Privacy Policy (GDPR)

1. Controller

Black Forest Handels GmbH, Managing Director Yalcin Güntekin, Hauptstr. 3, 72202 Nagold, Germany. Phone: +49 157 57184363, Email: info@black-forest-handels.de.

2. Hosting & Server Logs

This website is hosted on European server infrastructure (Hostinger International Ltd., EU data center), while domain and business email infrastructure are operated via IONOS SE, Montabaur, Germany under GDPR Art. 28 data processing agreements. Standard technical access logs are processed solely for IT security and availability (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

3. Local Fonts, Zero Tracking Cookies & § 25 TDDDG Notice

All fonts are served locally from our own web server. No requests are sent to Google Fonts servers, and no optional analytics, tracking, or marketing cookies are loaded, so no consent under § 25(1) TDDDG (formerly TTDSG) is required. When clicking “Got it” in our privacy banner, only the purely technical status flag bfh_privacy_ack_v1 is stored in your browser’s localStorage so the notice remains dismissed on subsequent visits (§ 25(2) No. 2 TDDDG in conjunction with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR), without transmitting any data to our servers or third parties.

4. Inquiry Form & Email

Inquiry form details are processed exclusively to assess and answer your sourcing request (Art. 6(1)(b) and (f) GDPR) via our encrypted European inquiry backend and company mailbox. Your contact details are never disclosed to third-party suppliers without your mandate.

5. Your GDPR Rights

You hold full rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, data portability, objection, and complaint to the Baden-Württemberg data protection authority (LfDI, Stuttgart).
