We are very pleased that you are interested in our brand. Data protection is a top priority for the management of MRH N-Trade GmbH. You can generally use the Mr. Hanf website without providing any personal data. However, if you wish to use specific services offered by our company via our website, the processing of personal data may be necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we will generally seek your consent.
The processing of personal data, such as your name, address, email address, or phone number, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and in compliance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to MRH N-Trade GmbH. With this privacy policy, we aim to inform the public about the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. Furthermore, we wish to inform data subjects about their rights.
As the data controller, MRH N-Trade GmbH has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most comprehensive protection possible of the personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions may generally have security vulnerabilities, meaning that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, you are free to provide us with personal data via alternative means, such as by telephone.
1. Definitions
The privacy policy of MRH N-Trade GmbH is based on the terminology used by European legislators and regulators when enacting the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy is intended to be easily readable and understandable for the general public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terminology used in advance.
In this privacy policy, we use the following terms, among others:
a) Personal data
Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter “data subject”). A natural person is considered identifiable if they can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person.
b) data subject
A data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller.
c) Processing
Processing means any operation or set of operations performed on personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, distribution, or any other form of disclosure, the alignment or combination, restriction, erasure, or destruction.
d) Restriction of processing
Restriction of processing refers to the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting its future processing.
e) Profiling
Profiling is any form of automated processing of personal data that consists of using such personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s work performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location, or movements.
f) Pseudonymization
Pseudonymization is the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that this additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures that ensure the personal data is not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
g) Data controller or controller
The controller is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body that, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. If the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union law or the law of the Member States, the controller or the specific criteria for its designation may be provided for by Union law or the law of the Member States.
h) Processors
A processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
i) Recipients
A recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body to whom personal data is disclosed, regardless of whether or not they are a third party. However, public authorities that may receive personal data in the course of a specific investigative mandate under Union law or the law of the Member States are not considered recipients.
j) Third Parties
A third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor, and the persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or the processor, are authorized to process the personal data.
k) Consent
Consent is any freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes, expressed in the form of a statement or other unambiguous affirmative action, by which the data subject indicates that they consent to the processing of their personal data.
2. Name and address of the data controller
The controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation, other data protection laws applicable in the Member States of the European Union, and other provisions of a data protection nature is:
MRH N-Trade GmbH

Austria
Tel.: +43 (0) 676 512 497 1
Email: info@mr-hanf.at
Website: mr-hanf.de
3. Cookies
The websites of the brand Mr. Hanf use cookies. Cookies are text files that are placed and stored on a computer system via an internet browser.
Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier for the cookie. It consists of a string of characters that allows websites and servers to be associated with the specific web browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the visited websites and servers to distinguish the data subject’s individual browser from other web browsers that contain different cookies. A specific web browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID.
By using cookies, MRH N-Trade GmbH can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the use of cookies.
Cookies allow us to optimize the information and offers on our website to better serve the user. Cookies enable us to recognize users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, a user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter their login credentials every time they visit the site, as this information is retrieved by the website and the cookie stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is the shopping cart cookie in an online store. The online store uses a cookie to remember the items a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart.
You can prevent cookies from being set by our website at any time by adjusting the settings of your web browser and thereby permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via a web browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common web browsers. If you disable cookies in your web browser, you may not be able to use all features of our website to their full extent.
4. Collection of General Data and Information
The website of the brand Mr. Hanf collects a range of general data and information each time a data subject or an automated system accesses the website. This general data and information is stored in the server’s log files. The following data may be recorded: (1) the types and versions of browsers used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which the accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrer), (4) the subpages accessed via the accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an Internet Protocol (IP) address, (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) other similar data and information that serve to prevent threats in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
When using this general data and information, MRH N-Trade GmbH does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is required to (1) correctly deliver the content of our online shop, (2) optimize the content of our online shop and its performance marketing, (3) ensure the continued functionality of our e-commerce platforms and IT infrastructure, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in the event of a cyberattack. This anonymously collected data and information is therefore evaluated by MRH N-Trade GmbH both statistically and with the aim of enhancing data protection and data security within our company, ultimately to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data from the server log files is stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.
5. Registration on our website
You have the option to register on the website of the data controller by providing personal data. The personal data transmitted to the data controller in this process is determined by the respective input form used for registration. The personal data you enter is collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the data controller and for its own purposes. The data controller may arrange for the transfer of this data to one or more processors, such as a parcel delivery service, which will also use the personal data exclusively for internal purposes attributable to the data controller.
Furthermore, when registering on the website of the data controller, the IP address assigned by the data subject’s Internet service provider (ISP), as well as the date and time of registration, are stored. This data is stored because it is the only way to prevent misuse of our services, and this data enables us to investigate criminal offenses if necessary. In this respect, the storage of this data is necessary to protect the data controller. This data is generally not disclosed to third parties, unless there is a legal obligation to do so or the disclosure serves the purposes of criminal prosecution.
The voluntary provision of your personal data enables the data controller to offer you content or services that, by their very nature, can only be made available to registered users. Registered users may modify the personal data provided during registration at any time or request its complete deletion from the data controller’s database.
The data controller will provide you with information at any time upon request regarding which personal data has been stored about you. Furthermore, the data controller will correct or delete personal data upon request or notification, provided that no legal retention obligations prevent this. All employees of the data controller are available to you as contact persons in this regard.
6. Subscription to our newsletter
On the brand’s website Mr. Hanf, you are given the opportunity to subscribe to our company’s newsletter. The personal data transmitted to the data controller when subscribing to the newsletter is determined by the input form used for this purpose.
MRH N-Trade GmbH regularly informs its customers and business partners via a newsletter about the company’s offers. You can generally only receive our company’s newsletter if (1) you have a valid email address and (2) you register for the newsletter. For legal reasons, a confirmation email is sent to the email address you initially provided for the newsletter via a double opt-in procedure. This confirmation email serves to verify whether the owner of the email address, as the data subject, has authorized the receipt of the newsletter.
When you subscribe to the newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned by your Internet Service Provider (ISP) to the computer system you were using at the time of registration, as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary to be able to trace any potential misuse of a data subject’s email address at a later date and therefore serves to provide legal protection for the data controller.
The personal data collected when you subscribe to the newsletter is used exclusively for sending our newsletter. Furthermore, newsletter subscribers may be informed via email if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a related registration, as might be the case with changes to the newsletter content or alterations to the technical conditions. Personal data collected in connection with the newsletter service will not be disclosed to third parties. You may cancel your subscription to our newsletter at any time. The consent you have given us to store personal data for the purpose of sending the newsletter may be revoked at any time. A link for revoking consent is included in every newsletter. Additionally, you can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on the data controller’s website or inform the data controller of your desire to unsubscribe through other means.
7. Newsletter Tracking
The newsletters from MRH N-Trade GmbH contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in emails sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and analysis. This allows for a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Using the embedded web beacon, MRH N-Trade GmbH can determine whether and when an email was opened by you and which links contained in the email were clicked by you.
Such personal data collected via the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters is stored and analyzed by the data controller to optimize newsletter distribution and to better tailor the content of future newsletters to the interests of the data subject. This personal data is not disclosed to third parties. Data subjects are entitled at any time to revoke the separate declaration of consent provided via the double opt-in procedure. Following revocation, this personal data will be deleted by the data controller. MRH N-Trade GmbH automatically interprets unsubscribing from the newsletter as a revocation.
8. Contact Information via the Website
In accordance with legal requirements, the website of the brand Mr. Hanf contains information that enables quick electronic contact with our company as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general electronic mail address (email address). If you contact the data controller via email or a contact form, the personal data you provide will be automatically stored. Such personal data, which you voluntarily provide to the data controller, is stored for the purposes of processing your request or contacting you. This personal data will not be disclosed to third parties.
9. Comment function on the blog on the website
MRH N-Trade GmbH offers users the opportunity to leave individual comments on specific blog posts on a blog located on the website of the data controller. A blog is a portal maintained on a website, typically accessible to the public, where one or more individuals—known as bloggers or web bloggers—can post articles or share their thoughts in so-called blog posts. These blog posts can generally be commented on by third parties.
If you leave a comment on the blog published on this website, in addition to the comments you submit, information regarding the time the comment was posted and the username (pseudonym) you selected will also be stored and published. Furthermore, the IP address assigned by the data subject’s Internet Service Provider (ISP) is also logged. This storage of the IP address is carried out for security reasons and in the event that you infringe the rights of third parties or post illegal content through a comment you have submitted. This personal data is stored in the controller’s legitimate interest, enabling the controller to exculpate themselves in the event of a legal violation. This personal data is not disclosed to third parties unless required by law or necessary for the controller’s legal defense.
10. Subscription to blog comments on the website
Comments posted on the blog of the brand Mr. Hanf can generally be subscribed to by third parties. In particular, a commenter has the option to subscribe to comments posted in response to their own comment on a specific blog post.
If you choose to subscribe to comments, the data controller will send an automatic confirmation email to verify, via a double opt-in process, that the owner of the provided email address has indeed opted for this feature. You may unsubscribe from comments at any time.
11. Routine Deletion and Blocking of Personal Data
The data controller processes and stores the data subject’s personal data only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or to the extent provided for by the European legislator or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the data controller is subject.
If the purpose of storage no longer applies or if a retention period prescribed by European directives and regulations or another competent legislator expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with legal requirements.
12. Rights of the data subject
a) Right to Confirmation
Every data subject has the right, granted by European legislation, to request confirmation from the data controller as to whether personal data concerning them is being processed. If you wish to exercise this right to confirmation, you may contact a representative of the data controller at any time.

Furthermore, the data subject has the right to obtain information regarding whether personal data has been transferred to a third country or to an international organization. If this is the case, the data subject is also entitled to receive information about the appropriate safeguards in connection with the transfer.
If you wish to exercise this right to access, you may contact an employee of the data controller at any time.
c) Right to rectification
Any individual affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by European legislation, to request the immediate rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning them.

If you wish to exercise this right to rectification, you may contact an employee of the data controller at any time.
d) Right to erasure (right to be forgotten)
Any individual affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by European legislation, to request that the controller immediately delete the personal data concerning them, provided that one of the following grounds applies and provided that the processing is not necessary:
The personal data was collected for purposes for which it is no longer necessary or processed in any other manner.
You revoke your consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
You object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) of the GDPR, and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or you object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(2) of the GDPR.
The personal data was processed unlawfully.
The erasure of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member States to which the controller is subject.
Personal data was collected in connection with information society services offered in accordance with Art. 8(1) of the GDPR.
If any of the above reasons apply and you wish to request the deletion of personal data stored by MRH N-Trade GmbH, you may contact an employee of the data controller at any time. The employee of MRH N-Trade GmbH will ensure that the request for deletion is complied with immediately.
If personal data has been made public by MRH N-Trade GmbH and our company, as the controller pursuant to Art. 17(1) of the GDPR, is obligated to erase the personal data, MRH N-Trade GmbH shall take appropriate measures, taking into account available technology and implementation costs, including technical measures, to inform other data controllers processing the published personal data that you have requested these other data controllers to delete all links to this personal data or copies or replicas of this personal data, provided that the processing is not necessary. The employee of MRH N-Trade GmbH will take the necessary steps on a case-by-case basis.
e) Right to restriction of processing
Any individual affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by European legislation, to request that the controller restrict processing if one of the following conditions is met:
You dispute the accuracy of the personal data for a period that allows the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
The processing is unlawful; you object to the erasure of the personal data and instead request the restriction of the use of the personal data.
The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but you need it to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims.
You have objected to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) of the GDPR, and it has not yet been determined whether the legitimate grounds of the controller outweigh your interests.
If any of the above conditions apply and you wish to request the restriction of personal data stored by MRH N-Trade GmbH, you may contact an employee of the data controller at any time. The employee of MRH N-Trade GmbH will arrange for the restriction of processing.
f) Right to data portability
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by European legislation, to receive the personal data concerning them—which was provided by the data subject to a controller—in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data was provided, provided that the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) of the GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, and the processing is carried out by automated means, provided that the processing is not necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
Furthermore, when exercising your right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20(1) of the GDPR, you have the right to have your personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, provided this is technically feasible and does not infringe upon the rights and freedoms of others.
To exercise your right to data portability, you may contact an employee of MRH N-Trade GmbH at any time.
g) Right to object
Any individual affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by European legislation, to object at any time, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning them that is carried out pursuant to Article 6(1)(e) or (f) of the GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
In the event of an objection, MRH N-Trade GmbH will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
If MRH N-Trade GmbH processes personal data for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for such marketing purposes. This also applies to profiling, insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If you object to MRH N-Trade GmbH processing your data for direct marketing purposes, MRH N-Trade GmbH will no longer process your personal data for these purposes.
In addition, you have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you that is carried out by MRH N-Trade GmbH for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89(1) of the GDPR, unless such processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest.
To exercise your right to object, you may contact any employee at MRH N-Trade GmbH or another employee directly. You are also free to exercise your right to object in connection with the use of information society services, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, by means of automated procedures that utilize technical specifications.
h) Automated decisions in individual cases, including profiling
Any data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing — including profiling — that produces legal effects concerning them or similarly significantly affects them, provided that the decision (1) is not necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the controller, or (2) is authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject, and that law provides for appropriate measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms as well as the legitimate interests of the data subject, or (3) is based on the explicit consent of the data subject.
If the decision (1) is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the controller, or (2) is it made with the explicit consent of the data subject, MRH N-Trade GmbH takes appropriate measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms as well as the legitimate interests of the data subject, which includes at least the right to request human intervention by the controller, to present one’s own point of view, and to challenge the decision.
If you wish to exercise your rights regarding automated decisions, you may contact an employee of the data controller at any time.
i) Right to withdraw consent under data protection law
Any individual affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by European legislation, to withdraw consent to the processing of personal data at any time.
If you wish to exercise your right to withdraw consent, you may contact an employee of the data controller at any time.
13. Data Protection in Job Applications and the Application Process
The data controller collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of handling the application process. Processing may also take place electronically. This is particularly the case when an applicant submits the relevant application documents to the data controller electronically, for example via email or through a web form on the website. If the data controller enters into an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of managing the employment relationship in compliance with legal regulations. If the controller does not enter into an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests of the controller preclude such deletion. Other legitimate interests in this context include, for example, a burden of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).
14. Legal basis for processing
Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis for our company’s processing operations in which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party—as is the case, for example, with processing operations required for the delivery of goods or the provision of other services or consideration—then the processing is based on Art. 6(1)(b) of the GDPR. The same applies to processing operations necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, such as in cases of inquiries regarding our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data, such as to fulfill tax obligations, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured on our premises and their name, age, health insurance information, or other vital information subsequently had to be disclosed to a doctor, a hospital, or other third parties. In such cases, the processing would be based on Article 6(1)(d) of the GDPR. Finally, processing operations may be based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. This legal basis applies to processing operations not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases if the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that your interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms do not take precedence. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this regard, the legislator took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47, Sentence 2 of the GDPR).
15. Legitimate interests in processing pursued by the controller or a third party
If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, our legitimate interest is the conduct of our business activities for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders.
16. Duration for which personal data is stored
The criterion for the duration of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. Upon expiration of this period, the relevant data is routinely deleted, provided it is no longer required for the fulfillment of a contract or for contract initiation.
17. Legal or contractual requirements for the provision of personal data; necessity for the conclusion of the contract; obligation of the data subject to provide personal data; possible consequences of non-provision
We would like to inform you that the provision of personal data is in some cases required by law (e.g., tax regulations) or may also result from contractual provisions (e.g., information about the contractual partner). In some cases, it may be necessary for the conclusion of a contract that you provide us with personal data, which we must subsequently process. For example, you are obligated to provide us with personal data if our company enters into a contract with you. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with you could not be concluded. Before providing personal data, you must contact one of our employees. Our employee will inform you on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of personal data is required by law or contract, or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract; whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data; and what consequences failure to provide the personal data would have.
18. Use of automated decision-making
As a responsible company, we do not engage in automated decision-making or profiling.
