The CMA has as a goal to provide you with a wide range of online services while protecting your right to informational self-determination and ensuring the protection of your privacy. We take it for granted to comply with the legal requirements concerning data protection, and this is reflected in our data protection principles.
Our Data Protection Principles
The security of data on the internet is taken seriously by the CMA. Therefore we protect your information with modern security systems, observe the legal requirements for data protection, and use your data only for purposes for which you have given us your consent. To strengthen your confidence in the CMA, we inform you here in detail about the personal information that is collected, and how this information is used.
Anonymous use of the Internet services
In general you can browse our Internet site without giving any personal details, i.e. an anonymous use is possible. The CMA only collects personal data if you register to the Info Agent, if you order or use certain CMA offers or services, or if you participate for example in promotional events or sweepstake programmes.
Registration, Collection of Personal Data
If you wish to make use of service offers (e.g. the subscription to a newsletter or the ordering of goods or services) on this website, we require from you personal data such as your name and address in order to be able to provide the service and to ensure proper business operations. You will be explicitly advised about this collection of data within the framework of your registration. This obligatory data, the extent of which you can find in the registration form, is exclusively required and processed for the organisation of the contractual relationship. It is not necessary for registration to provide data in fields marked as optional. Should you have provided optional data, this data will only be analysed in anonymised form for statistical purposes.
User profiles
The CMA does not generate personalised user profiles. When you visit our Internet site, your browsing behaviour is recorded in anonymised form only, so that no conclusions can be drawn about your identity. The data obtained from these recordings is used by the CMA to improve the user guidance on our website as well as its layout.
Cookies
The CMA too uses the so-called "cookies". Cookies are small files that are placed on your hard disk and not on our server. The information contained in cookies helps for example to avoid that every time you browse our website, you have to enter your complete registration data again.
Of course, you can also browse the CMA website without accepting cookies. For this purpose, please disable the setting of cookies in your browser software. Please consult the instructions for use of your browser to look up how this is done in detail. However, if you do not accept cookies, this can lead to restrictions if you want to make use of certain service offers.
Deletion, Right to Information
If you wish to have your personal data including your access authorisation deleted completely, please fill in the deletion form and send it to us. You can download the form here, save it on your computer and print it out.
As a registered user, you will of course be informed, at any time and free of charge, of the personal data we have recorded. On request you will receive a compilation of all personal data recorded by the CMA under your user name. You can download the form here, save it on your computer and print it out.
Please fill in a printed copy of the form for deletion and/or information and send it to the following address:
CMA Centrale Marketing-Gesellschaft der deutschen Agrarwirtschaft mbH
Referat Internet
Koblenzer Str. 148
53177 Bonn
Germany.
You will then be informed in writing about the personal data we have recorded or about the deletion of your data.
Updating
We will continuously improve our data protection principles and adapt them to the overall development of data protection and security features. You can follow all changes if you print out the current version of the principles and compare it to new versions.
