The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the legal data protection regulations and this privacy policy.
When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is data that can be used to personally identify you. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and how we use it. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.
We would like to point out that data transmission over the internet (e.g., when communicating by email) may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.
Note on the Responsible Entity
The responsible entity for data processing on this website is:
Magnetworld AG
Buchaer Straße 6
07745 Jena
Phone: +49 3641 31 06-500
Email: info@magnet-world.de
The responsible entity is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, email addresses, etc.).
Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke consent that has already been given at any time. An informal email notification to us is sufficient for this purpose. The legality of the data processing carried out before the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and Direct Marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
If data processing is carried out based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to the processing of your personal data; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. You can find the respective legal basis for processing in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims (objection under Art. 21(1) GDPR).
If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for the purpose of such advertising; 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 direct marketing purposes (objection under Art. 21(2) GDPR).
Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Supervisory Authority
In the event of violations 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 remedies.
Right to Data Portability
You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another responsible party, this will only be done to the extent technically feasible.
SSL or TLS Encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line. When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Information, Blocking, Deletion, and Correction
Within the scope of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient, and the purpose of data processing, and, if necessary, a right to correction, blocking, or deletion of this data. For further information on personal data, you can contact us at any time at the address provided in the legal notice.
Right to Restriction of Processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. For this purpose, you can contact us at any time at the address provided in the legal notice. The right to restrict processing exists in the following cases:
1. If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the audit, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
2. If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
3. If we no longer need your personal data but you need it for the exercise, defense, or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
4. 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 is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
5. If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data – apart from its storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense 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.
Objection to Promotional Emails
We hereby expressly prohibit the use of contact data published in the context of website legal notice requirements with regard to sending promotional and informational materials not expressly requested. The website operators expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of promotional information, such as spam emails.

Data Collection on our Website

Cookies
The websites partially use so-called cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies are used to make our offer more user-friendly, effective, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.
Most of the cookies we use are so-called "session cookies." They are automatically deleted after your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognize your browser on your next visit.
You can set your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when you close your browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.
Cookies that are required for the performance of electronic communication processes or for the provision of certain functions you request (e.g., shopping cart functionality) are stored based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If other cookies (e.g., cookies for analyzing your browsing behavior) are stored, they will be treated separately in this privacy policy.
Server Log Files
The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:
1. Browser type and browser version
2. Operating system used
3. Referrer URL
4. Hostname of the accessing computer
5. Time of the server request
6. IP address
A merging of this data with other data sources is not carried out.
The collection of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of its website – for this purpose, the server log files must be collected.
Contact Form
If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provided there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We will not share this data without your consent.
The processing of the data entered into the contact form is, therefore, based exclusively on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. An informal email notification to us is sufficient for this purpose. The legality of the data processing operations carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
The data you enter into the contact form will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to its storage, or the purpose for which it was stored no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions – especially retention periods – remain unaffected.
Inquiries via Email, Telephone, or Fax
If you contact us via email, telephone, or fax, your inquiry, including all personal data (name, inquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We will not share this data without your consent.
The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, provided your inquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) and/or our legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR), as we have a legitimate interest in the effective processing of the inquiries sent to us.
The data you send to us via contact requests will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to its storage, or the purpose for which it was stored no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions – especially legal retention periods – remain unaffected.

YouTube with Enhanced Data Protection
Our website uses plugins from the YouTube website. The operator of the pages is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
We use YouTube in the enhanced data protection mode. According to YouTube, this mode ensures that YouTube does not store information about visitors to this website before they view the video. However, the enhanced data protection mode does not necessarily exclude the sharing of data with YouTube partners. Regardless of whether you watch a video, YouTube establishes a connection to the Google DoubleClick network.
When you start a YouTube video on our website, a connection to YouTube's servers is established. This informs the YouTube server which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you allow YouTube to associate your browsing behavior directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.
Furthermore, after starting a video, YouTube may store various cookies on your device. With the help of these cookies, YouTube can obtain information about visitors to our website. Among other things, this information is used to collect video statistics, improve user-friendliness, and prevent fraud. The cookies remain on your device until you delete them.
Additional data processing operations may be triggered after starting a YouTube video, over which we have no influence.
The use of YouTube is in the interest of presenting our online offerings in an appealing manner. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
