1. Purpose of processing personal data
If you have made personal data available to us, we will use it exclusively for the purpose of technical administration of our websites and to fulfill your wishes and requirements, i.e. usually to answer your inquiry.

2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data
If we obtain your consent to process personal data, Art. 6 (1) (a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data. If personal data is necessary to fulfill a contract to which you are a party, Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. If processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
If processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and your interests, fundamental rights and freedoms do not outweigh the former interest, Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing.

3. Recipients or categories of recipients of the personal data

Within Autohaus Volkmann, those departments that need your data to fulfill your wishes and requirements will have access to it. Service providers and vicarious agents employed by us may also receive data for these purposes.
Your personal data will not be passed on or otherwise transmitted to third parties unless this is necessary for the purpose of processing the contract. For example, it may be necessary for us to pass on your address and order details to our suppliers when you order products; this is necessary for billing purposes; you have previously consented.

4. Storage period

Your personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose for storing it no longer applies. Storage may also take place if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which we are subject. The data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need to continue storing the data for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.

Provision of the website and creation of log files
a) Description and scope of data processing

Each time our website is accessed, our system automatically records data and information from the computer system of the accessing computer.

The following data is collected:
Information about the browser type and version used
The user's operating system
The user's IP address
date and time of access
Websites from which the user's system accesses our website
Websites accessed by the user's system via our website
The data is also stored in the log files of our system. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.

b) Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

c) Purpose of data processing

The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable the website to be delivered to the user's computer. For this purpose, the user's IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session.
The data is stored in log files to ensure the functionality of the website. We also use the data to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. The data is not evaluated for marketing purposes in this context.
Our legitimate interest in data processing pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR also lies in these purposes.

d) Duration of storage

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. If the data is collected to provide the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended.
If the data is stored in log files, this will be the case after 1 month at the latest.


e) Possibility of objection and removal

The collection of data to provide the website and the storage of data in log files is essential for the operation of the website. Consequently, the user has no option to object.


your rights

You have the right to information pursuant to Article 15 GDPR, the right to rectification pursuant to Article 16 GDPR, the right to erasure pursuant to Article 17 GDPR, the right to restriction of processing pursuant to Article 18 GDPR, the right to data portability pursuant to Article 20 GDPR and the right to object pursuant to Article 21 GDPR.
You can revoke your consent to the processing of personal data at any time. Please note that the revocation only applies to the future. Data processing that took place before the revocation is not affected.

To exercise your rights, please use one of the contact details provided in sections I and II.



If you believe that the processing of your data violates data protection law or that your data protection rights have otherwise been violated in any way, you can also complain to a supervisory authority.

Are you obliged to provide personal data?

You must provide the personal data that is necessary for the initiation and implementation of our business relationship and that we require to process the respective order. If you do not provide us with data, we will generally have to refuse to conclude a contract or execute the order or we will no longer be able to implement an existing contract and will therefore have to terminate it.
