Privacy Policy
I. Introduction
For us, a trustworthy collaboration begins with the small things - including protecting your data from the very beginning. With this privacy policy, we inform you about the nature, scope, and purpose of the processing of personal data that occurs when you visit this website.
Our processing is aligned with the requirements of the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG), and the Telekommunikation-Digitale-Dienste-Datenschutz-Gesetz (TDDDG).
II. General Information
a. Controller
The controller within the meaning of the GDPR is:
Marx Distribution
Inhaber: Maximilian Marx
Horrenbergerstraße 42
69168 Wiesloch Germany
Phone: +49 170 9927010
Email: info@marx-distribution.com
b. Terminology
The terms used in this privacy policy correspond to those of the GDPR and BDSG. The most important are:
Personal data:
any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (Art. 4 No. 1 GDPR).
Processing:
any operation performed on personal data, such as collection, storage, use, disclosure, or erasure (Art. 4 No. 2 GDPR).
Third party:
any natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body other than the data subject, controller, or processor (Art. 4 No. 10 GDPR).
Consent:
any freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which they agree to the processing of their personal data (Art. 4 No. 11 GDPR).
c. Types of Data We Process
On this website, we process the following categories of data:
Contact data — information you provide so we can reach you (e.g., name, email address, phone number, company name)
Content data — the contents of messages you send us (e.g., the text of a contact form inquiry)
Usage data — technical information about your visit (e.g., pages viewed, access times)
Communication data — technical details about your connection (e.g., browser type, device information, IP address)
If we enter into a business relationship with you, we may additionally process contract data (e.g., contract terms and subject matter) and payment data (e.g., bank details and invoice records).
d. Affected Persons and Purpose of Processing
We process personal data from visitors to this website who contact us via the contact form, email, or phone. The data is processed to provide the website, respond to inquiries, and conduct business communications. Specific processing activities and their legal bases are described in the sections below.
e. Legal Bases for Processing
We process personal data on one or more of the following legal bases:
Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR — where you have given consent

We delete or block your personal data in accordance with Art. 17 and 18 GDPR, in particular when the purpose for which it was collected no longer applies and no statutory retention obligation exists. Under § 257 HGB and § 147 AO, we are legally required to retain commercial records (e.g., contracts, invoices, business correspondence) for periods of 6 to 10 years. During these retention periods, we block the data from further use except for the legally prescribed purpose.

IV. Processing Activities on This Website
a. Website Hosting
To provide this website, we work with our hosting provider:
Framer B.V. Keizersgracht 585 1017 DR Amsterdam Netherlands
Framer provides the technical infrastructure required to operate this website. We have entered into a data processing agreement under Art. 28 GDPR with Framer to ensure your data is handled in compliance with GDPR requirements.
Each time you visit our website, the following data is automatically collected and stored in server log files:
IP address
Date and time of the request
Pages accessed and files downloaded
Referring URL
Browser type, version, and operating system
Data volume transferred
This data is processed on the basis of our legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR in the secure and reliable operation of this website and in protecting against misuse. Server log data is stored for a period of 30 days and then automatically deleted, unless further retention is required for evidence purposes (e.g., after a security incident).
b. Contact Form and Email Contact
If you contact us through our contact form or by email, we process the data you provide (typically name, email address, company name, and the content of your message) to respond to your inquiry. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR for inquiries relating to a potential or existing business relationship, and Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR for other inquiries, based on our legitimate interest in responding to communications directed to us.
If a business relationship develops from your inquiry, we may continue to process your contact data within our customer relationship management system for the purpose of that relationship. Data is deleted when it is no longer needed and no statutory retention obligation applies.
c. Cookies
Our website uses cookies. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that allow us to recognize you on subsequent visits, remember your preferences, or measure how our website is used. We distinguish between:
Strictly necessary cookies — required for the basic functioning of the website (e.g., session management, security). These are processed on the basis of § 25(2) TDDDG and do not require your consent.
Optional cookies — used for analytics, performance measurement, or marketing purposes. These are only set with your active consent under § 25(1) TDDDG and Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, which you provide through our cookie consent banner the first time you visit our site.
You can withdraw your cookie consent at any time by clicking the "Cookie Settings" link in our footer. You can also disable cookies in your browser settings at any time, though this may affect the functionality of our website.
V. Third-Party Services
a. Google Analytics 4
We use Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by:
Google Ireland Limited
Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google")
Google Analytics helps us understand how visitors use our website so we can improve its content and structure. For this purpose, Google uses cookies and similar technologies to collect information about your use of our site, such as pages visited, time spent, links clicked, and technical details about your device and browser.
Data processed and transfers:
Google Analytics processes data including your anonymized IP address, device and browser information, pages viewed, events triggered on the site, approximate location derived from your IP, and referral source. Some of this data may be transferred to Google servers in the United States. Google provides appropriate safeguards for such transfers in accordance with the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, under which Google is certified.
IP anonymization:
We have configured Google Analytics 4 so that IP addresses are shortened within the EU before any further processing. Your full IP address is not stored or transmitted to Google servers in the US.
Legal basis:
Processing through Google Analytics takes place exclusively on the basis of your consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG. You provide this consent via our cookie consent banner, and no Analytics cookies are set or data transmitted to Google before you consent.
Data processing agreement:
We have entered into a data processing agreement with Google under Art. 28 GDPR.
Retention: Analytics data is retained for a period of 14 months from the last user interaction, after which it is automatically deleted by Google.
Withdrawal of consent: You can withdraw your consent at any time by clicking the "Cookie Settings" link in our footer. Withdrawal is effective for future processing and does not affect the lawfulness of processing that took place prior to withdrawal.
You can also install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, available at: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
Further information on data processing by Google can be found at: https://policies.google.com/privacy
VI. Social Media
We maintain a profile on LinkedIn so you can learn more about our company, follow updates, and connect with us professionally.
LinkedIn is operated by:
LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company
Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place Dublin 2, Ireland
We have placed only a standard hyperlink to our LinkedIn profile on our website, not an embedded plugin or widget. This means no personal data is transmitted to LinkedIn until you actively click the link and visit the LinkedIn platform. Once you visit LinkedIn, LinkedIn's own privacy policy applies and LinkedIn acts as the controller for any data processing that occurs there. You can find LinkedIn's privacy policy at: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy
