We have made changes to our privacy policy in order to comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) which takes effect across the European Union from Friday, 25th May 2018.
Personal data
You can visit our site without entering any personal data.
We only retain your access data, without any reference to identifying factors such as your Internet provider or the site through which you reached us.
This information is provided to us automatically by our internet hoster, Domain Factory, in the form of logs for our hosting package.
Please view the relevant data protection documents provided by Domain Factory for further details on this matter.
Personal data will only be retained if the client gives permission, for example by using our contact form to contact us.
Our contact form only contains data fields relating to information that could be useful in replying to your message. Required fields are first name and surname, email address and telephone number. These required fields are clearly indicated, and the legal basis for the requirement is contained in Article 6 Paragraph 1 of the GDPR. You are of course entitled to voluntarily provide us with additional information. This data will then be saved and used to answer your contact request.
Our contact form also gives you the opportunity to permit us to send you (via email) additional information and/or advertising material with regard to Plek products. Such permission is entirely voluntary and in no way represents a precondition for contacting us. In this case, your contact information will be stored in an online marketing tool run by MailChimp.
Please see MailChimp‘s privacy policy for further details.
Existing Plek customers are also able to receive a customer newsletter, but only after explicit opt-in. Opt-in is not possible via this website.

YouTube Videos
Our website makes use of YouTube plug-ins (YouTube.de/YouTube.com), operated, via Google Inc., by YouTube, LLC, Cherry Ave., USA. When you search for us on the Internet using a website equipped with these plug-ins, a connection is set up to YouTube’s server and the plug-in will be shown via a message on your browser. Through this action the YouTube server will know which of our websites you have visited. If you are logged in as a YouTube member, YouTube will assign this information to your personal account on their platform. When using these plug-ins, for example by clicking on the start button of a video or posting a comment, information will be assigned to your YouTube user account. This process can only be avoided by logging out before using the plug-ins.
