PRIVACY POLICY

Respecting our customers' privacy is an important and serious issue for us. We want you to know which data we store, when and how we use it. Our data protection procedures are in conformity with the Federal Data Protection Act (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz - BDSG) and the Telemedia Act (Telemediengesetz - TMG).

Storage and use of personal data

uhrcenter stores and uses order and personal data including addresses and E-Mail addresses exclusively for carrying out its orders and possible complaints. We use your E-Mail address only for letters containing information on your order and, in case this is in accordance with your wishes, for our own newsletter or for a participation in one of our competitions. As they are highly sensitive, credit card data are not stored at uhrcenter. This means you have to enter your credit card data afresh for every order, but this is the safest method for you.

If we send the goods before payment, e.g. payment on invoice, we authorise our service provider Domnowski Inkasso GmbH, Am Pulverschoppen 17, 59071 Hamm to obtain creditworthiness related information from Schufa, InFoScore or Accumio in order to protect our interests where required. Your legitimate interests are respected according to legal requirements.
