If you wish to use the services offered on our website, please familiarise yourself with the following data protection declaration, which we use to inform you as a user of our website about the type, scope and purpose of the collection and use of personal data.
If you wish to enter into a contract with us by e-mail, you can encrypt your message or any attachments with our public PGP key.
BASICS
We take your data protection very seriously and of course treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory provisions. As we are constantly developing our website, we recommend that you review this privacy statement at regular intervals.
Data protection within the European Union is regulated under EU Regulation 2016/679 of 27 April 2016, the so-called General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
The data protection officer appointed by KLUNKER IP in accordance with Section 4 GDPR can be reached at privacy@klunker-ip.com.
Definitions of important legal terms, such as “personal data”, “data processing”, “pseudonymisation”, “order processing” or similar, can be found in Article 4 GDPR.
ACCESS DATA
As the operator of this website, KLUNKER IP collects data on access to this website on the basis of a legitimate interest (see Articel 6 (1) (f) GDPR) and stores this data as “server log files” on the website server. In this way, the following data is logged:
- Visited Website
- Time at the time of access
- Amount of data sent in bytes
- Source/reference from which you came to the page
- Browser used
- Operating system used
- IP address used
The server log files are stored for a maximum of 30 days and then deleted. The data is stored for security reasons, for example to clarify cases of misuse. If data have to be deleted for reasons of proof, they are excluded from deletion until the incident has been finally clarified.
COLLECTION, PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA
As a website operator, KLUNKER IP collects, uses and passes on your personal data only if this is permitted by law or if you consent to the collection of data.
Personal data is any information that can be used to identify you or be personally assigned to you, such as your name, e-mail address, telephone number, location data, online identifiers or other electronic data with identity characteristics.
You can also visit this website without providing any personal information. In order to improve our online services, however, we store your access data to this website (without personal reference). These access data include, for example, the file you requested or the name of your Internet provider. However, by anonymizing the data, it is not possible to draw conclusions about your person.
We only process personal data to the extent that it is generated by accessing this website in order to identify its popularity and any content of interest to users. Such access data, as specified in more detail under the heading “Access data” above, are aggregated and anonymised to access statistics and stored in compliance with the applicable data protection provisions.
DEALING WITH CONTACT DETAILS
If you establish a connection with KLUNKER IP as the operator of this website through the contact options offered, your details will be stored so that we can process or answer your enquiry. These data will not be passed on to third parties without your consent.
SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS
Our website contains links to Twitter and LinkedIn, which you can recognize by the respective logo. Unlike the use of corresponding plugins, the use of links does not establish direct connections between your browser and the servers of the relevant services and then transfer personal data to them.
Rather, personal data, for example your IP address, is only transmitted to the service when you click on the relevant link and thus leave our website and navigate to the link of the respective service.
For further information, please refer to Twitter’s privacy policy at https://twitter.com/privacy and LinkedIn’s privacy policy at https://www.linkedin.com/static?key=privacy_policy&trk=hb_ft_priv.
OPEN STREET MAP
This website uses a plugin from OpenStreetMap to visualize geographic information. OpenStreetMap is offered based on the Open Data Commons License (ODC) by the OpenStreetMap Foundation.

USER’S RIGHTS
As a user, you have the right to request free information about which personal data about you has been stored. You also have the right to have false data corrected and to have your personal data limited or deleted. If applicable, you may also exercise your right to data portability. If you believe that your data has been unlawfully processed, you can file a complaint with the appropriate regulatory authority.
DELETION OF DATA
Unless your request conflicts with a legal obligation to store data (e.g. data retention), you have a right to delete your data. Data stored by us will be deleted if they are no longer needed for their intended purpose and there are no legal retention periods.
If deletion cannot be carried out because the data is required for permissible legal purposes, data processing will be restricted. In this case, the data will be blocked and not processed for other purposes.
RIGHT OF OBJECTION
Users of this website may exercise their right of objection and object to the processing of their personal data at any time.
If you would like us to correct, block, delete or provide you with information about the personal data we have stored about you, or if you have any questions regarding the collection, processing or use of your personal data, or if you wish to revoke your consent, please contact the following e-mail address: privacy@klunker-ip.com.
