What information do we collect and for what purpose?
We collect and use personal data from our users only to the extent necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. The collection and use of personal data from our users is generally only carried out with the user’s consent. An exception applies in cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for practical reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.
Description and scope of data processing:
Each time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the accessing computer.
For statistical purposes, we store the name of the requested website, the date and time of the page view, and the amount of data transferred. In addition, we store whether the transfer of information was successful and which provider was used to access the site.
The data is also stored in our system’s log files. This data is not stored together with other personal data relating to the user.
The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable the website to be delivered to the user’s computer. For this purpose, the user’s IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session.
The data is stored in log files to ensure the functionality of the website. We also use the data to optimise the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. The data is not evaluated for marketing purposes in this context.
These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in data processing in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
In order to make our website as pleasant and convenient as possible for you as a user, we occasionally use the services of external service providers. Below, you have the opportunity to find out about the data protection regulations governing the use of the services and functions employed, so that you can also exercise your rights with the service providers if necessary.
Google Maps:
Our websites use Google Maps to display maps and create route plans. Google Maps is operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. By using this website, you consent to the collection, processing and use of automatically collected data and data entered by you by Google, one of its representatives or third-party providers. The terms of use for Google Maps can be found under ‘Terms of Use for Google Maps’. Detailed information can be found in the privacy centre at google.co.uk: ‘Transparency and choice’ and ‘Privacy policy’.
If you provide us with your email address, we will communicate with you via email. However, we will not pass this address on to third parties outside Kalzip GmbH. KG. If personal data is transmitted to us depending on the settings of your email programme, we will treat this data as confidential. The information transmitted within the information exchange is not encrypted.
If you fill out a registration form with contact information (‘CONTACT’) on our website, this information will be used to send you the requested responses, product information, news, etc. Your personal data will be used exclusively for these purposes and will not be passed on to third parties outside Kalzip GmbH. The data you send us online is not encrypted. The legal basis for this data processing is your conclusive consent as declared during the sending process in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. This data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected. As a user, you have the option of cancelling your registration at any time. You can have the data stored about you changed at any time.
Google Fonts:
Our website uses external fonts, Google Fonts. Google Fonts is a service provided by Google Inc. (‘Google’). These web fonts are integrated via a server call, usually a Google server in the USA. This transmits to the server which of our web pages you have visited. Google also stores the IP address of the browser on the visitor’s device. For more information, please refer to Google’s privacy policy, which you can access here:

Google Analytics:
Google Analytics is a service provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (‘Google’). Google Analytics uses ‘cookies’, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyse how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of our website (including your IP address) is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. We would like to point out that on our websites, Google Analytics has been extended by the code ‘gat._anonymizeIp();;’ to ensure anonymous collection of IP addresses (so-called IP masking). At our request, Google therefore only records your IP address in truncated form, which ensures anonymisation and does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about your identity. If IP anonymisation is activated on our websites, your IP address will be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. Google will use this information to evaluate your use of our websites, to compile reports on website activity for us and to provide us with other services relating to website and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. Google will only transfer this data to third parties on the basis of legal regulations or within the scope of order data processing. Under no circumstances will Google combine your data with other data collected by Google. By using this website, you consent to the processing of data about you by Google and the manner of data processing described above, as well as the purpose stated. You can prevent cookies from being stored by adjusting your browser software settings accordingly; however, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of our websites to their full extent. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link.
Further information on Google Analytics and data protection can be found at http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
On our website, you have the option of subscribing to a free newsletter. When you register for the newsletter, the data from the input mask is transmitted to us.
At this point, the specific data collected should be mentioned. At a minimum, this includes the user’s email address.
In addition, the following data is collected during registration:
• IP address of the accessing computer
• Date and time of registration
For the processing of data, your consent will be obtained during the registration process and reference will be made to this privacy policy.
In connection with data processing for the purpose of sending newsletters, no data will be passed on to third parties. The data will be used exclusively for sending the newsletter.
Purpose of data processing in connection with sending newsletters:
The user’s email address is collected for the purpose of delivering the newsletter. The newsletter is sent on the basis of the user’s registration on the website. The collection of other personal data during the registration process serves to prevent misuse of the services or the email address used.
Duration of storage with regard to data collected for the use of newsletters:
The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected. The user’s email address will therefore be stored for as long as the newsletter subscription is active.
The newsletter is sent on the basis of the user’s registration on the website.
Other personal data collected during the registration process will generally be deleted after a period of seven days.
Option to object to and unsubscribe from the newsletter:
The newsletter subscription can be cancelled by the user concerned at any time. For this purpose, each newsletter contains a corresponding unsubscribe link.
The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Storage may also take place if this has been provided for by European or national legislators in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the controller is subject. The data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract.
Other data will also be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of data collected for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended.
If the data is stored in log files, it will be deleted after seven days at the latest. Storage beyond this period is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users will be deleted or anonymised so that it is no longer possible to identify the accessing client.

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Article 6(1)(a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data.
When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, Article 6(1)(b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.
Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Article 6(1)(c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Article 6(1)(d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
If processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override the former interest, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing.
The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
In accordance with Art. 15 in conjunction with § 34 BDSG, you have the unrestricted right to obtain information free of charge about your data stored by us and, in accordance with § 35 BDSG, the right to have inadmissible data deleted or blocked or the right to have incorrect data corrected.

• the existence of a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority;
• all available information on the origin of the data, if the personal data is not collected from the data subject;
• the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, referred to in Article 22(1) and (4) of the GDPR and, at least in those cases, meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject.
• You have the right to request information about whether personal data concerning you is being transferred to a third country or to an international organisation. In this context, you may request to be informed about the appropriate safeguards pursuant to Article 46 GDPR in connection with the transfer.
Right to rectification:
You have the right to request the controller to correct and/or complete your personal data if it is inaccurate or incomplete. The controller must make the correction without delay.
Right to restriction of processing:
You may request the restriction of the processing of personal data concerning you under the following conditions:

• the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the personal data and request the restriction of their use instead;
• the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but you require it for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; or
• you have objected to 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, with the exception of storage, 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 important public interest of the Union or of a Member State.
If the processing has been restricted in accordance with the above conditions, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted.
Right to erasure:
You may request that the controller delete your personal data without delay, and the controller is obliged to delete this data without delay if one of the following reasons applies:
• The personal data concerning you is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
• You withdraw your consent on which the processing was based in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for the processing.

If the controller has made the personal data concerning you public and is obliged to erase it in accordance with Article 17(1) of the GDPR, it shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, taking into account the available technology and implementation costs, to inform controllers who process the personal data that you, as the data subject, have requested them to delete all links to this personal data or copies or replications of this personal data.
The right to erasure does not apply if processing is necessary:

• for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
If you have exercised your right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing against the controller, the controller is obliged to notify all recipients to whom your personal data has been disclosed of this rectification or erasure of the data or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort.

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to the controller in a structured, commonly used 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 was provided, provided that

• processing is carried out using automated means.
In exercising this right, you also have the right to have the personal data concerning you transferred directly from one controller to another controller, where technically feasible. This must not adversely affect the freedoms and rights of other persons.
The right to data portability does not apply to the 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.
Right to object and revoke:
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 GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
The controller shall no longer process the personal data concerning you unless the controller can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for such marketing purposes; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing.
