  1. Introduction and terms
  2. GENERAL

    By operating our website with the URL https://kontornewmedia.com/ (hereinafter referred to as “website”), we process personal data. We treat this data confidentially and process it in accordance with the applicable laws – in particular the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG). With these data protection provisions, we want to inform you about which personal data we collect from you, for what purposes and on what legal basis we use it and, if applicable, to whom we disclose it. Furthermore, we will explain to you which rights you are entitled to in order to protect and enforce your data protection.

  3. DEFINTIONS

    Our data protection regulations contain technical terms that are in the GDPR and the BDSG. For your better understanding, we would like to explain these terms in simple terms in advance:

2.1 Personal data
“Personal data” is all information relating to an identified or identifiable person (Art. 4 Par. 1 of the GDPR). Details of an identified person could be their name or e-mail address. However, data can also be described as personal if, despite the fact that a person’s identity cannot be deduced directly from the data, their identity can nonetheless be deduced by combining the data with other information.
A person could, for example, be identified via their address or bank details, date of birth, username, IP address or location details. The key point is that any information that can be used in any way to identify a person can be described as personal data.

2.2 Processing
Under Art. 4 Par. 2 of the GDPR, “processing” describes any process applied to personal data. This especially includes the collection, capture, administration, classification, recording, amendment, printing, making available, use, disclosure, sharing, dissemination, provision, comparison, linking, restriction, erasure or destruction of personal data.

Your data will only be processed by us and will not be sold, lent or passed on to third parties. If we use the help of external service providers to process your personal data, this is done within the framework of so-called order processing, in which we as the client are authorised to issue instructions to our contractors. We use external service providers for the hosting of our website. We host our website with the external hosting provider Raidboxes GmbH (address: Friedrich-Ebert-Straße 7, 48153 Münster, Germany) at the data centre location in Falkenstein, Germany. If further external service providers are used for individual processing operations listed in section IV, they will be named there. As a matter of principle, we do not transfer data to third countries and do not plan to do so. We will provide information on exceptions to this principle in the processing operations described below. Any data transfer to third countries will then take place on the basis of the so-called EU standard contractual clauses (SCC).

  1. COOKIES

6.1 Description of processing
Our website uses cookies. Cookies are small text files that are stored on the user’s end device when a website is visited. Cookies contain information that enables the recognition of a terminal device and possibly certain functions of a website. We distinguish between our own cookies and external, so-called third-party cookies. So-called “session cookies” and “persistent cookies” are used on our site. “Session cookies” are automatically deleted when you end your internet session and close your browser. Persistent cookies remain stored on your end device for a longer period of time. If cookies are technically necessary for the operation of our site, your consent is not required. All other cookies that are not technically necessary are only set after you have actively consented to the use of cookies via our Consent Tool. We use the “Cookie Notice & Compliance for GDPR / CCPA” service to obtain and document consent. The Consent Tool itself saves your selection in a cookie on your end device. This means that you do not need to make a decision about cookies again on a subsequent visit to our website. You can find out which cookies are used on our website for which purpose, how long they are stored on your end device and which consents you may have already declared in the settings of the ConsentTools Cookie Notice & Compliance for GDPR / CCPA.

6.2 Purpose
We use cookies to make our website more user-friendly and to offer the functions described in section 6.1.

6.3 Legal basis
The processing is necessary with regard to technically required cookies, as well as the use of the Consent Tool to protect the overriding legitimate interests of the controller (Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR). Our legitimate interest lies in the purpose named in section 6.2. With regard to the processing of all other – i.e. non-technically necessary – cookies, the legal basis is consent (Art. 6 (1) a GDPR). Such consent is voluntary.

6.4 Storage period, revocation of consent
Cookies are automatically deleted at the end of a session or at the end of the specified storage period. Since cookies are stored on your terminal device, you as a user have full control over the use of cookies. By changing the settings in your internet browser, you can deactivate or restrict the transfer of cookies. Cookies that have already been stored can be deleted. This can also be done automatically. If cookies for our website are deactivated, deleted or restricted, it may be that individual functions of our website cannot be used or can only be used to a limited extent. You can revoke any consent you may have given for the use of cookies at any time in the settings of the Cookie Notice & Compliance for GDPR / CCPA consent tool with effect for the future.

6.5 Recipients and transfer to third countries
When third-party cookies are used, data may be transmitted to the corresponding providers of these third-party services. Under certain circumstances, data may also be transferred to third countries outside the European Union or the European Economic Area.
