HELLA respects your privacy
The protection of your privacy in processing personal data and the security of all business data is our prime concern and which we take into consideration in our business processes.

Google Analytics
Our website uses the Google Analytics service from the US company Google.

We do this in order to improve the functionality and content of the website, as we consider it very important to provide the best possible service to our visitors (including you). Google may pass this information on to third parties if it is legally required to do so or if third parties process the information on Google's behalf. We have no influence over this. The information collected by Google is made as anonymous as possible. It is transmitted to and stored on servers in the United States by Google.
