Getting in touch

Handling your enquiry

When you contact us using the form, by email or by telephone, we use your information to understand and respond to your enquiry.

01

Enquiry details

The key details for an enquiry are your company, a contact method, the type of goods and the warehousing or service you require. Depending on the enquiry, these may be supplemented by the timeframe, quantity, phone number and a message.

02

Online enquiry form

Your entries are sent through Formspree to Martin at martin@rudolfhartmann.it only when you submit the form. The enquiry includes your business and contact details, information about goods and services, and your message. Filling in the form alone does not send these details.

03

Direct email remains available

The public contact address remains info@rudolfhartmann.it. An email link opens your email application. A message prepared there is only sent when you send it yourself.

04

Only the information needed

Initially, please provide only the details we need for your enquiry, without sensitive personal information or confidential documents.

Purposes and legal bases

We use contact and enquiry data to respond to your request, agree suitable services and, where applicable, prepare a quotation or contract.

Enquiries in your own name

If the enquiry concerns a contract with you personally, for example as a sole trader, we process the necessary details to take steps before entering into a contract or to perform it under Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.

Company contacts

If you contact us on behalf of a company or with a general business question, our legitimate interest is to handle your enquiry appropriately and communicate for business purposes. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Legal obligations

Where we are legally required to retain business records, this processing is carried out under Article 6(1)(c) GDPR. We handle such documents separately from simple contact enquiries.

Voluntary contact

You decide whether to contact us. Without a way to follow up and sufficient information about your request, we may be unable to respond. Contacting us does not sign you up for advertising or a newsletter.

Cookies and measurement

Analytics and advertising measurement only with your consent

You can choose separately whether to allow Google Analytics statistics and Google Ads advertising measurement. Before you consent, no Google measurement services are loaded and no measurement data is sent to Google. Declining does not restrict your use of our website or contact forms.

01

Your preferences and withdrawal of consent

We store your preferences, version, timestamp and expiry in this browser for six months so that we can respect your decision. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(c) GDPR in conjunction with our accountability obligations; the necessary storage falls under Article 122(1) of the Italian Data Protection Code.

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time with future effect through ‘Cookie settings’ at the bottom of each page. This does not affect processing carried out before withdrawal. Your preferences apply only to the browser concerned and must be set separately on other devices.

02

Statistics with Google Analytics 4

With your consent, we analyse which pages are used and how visitors navigate our website. We record page views, language, general device and browser information, form starts, scroll depth, contact clicks and successfully submitted enquiries. Cookie identifiers can associate visits with a browser. Google also processes technical connection data such as the IP address.

We do not send form contents, names, company details, email addresses or phone numbers as measurement data. Phone and email clicks indicate only an intention to contact us, not a completed call or a sent message. Google signals and personalised advertising are not enabled.

03

Measuring results with Google Ads

If you allow both analytics and advertising, we import confirmed enquiry events from Google Analytics into Google Ads. This measures whether an ad click leads to a successfully submitted form enquiry. Google may process advertising click identifiers, cookie identifiers, timestamps and technical connection data. A page view or a click on ‘Submit’ alone does not count as a successful enquiry. With analytics consent alone, successful enquiries are recorded only for statistics and are not sent as a Google Ads conversion goal.

We use neither remarketing nor enhanced conversions based on contact details on this website. No form contents or hashed customer details are sent to Google. Phone and email clicks are not treated as equivalent enquiry goals.

04

Management through Google Tag Manager

Google Tag Manager manages the permitted measurement services and loads only after you consent to analytics. Advertising measurement also requires your consent to advertising. With advertising consent alone, we load no Google measurement services. Google may process technical connection data when loading. Before the relevant consent, we do not send even cookieless measurement signals to Google.

The legal basis for optional analytics and advertising measurement is your consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and, for access to your device, Article 122(1) of the Italian Data Protection Code. Visiting, scrolling or sending an enquiry does not constitute consent.

Providers and data processing

Information about Google services

The provider for users in the European Economic Area is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google and its affiliates may also process data outside the EU, particularly through Google LLC in the United States.

Google identifies the EU–US Data Privacy Framework as a basis for transfers to the United States and, where applicable, standard contractual clauses for other transfers. The Google notices linked below explain the details and how to request information about the safeguards.

Retention of detailed user- and event-level data in Google Analytics is set to two months. Aggregated statistical reports are not subject to this setting. Browser cookie lifetimes are separate from this retention period. See Cookie settings for information about local storage and your choices.

This website does not use the Meta pixel or offer newsletter subscriptions. If you open an external link, the relevant operator's privacy notice applies.

Separate advertising consent

Measuring the results of our OpenAI ads

Only with your separate consent to “Advertising · OpenAI Ads” do we report successfully submitted form enquiries to OpenAI. We send the “Enquiry sent” event, a random identifier to prevent duplicate counting and, where available, the ad click identifier. OpenAI also receives your IP address and browser data through the technical request. This measurement is not anonymous.

We do not send names, company details, email addresses, telephone numbers, messages or matching values derived from them to OpenAI. We do not load any OpenAI script that reads form fields. Full page addresses, unvalidated URL parameters and the previously visited page are not sent. Clicks on email and telephone links do not count as enquiries here.

To attribute a later form submission, we store an ad click identifier in your browser for up to 30 days after consent. We remember a validated campaign name and the entry page in the same tab for no more than 30 minutes; these details may be added to your enquiry in Formspree and are not sent to OpenAI as additional event fields. Use ends when the entries expire or you withdraw consent; the entries are removed on your next visit to the website or when you withdraw consent.

OpenAI processes the measurement data as an independent controller, including to improve and deliver its advertising services. For the EEA, the controller is OpenAI Ireland Limited, 1st Floor, The Liffey Trust Centre, 117–126 Sheriff Street Upper, Dublin 1, D01 YC43, Ireland. Data may be processed in the USA; OpenAI explains its transfer safeguards and retention periods, which depend on the purpose, in the privacy notice linked below.

The legal basis is your consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and Article 122(1) of the Italian Data Protection Code. You can accept or reject OpenAI independently of Google and withdraw your choice at any time under “Cookie settings”. Without this consent, no OpenAI measurement takes place; the contact form remains available. Withdrawal does not delete data already processed by the provider.

Retention and services

Using your data for defined purposes

Your details are used to handle your request. No automated process is planned for contact enquiries that makes decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects concerning you.

Retention of enquiries

Our internal deletion policy is to review and delete completed enquiries that did not lead to an order six months after closure or the last contact, unless another legitimate reason for retention applies. Ongoing quotations and documents subject to statutory retention requirements are excluded.

Formspree

We use Formspree, Inc. to send enquiries. Formspree processes submitted form details and technical data such as your IP address, browser and access time to deliver the enquiry and prevent misuse. Data is also processed in the United States. Alternatively, you can contact us directly by email or telephone.

Formspree privacy information

Form copies

Our organisational policy is to delete additional copies received in Formspree after 90 days. This policy is not an automatic deletion feature. Handling your enquiry does not depend on consent to analytics or advertising.

Technical delivery of the website

This website is hosted by Vercel Inc. Technical data such as your IP address, date and time, requested address and browser is processed to deliver the website and keep it secure. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in a secure and reliable website under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Data may also be processed in the United States.
