Thank you for your interest in our homepage.

The protection of your personal data during the collection, processing and use on the occasion of your visit to our homepage is an important concern for us. Your data will be protected within the framework of the legal regulations.

Please take a moment to read the following information. This will inform you about how we handle your personal data, how and for what purpose this data is used, to whom we pass on this data and how we protect your personal data.

Your privacy rights are our top priority and we do our best to protect and safeguard these rights.

Privacy Statement

This privacy statement explains what personal data we or third parties may collect during your visit to our website, to what extent and how this information is used. The same applies if we collect personal data in the course of providing our media services (websites).

Definitions

The data protection declaration of Gebr. Kühn GmbH & Co. KG is based on the terms used by the European Directive and Ordinance when issuing the Basic Data Protection Regulation (DS-GVO). Our data protection declaration should be easy to read and understand for the public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance.

We use the following terms, among others, in this data protection declaration:

(a) personal data

Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter "data subject"). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

(b) the person concerned

Data subject means any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data are processed by the controller.

(c) processing

Processing means any operation or set of operations which is performed upon personal data, whether or not by automatic means, such as collection, recording, organisation, filing, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

(d) restriction of processing

Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their future processing.

(e) profiling

Profiling is any type of automated processing of personal data consisting in using such personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects relating to that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or change of location.

f) Pseudonymisation

Pseudonymisation means the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures which ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

(g) controller or person responsible for processing

Controller or controller means the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.

Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its designation may be provided for under Union or Member State law.

(h) processor

Processor means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

(i) Recipient

Recipient means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body to whom personal data are disclosed, whether or not a third party. However, public authorities that may receive personal data in the context of a specific investigative task under Union or Member State law shall not be considered as recipients.

j) Third Party

Third party means any natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and the persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or the processor, are authorised to process the personal data.

k) Consent

Consent shall mean any freely given specific and informed indication of the data subject's wishes, in the form of a statement or other unambiguous affirmative act, by which the data subject signifies his or her agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

Collection of general data and information

With each call of the website of the Gebr. Kühn GmbH & Co. KG, a data subject or automated system collects a series of general data and information. This general data and information is stored in the log files of the server. The following data may be collected: (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system accesses our website (so-called referrer), (4) the websites that are accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of an access to the website, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system and (8) other similar data and information that serve to avert danger in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using these general data and information, the Gebr. Kühn GmbH & Co. KG does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed (1) to deliver the contents of our website correctly, (2) to optimize the contents of our website and the advertising for these, (3) to ensure the long-term operability of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber attack. Therefore, the Gebr. Kühn GmbH & Co. KG analyzes anonymously collected data and information on one hand, and on the other hand, with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise, to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from any personal data provided by a data subject.

1. collection and use of IP addresses

A computer that connects to the Internet is assigned a unique number by an Internet service provider. This is the Internet Protocol (IP) address. Depending on the user's service, the provider may assign the user a different address each time the user connects to the Internet. Because IP addresses are typically assigned in country-based blocks, an IP address can often be used to identify the country in which that computer connects to the Internet. When you visit our websites, our web server temporarily records the following server protocol: the IP address, the name of the retrieved file, the date and time of the retrieval, the amount of data transferred, the message about the successful retrieval, the browser type and version, the user's operating system, the referrer URL (the previously visited page) and the requesting provider. The collection and use of this protocol data is carried out by us for the purpose of system security and the functional design of the website. If this is not the case, IP addresses are shortened by us before further use so that a possible reference to a person is no longer possible. If you enter into a contractual relationship with us, the collection and use of the log data for purposes of contract documentation and the encounter of abuse.

Insofar as third-party content, such as videos, maps, RSS feeds, graphics or social plug-ins from other service providers (websites), is integrated into our websites, this technically always requires that these service providers ("third-party providers") perceive the IP address of the user. Without the IP address, they would not be able to send their content to the browser of the respective user. The IP address is thus necessary for the presentation of this content. We have no influence if the third party providers use the IP address e.g. for statistical or other purposes. Insofar as we are aware of this, we will inform users of this below.

We point out that the Internet-based data transmission has security gaps and complete protection against access by third parties is therefore impossible.

2. own cookies

a) Description and scope of data processing

We use so-called cookies on our website to recognise multiple use of our offer by the same user/internet connection owner. Cookies are small text files that your Internet browser stores on your computer. They serve to optimise our Internet presence and our offers. These are mostly so-called "session cookies", which are deleted again after the end of your visit.

b) Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the processing of personal data using technically necessary cookies is Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO.

In the case of processing personal data using cookies for analysis purposes, the legal basis according to Art. 6 (1) (a) of the DSGVO is an existing consent of the user.

c) Purpose of data processing

The purpose of technically necessary cookies is to simplify the use of our website for users. Some functions of our website cannot be offered without the use of cookies. Therefore, it is necessary that the browser is recognized even after a page change.

For example, we require cookies for the following applications:

(1) Shopping cart

(2) Adoption of language settings

(3) Remembering search terms

We do not use the user data collected by technically necessary cookies to create user profiles. In some cases, cookies provide information to automatically recognize you. This recognition is based on the IP address stored in the cookies. The information obtained in this way is used to optimise our offers and to provide you with easier access to our site. Through analysis cookies, we learn how the website is used and can thus constantly optimize our offer.

These purposes are also our legitimate interest in processing the personal data in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. F DSGVO.

d) Duration of storage, possibility of objection and removal

Cookies are stored on your computer and then transmitted to our site. Thus, you have complete control over cookies that are collected.

You can prevent the installation of cookies by adjusting your browser settings accordingly. You can find these for the respective browsers under the following links:


Internet Explorer:
http://windows.microsoft.com/de-DE/windows-vista/Block-or-allow-cookies

Safari: https://support.apple.com/kb/ph21411?locale=de_DE

Chrome: http://support.google.com/chrome/bin/answer.py?hl=de&hlrm=en&answer=95647

Firefox https://support.mozilla.org/de/kb/cookies-erlauben-und-ablehnen

Opera http://help.opera.com/Windows/10.20/de/cookies.html

However, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of our website to their full extent.

3 Newsletter Marketing

3.1 Subscription to our newsletter

a) Description and scope of data processing

On the website of the Gebr. Kühn GmbH & Co KG, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our enterprise's newsletter. The personal data transmitted to the controller when the user subscribes to the newsletter is specified in the input mask used for this purpose.

The Gebr. Kühn GmbH & Co KG informs its customers and business partners at regular intervals by means of a newsletter about enterprise offers. The newsletter of our enterprise can basically only be received by the data subject, if (1) the data subject has a valid e-mail address and (2) the data subject registers for the newsletter mailing. For legal reasons, a confirmation e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address entered by a data subject for the first time for the newsletter dispatch using the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation e-mail serves to verify whether the owner of the e-mail address as the data subject has authorized the receipt of the newsletter.

b) Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the processing of the users' personal data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO.

c) Purpose of data processing

When registering for the newsletter, we also store the IP address of the computer system used by the data subject at the time of registration, as assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP), as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to trace the (possible) misuse of the e-mail address of a data subject at a later point in time and therefore serves as a legal safeguard for the controller.

The personal data collected in the context of a registration for the newsletter are exclusively used for sending our newsletter. Furthermore, subscribers to the newsletter could be informed by e-mail if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a related registration, as could be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter offer or changes in the technical circumstances. No personal data collected as part of the newsletter service will be passed on to third parties.

d) Duration of storage

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for our recording purposes. In our case, the data is not automatically deleted, since according to Art. 6 (1) lit. F DSGVO, there is a legitimate interest for data processing and the data is needed to use historical user data to create target groups (e.g. for remarketing) for as long as desired. In addition, long-term analyses and well-founded optimizations can be carried out, for example.

e) Possibility of objection and cancellation

The subscription to our newsletter can be cancelled by the data subject at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data that the data subject has given us for the newsletter mailing can be revoked at any time. For the purpose of revoking consent, a corresponding link can be found in each newsletter. Furthermore, it is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter mailing directly on the website of the controller at any time or to inform the controller of this in another way.

3.2 Newsletter tracking

a) Description and scope of data processing

The newsletters of the Gebr. Kühn GmbH & Co. KG contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic that is embedded in such e-mails that are sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and log file analysis. This allows a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, the Gebr. Kühn GmbH & Co. KG may see if and when an e-mail was opened by a data subject, and which links contained in the e-mail were called up by the data subject.

b) Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the processing of the users' personal data is Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO.

c) Purpose of data processing

Such personal data collected via the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and evaluated by the controller in order to optimize the newsletter dispatch and to better adapt the content of future newsletters to the interests of the data subject.

These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in processing the data pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO.

d) Duration of storage

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for our recording purposes. In our case, the data is not automatically deleted, as there is a legitimate interest for data processing according to Art. 6 (1) lit. F DSGVO and the data is needed to use historical user data to create target groups (e.g. for remarketing) for any length of time. In addition, long-term analyses and well-founded optimizations can be carried out, for example.

e) Possibility of objection and removal

This personal data will not be passed on to third parties. Data subjects are entitled at any time to revoke the separate declaration of consent given in this regard via the double opt-in procedure. After a revocation, this personal data will be deleted by the data controller. Gebr. Kühn GmbH & Co. KG automatically regards a withdrawal from the receipt of the newsletter as a revocation.

4. external cookies & tracking technologies

Insofar as third-party content is integrated into our website, these third-party providers may set cookies, which you can also prevent by default in your browser by making certain settings.

Our website also uses so-called tracking technologies. We use these technologies to make our website more interesting for you. This technology makes it possible to address Internet users who have already shown interest in our website with advertising on the websites of our partners (e.g. Facebook, Google).

4.1 Google Analytics with anonymisation function

a) Description and scope of data processing

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, hereinafter "Google", on our website. Google Analytics uses "cookies", which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site.

This helps us to continuously improve our website and its user-friendliness. These purposes are also our legitimate interest in processing the data according to Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO. By anonymizing the IP address, the interest of users in their personal data protection is sufficiently taken into account.

d) Duration of storage

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for our recording purposes. In our case, the data is not automatically deleted, since according to Art. 6 (1) lit. F DSGVO there is a legitimate interest for data processing and the data is needed to use historical user data to create target groups (e.g. for remarketing) for as long as desired. In addition, long-term analyses and well-founded optimizations can be carried out, for example.

e) Possibility of objection and removal

You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website.

Furthermore, Google offers a deactivation option for the most common browsers, which gives you more control over what data is collected and processed by Google. If you activate this option, no information about the website visit will be transmitted to Google Analytics.

4.2 Google AdWords Remarketin

a) Description and scope of data processing

We use the Google Remarketing service of Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, hereinafter "Google", on our website. With Google Remarketing, ads can be placed for users who have already visited our website in the past. Within the Google advertising network, this allows advertisements to be displayed on our site that are tailored to your interests. Google Remarketing uses cookies for this evaluation. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and allow an analysis of the use of the website. This makes it possible to recognise our visitors as soon as they call up websites within the Google advertising network.

You have the right to request information on whether personal data concerning you is transferred to a third country or to an international organization. In this context, you may request to be informed about the appropriate safeguards pursuant to Article 46 of the GDPR in connection with the transfer.

9.2 Right to rectification

You have a right to rectification and/or completion vis-à-vis the controller, insofar as the personal data processed concerning you are inaccurate or incomplete. The controller shall make the rectification without undue delay.

Subject to the following conditions, you may request the restriction of the processing of personal data concerning you:

(2) the processing is unlawful and you object to the erasure of the personal data and request instead the restriction of the use of the personal data;

(4) if you have objected to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR and it is not yet clear whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override your grounds.

Where the processing of personal data concerning you has been restricted, such data may - apart from being stored - only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of substantial public interest of the Union or a Member State.

If the restriction of processing has been restricted in accordance with the above conditions, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted.

9.4 Right to erasure

a) Obligation to delete

You may request the controller to erase the personal data concerning you without undue delay and the controller shall be obliged to erase such data without undue delay if one of the following reasons applies:

(1) The personal data concerning you are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.

(2) You revoke your consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) or Art. 9(2)(a) DSGVO and there is no other legal basis for the processing.

(1) for the exercise of the right to freedom of expression and information;

(2) for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;

(3) for reasons of public interest in the area of public health pursuant to Article 9(2)(h) and (i) and Article 9(3) of the GDPR;

(4) for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) DSGVO, insofar as the right referred to in section a) is likely to render impossible or seriously prejudice the achievement of the purposes of such processing; or

(5) for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims.

9.5 Right to information

If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing against the controller, the controller is obliged to inform all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been disclosed of this rectification or erasure of the data or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort.

You have the right to be informed of these recipients by the controller.

9.6 Right to data portability

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to the controller in a structured, common and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data has been provided, provided that

(1) the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a DSGVO or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO and

(2) the processing is carried out with the help of automated procedures.

In exercising this right, you also have the right to obtain that the personal data relating to you be transferred directly from one controller to another controller, where this is technically feasible. The freedoms and rights of other persons must not be affected by this.

The right to data portability does not apply to processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

9.7 Right to object

You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you which is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(e) or (f) of the DSGVO; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

The controller shall no longer process the personal data concerning you unless it can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims.

If the personal data concerning you is processed for the purposes of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purposes of such marketing; this also applies to profiling, insofar as it is related to such direct marketing.

If you object to the processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for these purposes.

You have the possibility, in connection with the use of information society services, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to exercise your right to object by means of automated procedures using technical specifications.

9.8 Right to revoke the declaration of consent under data protection law

You have the right to revoke your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. The revocation of the consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation.

9.9 Automated decision in individual cases including profiling

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing - including profiling - which produces legal effects vis-à-vis you or similarly significantly affects you. This does not apply if the decision

(1) is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the controller,

(2) is permissible on the basis of legal provisions of the Union or the Member States to which the controller is subject and these legal provisions contain appropriate measures to protect your rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests, or

(3) is made with your explicit consent.

However, these decisions must not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Article 9(1) of the GDPR, unless Article 9(2)(a) or (g) of the GDPR applies and appropriate measures have been taken to protect your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests.

With regard to the cases referred to in (1) and (3), the controller shall take reasonable steps to safeguard the rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain the intervention of a person on the part of the controller, to express your point of view and to contest the decision.

9.10 Right to complain to a supervisory authority

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your residence, workplace or the place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of personal data concerning you infringes the GDPR.

The supervisory authority to which the complaint has been lodged will inform the complainant of the status and outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy under Article 78 GDPR.
