Privacy Policy
We are very delighted that you have shown interest in our enterprise.
Data protection is of a particularly high priority for the management of
the BMB Base Metals Brokerage GmbH . The use of the Internet pages of the
BMB Base Metals Brokerage GmbH is possible without any indication of
personal data; however, if a data subject wants to use special enterprise
services via our website, processing of personal data could become
necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no
statutory basis for such processing, we generally obtain consent from the
data subject.
The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail
address, or telephone number of a data subject shall always be in line
with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in accordance with
the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to the BMB
Base Metals Brokerage GmbH. By means of this data protection declaration,
our enterprise would like to inform the general public of the nature,
scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process.
Furthermore, data subjects are informed, by means of this data protection
declaration, of the rights to which they are entitled.
As the controller, the BMB Base Metals Brokerage GmbH has implemented
numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete
protection of personal data processed through this website. However,
Internet-based data transmissions may in principle have security gaps, so
absolute protection may not be guaranteed. For this reason, every data
subject is free to transfer personal data to us via alternative means,
e.g. by telephone.
1. Definitions
The data protection declaration of the BMB Base Metals Brokerage GmbH
is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of
the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our data protection
declaration should be legible and understandable for the general public,

like to first explain the terminology used.
In this data protection declaration, we use, inter alia, the following
terms:
- a) Personal data
Personal data means any information relating to an identified or
identifiable natural person (“data subject”). An identifiable natural
person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular
by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number,
location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to
the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social
identity of that natural person.
- b) Data subject
Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person, whose
personal data is processed by the controller responsible for the
processing.
- c) Processing
Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed on
personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated

adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by
transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or
combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.
- d) Restriction of processing
Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with
the aim of limiting their processing in the future.
- e) Profiling
Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data
consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal
aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict
aspects concerning that natural person’s performance at work, economic
situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability,
behaviour, location or movements.
- f) Pseudonymisation
Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a manner
that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data
subject without the use of additional information, provided that such
additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and
organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not
attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
- g) Controller or controller responsible for the processing
Controller or controller responsible for the processing is the natural
or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or
jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing
of personal data; where the purposes and means of such processing are
determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific
criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State
law.
- h) Processors
Processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or
other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
- i) Recipient
Recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or
another body, to which the personal data are disclosed, whether a third
party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data
in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or
Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients; the processing of
those data by those public authorities shall be in compliance with the
applicable data protection rules according to the purposes of the
processing.
- j) Third party
Third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or
body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who,
under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorised
to process personal data.
- k) Consent

unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which he or she, by
a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the
processing of personal data relating to him or her.
2. Name and Address of the controller
Controller for the purposes of the General Data Protection Regulation
(GDPR), other data protection laws applicable in Member states of the
European Union and other provisions related to data protection is:
BMB Base Metals Brokerage GmbH
Neuer Wall 36
20354 Hamburg
Germany
Phone: +494038686-0
Email: datenschutz@bmbrokerage.de
Website: www.metalbrokers.de
3. Collection of general data and information
The website of the BMB Base Metals Brokerage GmbH collects a series of
general data and information when a data subject or automated system calls
up the website. This general data and information are stored in the server
log files. Collected may be (1) the browser types and versions used, (2)
the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from
which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4)
the sub-websites, (5) the date and time of access to the Internet site,
(6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service
provider of the accessing system, and (8) any other similar data and
information that may be used in the event of attacks on our information
technology systems.
When using these general data and information, the BMB Base Metals
Brokerage GmbH does not draw any conclusions about the data subject.
Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our
website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website as well as its
advertisement, (3) ensure the long-term viability of our information
technology systems and website technology, and (4) provide law enforcement
authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in
case of a cyber-attack. Therefore, the BMB Base Metals Brokerage GmbH
analyzes anonymously collected data and information statistically, with
the aim of increasing the data protection and data security of our
enterprise, and to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal
data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored
separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.
4. Registration on our website
The data subject has the possibility to register on the website of the
controller with the indication of personal data. Which personal data are
transmitted to the controller is determined by the respective input mask
used for the registration. The personal data entered by the data subject
are collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the controller,
and for his own purposes. The controller may request transfer to one or
more processors (e.g. a parcel service) that also uses personal data for
an internal purpose which is attributable to the controller.
By registering on the website of the controller, the IP address—
assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) and used by the data
subject—date, and time of the registration are also stored. The storage of
this data takes place against the background that this is the only way to
prevent the misuse of our services, and, if necessary, to make it possible
to investigate committed offenses. Insofar, the storage of this data is
necessary to secure the controller. This data is not passed on to third
parties unless there is a statutory obligation to pass on the data, or if
the transfer serves the aim of criminal prosecution.
The registration of the data subject, with the voluntary indication of
personal data, is intended to enable the controller to offer the data
subject contents or services that may only be offered to registered users
due to the nature of the matter in question. Registered persons are free
to change the personal data specified during the registration at any time,
or to have them completely deleted from the data stock of the
controller.
The data controller shall, at any time, provide information upon
request to each data subject as to what personal data are stored about the
data subject. In addition, the data controller shall correct or erase
personal data at the request or indication of the data subject, insofar as
there are no statutory storage obligations. The entirety of the
controller’s employees are available to the data subject in this respect
as contact persons.
5. Subscription to our newsletters
On the website of the BMB Base Metals Brokerage GmbH, users are given
the opportunity to subscribe to our enterprise’s newsletter. The input
mask used for this purpose determines what personal data are transmitted,
as well as when the newsletter is ordered from the controller.
The BMB Base Metals Brokerage GmbH informs its customers and business
partners regularly by means of a newsletter about enterprise offers. The
enterprise’s newsletter may only be received by the data subject if (1)
the data subject has a valid e-mail address and (2) the data subject
registers for the newsletter shipping. A confirmation e-mail will be sent
to the e-mail address registered by a data subject for the first time for
newsletter shipping, for legal reasons, in the double opt-in procedure.
This confirmation e-mail is used to prove whether the owner of the e-mail
address as the data subject is authorized to receive the newsletter.
During the registration for the newsletter, we also store the IP
address of the computer system assigned by the Internet service provider
(ISP) and used by the data subject at the time of the registration, as
well as the date and time of the registration. The collection of this data
is necessary in order to understand the (possible) misuse of the e-mail
address of a data subject at a later date, and it therefore serves the aim
of the legal protection of the controller.
The personal data collected as part of a registration for the
newsletter will only be used to send our newsletter. In addition,
subscribers to the newsletter may be informed by e-mail, as long as this
is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a registration
in question, as this could be the case in the event of modifications to
the newsletter offer, or in the event of a change in technical
circumstances. There will be no transfer of personal data collected by the
newsletter service to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter
may be terminated by the data subject at any time. The consent to the
storage of personal data, which the data subject has given for shipping
the newsletter, may be revoked at any time. For the purpose of revocation
of consent, a corresponding link is found in each newsletter. It is also
possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on the
website of the controller, or to communicate this to the controller in a
different way.
6. Newsletter-Tracking
The newsletter of the BMB Base Metals Brokerage GmbH contains so-called
tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in such
e-mails, which are sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and
analysis. This allows a statistical analysis of the success or failure of
online marketing campaigns. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, the MBH
Metalbrokers Hamburg GmbH may see if and when an e-mail was opened by a
data subject, and which links in the e-mail were called up by data
subjects.
Such personal data collected in the tracking pixels contained in the
newsletters are stored and analyzed by the controller in order to optimize
the shipping of the newsletter, as well as to adapt the content of future
newsletters even better to the interests of the data subject. These
personal data will not be passed on to third parties. Data subjects are at
any time entitled to revoke the respective separate declaration of consent
issued by means of the double-opt-in procedure. After a revocation, these
personal data will be deleted by the controller. The BMB Base Metals Brokerage GmbH automatically regards a withdrawal from the receipt of the
newsletter as a revocation.
7. Contact possibility via the website
The website of the BMB Base Metals Brokerage GmbH contains information
that enables a quick electronic contact to our enterprise, as well as
direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of the
so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the
controller by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted
by the data subject are automatically stored. Such personal data
transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the data controller
are stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject.
There is no transfer of this personal data to third parties.
8. Routine erasure and blocking of personal data
The data controller shall process and store the personal data of the
data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of
storage, or as far as this is granted by the European legislator or other
legislators in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject
to.
If the storage purpose is not applicable, or if a storage period
prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator
expires, the personal data are routinely blocked or erased in accordance
with legal requirements.
9. Rights of the data subject
- a) Right of confirmation
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European

If one of the aforementioned reasons applies, and a data subject wishes
to request the erasure of personal data stored by the BMB Base Metals Brokerage GmbH, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the
controller. An employee of BMB Base Metals Brokerage GmbH shall promptly
ensure that the erasure request is complied with immediately.
Where the controller has made personal data public and is obliged
pursuant to Article 17(1) to erase the personal data, the controller,
taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation,
shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform other
controllers processing the personal data that the data subject has

The BMB Base Metals Brokerage GmbH shall no longer process the personal
data in the event of the objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling
legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights
and freedoms of the data subject, or for the establishment, exercise or
defence of legal claims.
If the BMB Base Metals Brokerage GmbH processes personal data for direct
marketing purposes, the data subject shall have the right to object at any
time to processing of personal data concerning him or her for such
marketing. This applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to
such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to the BMB Base Metals Brokerage GmbH to the processing for direct marketing purposes, the MBH

- h) Automated individual decision-making, including
profiling
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European
legislator not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated

rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or (3) is not based on the
data subject’s explicit consent.
If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or the performance
of, a contract between the data subject and a data controller, or (2) it
is based on the data subject’s explicit consent, the MBMB Base Metals Brokerage GmbH shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data
subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right
to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express his
or her point of view and contest the decision.

10. Data protection for applications and the application
procedures
The data controller shall collect and process the personal data of
applicants for the purpose of the processing of the application procedure.
The processing may also be carried out electronically. This is the case,
in particular, if an applicant submits corresponding application documents
by e-mail or by means of a web form on the website to the controller. If
the data controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant,
the submitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the
employment relationship in compliance with legal requirements. If no
employment contract is concluded with the applicant by the controller, the
application documents shall be automatically erased two months after
notification of the refusal decision, provided that no other legitimate
interests of the controller are opposed to the erasure. Other legitimate
interest in this relation is, e.g. a burden of proof in a procedure under
the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).
11. Data protection provisions about the application and use of
Google Analytics (with anonymization function)
On this website, the controller has integrated the component of Google
Analytics (with the anonymizer function). Google Analytics is a web
analytics service. Web analytics is the collection, gathering, and
analysis of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. A web
analysis service collects, inter alia, data about the website from which a
person has come (the so-called referrer), which sub-pages were visited, or
how often and for what duration a sub-page was viewed. Web analytics are
mainly used for the optimization of a website and in order to carry out a
cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising.
The operator of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600
Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, United States.
For the web analytics through Google Analytics the controller uses the
application “_gat. _anonymizeIp”. By means of this application the IP
address of the Internet connection of the data subject is abridged by
Google and anonymised when accessing our websites from a Member State of
the European Union or another Contracting State to the Agreement on the
European Economic Area.
The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze the traffic
on our website. Google uses the collected data and information, inter
alia, to evaluate the use of our website and to provide online reports,
which show the activities on our websites, and to provide other services
concerning the use of our Internet site for us.
Google Analytics places a cookie on the information technology system
of the data subject. The definition of cookies is explained above. With
the setting of the cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the use of our
website. With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet
site, which is operated by the controller and into which a Google
Analytics component was integrated, the Internet browser on the
information technology system of the data subject will automatically
submit data through the Google Analytics component for the purpose of
online advertising and the settlement of commissions to Google. During the
course of this technical procedure, the enterprise Google gains knowledge
of personal information, such as the IP address of the data subject, which
serves Google, inter alia, to understand the origin of visitors and
clicks, and subsequently create commission settlements.
The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the access
time, the location from which the access was made, and the frequency of
visits of our website by the data subject. With each visit to our Internet
site, such personal data, including the IP address of the Internet access
used by the data subject, will be transmitted to Google in the United
States of America. These personal data are stored by Google in the United
States of America. Google may pass these personal data collected through
the technical procedure to third parties.
The data subject may, as stated above, prevent the setting of cookies
through our website at any time by means of a corresponding adjustment of
the web browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies.
Such an adjustment to the Internet browser used would also prevent Google
Analytics from setting a cookie on the information technology system of
the data subject. In addition, cookies already in use by Google Analytics
may be deleted at any time via a web browser or other software
programs.
In addition, the data subject has the possibility of objecting to a
collection of data that are generated by Google Analytics, which is
related to the use of this website, as well as the processing of this data
by Google and the chance to preclude any such. For this purpose, the data
subject must download a browser add-on under the link
https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout and install it. This browser
add-on tells Google Analytics through a JavaScript, that any data and
information about the visits of Internet pages may not be transmitted to
Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-ons is considered an
objection by Google. If the information technology system of the data
subject is later deleted, formatted, or newly installed, then the data
subject must reinstall the browser add-ons to disable Google Analytics. If
the browser add-on was uninstalled by the data subject or any other person
who is attributable to their sphere of competence, or is disabled, it is
possible to execute the reinstallation or reactivation of the browser
add-ons.
Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of
Google may be retrieved under
https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/ and under
http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/us.html. Google Analytics is further
explained under the following Link https://www.google.com/analytics/.
12. Legal basis for the processing
Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing
operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose.
If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a
contract to which the data subject is party, as is the case, for example,
when processing operations are necessary for the supply of goods or to
provide any other service, the processing is based on Article 6(1) lit. b
GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations which are necessary
for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of
inquiries concerning our products or services. Is our company subject to a
legal obligation by which processing of personal data is required, such as
for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6
(1) lit. c GDPR.
In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect
the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person. This
would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company
and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would
have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the
processing would be based on Art. 6(1) lit. d GDPR.
Finally, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR.
This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not covered
by any of the abovementioned legal grounds, if processing is necessary for
the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a
third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests
or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require
protection of personal data. Such processing operations are particularly
permissible because they have been specifically mentioned by the European
legislator. He considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if
the data subject is a client of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2
GDPR).
13. The legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a
third party
Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1) lit. f
GDPR our legitimate interest is to carry out our business in favor of the
well-being of all our employees and the shareholders.
14. Period for which the personal data will be stored
The criteria used to determine the period of storage of personal data
is the respective statutory retention period. After expiration of that
period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, as long as it is no
longer necessary for the fulfillment of the contract or the initiation of
a contract.
15. Provision of personal data as statutory or contractual
requirement; Requirement necessary to enter into a contract; Obligation of
the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of
failure to provide such data
We clarify that the provision of personal data is partly required by
law (e.g. tax regulations) or can also result from contractual provisions
(e.g. information on the contractual partner).
Sometimes it may be necessary to conclude a contract that the data subject
provides us with personal data, which must subsequently be processed by
us. The data subject is, for example, obliged to provide us with personal
data when our company signs a contract with him or her. The non-provision
of the personal data would have the consequence that the contract with the
data subject could not be concluded.
Before personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject
must contact any employee. The employee clarifies to the data subject
whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract
or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an
obligation to provide the personal data and the consequences of non-
provision of the personal data.
16. Existence of automated decision-making
As a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision-making or
profiling.
We would like to expressly point out that the transmission of data via
the Internet (e.g., by e-mail) can offer security vulnerabilities. It is
therefore impossible to safeguard the data completely against access by
third parties. We cannot assume any liability for damages arising as a
result of such security vulnerabilities.
The use by third parties of all published contact details for the
purpose of advertising is expressly excluded. We reserve the right to take
legal steps in the case of the unsolicited sending of advertising
information; e.g., by means of spam mail.
