Data Protection

The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy. When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is data that can be used to identify you personally. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this happens. Please note that data transmission on the internet (for example, communication by email) may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data from access by third parties is not possible.

Information on the Responsible Party

The responsible party for data processing on this website is:

Kevin Kinner
Liebknechtstraße 4
99085 Erfurt, Germany

Phone: +49 361 78928855
Email: info@it-c-k.com

The responsible party is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of processing personal data (for example, names, email addresses, etc.).

Storage Duration

Unless a more specific storage period is stated in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (for example, tax or commercial retention periods). In the latter case, deletion will take place after these reasons no longer apply.

Legal Basis for Data Processing

If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR if special categories of data under Art. 9(1) GDPR are processed. In the case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, processing is also based on Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information on your end device (for example, via device fingerprinting), processing is additionally based on § 25(1) TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is required for contract performance or for pre-contractual measures, processing is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Furthermore, if processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation, it is based on Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. Processing may also be based on our legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The relevant legal bases in each individual case are described in the sections of this privacy policy below.

Data Transfers to Third Countries

Among other things, we use tools from companies based in the USA or other third countries that are not considered safe under data protection law. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these third countries and processed there. We note that a level of data protection comparable to the EU cannot be guaranteed in these countries. For example, US companies may be obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without you being able to take legal action as a data subject. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that US authorities (for example, intelligence services) process, evaluate, and permanently store your data located on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence over these processing activities.

Revocation of Consent

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke consent you have already given at any time. The legality of data processing carried out before the revocation remains unaffected.

Right to Object (Art. 21 GDPR)

If data processing is based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right to object at any time, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to the processing of your personal data. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The relevant legal basis for processing can be found in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your affected personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms or the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims (objection under Art. 21(1) GDPR).

If your personal data is processed for direct advertising, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for such advertising. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct advertising. If you object, your personal data will no longer be used for direct advertising purposes (objection under Art. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to Lodge a Complaint

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work, or the place of the alleged violation. This right exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in performance of a contract, in a commonly used, machine-readable format, and to have it transmitted to you or to a third party. If you request direct transfer to another controller, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.

Information, Deletion, and Correction

Within the scope of applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain information free of charge about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing and, if applicable, a right to correction or deletion of this data. For this and other questions about personal data, you can contact us at any time.

Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restriction exists in the following cases:

If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request restriction of processing. If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request restriction of processing instead of deletion. If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction instead of deletion. If you have lodged an objection under Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of your interests and ours must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of processing.

If processing of your personal data has been restricted, such data may only be processed, aside from storage, with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent to store cookies and comparable recognition technologies has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of that consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG); consent can be revoked at any time.

Server Log Files

The provider of these pages collects and stores information automatically in so-called server log files that your browser transmits to us automatically. These are: browser type and browser version, operating system used, referrer URL, host name of the accessing computer, time of the server request, and IP address.

This data is not merged with other data sources. Collection of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of the website. For this purpose, server log files must be collected.

Inquiries by Email, Phone, or Fax

If you contact us by email, phone, or fax, your inquiry including all personal data resulting from it (name, inquiry) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We do not pass this data on without your consent.

Processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your inquiry is related to performance of a contract or is necessary for pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if requested; consent can be revoked at any time.

The data you send to us in inquiries remains with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (for example, after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions, especially statutory retention periods, remain unaffected.
