, to process support inquiries, to sign up for events, or to provide information materials. It is your decision whether to use such a form to contact us.
Inquiries from countries that have a local MBE Drahttechnik company or a distributor (see www.MBE Drahttechnik.com) are forwarded to that company/distributor if this is considered the faster, more efficient method to process the inquiry.
No other personal data is stored unless you provided it voluntarily, for example, when registering or when completing a questionnaire.
