Thank you for visiting our web pages and for your interest in our company, our products and our web pages. Protecting your privacy when using our web pages is important to us. We therefore act in compliance with applicable legislation on the protection of personal data and data security.
Below you will learn which web pages this data protection notice applies to, which data we collect, process and use, which rights of access to information you have, and much more. In order to answer your questions quickly and in an easy-to-understand way, we laid out our data protection notice in a questions-and-answers format.
The company/person stated in the Imprint is responsible for collecting and processing the data as described below.
This data protection notice applies to the use of web pages (hereinafter “Meat 2000 web pages”) offered by Meat 2000 aktiengesellschaft and/or its subsidiaries (hereinafter “Meat 2000”). This data protection notice does not apply to web pages by other providers which are simply linked to from the Meat 2000 web pages.
Personal data is individual information about the personal or factual circumstances of an identified or identifiable natural person. For instance, personal data includes your name, address, account details, your ID or telephone number, your car’s number plate, your email address and IP number. Data which cannot be used to establish your true identity is non-personal data. This includes information on your sex, which browser you use and which brand of car you prefer.
Yes. You will remain anonymous when using Meat 2000 web pages, as long as you do not voluntarily provide us with your personal data. The only exception to this principle is the temporary automatic establishment and storage of your IP number. You can learn more about that below.
Yes. During each of your visits on our web pages we automatically collect information on which IP number is assigned to your computer, which browser and operating system you use and which web pages you viewed. These data are stored in so-called log files on the Web server. Only the IP number is classed as personal data. To protect against misuse of our computer systems, it is necessary to store the IP address of each visitor for a period of seven days. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) f GDPR. If we further use the log files to create user profiles, either for the purposes of advertising, market research or to design our website to meet the needs of users, the IP numbers will be anonymised in advance. Otherwise, the IP numbers will be deleted from the log files. As a result, you will in any event remain anonymous even if we automatically collect and temporarily store your IP number.
We only collect, process or use personal data, if you have provided us with these on a voluntary basis and furthermore, if it is permitted by law or you have given us your consent to do so. This is usually the case if you enter into an agreement with us online, or if you send us an enquiry.
We only use the personal data you have provided us with for purposes previously announced or agreed, usually according to Art. 6 (1) b GDPR for the preparation or performance of the agreement concluded, or according to Art. 6 (1) f GDPR to reply to your enquiry.
This is not the case without your consent. In some cases we may be interested in using your personal data for advertising, market research or other purposes in order to manage and improve customer relations. In such cases, we will, of course, inform you in advance and ask for your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) a GDPR.
Yes. You have the option at all times to withdraw your consent for the agreed use of your personal data for the future. To do so, please get in touch with the contact mentioned below.
As a rule, Meat 2000web pages use so-called session cookies, which place data for technical session control in the memory of your browser. These data are not personal and are deleted at the latest when your browser is closed. If exceptionally we wish to store personal data in a cookie, we will seek your express consent in advance in accordance with Art. 6 (1) a GDPR.
Processing is based on Art. 6 (1) f GDPR and on our legitimate interest in enabling or optimising the ease of navigation for users and adapting the website layout accordingly.
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (following: Google). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, ie text files that are stored on your computer and that allow an analysis of the use of the website by you. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, due to the activation of IP anonymization on these websites, your IP address will be shortened by Google beforehand within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the US and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address provided by Google Analytics as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google information.
The purposes of the data processing are the evaluation of the use of the website and the compilation of reports on activities on the website. Based on the use of the website and the Internet, other related services will be provided. The processing is based on the legitimate interest of the website operator.
You can prevent the storage of cookies by a corresponding setting of your browser software; however, we point out that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of this website in full. You may also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) to Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading the browser plug-in available under the following link and install: Browser Add On to disable Google Analytics.
In addition or as an alternative to the browser add-on, you can prevent Google Analytics tracking on our pages by selecting this link. An opt-out cookie will be installed on your device. This will prevent the collection by Google Analytics for this website and for this browser in the future, as long as the cookie remains installed in your browser.
Even though cookies are only relevant for data protection purposes if they store personal data, many web users are fundamentally sceptical about these small data packages. Hence we would like to inform you that you can protect yourself from cookies being placed on your computer and that you can view their content. Modern browsers offer various functions to do so. You can find out more in the help section of your browser. You can, for instance, set your web browser to automatically block all cookies or to warn you before a cookie is being stored. Please note, however, that this may lead to reduced functionality in the use of the Meat 2000 web pages and web pages from other service providers.
We operate an official Facebook page on the basis of Art. 6 (1) f GDPR. We do not collect, store or process any personal user data at any time on this page. Moreover, we do not carry out or initiate any further data processing. The data you enter on our Facebook pages, such as comments, videos or pictures, will not be used or processed for other purposes at any time.
Facebook uses so-called webtracking features on these pages. Please be aware that it cannot be ruled out that Facebook uses your profile data to analyse your habits, personal relationships, preferences, and so on. We have no influence on the processing of your data by Facebook.
Meat 2000 shall take all technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data from loss and misuse. Your data are stored in a secure operating environment which cannot be accessed by the public. If you wish to contact Meat 2000 by email, please note that the confidentiality of the information sent cannot be guaranteed. Email content may be read by third parties, similar to postcards.

The GDPR grants you, as the user of these web pages, certain rights as regards the processing of your personal data:
1. Right of access by the data subject (Art. 15 GDPR):
You have the right to obtain confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning you are being processed, and, where that is the case, access to the personal data and the information detailed in Art. 15 GDPR.

You have the right to obtain without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning you and, as the case may be, to have incomplete personal data completed.
You have the right to obtain the erasure of personal data concerning you without undue delay, if one of the points listed in Art. 17 GDPR applies, e.g. if the personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected.
3. Right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR):
You have the right to obtain restriction of processing where one of the conditions listed in Art. 18 GDPR applies, e.g. if you have objected to processing, pending possible verification.

We shall then no longer process the personal data unless compelling legitimate grounds for the processing have been demonstrated which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject or if the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
6. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority:
According to Art. 77 GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes the data protection regulation.
