Privacy Policy

<2>1. General Information

We are very delighted that you have shown interest in our enterprise. Data protection is of a particularly high priority for „Wolfgang Killmann EDV-Service”. The use of the Internet pages of „Wolfgang Killmann EDV-Service” is possible without any indication of personal data. However, if a person concerned wishes to make use of special services of our company via our website, it may be necessary to process personal data. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a data subject shall always be in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to „Wolfgang Killmann EDV-Service”. By means of this data protection declaration, our company would like to inform the public about the type, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed of the rights to which they are entitled by means of this data protection declaration.

As the controller, „Wolfgang Killmann EDV-Service” has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone.

8. Use of Matomo Analytics

The controller has integrated the open source web analytics tool Matomo with anonymization functions on this website. Web analysis is the collection, collation and evaluation of data about the behaviour of visitors on a website. Among other things, a web analysis tool collects data on the website from which a data subject has accessed a website (so-called referrer) and which subpages of the website have been accessed. Web analysis is primarily used to optimise our website.

By using Matomo, we are able to collect and analyse information about the use of our website by visitors. For example, we may be able to determine the time of page views and the region from which the page views were made. In addition, we record various log files (e.g. IP address, referrers, browsers and operating systems used) and may measure whether visitors of our website take certain actions (e.g. clicks).

IP Anonymization

We use IP anonymization for analysis with Matomo. This means that the IP address is shortened before it is analyzed so that it can no longer be uniquely assigned to you.

Analysis without using cookies

We have configured Matomo so that no cookies are stored in your browser.

Matomo Analytics is hosted on our own server. This ensures that analysis data is not shared with third parties.

9. Use of ADCELL

The data controller has integrated ADCELL components on this website. ADCELL is a German affiliate network that offers affiliate marketing. Affiliate marketing is an Internet-supported form of distribution that enables commercial operators of websites, known as merchants or advertisers, to display advertising, which is usually remunerated via click or sale commissions, on third-party websites, i.e. with distribution partners, also known as affiliates or publishers. The merchant provides an advertising medium via the affiliate network, i.e. an advertising banner or other suitable means of Internet advertising, which is subsequently integrated by an affiliate on their own website or advertised via other channels, such as keyword advertising or e-mail marketing.

The operating company of ADCELL is Firstlead GmbH, Rosenfelder Str. 15-16, 10315 Berlin, Germany.

ADCELL places a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are has already been explained above. ADCELL's tracking cookie does not store any personal data. Only the identification number of the affiliate, i.e. the partner referring the potential customer, as well as the order number of the visitor to a website and the advertising material clicked on are stored. The purpose of storing this data is the processing of commission payments between a merchant and the affiliate, which are processed via the affiliate network, i.e. ADCELL.

The data subject may, as stated above, prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by means of a corresponding adjustment of the web browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent ADCELL from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the person concerned. In addition, cookies already set by ADCELL can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs.

The applicable data protection provisions of ADCELL may be retrieved under General Terms & Data Privacy of ADCELL.

10. Use of Google AdSense

This website uses Google AdSense. This is a service provided by Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, for the integration of advertisements. Google AdSense uses cookies. These are files that Google can store on your PC to analyze the data of your use of our website. Google AdSense also uses web beacons, invisible graphics that enable Google to analyze clicks on this website, traffic on this website and similar information.

The information obtained via cookies and web beacons, your IP address and the delivery of advertising formats are transmitted to a Google server located in the USA and stored there. Google may pass this collected information on to third parties if this is required by law or if Google commissions third parties to process the data. However, Google will merge your IP address with the other stored data.

You can prevent these cookies from being stored on your PC by making the appropriate settings in your Internet browser. However, this may mean that the content of this website can no longer be used to the same extent. By using this website, you consent to the processing of data about you by Google in the manner and for the purposes set out above.

The applicable data protection provisions of Google may be retrieved under Privacy Policy of Google.

11. Legal basis of the processing

Article 6 I lit. a) GDPR serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, as is the case, for example, when processing operations are necessary for the supply of goods or to provide any other service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. b) GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation which requires the processing of personal data, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Article 6 I lit. c) GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may become necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and their name, age, health insurance details or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. The processing would then be based on Article 6 I lit. d) GDPR.

Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Article 6 I lit. f GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not covered by any of the abovementioned legal grounds, if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, it took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).

12. Legitimate interests in the processing

If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I lit. f GDPR, our legitimate interest is the performance of our business activities for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders.

13. Duration of storage of personal data

The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After this period has expired, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, provided that it is no longer required for contract fulfillment or contract initiation.

14. Provision of personal data

We would like to inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also result from contractual regulations (e.g. information on the contractual partner).

Sometimes it may be necessary for a contract to be concluded for a data subject to provide us with personal data that must subsequently be processed by us. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company concludes a contract with them. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded.

Before personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee will inform the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and what the consequences would be if the personal data were not provided.

15. Existence of automated decision-making

As a responsible company, we do not use automated decision-making or profiling.
