T.M. TextilhandelsGmbH · since 2007T.M. TextilhandelsGmbH · since 2007The following information gives a simple overview of what happens to your personal data when you visit this website. Personal data is any data that can be used to identify you personally. Detailed information on data protection can be found in our privacy policy below.
Data processing on this website is carried out by the website operator. You can find the operator's contact details in the section "Information about the controller" in this privacy policy.
Some of your data is collected because you give it to us. This may, for example, be data that you enter in our contact form or send to us by email or telephone.
Other data is collected automatically by the hosting provider's IT systems when you visit the website. This is mainly technical data (e.g. web browser, operating system or time of the page request). This data is collected automatically as soon as you enter this website.
Part of the data is collected to ensure that the website is provided without errors and securely. We use data that you send to us via the contact form, by email or by telephone exclusively to handle your enquiry. We use Google Analytics 4 only on the basis of your consent (see the section "Google Analytics 4 (consent-based)"). Without your consent via the cookie banner, no analysis or tracking takes place.
You have the right at any time to receive information free of charge about the origin, recipients and purpose of your stored personal data. You also have the right to request that this data be corrected or deleted. If you have given consent to data processing, you can withdraw this consent at any time with effect for the future. You also have the right, under certain circumstances, to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted. Furthermore, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. You can contact us at any time about this and any other questions on data protection.
We host the content of our website with an external service provider (host). The personal data collected on this website is stored on the host's servers. This may include, in particular, IP addresses, contact requests, metadata and communication data, and other data generated through a website.
The provider is IONOS SE, Elgendorfer Straße 57, 56410 Montabaur, Germany ("IONOS"). The servers are located in Germany or the European Union. When you visit our website, IONOS records various log files including your IP address. For details, see the IONOS privacy policy: https://www.ionos.de/terms-gtc/terms-privacy/.
Hosting is used to fulfil our (pre-)contractual obligations towards our potential and existing customers (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) and in the interest of secure, fast and efficient provision of our online offer by a professional provider (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Where consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG, insofar as the consent covers the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent can be withdrawn at any time.
We have concluded, or will conclude, a data processing agreement (DPA) within the meaning of Art. 28 GDPR for the use of the above service. This is a contract required by data protection law which ensures that the provider processes the personal data of our website visitors only in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.
The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.
When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is data that can be used to identify you personally. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this happens.
Please note that data transmission over the internet (e.g. when communicating by email) may have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.
The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:
T.M. Textilhandels GmbH
Represented by the managing directors Tauseef A. Sagri and Wasif A. Sagri
Philipp-Reis-Straße 4 63128 Dietzenbach, Germany
Phone: +49 6074 6973272 Email: kontakt@tm-textil.de
The controller is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g. names, email addresses, etc.).
Unless a more specific storage period is stated in this privacy policy, your personal data remains with us until the purpose of the processing no longer applies. If you make a justified request for deletion or withdraw your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, the data will be deleted once these reasons no longer apply.
If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR if special categories of data under Art. 9(1) GDPR are processed. In the case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, the processing is also based on Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to access to information on your device, the processing is additionally based on § 25(1) TDDDG. Consent can be withdrawn at any time. If your data is required to perform a contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. We also process your data where this is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation, on the basis of Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. Data processing may also be based on our legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The relevant legal bases in each individual case are explained in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.
In the course of our business, we work with various external parties (e.g. the hosting provider). Personal data is only transferred to these parties if this is necessary to perform a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so, if we have a legitimate interest in the transfer or if you have consented to it. If data is passed on to a processor, this is done on the basis of a data processing agreement under Art. 28 GDPR.
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can withdraw consent you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of the processing carried out until the withdrawal remains unaffected.
IF THE DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RELEVANT LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA CONCERNED UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21(1) GDPR).
IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED 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 INSOFAR AS IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21(2) GDPR).
In the event of breaches of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of their habitual residence, their place of work or the place of the alleged breach. The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies. The competent supervisory authority for our company is the Hessian Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (Der Hessische Beauftragte für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit, Postfach 3163, 65021 Wiesbaden, Germany, www.datenschutz.hessen.de).
You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in performance of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done where technically feasible.
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients and the purpose of the data processing and, where applicable, a right to correction or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time about this and any other questions on personal data.
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us about this at any time. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data – apart from its storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a member state.
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as enquiries you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the browser's address bar changing from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser bar. When SSL/TLS encryption is active, the data you send to us cannot be read by third parties.
We hereby object to the use of contact data published as part of our legal notice obligation for sending unsolicited advertising and information material. The operators of these pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited advertising, for example through spam emails.
This website uses cookies or local storage in only two cases: (1) technically necessary functions (e.g. language selection and login to the protected dealer area) and (2) Google Analytics 4 – the latter only after your express consent via the cookie banner. We do not use marketing cookies. Analytics cookies are only set after your consent. Details can be found in the section "Google Analytics 4 (consent-based)".
Only one technically necessary piece of information is stored locally in your browser ("local storage"): your chosen display language (German, English or Chinese) is saved so that the website is shown in your preferred language on your next visit. This storage contains no personal data, is not transferred to us or third parties and is strictly necessary for the function you requested. The legal basis is § 25(2) no. 2 TDDDG and our legitimate interest in a user-friendly provision of the website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
You can delete this local storage at any time in your browser settings and prevent it in future. If you disable it, the functionality of this website may be limited.
For the protected dealer/price list area, we set a technically necessary session cookie after login. Its only purpose is to recognise you as logged in during your visit; it has no advertising or tracking function and is deleted at the latest when you log out or close the browser. The legal basis is § 25(2) no. 2 TDDDG (strictly necessary) and Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
The provider of the pages (hosting provider) automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:
This data is not merged with other data sources. The data is collected on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimisation of its website – for this purpose, the server log files must be recorded.
If you send us enquiries via the contact form, your details from the enquiry form, including the contact details you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of handling the enquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent. The form is sent server-side via our hosting provider (see the section "Hosting"); no additional external form or email service provider is used for this.
This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your enquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of enquiries sent to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if this was requested; consent can be withdrawn at any time.
The data you enter in the contact form remains with us until you ask us to delete it, withdraw your consent to storage or the purpose of the data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your enquiry has been handled). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.
If you contact us by email, telephone or fax, your enquiry, including all resulting personal data (name, enquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We do not pass on this data without your consent.
This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your enquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of enquiries sent to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if this was requested; consent can be withdrawn at any time.
The data you send to us in contact requests remains with us until you ask us to delete it, withdraw your consent to storage or the purpose of the data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been handled). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.
This website uses Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland — exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, § 25(1) TDDDG). Processing only takes place after you have actively agreed in the cookie banner; without consent, no analytics cookies are set and no analytics script is loaded. The IP address is anonymised (anonymize_ip). Data may be transferred to Google and processed in the USA. You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future using the "Cookie settings" button at the bottom left.
This website uses the fonts "Cormorant Garamond" and "Jost" for a consistent display of fonts. These fonts are installed locally on this website's server and are loaded from there. No connection is made to servers of Google or other third parties; no data is transferred to third parties when the fonts are displayed.
All images, logos and other media content on this website are loaded locally from our own server. No content from third-party servers (e.g. logo or image services) is embedded; visiting this website therefore does not transfer any personal data to such third parties.
"TM Stock Check" is an internal app for our employees (iPhone and Android). It is used to check stock levels, book stock movements, request cartons and pick customer orders. It can only be used with a personal login issued by us.
Username and display name, the password (stored only in encrypted form as a hash), login times, IP address and device type (e.g. "Apple iPhone"), and the actions carried out in the app (e.g. stock bookings, carton requests, picking) in an activity log. The camera is used only to scan barcodes; camera images are neither stored nor transmitted. In addition, our server records the IP address, the time and the requested address, including any search terms entered, in a log file for every request. These logs are deleted automatically after 14 days.
The data is used for login, to keep stock bookings traceable and for security (e.g. detecting unusual logins). It is transmitted in encrypted form (HTTPS) to our own server and stored there. It is not passed on to third parties. The app contains no advertising, no tracking and no third-party analytics services.
The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (performance of the employment relationship) and Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in traceable and secure warehouse management). Entries in the activity log are deleted automatically after 24 months. A login on a device expires after 30 days. When an account is no longer needed, it is deactivated.
Please send any questions about the app to the controller named above.
