For some services, such as our snow chain shop for example, we ask for your personal information, e.g. name, information about your vehicle and your address, in order to be able to provide the respective service quickly and conveniently or to be able to offer the service at all (for example we need your address to be able to send your order). Detailed information about all the services available on our website is contained in this data protection declaration.

2. Data that we receive as a result of your use of our services:

Some data is collected automatically and for technical reasons whenever you visit our website. This includes the webserver's log data. Every time you access one of our sites and download a file, access data about this procedure is saved in a logfile on our server. Each data set comprises:

  • The site page from which the new site or file was requested
  • The name of the called file or site
  • The date and time of the request, the success of the request and the server capacity at the time of the request

II. Individual services

Snow chain advisor and webshop

With the snow chain advisor, RUD offers you the possibility to select snow chains for your vehicle. Information about your vehicle is needed for this. This information is not saved or evaluated by us or by our service provider, which technically manages the application. We only record the data needed to process and confirm the order. This includes the following data: Company or forename and surname, road, house number, post code, city, state, email address (for order confirmation). Fields marked with * are mandatory fields. To pay by credit card, it is necessary to provide your full credit card details, i.e. the card number, expiry date, name of the cardholder, and the CVC code (tree or four-digit number on the reverse of the card). To pay by direct debit, it is necessary to provide the account holder, bank's name, sort code and account number. The personal data of the orderer is encrypted automatically by SSL protocol (Secure Sockets Layer Protocol). SSL is the industry standard for transferring confidential data via the internet. The personal data of the orderer is collected, processed and used exclusively for the purpose of processing the order in accordance with the provisions of the Data Protection Act. We carry out a credit check before each order. We obtain information about your previous payment behaviour and creditworthiness information based on mathematical-statistical procedures using your address details from B+S Card Service GmbH, Lyoner Strasse 9, D-60528 Frankfurt/Main. We only use the results of the credit check to decide whether to accept your offer. We will be happy to provide you with information about the data saved about you. For more about this, see the General information section in this data protection declaration.

III. Use of a newsletter

In view of the discussion regarding the use of analysis tools with complete IP addresses, we would like to point out that this website uses Google Analytics with the extension "_anonymizeIp()" and therefore IP addresses are only processed in shortened form in order to prevent personal identification. Specifically for browsers on mobile devices, please click this link in order to prevent the anonymised collection by Google Analytics on this website for your browser in future using an "Opt-Out-Cookie".

This will prevent your data from being transferred to Google when you first enter the page.
After activation, Google Maps will save your IP address. This is then usually transferred to a Google server in the US and stored there. The provider of this site has no influence on this data transfer after activating Google Maps.
