Privacy: Message Data Explained

This notice explains the distinction between text prepared locally and information you choose to send to us.

Controller and contact

Trailscootermeter Prüfmedien GmbH, Industriestraße 16, 90441 Nürnberg, Germany, is responsible for personal data processed for this website and its editorial correspondence. Registration: Amtsgericht Nürnberg, HRB 42619. Privacy enquiries may be sent to [email protected].

Text prepared in your browser

The contact memo tool constructs a preview in browser memory. It does not upload your subject or question, store them in localStorage or send them to an AI service. Copying uses the browser’s Clipboard API when available and only after you select the copy control. Downloading creates a plain-text file on your device. Your browser, operating system, clipboard manager or cloud backup may retain copies under your own settings.

Refreshing or leaving the page clears the tool’s in-memory text, although browser form restoration may preserve input. You control any downloaded files and copied text.

Email correspondence

If you send an email, we receive your address, message, any information you include and ordinary email metadata. We use these to address the enquiry, manage editorial corrections and maintain necessary correspondence. The legal basis is our legitimate interest under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR in handling relevant communications, or Article 6(1)(b) where correspondence concerns a contract or pre-contractual request. Applicable legal obligations may require processing under Article 6(1)(c).

Please avoid sending sensitive personal data, medical information or private incident records. We do not need those details to discuss editorial wording.

Website access and recipients

Delivering web pages necessarily involves technical information such as an IP address, requested file, request time and browser-related headers. Hosting infrastructure may process security and access logs to deliver the site, investigate faults and prevent misuse. The relevant basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, reflecting the legitimate interest in reliable and secure operation.

Hosting and email service providers may process information on our behalf where needed to provide those services. Information may also be disclosed where legally required. This site’s own code contains no advertising, analytics, external fonts or third-party image requests. Following an external source link places you under that destination’s privacy practices.

Retention and transfers

Correspondence is retained only as long as needed for the enquiry, follow-up, legal obligations or the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. Technical data should be retained only for operational and security needs. The exact period depends on the purpose and any applicable legal requirement rather than an indefinite default.

Where a service arrangement involves a transfer outside the European Economic Area, applicable GDPR transfer requirements must be met, such as an adequacy decision or appropriate safeguards. You may request information about safeguards relevant to your data.

Your rights

Subject to the applicable conditions, you can request access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing and data portability. You may object to processing based on legitimate interests on grounds relating to your particular situation. Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw it without affecting earlier lawful processing.

You can complain to a data protection supervisory authority, including the Bavarian State Office for Data Protection Supervision. Contact us using the address above to exercise your rights; we may need proportionate information to verify your identity.
