Data protection declaration
Thank you for visiting our website https://ek-gmbh.de/. In the following, we would like to inform you about the handling of your data in accordance with Art. 13 of the Datenschutzgrundverordnung (DSGVO).
Responsible party
The controller for the data collection and processing described below is the entity named in the legal notice.
Usage data
When you visit our website, so-called usage data is temporarily stored on our web server as a log for statistical purposes in order to improve the quality of our website. This data record consists of
- the page from which the file was requested
- the name of the file
- the date and time of the request
- the amount of data transferred
- the access status (file transferred, file not found),
- the description of the type of web browser used,
The aforementioned log data is only stored in anonymized form.
Data security
We take technical and organizational measures to protect your data from unauthorized access as comprehensively as possible. We use an encryption process on our website. Your data is transmitted from your computer to our server and vice versa via the Internet using SSL encryption. You can recognize this by the fact that the lock symbol in the status bar of your browser is closed and the address line begins with https://.
Data transmission to third parties
We do not transmit any data to third parties.
Cookies
We use cookies on our website. Cookies are small text files that can be stored and read on your end device. A distinction is made between session cookies, which are deleted as soon as you close your browser, and permanent cookies, which are stored beyond the individual session. Cookies can contain data that makes it possible to recognise the device used. In some cases, however, cookies only contain information on certain settings that are not personally identifiable.
We use session cookies on our website. The processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO and in the interest of optimising or enabling user guidance and adapting the presentation of our website.
You can set your browser to inform you about the placement of cookies. This makes the use of cookies transparent for you. You can also delete cookies at any time via the corresponding browser setting and prevent the setting of new cookies. Please note that our website may then not be displayed optimally and some functions may no longer be technically available.
Contact form & enquiry assistant
You have the option of contacting us via a web form. To use our contact form, we need your name and e-mail address. You can provide further information, but this is not mandatory.
The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. Your data will only be processed to answer your enquiry and will be deleted after a period of 7 days, provided that your enquiry does not result in any follow-up activities for a specific purpose. Your data will not be passed on to third parties.
Social media
For data protection reasons, we do not integrate any social plugins directly into our website. When you visit our pages, no data is therefore transmitted to social media services such as Facebook, Twitter, XING or Google+. Profiling by third parties is therefore excluded.
Your rights as a user
When processing your personal data, the DSGVO grants you certain rights as a website user:
1. Right of access (Art. 15 DSGVO):
You have the right to request confirmation as to whether personal data concerning you is being processed; if this is the case, you have a right to information about this personal data and to the information listed in detail in Art. 15 DSGVO.
2. Right to rectification and erasure (Art. 16 and 17 DSGVO):
You have the right to obtain without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning you and, where applicable, the completion of incomplete personal data.
You also have the right to demand that personal data concerning you be deleted immediately if one of the reasons listed in Art. 17 DSGVO applies in detail, e.g. if the data is no longer required for the purposes pursued.
3. Right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 DSGVO):
You have the right to request the restriction of processing if one of the conditions listed in Art. 18 DSGVO is met, e.g. if you have lodged an objection to the processing, for the duration of any examination.
4. Right to data portability (Art. 20 DSGVO):
In certain cases, which are listed in detail in Art. 20 DSGVO, you have the right to receive the personal data concerning you in a structured, common and machine-readable format or to request the transfer of this data to a third party.
5. Right to object (Art. 21 DSGVO):
If data is collected on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f (data processing to safeguard legitimate interests), you have the right to object to the processing at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation. We will then no longer process the personal data unless there are demonstrably compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
6. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
In accordance with Art. 77 DSGVO, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if you are of the opinion that the processing of data concerning you violates data protection regulations. The right to lodge a complaint can be exercised in particular with a supervisory authority in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement[KS(1].
