Privacy policy

Last updated: 4 August 2026

This privacy policy jointly covers adot-reinigungsmittel.de, grosshandel.adot-reinigungsmittel.de and related business communications.

1. Controller

ADOT Wasch- und Reinigungsmittel
Owner: Ayhan Deveci
Gladbacher Straße 328, 47805 Krefeld, Germany
Phone: 0163 408 7082
Email: info@adot-reinigungsmittel.de

No data protection officer has been appointed. Please use the email address above for privacy requests.

2. Purposes and legal bases

We process personal data only as needed for secure website operation, enquiries, pre-contractual steps, contract performance, legal obligations or legitimate business interests, or with consent. The principal legal bases are Article 6(1)(a), (b), (c) and (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interests are secure delivery, abuse prevention, efficient communication and the establishment or defence of legal claims.

3. Hosting and server logs

The websites and mailboxes are hosted by ALL-INKL.COM – Neue Medien Münnich, owner René Münnich, Hauptstraße 68, 02742 Friedersdorf, Germany, as processor on servers in Germany.

Each request generates necessary log data: IP address, date/time, requested file or URL, referrer, access status, transferred volume, browser, operating system and language. Purposes are delivery, stability, troubleshooting and attack prevention (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). The host states that logs are normally deleted within seven days; data connected with a security incident may be retained until it is resolved.

4. Enquiry and contact forms

Depending on the form, we process name, company, email, phone, industry, category, product, quantity, destination/postcode, message, language, source page and form start time. Required fields are needed to allocate and answer the B2B enquiry; without them it cannot be handled.

Data is encrypted in transit and delivered to ADOT through the hosted mail system. No separate website customer database is created. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR for pre-contractual or contractual matters and Article 6(1)(f) for other business communication and abuse prevention. The privacy checkbox records acknowledgement of this notice; it is not consent to the processing needed to handle the enquiry.

Enquiries not leading to a contract are deleted when communication is complete unless further retention is required; they may normally be retained for up to the statutory three-year limitation period to defend potential claims.

5. Email, telephone and WhatsApp

For email or telephone contact we process the supplied details and content under Article 6(1)(b) or (f) GDPR. The deletion criteria in sections 4 and 6 apply.

WhatsApp is only an external link; loading our website does not contact WhatsApp. If you open the link or write to us, ADOT and WhatsApp Ireland Limited, Merrion Road, Dublin 4, D04 X2K5, Ireland, each process phone number, profile, communication and metadata under their respective responsibility. WhatsApp's privacy policy also applies. Prefer email or telephone for particularly confidential information.

6. Quotations, contracts, advance payment and retention

For quotations, orders and contracts we process contact-person, company, delivery, communication, contract, invoice and payment data for contract performance (Article 6(1)(b)), legal accounting/tax duties (Article 6(1)(c)) and legal claims (Article 6(1)(f)). Necessary recipients may include carriers, logistics providers, banks, tax advisers, IT/email providers and authorities.

Commercial and tax records are generally retained for six, eight or ten years depending on document type and are then deleted unless a longer legal duty or pending proceeding applies.

7. Local storage and the necessary consent-choice cookie

The main website stores your enquiry list and quantities in browser localStorage. Temporary form transfers and recently viewed content may remain in sessionStorage until the session ends. They stay on your device until you submit an enquiry and can be removed by clearing the list or browser storage.

Your analytics choice for both hosts is stored for no more than six months in the necessary first-party cookie adot_analytics_consent_v3, so the choice is respected and the banner is not repeated on every page. The legal bases are Section 25(2)(2) TDDDG and Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

8. Google Analytics 4 – consent only

Only after explicit consent do we load Google Analytics 4 with measurement ID G-8L72WFCBLV. The same measurement ID is used for the main website and wholesale subdomain; reporting is separated by hostname. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; Google LLC in the USA may further process data. The legal bases are Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG.

Data may include page views, time, referrer, hostname, approximate region, browser/device data and events such as product views, clicks on phone, email, WhatsApp or the other ADOT site, and successfully submitted enquiries. Form text, names, companies, email addresses, phone numbers and delivery addresses are not sent to Analytics. Google Signals, advertising storage/user data and personalised advertising are disabled. Google states that EU user IP addresses are used only to derive coarse location and discarded before logging.

The first-party cookies _ga and _ga_8L72WFCBLV are limited to six months. User and event data in the GA4 property is retained for no more than 14 months; aggregated reports may remain longer. Transfers to certified Google LLC rely on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, supplemented by EU Standard Contractual Clauses.

Consent can be withdrawn for the future through Cookie settings in the footer. JavaScript-accessible Analytics cookies are then deleted and further transmissions blocked. Processing before withdrawal remains lawful. More information: Google privacy policy.

9. External links

A connection to another provider, especially WhatsApp, is made only after clicking its link. That provider is responsible for its processing. We do not embed external maps, videos, social plugins or webfonts.

10. Recipients and international transfers

Access is limited to authorised staff and the providers or recipient categories named here, as necessary. Transfers outside the EU/EEA require a legal basis, an adequacy decision – including the EU-US Data Privacy Framework for certified recipients – or safeguards such as EU Standard Contractual Clauses.

11. Required data and automated decisions

Providing form data is not legally or contractually mandatory, but required fields are necessary to handle the enquiry. We make no solely automated decision, including profiling, that produces legal or similarly significant effects.

12. Your rights

Subject to the law, you have rights of access (Article 15), rectification (16), erasure (17), restriction (18), portability (20) and complaint (77 GDPR). Consent can be withdrawn for the future at any time.

Objection under Article 21 GDPR: You may object, on grounds relating to your situation, to processing based on Article 6(1)(f). We will stop unless compelling legitimate grounds or legal claims apply.

13. Supervisory authority

You may complain to a data-protection authority. ADOT's competent authority is the Landesbeauftragte für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit Nordrhein-Westfalen, Kavalleriestraße 2–4, 40213 Düsseldorf, Germany, phone +49 211 38424-0, email poststelle@ldi.nrw.de.

14. Security and changes

Both websites use TLS encryption. We apply appropriate technical and organisational safeguards and update this notice when processing, services or law changes. The version published on the website applies.
