Our website uses so-called social share buttons of the social networks Facebook, Pinterest and Twitter. In order to protect your data when you visit our website, these buttons are embedded into our website with a Shariff solution. This type of integration ensures that no connection is established with Facebook, Pinterest and Twitter ("Social Networks") servers when you access one of our websites that contains such buttons. Only by actively clicking on one of these buttons, and thereby consenting to the transmission of your data, will your browser establish a direct connection to the servers of the Social Network. When clicking on a social share button, the Social Network will only be notified that your browser has accessed a particular page of our website, even if you have no user profile with the Social Network in question or are currently not signed into your account. Your browser sends this information (including your IP address) directly to the server of the Social Network where it is stored, without us being able to control this transmission of data. If you are logged into your account with the Social Network, the Social Network can link your visit to our website directly to your profile. If you interact with a Social Network, for example by clicking the "Like" or the "Twitter" button, this information is also transmitted directly to a server of the Social Network. This information is published by the Social Network in question and subject to further processing by the Social Network.
Please refer to the Social Network's privacy policy for more information on how and why data is collected, processed and used further by the Social Network and on the rights and options you have to protect your privacy:
If you do not want the Social Network to directly link the data collected through our website to your profile on its service, you need to log out of the Social Network service before clicking on a social share button. Facebook is operated by Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland. Twitter is operated by Twitter Inc., 1355 Market St, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA.
Suppliers have the possibility to register themselves via the "Würth supplier registration".
The following categories of personal data are processed within the framework of supplier registration:
Personal data is processed for the performance of a contract. Any personal data provided voluntarily is processed on the lawful basis set out in Art. 6 (1f) GDPR, according to which we may process your personal data whenever this is in our legitimate interest. Our legitimate interest is being in touch with our suppliers improving the quality of our advice and services and being able to contact you directly should we need to check back with you.
We will store all data entered for the duration of our business relationship. Your data is deleted upon termination of the business relationship, subject to the applicable statutory retention periods.
