Data that we collect...

You can use almost the entirety of Evonik Power Saar GmbH‘s web site without ever having to supply us with personal data. Only a fraction of the information and services located on our website require you to enter personal data in order to use them.

Whenever you use the Evonik Power Saar GmbH website, the Evonik Power Saar GmbH Internet server (web server) automatically records and evaluates technical access data. However, this data cannot be attributed to a specific person, which means that the individual user remains anonymous.

This data is sent to our web server when individual Internet pages are called by your Internet browser.

We also add cookies to some areas of our website.

We use this technical access data to continually enhance the appeal, usability and contents of our website, and to detect any technical problems with the site.
 

Personal data

We collect, process and utilise your personal data only if you provide us with it voluntarily.

This can occur in connection with a query, an opinion survey, a desire on your part to contact us, an order placed by you, etc.

We also require your personal data when you wish to make use of particular services (insofar as such services may be offered) on the Evonik Power Saar GmbH website such as the newsletter or forums. Should you decide to avail yourself of such a service, you will find for each service extensive information and pointers about the type, scope and utilisation of the data that is required in order to use the service in question.
