Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 2026

This is an English translation for your convenience. The legally binding version is the German original.

Protecting your personal data matters to us. Below you will find which data we process and for what purpose — as briefly and clearly as possible.

1. Controller

The controller for data processing on this website is Maria Maria Wines GmbH, Elberfelder strasse 78d, 40822 Mettmann, Germany, email: info@maria-maria.de.

2. Collection and storage of personal data

When you visit this website, the server automatically records technical information (e.g. IP address, date and time of access, page requested, browser type). This data serves solely to ensure trouble-free operation and is not merged with other data sources.

The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest in providing the website securely).

3. Contact form and tasting enquiries

If you write to us via the contact form, we process the data you provide (name, email address, subject, request, message and, for tasting enquiries, preferred date and number of guests) solely in order to handle your enquiry.

The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR (steps prior to entering into a contract) or Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for processing and no statutory retention obligations apply.

4. Orders in the online shop

To fulfil orders we process the data required in order to conclude the contract, deliver the goods and take payment (name, address, email address, payment details). The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.

Data is passed on only to the service providers involved in fulfilment (e.g. shipping and payment providers) and only to the extent required in each case.

5. Newsletter

We use the double opt-in procedure for our newsletter: after signing up you receive an email in which you confirm your subscription. The legal basis is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR; you may withdraw it at any time via the unsubscribe link in the newsletter.

6. Cookies and local storage

This website uses no tracking or marketing cookies. Your browser's local storage (localStorage) is used to provide the shopping cart; no personal data is transmitted to us in the process.

Your language choice is stored in a strictly necessary cookie (mm_locale) so that the site greets you in the language you selected on your next visit. It contains only the language code and is not used to identify you.

7. Your rights

You have the right of access (Art. 15 GDPR), rectification (Art. 16 GDPR), erasure (Art. 17 GDPR), restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR), data portability (Art. 20 GDPR) and objection to processing (Art. 21 GDPR).

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority — in North Rhine-Westphalia: the State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information NRW.
