Personal Data

Waitz & Richter GmbH does not collect any personal data (e.g., name, address, phone number, or email address) through our website, unless you voluntarily provide us with such data (e.g., through registration), have consented to its collection, or applicable data protection laws permit it.

We use the personal data you provide to inform you about offers, auctions, and sales events.

Communication-related or usage-related data

When you access our websites via telecommunications services, communication-related data (e.g., Internet Protocol address) or usage-related data (e.g., information regarding the start and duration of use, as well as the telecommunications services you use) is automatically generated by technical means. This data may potentially allow for the identification of personal information. To the extent that the collection, processing, and use of your communication- or usage-related data is strictly necessary, this is subject to the legal regulations on data protection. Automatically collected non-personal data
When you access our websites, information that is not associated with a specific individual (e.g., the Internet browser and operating system used; the domain name of the website from which you came; the number of visits; average time spent on the site; pages viewed) is occasionally collected automatically (i.e., not via registration).

We use this information to assess the appeal of our websites and to improve their performance and content. 
“Cookies” – information automatically stored on your computer 
When you visit one of our websites, we may store information on your computer in the form of a “cookie,” which automatically recognizes your computer the next time you visit. Cookies allow us, for example, to tailor a website to your interests or to save your password so that you do not have to re-enter it each time. If you do not want us to recognize your computer, please set your internet browser to delete cookies from your computer’s hard drive, block all cookies, or warn you before a cookie is stored.
