(“Information on data Processing” as pdf below)
We, Katjes Fassin GmbH + Co. KG, take the protection of your personal data very seriously and strictly abide by the rules of the data privacy regulations.

You can use our online services without revealing your identity.

The personal data collected in the context of the contact form will be erased once your inquiry or comment has been processed (generally after around six months, except in unusual cases), or alternatively following the retention period relevant for tax and commercial law purposes.
You can withdraw your previously given consent at any time without stating a reason, either using the above-mentioned contact form or by sending an email to info@katjes.de or our data protection officer.
