3. General Information and Mandatory Disclosures

Data Protection

The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations as
well as this Privacy Policy.

When you use this website, various types of personal data are collected. Personal data is data that can be used to personally identify you. This
Privacy Policy explains what data we collect and how we use it. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.

Please note that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., when communicating via email) may be subject to security vulnerabilities. It is not
possible to completely protect data from access by third parties.

Information on the Data Controller

The entity responsible for data processing on this website is:
Richter Formteile GmbH
Hertichstraße 80
71229 Leonberg

Phone: Tel.: +49 (0)7152 90171-0
Email: mail@richterformteile.com

The controller is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, email addresses, etc.).

Retention Period

Unless a more specific retention period is stated in this Privacy Policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you submit a
valid request for erasure or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be erased unless we have other legally permissible grounds for retaining your
personal data (e.g., retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, the data will be deleted once these grounds no longer apply.

General Information on the Legal Bases for Data Processing on This Website

If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR, provided that special categories of data are processed in accordance with Article 9(1) of the GDPR. In the event of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also carried out on the basis of Article 49(1)(a) of the GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to access to information on your device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), data processing is additionally based on Section 25(1) of the German Teleservices Data Protection Act (TTDSG). You may revoke your consent at any time. If your data is necessary for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of precontractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data to the extent that it is necessary to comply with a legal obligation pursuant to Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR. Data processing may also be based on our legitimate interest pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The applicable legal bases in each individual case are described in the following sections of this Privacy Policy.

Note on Data Transfers to the U.S. and Other Third Countries

Among other things, we use tools provided by companies based in the United States or other third countries that do not offer a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU. When these tools are active, your
personal data may be transferred to these third countries and processed there. Please note that these countries cannot guarantee a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU.
For example, U.S. companies are required to disclose personal data to law enforcement agencies without you, as the data subject, having the right to challenge this in court. It therefore cannot be ruled out that U.S. authorities (e.g., intelligence agencies) may process, analyze, and permanently store your data located on U.S. servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence over these
processing activities.

Withdrawal of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may withdraw any consent you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried
out prior to the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Specific Cases and to Direct Marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

If data processing is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) of the GDPR, you have the right at any time to object to the processing of your personal data for reasons arising from your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this Privacy Policy. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data in question, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims (objection under Article 21(1) of the GDPR).

If your personal data is processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for such marketing purposes; this also applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will no longer be used for the purposes of direct marketing (objection under Article 21(2) of the GDPR).

Right to File a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, their place
of work, or the location of the alleged violation. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract provided to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format
. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another data controller, this will only take place to the extent that it is technically feasible.

Access, Rectification, and Erasure

Subject to applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to receive, free of charge, information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the
purpose of the data processing, as well as, where applicable, the right to have this data corrected or deleted. You may contact us at any time regarding this matter or any other questions about personal data.

Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You may contact us at any time regarding this matter. The right to restriction of processing applies in
the following cases:

If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data was or is unlawful, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend, or assert legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of erasure.
If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR, a balancing of your interests against ours must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data—apart from its storage—may be processed only with your consent or for the purpose of asserting, exercise, or
defense of legal claims; to protect the rights of another natural or legal person; or for reasons of a substantial public interest of the European Union or
a Member State.

SSL or TLS Encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address bar of your browser changes from “

Our website uses so-called “cookies.” Cookies are small data packets that do not cause any damage to your device. They are stored on your device either temporarily for the duration of a session
(session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Persistent cookies remain stored on your device
until you delete them yourself or your web browser deletes them automatically.

Cookies may originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of
certain third-party services within websites (e.g., cookies for processing payment services).

Cookies serve various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website features would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart feature or the display

The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent to
the storage of cookies and similar tracking technologies has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and Section 25(1
) of the TTDSG); consent may be revoked at any time.

You can configure your browser to notify you when cookies are set and to allow cookies only on a case-by-case basis, to block
the acceptance of cookies in specific cases or generally, and to enable the automatic deletion of cookies when you close your browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

If you submit inquiries to us via the contact form, the information you provide in the inquiry form—including the contact details you enter there—will be stored by us for the purpose of processing your inquiry
and in case of follow-up questions. We will not disclose this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, provided that your inquiry relates to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures
. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries directed to us (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR) or on your
consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR) if such consent was requested; you may revoke your consent at any time.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies
(e.g., after your inquiry has been fully processed). Mandatory legal provisions—in particular retention periods—remain unaffected.

Inquiries via Email, Phone, or Fax

If you contact us via email, phone, or fax, your inquiry—including all personal data contained therein (name, inquiry)—will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request
. We will not disclose this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, provided your inquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures
. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries directed to us (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR) or on your
consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR) if such consent was requested; you may revoke your consent at any time.

The data you send us via contact requests will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies

5. Analytics Tools and Advertising

Google Tag Manager

We use Google Tag Manager. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Tag Manager is a tool that allows us to integrate tracking or analytics tools and other technologies into our website. Google Tag Manager itself does not
create user profiles, store cookies, or perform independent analyses. It serves solely to manage and deploy the tools integrated through it. However
, Google Tag Manager collects your IP address, which may also be transferred to Google’s parent company in the United States.

The use of Google Tag Manager is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the quick and straightforward integration and
management of various tools on its website. If consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and Section 25(1

be revoked at any time.

Google Analytics

This website uses features of the web analytics service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Analytics enables the website operator to analyze the behavior of website visitors. In doing so, the website operator receives various usage data, such as page views, time spent on the site,
operating systems used, and the user’s origin. This data is associated with the user’s respective device. There is no association with a user ID.

Furthermore, we can use Google Analytics to track, among other things, your mouse and scroll movements and clicks. Google Analytics also uses various modeling approaches to supplement the collected
data sets and employs machine learning technologies in data analysis.

Google Analytics uses technologies that enable user recognition for the purpose of analyzing user behavior (e.g., cookies or device fingerprinting). The information collected by Google regarding the use of this website is generally transmitted to a Google server in the United States and stored there.

Use of this service is based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and §25(1) of the TTDSG. You may revoke your consent at any time.

requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.

Google Ads

The website operator uses Google Ads. Google Ads is an online advertising program provided by Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Ads enables us to display ads in the Google search engine or on third-party websites when users enter specific search terms into Google (keyword targeting). Furthermore
, targeted advertisements can be displayed based on user data available to Google (e.g., location data and interests) (audience targeting). As the
website operator, we can evaluate this data quantitatively by, for example, analyzing which search terms led to the display of our ads and how many ads resulted in corresponding clicks
.

Use of this service is based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and §25(1) of the TTDSG. You may revoke your consent at any time.

Data transfers to the U.S. are based on the EU Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses.

Google Ads Remarketing

This website uses the features of Google Ads Remarketing. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Ads Remarketing allows us to assign individuals who interact with our online offerings to specific target groups so that we can subsequently display interest-based ads to them on the Google
Display Network (remarketing or retargeting).

Furthermore, the advertising audiences created with Google Ads Remarketing can be linked to Google’s cross-device features. In this way, interest-based, personalized advertising messages—which have been tailored to you based on your previous usage and browsing behavior on one device (e.g., a cell phone)—can
also be displayed on another of
your devices (e.g., a tablet or PC).

If you have a Google Account, you can opt out of personalized advertising at the following link:

Audience Targeting with Customer Match

For audience targeting, we use, among other things, the customer matching feature of Google Ads Remarketing. In doing so, we transfer certain customer data (e.g., email addresses) from our customer lists to
Google. If the customers in question are Google users and are signed in to their Google accounts, relevant ads will be displayed to them within the Google network (e.g., on YouTube, Gmail, or in the
search engine).

Google Conversion Tracking

This website uses Google Conversion Tracking. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
With the help of Google Conversion Tracking, Google and we can determine whether a user has performed certain actions. For example, we can analyze which buttons on our website
are clicked and how often, as well as which products were viewed or purchased particularly frequently. This information is used to generate conversion statistics. We learn the total number of users
who clicked on our ads and what actions they took. We do not receive any information that would allow us to personally identify the user. Google itself uses cookies or similar recognition technologies for
identification purposes.

The use of this service is based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and §25(1) of the TTDSG. You may revoke your consent at any time.

LinkedIn Insight Tag

This website uses the LinkedIn Insight Tag. The provider of this service is LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland.

Data Processing via the LinkedIn Insight Tag

With the help of the LinkedIn Insight Tag, we receive information about visitors to our website. If a website visitor is registered with LinkedIn, we can analyze, among other things, the key professional data (e.g., career level,
company size, country, location, industry, and job title) of our website visitors and thus better tailor our site to the respective target groups. Furthermore, using LinkedIn Insight Tags, we can measure whether visitors to our website make a purchase or take another action (conversion tracking). Conversion tracking can also be performed across devices (e.g., from a PC to a tablet). LinkedIn Insight Tag also offers a retargeting feature that allows us to display targeted ads to our website visitors outside of the website; however, according to LinkedIn, the recipient of the ad is not identified.

LinkedIn itself also collects so-called log files (URL, referrer URL, IP address, device and browser properties, and time of access). IP addresses are truncated or (if used
to reach LinkedIn members across devices) hashed (pseudonymized). LinkedIn members’ direct identifiers are deleted by LinkedIn after seven days. The remaining
pseudonymized data is then deleted within 180 days.

As the website operator, we cannot associate the data collected by LinkedIn with specific individuals. LinkedIn will store the personal data collected from website visitors on its servers in the United States and use it for its own advertising purposes. For details, please refer to LinkedIn’s Privacy Policy at
https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy#choices-oblig.

Newsletter Information

If you would like to subscribe to the newsletter offered on the website, we require your email address as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of
the provided email address and that you consent to receiving the newsletter. No other data is collected, or is collected only on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively to
send the requested information and do not share it with third parties.

The processing of the data entered in the newsletter subscription form is based solely on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may revoke your consent to the storage of
your data and email address, as well as their use for sending the newsletter, at any time—for example, via the “Unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. The lawfulness of data processing operations that have already taken

7. Plugins and Tools

YouTube with Enhanced Privacy Settings

This website embeds videos from YouTube. The operator of the site is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

We use YouTube in enhanced privacy mode. According to YouTube, this mode ensures that YouTube does not store any information about visitors to this website before they watch the video
. However, the enhanced privacy mode does not necessarily prevent the sharing of data with YouTube partners. Thus, YouTube establishes a connection to the Google DoubleClick network—regardless of whether you watch a video
.

As soon as you start a YouTube video on this website, a connection is established with YouTube’s servers. In the process, the YouTube server is informed which of our pages you have visited.
If you are logged into your YouTube account, you allow YouTube to directly associate your browsing behavior with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube
account.

Furthermore, after you start a video, YouTube may store various cookies on your device or use comparable recognition technologies (e.g., device fingerprinting). In this way, YouTube can obtain information about visitors to this website. This information is used, among other things, to collect video statistics, improve user experience, and
prevent fraud.

In some cases, additional data processing operations may be triggered after a YouTube video is played, over which we have no control.

The use of YouTube is in the interest of presenting our online offerings in an appealing manner. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. If consent has been obtained, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and Section 25(1) of the TTDSG, insofar as the consent covers the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. Consent may be revoked at any time.

This site uses the Google Maps mapping service. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

To use the features of Google Maps, it is necessary to store your IP address. This information is generally transmitted to a Google server in the United States and stored there.
The provider of this site has no influence over this data transmission. When Google Maps is activated, Google may use Google Fonts to ensure consistent font display. When
you access Google Maps, your browser loads the required web fonts into its cache to display text and fonts correctly.

The use of Google Maps serves the interest of presenting our online offerings in an appealing manner and making it easy to locate the places listed on our website. This constitutes
a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. If consent has been requested, processing is based exclusively on Article 6(1)(a
) of the GDPR and Section 25(1) of the TTDSG, insofar as the consent covers the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. Consent
may be revoked at any time.

Data transfers to the U.S. are based on the EU Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses.

We transfer personal data to third parties only if this is necessary for the fulfillment of the contract, such as to the financial institution responsible for processing payments.

No further transfer of data takes place, or only if you have expressly consented to the transfer. Your data will not be disclosed to third parties without your express consent,
such as for advertising purposes.

The legal basis for data processing is Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures.
