You have the right at any time to obtain information free of charge about the origin, recipients and purpose of your stored personal data. You also have the right to request the correction or deletion of this data. If you have given your consent to data processing, you may revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future. You also have the right, under certain circumstances, to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted. Furthermore, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.

You may contact us at any time if you have further questions about data protection.

We host the content of our website with the following provider: ALL-INKL.COM. The provider is ALL-INKL.COM, Hauptstraße 68, D-02742 Friedersdorf, Germany (hereinafter referred to as “ALL-INKL.COM”).

ALL-INKL.COM Privacy Information

The use of ALL-INKL.COM is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in ensuring that our website is displayed as reliably as possible. Where corresponding consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TTDSG, insofar as the consent covers the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s terminal device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG.

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 types of personal data are 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 is done.

Please note that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. communication by e-mail) may be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:

KAUTZ Starkstrom-Anlagen Luxembourg SARL

2, Rue de la Gare

L-6910 Roodt-sur-Syre, Luxembourg

Telephone: +352 28 56 121

E-Mail: info@kautz-lux.com

The controller is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g. names, e-mail addresses or similar information).

Unless a more specific storage period has been stated in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for processing the data no longer applies. If you submit 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 (e.g. retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, the data will be deleted once these reasons no longer apply.

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 pursuant to Art. 9(1) GDPR are processed.

In the event of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also based on Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR.

If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to access to information on your terminal device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), data processing is additionally based on Section 25(1) TTDSG. Consent may be revoked at any time.

If your data is required for the performance of a contract or for taking steps prior to entering into a contract, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

Furthermore, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR if this is necessary to comply with a legal obligation.

Data processing may also be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Information on the relevant legal basis applicable in each individual case is provided in the following sections of this privacy policy.

We have appointed a Data Protection Officer.

Dipl.-Ing., Betriebswirt VWA Bernhard Knauf

KAUTZ Starkstrom-Anlagen Luxembourg SARL

Telephone: +352 28 56 121

E-Mail: info@kautz-lux.com

We use, among other things, tools provided by companies based in third countries that do not provide an adequate level of data protection, as well as US-based tools whose providers are not certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these countries. Please note that a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU cannot be guaranteed in third countries that do not provide an adequate level of data protection.

Please note that the USA, as a secure third country, generally provides a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU. Data transfers to the USA are therefore permitted if the recipient is certified under the “EU-US Data Privacy Framework” (DPF) or has appropriate additional safeguards in place. Information on transfers to third countries, including the recipients of the data, can be found in this privacy policy.

As part of our business activities, we work with various external parties. In some cases, this also requires the transfer of personal data to these external parties.

We only disclose personal data to external parties if this is necessary for the performance of a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g. disclosure of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, or if another legal basis permits the disclosure of data.

When using processors, we only disclose our customers’ personal data on the basis of a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may revoke consent that you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of data processing carried out prior to the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

IF DATA PROCESSING IS CARRIED OUT ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY.

IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS THE PERSONAL DATA CONCERNED 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 DEFENCE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING.

IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL THEREAFTER NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(2) GDPR).

In the event of infringements 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, their place of work or the place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

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

Within the framework of the 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 the data processing. Where applicable, you also have the right to request the rectification or erasure of this data. You may contact us at any time if you have further questions regarding personal data.

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

- If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally require time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

- If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.

- If we no longer require your personal data, but you need it for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of processing instead of erasure.

- If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, your interests and ours must be weighed against each other. Until it has been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data – apart from being stored – may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries that you send to us as the website operator, this website uses SSL or TLS encryption.

You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of your browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser’s address bar.

If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

We hereby object to the use of contact details published as part of our legal notice obligations for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and informational materials.

The operators of this website expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited advertising being sent, for example in the form of spam e-mails.

Cookies: Our websites use so-called “cookies”. Cookies are small data packages and do not cause any damage to your device. They are stored on your device either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or they are automatically deleted by your web browser.

Cookies may originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable certain services provided by third-party companies to be integrated into websites (e.g. cookies for processing payment services).

Cookies perform various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies may be used to analyse user behaviour or for advertising purposes.

Cookies that are required to carry out electronic communication, to provide certain functions requested by you (e.g. the shopping cart function), or to optimise the website (e.g. cookies used to measure the web audience) (“necessary cookies”) are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimised provision of its services.

Where consent to the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TTDSG); consent may be revoked at any time.

You can configure your browser to inform you when cookies are set, to allow cookies only in individual cases, to exclude the acceptance of cookies in certain cases or in general, and to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are disabled, the functionality of this website may be restricted.

Information on which cookies and services are used on this website can be found in this privacy policy.

We use the consent tool “Real Cookie Banner” to manage the cookies and similar technologies (tracking pixels, web beacons, etc.) used on our website and the related consents. Details on how “Real Cookie Banner” works can be found here:

https://devowl.io/de/rcb/datenverarbeitung/

The legal bases for the processing of personal data in this context are Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR and Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in managing the cookies and similar technologies used and the related consents.

The provision of personal data is neither contractually required nor necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are not obliged to provide personal data. If you do not provide personal data, we will not be able to manage your consents.

The provider of this website automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These include:

- Browser type and browser version

- Operating system used

- Referrer URL

- Host name of the accessing computer

- Time of the server request

- IP address

This data is not combined with data from other sources.

The 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 optimisation of the website – for this purpose, server log files must be collected.

If you send us enquiries via the contact form, the information you provide in the enquiry form, including the contact details you enter there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing your enquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. We will not disclose this data without your consent.

This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your enquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for taking steps prior to entering into a contract. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively processing enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), if this has been requested; consent may be revoked at any time.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after your enquiry has been fully processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.

If you contact us by e-mail, telephone or fax, your enquiry, including all personal data arising from it (name, enquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We will not disclose this data without your consent.

This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your enquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for taking steps prior to entering into a contract. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively processing enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), if this has been requested; consent may be revoked at any time.

The data you send to us via contact enquiries will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been fully processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.

When accessing certain sub-services of our website, additional personal data is processed. The categories of data processed include technical connection data relating to server access (IP address, date, time, requested page, browser information) and data used to create usage statistics.

The purposes of processing are the delivery and provision of the website as well as the anonymisation and creation of statistics.

The legal basis for processing is your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and a legitimate interest that overrides the rights and freedoms of the data subjects (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

Data is transferred to the processor:

Sketchfab, Inc.

440 9th Ave, Suite 1700

New York, NY 10001

USA

This may also involve the transfer of personal data to a country outside the European Union. The transfer of data is based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) in conjunction with Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR.

Before giving your consent, you were informed that the USA may not provide a level of data protection equivalent to EU standards. In particular, US intelligence services may access your data without you being informed and without you being able to take legal action against such access.

Google Analytics

This website uses functions of the web analytics service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Analytics enables the website operator to analyse the behaviour of website visitors. The website operator receives various usage data, such as page views, time spent on the website, operating systems used and the user’s origin. This data is assigned to the respective user’s device. It is not assigned to a user ID.

Furthermore, Google Analytics may record your mouse and scrolling movements and clicks. Google Analytics also uses various modelling approaches to supplement the collected data sets and employs machine-learning technologies for data analysis.

Google Analytics uses technologies that enable users to be recognised for the purpose of analysing user behaviour (e.g. cookies or device fingerprinting). The information collected by Google about the use of this website is generally transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

The use of this service is based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TTDSG. Consent may be revoked at any time.

The transfer of data to the USA is based on the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses. Details can be found here:

https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/

The company is certified under the “EU-US Data Privacy Framework” (DPF). The DPF is an agreement between the European Union and the USA intended to ensure compliance with European data protection standards when data is processed in the USA. Every company certified under the DPF undertakes to comply with these data protection standards. Further information is available from the provider at:

https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/participant-search/participant-detail?contact=true&id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active

Google Analytics IP anonymisation is enabled. As a result, your IP address is truncated by Google within Member States of the European Union or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA.

Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity and provide the website operator 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.

You can prevent Google from collecting and processing your data by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at:

https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de

Data Processing Agreement

We have concluded a data processing agreement with Google and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.

This website uses the LinkedIn Insight Tag. The provider of this service is LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland.

Data Processing by the LinkedIn Insight Tag

With the help of the LinkedIn Insight Tag, we receive information about visitors to our website. If a website visitor is registered with LinkedIn, we can analyse, among other things, professional information about our website visitors (e.g. career level, company size, country, location, industry and job title), allowing us to better tailor our website to the respective target groups.

Furthermore, with the help of the LinkedIn Insight Tag, we can measure whether visitors to our website make a purchase or perform another action (conversion measurement). Conversion measurement can also be carried out across devices (e.g. from PC to tablet).

The LinkedIn Insight Tag also provides a retargeting function that enables us to display targeted advertising to visitors to our website outside of the website. According to LinkedIn, the individual recipient of the advertising is not identified.

LinkedIn itself also collects so-called log files (URL, referrer URL, IP address, device and browser characteristics, and time of access). IP addresses are truncated or, if they are used to reach LinkedIn members across devices, hashed (pseudonymised). LinkedIn deletes the direct identifiers of LinkedIn members after seven days. The remaining pseudonymised data is then deleted within 180 days.

The data collected by LinkedIn cannot be attributed by us as the website operator to specific individuals. LinkedIn will store the collected personal data of website visitors on its servers in the USA and use it for its own advertising purposes. Details can be found in LinkedIn’s privacy policy:

https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy#choices-oblig

Legal Basis

Where consent has been obtained, the above-mentioned service is used exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25 TTDSG. Consent may be revoked at any time.

Where no consent has been obtained, the service is used on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR; the website operator has a legitimate interest in effective advertising measures, including social media.

The transfer of data to the USA is based on the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses. Details can be found here:

https://www.linkedin.com/legal/l/dpa

and

https://www.linkedin.com/legal/l/eu-sccs

Objection to the Use of the LinkedIn Insight Tag

You can object to LinkedIn’s analysis of your usage behaviour and targeted advertising at:

https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/guest-controls/retargeting-opt-out

In addition, LinkedIn members can control the use of their personal data for advertising purposes in their account settings. To prevent data collected on our website from being linked by LinkedIn to your LinkedIn account, you must log out of your LinkedIn account before visiting our website.

Data Processing Agreement

We have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) for the use of the service mentioned above. This is a contract required under data protection law which ensures that the provider processes the personal data of our website visitors only in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.

YouTube with Enhanced Privacy
This website embeds videos from YouTube. The operator of the service is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

We use YouTube in enhanced privacy mode. According to YouTube, this mode means that YouTube does not store information about visitors to this website before they watch a video. However, the transfer of data to YouTube partners is not necessarily excluded by enhanced privacy mode. For example, YouTube establishes a connection to the Google DoubleClick network regardless of whether you watch a video.

As soon as you start a YouTube video on this website, a connection to YouTube’s servers is established. The YouTube server is informed which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you allow YouTube to associate your browsing behaviour directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

Furthermore, after starting a video, YouTube may store various cookies on your device or use comparable recognition technologies (e.g. device fingerprinting). In this way, YouTube may obtain information about visitors to this website. This information is used, among other things, to collect video statistics, improve user-friendliness and prevent fraud.

After a YouTube video has been started, further data processing operations may be triggered over which we have no control.

The use of YouTube is in the interest of presenting our online content in an appealing manner. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Where corresponding consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TTDSG, insofar as the consent covers the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s terminal device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. Consent may be revoked at any time.

Further information about data protection at YouTube can be found in its privacy policy at:

https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de

The company is certified under the “EU-US Data Privacy Framework” (DPF). The DPF is an agreement between the European Union and the USA intended to ensure compliance with European data protection standards when data is processed in the USA. Every company certified under the DPF undertakes to comply with these data protection standards.

We use online conference tools, among other means, to communicate with our customers. The specific tools we use are listed below. If you communicate with us via video or audio conference over the Internet, your personal data will be collected and processed by us and by the provider of the respective conference tool.

The conference tools collect all data that you provide or use in order to use the tools (e-mail address and/or your telephone number). Furthermore, the conference tools process the duration of the conference, the start and end time of participation in the conference, the number of participants and other “contextual information” related to the communication process (metadata).

In addition, the tool provider processes all technical data required for handling online communication. This includes, in particular, IP addresses, MAC addresses, device IDs, device type, operating system type and version, client version, camera type, microphone or speakers, and the type of connection.

If content is exchanged, uploaded or otherwise provided within the tool, this content is also stored on the servers of the tool providers. Such content includes, in particular, cloud recordings, chat/instant messages, voicemails, uploaded photos and videos, files, whiteboards and other information shared while using the service.

Please note that we do not have full control over the data processing operations of the tools used. Our options are largely determined by the corporate policies of the respective provider. Further information on data processing by the conference tools can be found in the privacy policies of the respective tools, which are listed below.

The conference tools are used to communicate with prospective or existing contractual partners or to provide certain services to our customers (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR).

Furthermore, the use of these tools serves to simplify and accelerate communication with us and our company in general (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

Where consent has been requested, the respective tools are used on the basis of this consent; consent may be revoked at any time with effect for the future.

Data collected directly by us via the video and conference tools will be deleted from our systems as soon as you request its deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Cookies stored on your device remain there until you delete them. Mandatory statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

We have no influence on the storage period of your data that is stored by the operators of the conference tools for their own purposes. For details, please contact the operators of the conference tools directly.

We use the following conference tools:

We use Microsoft Teams. The provider is Microsoft Ireland Operations Limited, One Microsoft Place, South County Business Park, Leopardstown, Dublin 18, Ireland.

Details on data processing can be found in the Microsoft Teams privacy policy:

The company is certified under the “EU-US Data Privacy Framework” (DPF). The DPF is an agreement between the European Union and the USA intended to ensure compliance with European data protection standards when data is processed in the USA. Every company certified under the DPF undertakes to comply with these data protection standards.

Handling of Applicant Data
We offer you the opportunity to apply to us (e.g. by e-mail, post or via an online application form). In the following, we inform you about the scope, purpose and use of your personal data collected as part of the application process.

We assure you that your data will be collected, processed and used in accordance with applicable data protection law and all other statutory provisions and that your data will be treated as strictly confidential.

If you submit an application to us, we process the associated personal data (e.g. contact and communication data, application documents, notes taken during job interviews, etc.) insofar as this is necessary to make a decision regarding the establishment of an employment relationship.

The legal basis for this is Section 26 BDSG under German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (general pre-contractual measures) and – if you have given your consent – Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Consent may be revoked at any time.

Within our company, your personal data will only be disclosed to persons involved in processing your application.

If your application is successful, the data you have submitted will be stored in our data processing systems on the basis of Section 26 BDSG and Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR for the purpose of carrying out the employment relationship.

If we are unable to offer you a position, you reject an offer of employment or withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you have submitted on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) for up to six months after the end of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application).

The data will then be deleted and physical application documents will be destroyed. The retention of this data serves in particular as evidence in the event of a legal dispute. If it becomes apparent that the data will still be required after the six-month period has expired (e.g. due to a pending or imminent legal dispute), the data will only be deleted once the purpose for further retention no longer applies.

Data may also be retained for a longer period if you have given your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) or if statutory retention obligations prevent deletion.
