4. Recording of data on this website
Cookies
This website uses what the industry refers to as “cookies.” Cookies are small text files that do not cause any damage to your device. They are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or they are permanently archived on your device (permanent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted once you terminate your visit. Permanent cookies remain archived on your device until you actively delete them or they are automatically eradicated by your web browser.
Cookies have a variety of functions. Many cookies are technically essential since certain website functions would not work in the absence of the cookies (e.g. the display of videos). The purpose of other cookies may be the analysis of user patterns or the display of promotional messages.
Cookies, which are required for the performance of electronic communication transactions (required cookies) or for the provision of certain functions you want to use (functional cookies) or those that are necessary for the optimization of the website (e.g. cookies that provide measurable insights into the web audience), shall be stored on the basis of Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. f GDPR, unless a different legal basis is cited. MHG has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies to ensure the technically error free and optimized provision of the services. If your consent to the storage of the cookies has been requested, the respective cookies are stored exclusively on the basis of the consent obtained (Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. a GDPR); this consent may be revoked at any time.
You have the option to set up your browser in such a manner that you will be notified any time cookies are placed and to permit the acceptance of cookies only in specific cases. You may also exclude the acceptance of cookies in certain cases or in general or activate the delete function for the automatic eradication of cookies when the browser closes. If cookies are deactivated, the functions of this website may be limited.
In the event that third party cookies are used or if cookies are used for analytical purposes, you will be notified separately in conjunction with this Privacy Policy and, if applicable, asked for your consent.
Request by e-mail, telephone or fax
If you contact MHG by e-mail, telephone or fax, your request, including all resulting personal data (name, request) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. Your data will not be passed on without your consent.
These data are processed on the basis of legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries submitted (Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. a GDPR) if it has been obtained.
The data you send via contact requests remain with MHG until you request their deletion, revoke your consent to the storage or the purpose for the data storage lapses (e.g. after completion of your request). Mandatory statutory provisions - in particular statutory retention periods - remain unaffected.
Information provided as mandated by Article 13 GDPR
If this is your first interaction with MHG, Art. 12, 13 GDPR mandates that the following mandatory data protection related information is made available to you: If you are contacting MHG via e-mail, your personal data will be processed only if there is a legitimate interest in the processing of this data (Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. f GDPR), if you have consented to the processing of your data (Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. a GDPR), if the processing of the data is required for the development, establishment, content or modification of a legal relationship between you and MHG (Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. b GDPR) or if any other legal provision permits the processing of this data. Your personal data will remain in MHG's possession until you ask for deletion of the data or you revoke your consent to store the data or if the purpose the data stored is required for no longer exists (e.g. once your request has been conclusively processed). This shall be without prejudice to any compelling statutory provisions – in particular tax and commercial law based retention periods. You have the right to at any time receive free information concerning the origins, recipients and purpose of your data archived. You also have a right to object, to data portability and a right to log a complaint with the competent supervisory agency. Moreover, you can demand the correction, eradication and, under certain circumstances, the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

Doko Doko JP enables MHG to identify your location based on your IP address in order to display the website in your location-specific language. For this purpose, your IP address is registered and stored for one year. This storage for one year is necessary, because Geolocation Technology Inc is required to present logs of its activity to justify the usage fee charged to MHG.

6. Newsletter
Newsletter data
If you would like to subscribe to the newsletter offered on this website, your e-mail address will be needed as well as information to verify that you are the owner of the e-mail address provided and consent to the receipt of the newsletter. No further data shall be collected or shall be collected only on a voluntary basis. Such data shall be used only for the sending of the requested information and shall not be shared with any third parties.

You may revoke the consent you have given to the archiving of data, the e-mail address and the use of this information for the sending of the newsletter at any time, for instance by clicking on the “Unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. This shall be without prejudice to the lawfulness of any data processing transactions that have taken place to date.
The data deposited for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list upon your unsubscription. Data stored for other purposes remain unaffected.
After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your e-mail address may be stored by MHG or the newsletter service provider in a blacklist to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist is used only for this purpose and not merged with other data. This serves both your interest and MHG'S interest in complying with the legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). The storage in the blacklist is indefinite. You may object to the storage if your interests outweigh this legitimate interest.
