Data Protection
We, EMS GmbH, take the protection of your private data very seriously. Therefore, we comply with statutory provisions for data protection. In the sections below, we briefly explain how we protect your data and what it means for you when you make use of our online offering.

This data is analyzed by EMS GmbH so that we can familiarise ourselves with and evaluate user behaviour. We do not make use of personal data in the process.
Personal data
Personal data is information that is used explicitly to determine your identity. It includes information such as your name, your e-mail address and your postal address. The only time we save personal data in addition to your access data is if you give us this information voluntarily, e.g. as part of a registration, a contact inquiry, registration for a newsletter or an online order. Moreover, personal data is used only to the extent necessary and only for the legally permissible purpose for which you gave your consent. All data is stored on specially protected servers. Using our order system is regarded as consenting to the storage and use of your data by EMS GmbH and its partners.
Passing on personal data to third parties
EMS GmbH renders some of its services together with selected partners. These partners are subject to the same strict statutory provisions for data protection. Personal data is only passed on:
• when processing order-related data, such as for online orders; and
• in individual cases, provided you have given your prior consent.
Additional information – such as voluntary statements about your primary areas of interest – is not passed on to third parties by EMS GmbH. Personal data is conveyed to state institutions and authorities only within the scope of statutory or judicial obligations.
Power of revocation
If you request in writing that EMS GmbH cease from using or delete your personal data, we shall do so immediately. If you are registered as a user, we also offer you the opportunity to view the data for yourself and delete or change as necessary.
