Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 2026

This page is a courtesy translation. The German-language Datenschutzerklärung is the legally binding version.

1. Controller

The controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is:
dsx distribution GmbH
Waldenburger Weg 22, 57076 Siegen, Germany
Email: info@dsx-distribution.eu
Phone: +49 271 80937909

2. General information on data processing

We generally only process personal data of our users to the extent necessary to provide a functioning website and our content and services. Personal data is only processed with the user's consent or where permitted by law.

3. Provision of the website and creation of server log files

When you access our website, our hosting provider automatically collects data and information from the accessing computer system in so-called server log files. This may include: IP address, date and time of the request, page/file accessed, referrer URL, browser type and operating system used.

The legal basis for the temporary storage of this data is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the technically error-free presentation and security of our website. The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected; in the case of server log files, this is generally the case after 30 days at the latest.

4. Cookies and tracking

This website currently does not use any cookies for analytics, marketing or tracking purposes and does not integrate any analytics tools (e.g. Google Analytics, Matomo). Should this change in the future, we will update this privacy policy accordingly and obtain prior consent where required.

5. Fonts used

For a consistent display of fonts, we use the typeface "Open Sans." This font is hosted locally on our own server (self-hosting) – there is no connection to Google Fonts servers or any other third-party servers. No personal data is transmitted to third parties in this context.

6. Contacting us

If you contact us by email or phone, your details (e.g. name, contact information, request) will be stored by us for the purpose of processing your inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. The legal basis for this is Art. 6(1)(b) or (f) GDPR (processing of pre-contractual or business inquiries). We do not pass on this data without your consent. Business email correspondence may be retained for the periods stipulated by German commercial and tax retention obligations (§ 257 HGB, § 147 AO).

7. Links to third-party websites

Our website contains links to our manufacturer partners' websites and direct links to their product datasheets (PDF). Clicking these links takes you away from our website; the privacy policy of the respective external provider then applies, over whose content and design we have no influence.

8. Data security

For security reasons, this website uses SSL/TLS encryption to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as inquiries you send to us as the site operator.

9. Your rights as a data subject

You have the following rights with respect to your personal data:

  • Right of access (Art. 15 GDPR)
  • Right to rectification or erasure (Art. 16, 17 GDPR)
  • Right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR)
  • Right to object to processing (Art. 21 GDPR)
  • Right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR)
  • Right to withdraw consent given, with effect for the future (Art. 7(3) GDPR)
  • Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR)

The supervisory authority responsible for us is:
Landesbeauftragte für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit Nordrhein-Westfalen (LDI NRW)
Postfach 20 04 44, 40102 Düsseldorf, Germany
Phone: +49 211 38424-0

10. Currency and amendment of this privacy policy

This privacy policy is currently valid. As we further develop our website or due to changes in legal or regulatory requirements, it may become necessary to amend this privacy policy.
