Privacy Policy
Contents
This Privacy Policy explains how Auto Pieroth Leasing OHG ("we", "us", "our") handles personal data collected through auto-pieroth.org (the "Site"). The Site is informational only: we do not sell vehicles, arrange leasing contracts, or process payments here.
1. Who is responsible for your data
The data controller responsible for this Site is:
Auto Pieroth Leasing OHG
In der Weide 5
55411 Bingen
Deutschland
Email: support@auto-pieroth.org
Phone: +49 6721 91440
2. Scope of this policy
This policy covers data collected when you browse the Site, use the contact form, or otherwise interact with pages under auto-pieroth.org. It does not cover any offline conversations, phone calls, or in-person visits, which may be governed by separate arrangements agreed at the time.
3. Data we collect
- Contact form data: name, email address, optional phone number, selected topic, and the message you write.
- Cookie preference: a record of whether you accepted or declined optional cookies, stored in your browser.
- Basic technical data: standard web server logs such as browser type and approximate access time, to the extent your hosting or browser generates them.
We do not knowingly collect financial account details, government identification numbers, or other sensitive categories of data through this Site.
4. Why we process your data
- To respond to enquiries submitted through the contact form.
- To remember your cookie preference so we don't ask again unnecessarily.
- To keep the Site secure and functioning correctly.
5. Legal basis for processing
Where the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies, we rely on the following legal bases: your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) for optional cookies and for submitting the contact form; our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) in operating a secure, functioning website; and, where applicable, the steps necessary to respond to a request you make before any contract is formed (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR).
6. Sharing of data
We do not sell personal data. Contact form submissions on this Site are prepared as a draft email through your own device and sent using your own email application — we do not automatically receive form data through a server-side process. Limited technical data may be visible to our hosting provider as part of normal website operation.
7. Third-party services embedded on this site
To keep the Site fast and legible, we load a small number of resources from third parties. When your browser requests these resources, the third party may receive your IP address and basic request information, in line with its own privacy practices:
- Google Fonts (Google Ireland Limited) — used to display the Site's typefaces.
- Phosphor Icons (delivered via the unpkg content delivery network) — used to display interface icons.
- OpenStreetMap — used to display the location map on the Contact page.
None of these services are used by us for advertising or cross-site tracking on this Site.
8. How long we keep data
Messages you send us are kept only for as long as needed to respond to your enquiry and for a reasonable period afterwards in case of follow-up, after which they are deleted. Cookie preference records remain in your own browser until you clear your browser data or withdraw consent.
9. Your rights
If the GDPR applies to you, you have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data, to restrict or object to certain processing, and to request data portability. You also have the right to withdraw consent at any time without affecting processing carried out before withdrawal, and the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, such as the data protection authority responsible for Rheinland-Pfalz. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details above.
10. Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect information sent to us. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
11. Children's privacy
This Site is intended for adults researching vehicle retail and leasing options. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.
12. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the Site or applicable law. The date at the top of this page indicates the most recent revision.
