We use your data to answer your request.

The data you enter will be transmitted via a secure https/SSL connection.

Your data will be deleted within a period of 90 days after processing unless it must be stored for a longer period of time for reasons of verifiability, customer support or legally required retention periods.

6. Use of service providers / Data processing in countries outside the European Economic Area

REWE is employing service providers that provide certain services and process your data. They host your data in a secure computer center and they maintain and analyse databases (so-called contract data processing). These providers process data exclusively under the instruction of REWE and have been obliged to comply with the applicable data protection regulations. Contract processors have been carefully selected. They gain access to your personal data only to the extent and for the period of time that is required and only to the extent to which you have agreed to data processing and use.

The servers of some of the providers employed by REWE are located in the United States and other countries outside the European Union. Data protection laws governing companies in these countries generally provide less protection for personal data than do the laws in force in the European Union’s member states. If your data is handled in a country in which data is not afforded the same level of protection as in the European Union, REWE makes contractual arrangements or uses other approved instruments to ensure that your personal data is appropriately protected.
