  1. Protection of your personal data

Data protection and the protection of your privacy are important to us. Accordingly, we process personal data only in accordance with the applicable legal provisions for data protection and data security, in particular the General Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO), the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and the Telecommunications Telemedia Data Protection Act (TTDSG). In doing so, we are guided by the principle of data avoidance and data economy. We require our employees to maintain confidentiality and secrecy.

Our website can be used without registration, i.e. basically without actively disclosing your identity or manually entering personal data. Nevertheless, personal data is collected each time you visit our website. It may also be necessary to provide your personal data in the course of use, e.g. when you contact us. The following privacy policy informs you about the processing of your personal data when using our website, the measures taken to protect your data and your rights as a data subject.

Further information on the processing of customer data beyond the web presence can be found here.

 

III. general principles for the processing of personal data

  1. Description of the processing of personal data

We use IT systems on our websites to provide services to our users and customers, where we process the personal data described in more detail below.

  1. Legal bases for the processing of personal data

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing operations of personal data, Art. 6 (1) lit. a DSGVO serves as the legal basis.

When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 (1) lit. b DSGVO serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures.

Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary for the fulfillment of a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c DSGVO serves as the legal basis in conjunction with a concretizing special enabling norm.

If the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override the former interest, Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO serves as the legal basis for the processing.

  • Disclosure of data, processors, external providers

 

Data transmission

 

Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those listed below. We only pass on your personal data to third parties

 

  • if you have given your express consent to this in accordance with Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. a DSGVO,
  • if the disclosure is necessary for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims pursuant to Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. f DSGVO and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest in not disclosing your data that is worthy of protection
  • in the event that there is a legal obligation for the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. c DSGVO,
  • if this is necessary for the processing of contractual relationships with you according to Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b DSGVO.

 

Processor

 

The transfer of your data to order processors only takes place within the framework of the legal provisions, in particular in accordance with Art. 28 DSGVO. We have concluded a service agreement and a valid contract for commissioned processing with all processors. The order processor will only process the personal data on our instructions and for the purposes described, in particular for the fulfillment of the contract. 

 

Your data is protected against loss, misuse and unauthorized or unauthorized access, disclosure, modification or deletion. We log accesses, collect access passwords and encrypt data unless this fundamentally affects our services.

 

External providers and links

 

On this website you will also find information and services from other providers who collect personal data as part of their offers. Please note that we are not responsible for the processing of this data, but only the external provider, where other conditions may apply.

 

This website may contain links to websites of other providers. It should be noted that this privacy policy applies exclusively to our website. We cannot verify whether external providers comply with the applicable data protection provisions.

  1. Data deletion and storage period

The personal data of the data subject shall be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of the storage no longer applies, e.g. the storage of the data is no longer necessary for the performance of a contract or for an overriding legitimate interest. Storage may also take place if this is provided for by the European or national legislator in regulations, laws or other provisions to which the responsible party is subject. Accordingly, a deletion or blocking of the data takes place when a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires.

  1. Visit our website
  1. Description and scope of data processing

When you visit our website www.kom4tec.de, the browser used on your end device automatically sends information to the server of our website. This information is temporarily stored in a log file. The following information is collected without your intervention and stored until automated deletion:

  • IP address of the requesting computer
  • Date and time of access
  • Name and URL of the retrieved file
  • Website from which the access is made (referrer URL)
  • Browser used and, if applicable, the operating system of your computer
  • Name of your access provider

The log files contain IP addresses or other data that allow an assignment to a user.

  1. Purpose of data processing

The aforementioned data will be processed by us for the following purposes:

  • Ensuring a smooth connection of the website
  • Ensuring a comfortable use of our website
  • Evaluations of system security and stability
  • Evaluation of user behavior
  • other administrative purposes

The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable delivery of the website to the user's computer. For this purpose, the IP address of the user must remain stored for the duration of the session. The storage in log files is done to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, we use the data to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. In this specific context, we do not use the collected data for the purpose of drawing conclusions about your person for marketing purposes.

In addition, we use cookies and analysis services when you visit our website. You can find more detailed explanations of this under section VI of this data protection declaration.

  1. Legal basis of data processing

The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b DSGVO, as a user relationship is given, as well as Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f DSGVO. Our legitimate interest follows from the purposes for data collection described above. 

  1. Duration of storage

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of the collection of data for the provision of the website, this is generally the case when the respective session has ended. If IP addresses are stored in log files in an unabbreviated form, the personal data is deleted or anonymized after seven days at the latest. Storage beyond this is possible in connection with cookies or analysis services. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or shortened, so that an assignment of the calling client is not possible. You can find more detailed explanations of this in section VI of this data protection declaration.

  1. Cookies, plugins and web analytics

In the following, we describe in detail which cookies, analysis tools and plugins we use, which data is processed and how you can deactivate the analysis tools. The term "cookies" may also be used as a generic term for plugins and analysis tools of all kinds.

  1. What are cookies ?

Cookies are sometimes used when using our website. Cookies are small files that are automatically created by the browser and stored on the end device (laptop, tablet, smartphone or similar) of the user when visiting the website. Cookies do not cause any damage to the end device, do not contain viruses, Trojans or other malware. In the cookie, information is stored that arises in each case in connection with the specific end device used. Cookies can be automatically recognized and read during a current visit or during the next visit. This does not mean, however, that the site operator gains immediate knowledge of the user's identity. 

Cookies make the visit to the website more user-friendly by remembering personal settings or serve the advertising interests of the site operator. Cookies make it possible, in particular, to determine the frequency of use and number of users of the pages, to analyze behavior patterns of page use, but also to make our offer more customer-friendly. So-called session cookies are used, among other things, to recognize that the user has already visited individual pages of the website. These are automatically deleted after leaving the page.  

When you leave our site and go to third party sites, cookies may also be set by the target site. We are not legally responsible for these cookies. For the use of these cookies by third parties and the information stored therein, please compare the privacy statements there.

  1. Legal basis for cookies, analytics tools and plugins 

We may store cookies on your device if they are technically necessary for the operation of the website. Necessary cookies help to make a website usable by enabling basic functions such as page navigation or language selection. The website cannot function in part without such cookies. The data thereby processed for the named purposes serve to protect legitimate interests that prevail in the context of a balancing of interests and are therefore necessary in accordance with the principle of proportionality. The legal basis for technically necessary cookies is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f DSGVO in conjunction with. § Section 25 (2) No. 2 TTDSG. 

For all other cookie types, we require your consent. You can specifically select these as explicit opt-in consents in a dialog window (cookie consent window) during your first visit to our website. This sets a cookie in your system that contains your cookie settings and signals to our system which cookies have been accepted each time you visit our website. You can change or revoke your cookie settings on our website at any time. Instructions on how to disable cookies can be found below. The legal basis for all other cookie types is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a DSGVO, § 25 para. 1 TTDSG, insofar as you have given your consent. 

If you delete all cookies, this will have the effect that the cookie with your cookie settings will also be deleted, so you will have to set your cookie preferences again. Limiting cookies may result in limited functionality of the website.

  1. How do we use cookies, analytics tools and plugins ? Purpose of data processing

Within the scope of cookies, analysis tools and plug-ins, the name of the Internet service provider, requested files, IP address, access to individual pages, browser type, screen resolution, color depth, operating system, search terms and reference pages from which you have reached our websites are processed, among other things.

The data contained in session cookies or other cookies are processed by us for the following purposes:

  • Ensuring the smooth operation of the website
  • Ensuring a comfortable use of our website
  • System security and stability 
  • for other administrative or promotional purposes

We process and use the resulting data to improve the marketing of our websites, to increase the user-friendliness of the websites and for other optimization purposes. The analysis required for marketing and optimization purposes generally does not allow us to draw any direct conclusions about your person or personal data. In particular, no names, addresses, telephone numbers or other data are stored that can be directly assigned to individuals. The analysis only provides aggregated data, such as the number of visitors and page views.

Cookies allow us, among other things, to adapt our website to your wishes, to establish connections between different calls to our website or to store your password in the browser so that you do not have to re-enter it each time.

We also use cookies for targeted advertising. We also allow third-party vendors and automated data collection tools to use cookies to help us deliver our own content and ads and measure the effectiveness of our advertising efforts. For registered users, the information collected on our websites is not anonymous. We use this information together with other information we know or derive about you, such as your preferences, to provide content, services and advertisements tailored to you.

We currently use on our website the cookies listed in our Cookie Policy listed and described in more detail in our Cookie Policy.

  1. Duration of storage

Some cookies are deleted at the end of the browser session, i.e. after the browser is closed (so-called session cookies). Other cookies remain on the end device and make it possible to recognize the user on the next visit (persistent cookies). The specific duration of storage can be found in our Cookie Policy as well as the overview in the cookie settings of your web browser. In all other respects, the general storage principles outlined above apply.

  1. Cookies deactivation

You can configure your browser so that no cookies are stored on your computer or a message always appears before a new cookie is created. Complete deactivation of cookies may mean that you cannot use all the functions of a website.

If you want to exclude cookies from being used, set your browser to delete cookies from your hard drive, block all cookies, or warn you before a cookie is stored so that you can decide on a case-by-case basis whether you want the cookie. Each browser differs in the way it manages cookie settings. They are described in more detail in the help menu of each browser. There it is explained how you can change your cookie settings.

  1. Google Analytics 

 

This website uses under certain circumstances Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (https://www.google.de/contact/impressum.html) or Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (hereinafter "Google"). In this context, pseudonymized usage profiles are created and cookies are used. The information generated by cookies about your use of this website, such as browser type/version, operating system used, referrer URL (the previously visited page), host name of the accessing computer (IP address), date, time of server request, number of visits and the pages viewed are transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

The information is used to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website and Internet use for the purposes of market research and demand-oriented design of these Internet pages. This information may also be transferred to third parties if this is required by law or if third parties process this data on our behalf. By activating IP anonymization on this website, the IP address is shortened before transmission within the EU or EEA (IP masking). Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. The anonymized IP address transmitted by your browser within the scope of Google Analytics is generally not merged with other Google data.

The legal basis for the processing of personal data is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a DSGVO, insofar as you have given your consent.

You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser (see above for details). However, we would like to point out that in this case not all functions of this website can be used to their full extent. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing a browser add-on (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de). As an alternative to the browser add-on, especially with browsers on mobile devices, you can also prevent the collection by Google Analytics by clicking on this link click. An opt-out cookie will be set, which prevents the future collection of your data when visiting this website. The opt-out cookie is only valid in this browser and only for our website and is stored on your device. If you delete the cookies in this browser, you must set the opt-out cookie again.

The processing of personal data by Google also takes place in the USA. To ensure an adequate level of data protection for data transfers to the USA, Google concludes the EU standard contractual clauses with its customers, see here https://business.safety.google/gdpr/ and here https://policies.google.com/privacy/frameworks?hl=de. The wording of the EU standard data protection clauses can be found at https://gsuite.google.com/terms/mcc_terms.html. Google is also certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield. A current certificate can be here can be viewed here. Google thereby undertakes to comply with the standards and regulations of European data protection law. In a ruling by the ECJ, the Privacy Shield was declared invalid because it cannot ensure an adequate level of data protection in the USA.

As a rule, this is 256-bit encryption. If your browser does not support 256-bit encryption, we use 128-bit technology instead. You can tell whether an individual page of our website is encrypted by the closed key or lock symbol in the lower status bar of your browser. 

We also use appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction or against unauthorized access by third parties. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.

Wordfence Security

Wordfence Security is a security tool that we use to protect our websites from spam and especially viruses and malware. In order to prevent the website from being used illegally by third parties, IP addresses that, for example, try to log in with false credentials or access the website very often in a very small period of time (DOS attacks) are specifically blocked. Therefore, for the security of the websites and their users, it is necessary for this extension to store potentially dangerous IP addresses. Furthermore, IP addresses are transferred to servers in the USA and retrieved so that they can be compared with a database. This database can collect dangerous IP addresses from various websites, which increases the security of the site and the effectiveness of the extension.

Purpose and legal basis of data processing

The security measures described are used on the basis of Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f, Art. 32 DSGVO. The data processed in this way is necessary for security purposes to protect our legitimate interests as well as the interests of third parties in accordance with Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. f DSGVO.
