Privacy Policy

The protection of your personal data is a matter of great importance to us, Döpke Spedition. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is data with which you can be personally identified. This declaration explains what data we collect, how, and for what purpose we use it.

We point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., when communicating by email) can have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data from third-party access is not possible.

Information on the Responsible Party

The responsible party in the sense of the GDPR is:

Döpke Spedition GmbH & Co. KG
Industriestraße 6
27432 Bremervörde
Germany

Phone: +49 (0) 4761 98680

Unless a more specific storage period is mentioned in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing ceases to apply. If you assert a legitimate request for erasure or revoke given consent, your data will be deleted, provided that no legal retention obligations prevent this.

Information on Data Transfer to the USA and Other Third Countries

Among other things, our website integrates tools from companies based in third countries. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these countries and processed there. We point out that in third countries such as the USA, a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU cannot be guaranteed. For example, US authorities could access your data without you having an effective legal remedy against this. If you give your consent to the use of certain tools, data transfer will take place on this basis (Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a GDPR).

Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke consent already given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected.

If data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e or f GDPR, you have the right at any time to object to the processing of your personal data for reasons arising from your particular situation.
This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

If we process your data for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such marketing. This also applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing.
