2. General Information and Mandatory Information
Data Protection
The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this Privacy Policy.
When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is data that can be used to identify you personally. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.
We point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., communication by e-mail) may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.
Information on the Responsible Entity
The responsible entity for data processing on this website is:
Ktm Elektronik Aufzuge Service GmbH
Lerchenveg 6 Wedel
22880 Pinneberg
Germany
Phone: 0410 3187 95 32
E-mail: info@ktmelektronikaufzuge.de
The responsible entity is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, e-mail addresses, etc.).
Withdrawal of Your Consent to Data Processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may withdraw consent that you have already given at any time. An informal notification by e-mail to us is sufficient. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out up to the time of withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.
Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
If data processing is based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right at any time, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to object to the processing of your personal data; 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 concerned unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims (objection under Art. 21(1) GDPR).
If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will no longer be used for direct marketing purposes (objection under Art. 21(2) GDPR).
Right to Lodge 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 place of the alleged infringement. This right exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to Data Portability
You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in performance of a contract delivered 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 controller, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.
SSL/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 browser address line changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.
If SSL/TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Information, Blocking, Deletion and Correction
Within the framework of the 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 data processing, and, if applicable, a right to correction, blocking, or deletion of this data. For this purpose, as well as for further questions on the subject of personal data, you can contact us at any time at the address stated in the Imprint.
Right to Restriction of Processing
You have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data. For this purpose, you can contact us at any time at the address stated in the Imprint. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:
If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of processing instead of deletion.
If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of your interests and ours must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data may—apart from being stored—only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.
Objection to Advertising E-mails
The use of contact data published within the scope of the legal notice obligation for sending unsolicited advertising and information materials is hereby objected to. The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited advertising information being sent, such as spam e-mails.
3. Data Collection on Our Website
Cookies
Some of the websites use so-called cookies. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies are used to make our offer more user-friendly, effective, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.
Most of the cookies we use are “session cookies”. They are automatically deleted after your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognize your browser the next time you visit.
You can configure your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be limited.
Cookies that are necessary to carry out electronic communication processes or to provide certain functions you request (e.g., shopping cart function) are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If other cookies (e.g., cookies to analyze your surfing behavior) are stored, these are treated separately in this Privacy Policy.
Server Log Files
The provider of these pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files that your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:
Browser type and browser version
Operating system used
Referrer URL
Hostname of the accessing computer
Time of the server request
IP address
These data are not merged with other data sources.
These data are collected on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of its website—this requires the collection of server log files.
Contact Form
If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact data you provided there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not share this data without your consent.
The processing of the data entered into the contact form is therefore carried out exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may withdraw this consent at any time. An informal notification by e-mail to us is sufficient. The lawfulness of the data processing operations carried out up to the time of withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.
The data you entered in the contact form will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions—especially retention periods—remain unaffected.
Inquiry by E-mail, Phone or Fax
If you contact us by e-mail, phone, or fax, your inquiry including all personal data resulting from it (name, inquiry) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We do not share this data without your consent.
The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, provided that your inquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) and/or our legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR), as we have a legitimate interest in the effective processing of inquiries addressed to us.
The data you send to us via contact inquiries will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions—especially statutory retention periods—remain unaffected.
4. Social Media
eRecht24 Safe Sharing Tool
The content on our pages can be shared in a data-protection-compliant manner in social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, or Google+. This site uses the eRecht24 Safe Sharing Tool for this purpose. This tool only establishes direct contact between the networks and users when the user actively clicks one of these buttons. Clicking the button constitutes consent within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. This consent may be withdrawn at any time with effect for the future.
This tool does not automatically transmit user data to the operators of these platforms. If the user is logged into one of the social networks, an information window will appear when using the social buttons of Facebook, Google+1, Twitter & Co., in which the user can confirm the text before sending it.
Our users can share the content of this site in social networks in a data-protection-compliant manner without the operators of the networks being able to create complete surfing profiles.
5. Analytics Tools and Advertising
Matomo (formerly Piwik)
This website uses the open-source web analytics service Matomo. Matomo uses so-called “cookies”. These are text files that are stored on your computer and enable analysis of your use of the website. For this purpose, the information generated by the cookie about the use of this website is stored on our server. The IP address is anonymized before being stored.
Matomo cookies remain on your device until you delete them.
The storage of Matomo cookies and the use of this analytics tool are based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the anonymized analysis of user behavior in order to optimize both its web offering and its advertising.
The information generated by the cookie about the use of this website is not passed on to third parties. You can prevent the storage of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser software; however, we point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent.
If you do not agree with the storage and use of your data, you can deactivate the storage and use here. In this case, an opt-out cookie will be stored in your browser that prevents Matomo from storing usage data. If you delete your cookies, this will result in the Matomo opt-out cookie also being deleted. The opt-out must be reactivated when you visit our site again.
6. Newsletter
Newsletter Data
If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require your e-mail address as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the specified e-mail address and that you agree to receive the newsletter. No further data is collected, or only on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively to send the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.
The processing of the data entered in the newsletter registration form is carried out exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may withdraw the consent given for storing the data, the e-mail address, and its use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example via the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. The lawfulness of data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the withdrawal.
The data stored with us for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted after cancellation of the newsletter. Data stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected by this.
7. Plugins and Tools
YouTube with Enhanced Privacy
Our website uses plugins from the YouTube website. The operator of the pages is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
We use YouTube in enhanced privacy mode. According to YouTube, this mode means 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 exclude the transfer of data to YouTube partners. For example, YouTube—regardless of whether you watch a video—establishes a connection to the Google DoubleClick network.
As soon as you start a YouTube video on our website, a connection is established to YouTube servers. The YouTube server is informed which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to directly associate your surfing behavior with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.
Furthermore, YouTube can store various cookies on your device after starting a video. With the help of these cookies, YouTube can obtain information about visitors to our website. This information is used, among other things, to collect video statistics, improve user-friendliness, and prevent fraud attempts. The cookies remain on your device until you delete them.
If applicable, further data processing operations may be triggered after a YouTube video is started, over which we have no influence.
The use of YouTube is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offerings. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
Further information on data protection at YouTube can be found in their privacy policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en
Google Web Fonts
This site uses so-called web fonts provided by Google for the uniform display of fonts. The Google Fonts are installed locally. No connection to Google servers takes place.
Google Maps
This site uses the Google Maps map service via an API. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
To use the functions of Google Maps, it is necessary to store your IP address. This information is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The provider of this site has no influence on this data transfer.
The use of Google Maps is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offerings and an easy findability of the places we indicate on the website. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
More information on the handling of user data can be found in Google’s privacy policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en
8. Our Own Services
Applications
We offer you the opportunity to apply to us (e.g. by e-mail, by post, or via an online applicant form). Below we inform you about the scope, purpose, and use of your personal data collected during the application process. We ensure that the collection, processing, and use of your data is in accordance with applicable data protection law and all other statutory provisions, and that your data will be treated as strictly confidential.
Scope and purpose of data collection
If you submit an application to us, we process the personal data associated with it (e.g. contact and communication data, application documents, notes from job interviews, etc.) insofar as this is necessary to decide on the establishment of an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is Section 26 BDSG-new under German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (general pre-contractual measures), and—if you have given your consent—Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Consent may be withdrawn at any time. Within our company, your personal data is passed on only to persons involved in processing your application.
If the application is successful, the data you submitted will be stored in our data processing systems for the purpose of carrying out the employment relationship on the basis of Section 26 BDSG-new and Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.
Storage period of the data
If we are unable to make you a job offer, you reject a job offer, you withdraw your application, you revoke your consent to data processing, or you request deletion of the data, the data you transmitted—including any remaining physical application documents—will be stored/retained for a maximum of 6 months after completion of the application process (retention period) in order to trace the details of the application process in the event of discrepancies (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
YOU MAY OBJECT TO THIS STORAGE IF YOU HAVE LEGITIMATE INTERESTS THAT OUTWEIGH OUR INTERESTS.
After the retention period has expired, the data will be deleted unless there is a statutory retention obligation or another legal basis for further storage. If it is apparent that retention of your data beyond the retention period will be necessary (e.g. due to an impending or pending legal dispute), deletion will only take place once the data is no longer required. Other statutory retention obligations remain unaffected.
