1. HOW HAMELIN PEST LTD WILL BE PROCESSING PERSONAL DATA

WE PROCESS PERSONAL DATA FOR THE FOLLOWING PURPOSES:
A) ACCESS DATA IN SERVER LOG FILES
You can visit our website without providing any personal information. Each time a web page is called up, the web server merely automatically stores a so-called server log file which contains, for example, the name of the requested file, your IP address, the date and time of access, the data volume transferred and the requesting provider (access data), and documents the retrieval.
This access data is evaluated exclusively for the purpose of ensuring interference-free operation of the page and to improve our offer. In balancing the various interests, this serves to safeguard our legitimate interests in the correct presentation of our offer.

B) DATA COLLECTION AND USE IN CONNECTION WITH CONTRACT PROCESSING AND OPENING A CUSTOMER ACCOUNT
We collect personal data (name, address, email address and telephone number) if you voluntarily provide it to us in connection with your order, when you contact us (e.g. by contact form or email), or open a customer account. Mandatory fields are marked as such, since in these cases, we need this information to process the contract or your contact message, or to open the customer account, and you cannot complete the order and/or open the account, or send the contact message without providing it. The information that is collected can be seen from the respective input forms. We use the data you provide to process the contract and handle your enquiries.
