We take the protection of your personal data seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with applicable data protection laws and this Privacy Policy.

When you use this website, various types of personal data may be processed. This Privacy Policy explains what data is processed, for what purposes, and on what legal basis the processing takes place.

Please note that data transmission over the Internet—for example, when communicating via email—may pose security risks. We cannot guarantee complete protection of your data against access by third parties.

The controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is:

Kiltronic GmbH
Friedhofstr. 39/1
71573 Allmersbach im Tal
Germany

Phone: 07191 / 496236 – 0
Email: info@kiltronic.de

The controller is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.

Legal Basis for Data Processing

To the extent that the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of precontractual measures, such processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR.

To the extent that processing is necessary to safeguard our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third party, and no overriding interests, fundamental rights, or fundamental freedoms of the data subject preclude such processing, the processing is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.

To the extent that we obtain your consent for a specific data processing activity, such processing is based on Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. Any consent you have provided may be revoked at any time with future effect.

Retention period

Unless a more specific retention period is stated in this Privacy Policy, we store personal data only for as long as is necessary for the respective purpose of processing. If there are statutory retention requirements, the relevant data will be stored for the duration of these retention requirements and subsequently deleted, unless there is another legal basis for further storage.

Withdrawal of Your Consent

If data processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw any consent you have already given at any time. To do so, simply send us an informal notification, for example, by email. The lawfulness of the processing carried out up until the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

Right to Object

To the extent that we process your personal data on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, you have the right, pursuant to Article 21 of the GDPR, to object to the processing on grounds relating to your particular situation.

In the event of a valid objection, we will no longer process the relevant personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

If you believe that the processing of your personal data violates data protection laws, you have the right to file a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority.

Google Maps – Loads only after you give your consent

On our Contact page, we offer the option to display a map from Google Maps. The provider for users in the European Economic Area is generally Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

When you visit our Contact page, Google Maps does not load initially. At this point, the Google Maps feature we provide does not establish a connection to Google's servers. Instead, a locally embedded placeholder is displayed initially.

The map from Google will not be loaded until you actively click the “Show Google Maps” button. By clicking this button, you consent to the associated data transfer and data processing by Google.

When the map loads, your IP address, information about your browser and device, and other technical information may be transmitted to Google. Depending on your settings and your use of Google services, additional data may be processed and, if applicable, associated with your Google Account.

To the extent that information is stored or retrieved on your device when loading Google Maps, this is done based on your consent in accordance with § 25(1) of the TDDDG. The associated processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR.
