Data protection is a central concern at the Reinhold Würth Musikstiftung. It safeguards the individuals behind the data stored or processed by the company. The primary task and goal of data protection at the Reinhold Würth Musikstiftung is to handle personal data in a way that does not infringe on anyone’s personal rights.
The European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the new German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) impose a range of obligations on entities responsible for processing personal data.
Personal data may only be collected and processed if explicitly permitted by the GDPR. Key principles of the GDPR include:
–Lawfulness of processing, fair and transparent processing
–Purpose limitation
–Data minimization
–Accuracy of data processing
–Storage limitation and deletion concepts
–Integrity and confidentiality
Responsible handling of personal data, as well as the risk-aware use of IT systems and applications, are further central objectives of the Reinhold Würth Musikstiftung gGmbH.
When you use this website, various personal data may be collected. Personal data refers to information that can be used to personally identify you. This Privacy Policy explains which data we collect and how we use it. It also clarifies the purpose and manner of data processing.
Please note that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., via email communication) may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of your data against access by third parties cannot be guaranteed.
The collection, processing, or use of personal data is carried out to fulfill the company’s primary business purpose or supporting secondary purposes, such as customer consultation. The company collects, processes, and uses personal data exclusively for the preparation and fulfillment of contracts, on the basis of legitimate interests, to comply with legal obligations, or with the consent of the individual concerned.
The affected groups of individuals are:
The respective data include all personal data necessary for fulfilling the respective purpose.
The Reinhold Würth Musikstiftung gGmbH does not design its websites or mobile applications for children as a target audience.
The processing of personal data is only lawful if permitted by law, that is, if a legal basis exists.
However, the GDPR and the BDSG also define additional possible bases for processing.
The processing of personal data in our company is carried out solely in accordance with the applicable legal provisions. These include, among others: when consent has been given for the processing of personal data (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR), when the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract or for taking steps prior to entering into a contract (Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR), when we are under a legal obligation to process personal data (Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR), or when we process personal data based on a legitimate interest or the legitimate interest of a third party (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR). When balancing the interests of the data subjects and the contractual parties, a strict standard is always applied in favor of the data subject.
The potential recipients of transmitted personal data are public authorities, where a legal obligation exists, as well as service providers and other business partners, insofar as this is necessary to fulfill the respective purpose and a legal provision permits or requires it, or the data subject has given consent.
More detailed information on the disclosure of specific types of data can also be found in our overview table on the use of your data.
If data transfers to third countries become necessary, such transfers will take place exclusively for the purpose of concluding or performing contracts — provided that the legitimate interests of the data subject do not conflict with this — and in compliance with all data protection requirements. If there is an intention to transfer personal data to a third country or an international organization, such data transfer will be based on an adequacy decision. Should a data transfer nevertheless take place, we point out that appropriate safeguards or binding corporate data protection rules are in place. When balancing the interests of the data subjects and the contracting parties, a strict standard is always applied in favor of the data subject.
Documents demonstrating the appropriate safeguards can be requested from the Data Protection Officer at datenschutz@wuerth.com.
The deletion of personal data is carried out in accordance with the applicable legal or contractual provisions on data deletion, taking into account any statutory or contractual retention obligations. Personal data that are not subject to any statutory or contractual retention or deletion obligations are deleted immediately once they are no longer required for the fulfillment of the respective purpose.
The data subject has various rights with regard to data protection. These rights are explained below. The contact details provided above may be used to exercise these rights.
Right to access, rectification, and deletion
Each data subject has the right to obtain from the controller access to the personal data concerning them, as well as the right to rectification or erasure, or to restriction of processing, or the right to object to the processing, and the right to data portability.
Right to withdraw consent
Each data subject has the right to withdraw their consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
Right to lodge a complaint
Each data subject has the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority if they believe that their rights with regard to data protection have been violated.
Right to be informed
Each data subject has the right to be informed whether the provision of personal data is required by law or contract, or necessary for the conclusion of a contract, whether the data subject is obliged to provide the personal data, and what possible consequences may result from not providing the data.
Automated decision-making, including profiling
Automated decision-making, including profiling, takes place. Profiling is any type of automated processing of personal data that consists of using such personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person by means of algorithms. An automated individual decision occurs when the decision is made solely on the basis of algorithms without being additionally reviewed by a human. Within the company, this is carried out in accordance with Art. 22 GDPR, and the data subject may, if applicable, exercise their rights under Art. 22 (1) GDPR.
Withdrawal of your consent to data processing
Many data processing activities are only possible with your explicit consent. You may withdraw consent at any time. A simple notification by e-mail to us is sufficient. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out up to the time of withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.
Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority
In the event of data protection violations, the data subject has the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. The competent supervisory authority for data protection matters is the State Data Protection Officer of the federal state in which our company is based.

Right to data portability
You have the right to receive data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or for the performance of a contract, either from us or from a third party, in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be carried out to the extent technically feasible.
