If we request personal data (such as name, address or email address) on the website e. g. in contact forms or during registration, this is done on a voluntary basis. We use this information for our own business purposes (such as sending the requested materials/information).
For questions of any kind, we offer you the opportunity to contact us via a form provided on the website. In this case, the data marked as mandatory is required in order to be able to assign and answer the request. Further information may be provided voluntarily. In that case, your personal data is processed based on your consent according to art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.
The personal data collected by us for the use of the contact form will be deleted after completion of the request made by you and after expiry of the tax and commercial retention periods.
Once you have given your consent – for example, for the purpose of a newsletter or other interesting information being sent from our company – you may revoke it at any time with effect for the future without stating any reasons. To do so, you can use the contact form mentioned above or any other means mentioned in the newsletter.
Your personal data is processed for the following purposes:
As a contractual partner of your company, tesa SE processes personal data of your employees, with whom tesa SE is in contact due to the business relationship, based on the legitimate interests of the tesa SE with regards to an optimal customer service, preparation of offers and performance of the contracts on the basis of Art. 6 para 1 lit. f GDPR.
tesa SE processes personal data of natural persons (e.g. a sole trader or other individuals such as self-employed persons) to carry out pre-contractual measures and fulfil contracts. Legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.
tesa SE processes the personal data of interested parties that contact us to respond to their requests and to cultivate contact with potential customers and partners based on their consent according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

Furthermore, data may also be processed for legitimate purposes in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sent. 1 lit. f GDPR, such as internal market research purposes and in-house statistics. The legitimate interests are in particular the optimisation of processes and cost-based attribution. Your interests, fundamental rights and freedoms are properly taken into account.
If you consent to the use of personal data for advertising and market research purposes, we will use your data also for the purposes for which the consent was granted (e. g. for newsletters) until you withdraw your consent. This means that we will contact you in the manner indicated in the declaration of consent (e.g. e-mail, telephone, post) and provide you with information and individualized advertising about our products and services based on the analysis of your purchase & clicking behaviour on our websites. Finally, we use your data to analyse and improve the effectiveness of our websites.
