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.

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.

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.

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.
