Privacy Statement

of Gepe Produkte AG (Gepe)

Gepe respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information that you decide to share with us when you visit our web site. The purpose of this policy statement is to explain the type of information Gepe collects from visitors to our website, how we collect it, what we use it for and how visitors can restrict the use or disclosure of personally identifiable information.

1. Information we collect
Gepe only obtains personal information that a visitor to gepe.com voluntarily and knowingly provides. This means that you can visit our website without telling us who you are or revealing any information about yourself. To measure the performance of and continually improve our website, we do, however, collect some generic information about our visitors. This information may include: your IP address, browser type, operating system, domain name, access times and referring Web site addresses. We aggregate this information and use it for the operation of the website, to improve quality and performance of the website and to provide general statistics regarding use of gepe.com.

Gepe may collect personally identifiable information through this website and is the sole owner of such information. Personal information includes any information that may be used to identify you, including, but not limited to, a first and last name, email address, a home, postal or other physical address, and potentially other information when needed to provide a product or service you request.

2. Information Use, Sharing and Disclosure
When visitors use our website to order products, or to request information about them, we may use the individual information as we would use the same information obtained off-line - for example, to evaluate your needs and contact you regarding additional products, information or services that we believe you may find useful. You have the right to choose not to receive this information by notifying us of your preference.
We do not sell individual information obtained on-line about our visitors. And, we will not disclose the personal information you provide to us via the website to parties unaffiliated with Gepe unless you specifically authorize it, we believe it is reasonably required by law or we believe that disclosure is reasonably required to protect the safety of customers, employees or property.
Gepe uses a variety of third party contractors to perform services such as website management and hosting, online product purchases and shipping, credit card processing and email marketing. In such instances, your personal information may be shared with these agents or contractors but only for the purpose of performing services on behalf of Gepe and in accordance with this privacy policy. In addition, if Gepe gets acquired by another company, your personal information will, in most instances, be part of the assets transferred to the successor company.
We will always give you the opportunity to "opt out" of receiving direct marketing or market research information. This means we assume you have given us your consent to collect and use your information in accordance with this policy unless you take affirmative action to indicate that you do not consent, for instance by clicking or checking the appropriate option or box at the point of collection.

3. Security
Gepe uses a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. For example, we store the personal information you provide in computer servers with limited access that are located in controlled facilities. When we transmit sensitive information (such as a credit card number) over the internet, we protect it through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol. We require our employees to protect the privacy of information about our customers and expect our partners and suppliers to do so as well.

4. Email
Gepe does not send unsolicited "junk" email (spam). We may use email to communicate with our visitors, to respond to visitors' emails, to confirm orders placed online, and to send information that a visitor has requested. If you receive an unwanted email from us, you can reply to the email to ask not to receive future emails.

5. Children and Privacy
The Gepe website does not target and is not intended to attract children. Gepe does not knowingly solicit personal information from children or send them requests for personal information.

6. Third Party Sites
Gepe's website may contain links to other websites that are operated by third parties. Gepe does not share your personal information with those websites, nor are we responsible for their privacy practices. We encourage you to learn about the privacy policies of those companies.

7. Notice of changes to this policy
Gepe will update this privacy policy statement from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "last updated" date at the bottom of this page.
