Privacy Policy

We are grateful about your interest in our website and our company.

Protecting your personal data when collected, processed (this covers storage, amendment, forwarding, blocking and deletion) and use when you visit our homepage is of utmost importance to us. Your data are protected within the framework of the statutory regulations, and are stored in a secure operating environment that is not accessible to the general public.

Below you will find information as to which data are collected during your visit to our website, and how these data are used:

1. The Collection, Processing and Use of Personal Data
Personal data are individual pieces of information concerning the personal or factual circumstance of a specific or specifiable natural person, including, for example, your name, postal address and telephone number.

In principle, none of your personal data are collected, processed and/or used during your use of our website. Personal data are only collected by Trend Food International GmbH when you voluntarily provide us with such data or corresponding legal provisions permit the collection of your data. The personal data which you voluntarily submit are only saved and used by Trend Food International GmbH for the purpose for which you have provided them to us; e.g. for receiving a newsletter, using personalised services, or receiving information about product updates, new products or research findings concerning future product ideas or improvements.

2. The Collection, Processing and Use of Usage Data
The term “usage data” refers to data which you do not actively provide, but that can be passively collected while, for example, you are exploring a website. The collected data help us to find out which information is the most interesting for our customers, and which offers are the most popular. If you do not wish to help Trend Food International GmbH to improve the website, you may ‘unsubscribe’ from the website analysis by disabling Java Script on your computer.

3. The Transfer and Deletion of Personal Data
Your personal data will only be passed on to third parties or otherwise transferred when this is required for the purpose of contract settlement and/or for invoicing purposes, or you have given prior consent to such a transfer. You are entitled to withdraw your consent, with future effect, at any time.

The personal data collected by Trend Food International GmbH will not be passed on to third parties without permission. Insofar as Trend Food International GmbH passes personal data on to third parties, in particular to partners, to the legally permitted extent or within the framework of your consent, these data shall be covered by the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and other statutory regulations. Trend Food International GmbH will only transfer your personal data to establishments entitled to receive information (e.g. authorities) if Trend Food International GmbH is obliged to do so under statutory regulations or by order of the court.

The deletion of the saved personal data will occur when you withdraw your consent to storage of the data, when your information is no longer required to fulfil the purpose for which it was stored, or when the storage is unreliable for other statutory reasons.

4. The Right to Cancellation and Information
You have the possibility to cancel your registration and the storage of your personal data connected to this at any time. You may do so by sending us an e-mail, or by postal notification of cancellation: info@trendfoodinternational.com / Trend Food International GmbH, Neuer Zollhof 3, 40221 Düsseldorf, Germany. In this case, we will immediately delete all of your data that we have stored. Please bear in mind that your opposition to the use of your data, and the use of your data within the framework of a campaign that is already underway, may conflict with each other for technical or organisational reasons. You retain control of all personal data which you provide to Trend Food International GmbH online.

We will, on request, inform you in writing as to whether and, if so, which of your personal data has been stored by Trend Food International GmbH in accordance with the applicable statutory regulations. Please send your request to: info@trendfoodinternational.com / Trend Food International GmbH, Neuer Zollhof 3, 40221 Düsseldorf, Germany.
