 ■ For customers and interested parties

Thank you for visiting our website and for your interest in our company and our products.

The company GEDA stands for safe and secure hoist solutions worldwide. However, the safe and legally-compliant handling of personal data that you entrust to us is also an important concern for us.

As a rule it is possible to use our website without providing any personal information. Any personal data collected on our pages (e.g. name, postal address or email addresses) are always provided by users on a voluntary basis as far as possible. These data are not passed on to third parties without your explicit consent.

We would like to point out that transmitting data over the internet (e.g. when communicating by email) may be subject to security gaps. Full protection of data against access by third parties can therefore not be guaranteed.

With this Privacy Policy we would like to explain what information we collect during your visit to our website, how this is used and clarify the rights to which you are entitled.

This website service is provided by an external service provider. Usage data is processed there on our behalf and according to our specifications.
