This information (server log files) includes, for example, the type of browser, the operating system used, the domain name of your internet service provider, your IP address and similar information. This is all information that doesn't allow any conclusions to be drawn about you personally. It is processed for the following purposes.

The data recipients are internal employees and, where applicable, contractors for the operation and maintenance of our website.

Categories of data: IP address data

The data is deleted when it is no longer required for collection. This is generally the case for data used to provide the website at the end of the session.

You may notify us of your withdrawal at any time using the contact information provided at the beginning of this Privacy Policy.

V Legal basis for the processing of personal data

In accordance with Art. 13 GDPR, we inform you about the legal basis of our data processing. If the legal basis is not specified in the privacy notice, the following applies:

The legal basis for obtaining consent is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) in conjunction with Art. 7 GDPR. The legal basis for the processing of the fulfilment of our services and the implementation of contractual measures as well as the answering of inquiries is Art. 6 par. 1 lit. b) GDPR. The legal basis for processing the fulfillment of our legal obligations is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c) GDPR. If the processing of your data is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the former interest, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing. If the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

VI Data deletion and retention period

We adhere to the principles of data minimization in accordance with Art. 5 para. 1 lit. c) GDPR and the limitation of storage periods in accordance with Art. 5 para. 1 lit. e) GDPR. We only store your personal data for as long as is necessary to achieve the purposes stated here or for as long as is required by the statutory retention periods. Once the purpose for which the data was collected has ceased to exist, or once these retention periods have expired, the data will be deleted as soon as possible.

VII external links

This website may contain links to third-party websites or other websites for which we are not responsible. If you follow a link to a website for which we are not responsible, please note that these websites have their own privacy policies. We accept no responsibility or liability for these third-party websites and their privacy policies. You should therefore check whether you agree with their privacy policies before using them.

You can recognize external links either by the fact that they are displayed in a different color to the rest of the text or by the fact that they are underlined. Your cursor will show you external links when you move it over such a link. Only when you click on an external link will your personal data be transferred to the destination of the link. In particular, the operator of the other website will receive your IP address, the time at which you clicked on the link, the page on which you clicked on the link, and other information that you can find in the privacy policy of the respective provider.

Please also note that some links may take you outside the European Economic Area. This could give foreign authorities access to your information. You may not have any legal recourse against such access. If you do not want your personal data to be transferred to the destination of the link or even to be subject to unwanted access by foreign authorities, please do not click on any links.

VIII Your rights as a data subject

If you process personal data as a user, you are considered a data subject by the GDPR. Data subjects are entitled to the following rights vis-à-vis the controller:

This may include IP addresses, contact requests, meta and communication data, contract data, contact data, names, website accesses, and any other data generated via a website.

The hoster is used for the purpose of fulfilling the contract with our potential and existing customers (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR) and in the interest of a secure, fast, and efficient provision of our online offer by a professional provider (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).

XI Use of local storage items, session storage items and cookies

Our website uses local storage, session storage, and/or cookies. Local storage is a mechanism that allows data to be stored within the browser on your device. This data typically includes user preferences, such as a website's day or night mode, and is retained until you manually clear the data. Session storage is very similar to local storage, except that it lasts only for the current session until you close the current tab. Session data is then deleted from your device. Cookies are information that a web server (server that provides web content) stores on your device to identify it. They are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) and deleted at the end of your visit to a website, or stored permanently (persistent cookies) on your device until you delete them or your web browser automatically deletes them.

These objects may also be stored on your device by third-party companies when you visit our website (third-party cookies). This enables us, as the operator, and you, as a visitor to this website, to use certain third-party services that are installed on this website. Examples include the processing of payment services or the display of videos.

These mechanisms can be used in a variety of ways. They can improve the functionality of a website, control shopping basket functions, increase the security and convenience of website use, and perform analysis of visitor flows and behavior. Depending on the functions they perform, they may need to be categorized under data protection law. If they are necessary for the operation of the website and are intended to provide certain functions (shopping basket function) or serve to optimize the website (e.g. cookies to measure visitor behavior), they are used on the basis of Art. 6 par. 1 lit. f) GDPR. As the website operator, we have a legitimate interest in the storage of local storage items, session storage items, and cookies for the technically faultless and optimized provision of our services. In all other cases, local storage items, session storage items, and cookies are only stored with your express consent (Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR).

If local storage items, session storage, or cookies are used by third parties or for analysis purposes, we will inform you separately in this privacy notice. Your consent will be requested and may be revoked at any time.

XII External services

Our website uses external services. External services are third-party services used on our website. This may be for various reasons, such as embedding videos or website security. When these services are used, personal information will also be shared with the respective providers of these external services. If we do not have a legitimate interest in using these services, we will obtain your consent as a visitor to our website, which is revocable at any time, before using them (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR).

XIII Consent Management

In order to comply with data protection requirements, we use a consent management tool on our website. This tool allows us to obtain the necessary consent to set cookies or use external services. The consent are stored.
The processing is necessary for the fulfillment of a legal obligation to which the controller (website operator) is subject. The legal basis for the processing is therefore Art. 6 (1) c) GDPR.

XIII.1 Cookie Hint

We use the Cookie Hint service on our website. This service is provided by reDim GmbH, Nußallee 7 F, 63450 Hanau, Germany.
As this service is hosted locally on the web server, no data is transmitted to third parties.

XIV SSL-Encryption

This site uses SSL encryption for security purposes. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address bar of your browser changes from "http://" to "://" and by the lock symbol in your browser bar.

XV privacy notice

We base this processing on a legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR).
This service helps us to keep our privacy information up to date and compliant with the law. We therefore rely on the legitimate interest legal basis.

XVI Contact Form

The information you provide will be stored for individual communication with you. For this purpose, it is necessary to provide a valid e-mail address. This will be used to allocate your request and to reply to it. The provision of further information is optional. Data processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR).

The processing of data entered in the contact form is based on a legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR). The purpose of the contact form is to enable you to contact us quickly.

XVII Use of embedded YouTube videos

We embed YouTube videos on our website. The operator of these plugins is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. When you visit a page with a YouTube plugin, a connection is made to the YouTube servers. YouTube is notified of the pages you visit. If you are logged in to your YouTube account, YouTube may associate your browsing behavior with you personally. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account first. When a YouTube video is started, the provider uses cookies to collect information about user behavior. For more information about the purpose and scope of the data collection and its processing by YouTube, please refer to the provider's privacy policy, where you will also find more information about your rights in this regard and how to set options to protect your privacy (https://policies.google.com/privacy).

The legal basis for the integration of YouTube and the associated data transfer to Google is your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR).

Categories of data:
Usage behavior for market research and marketing purposes
IP address

Recipients of the data are internal employees of the K+R Logistics GmbH and YouTube as a service provider.

Retention periods: If you have opted out of Google's advertising cookies, you will not receive such cookies when viewing YouTube videos. However, YouTube also stores non-personal usage information in other cookies. If you wish to prevent this, you will need to block the storage of cookies in your browser. For more information about YouTube's privacy practices, please see their privacy policy at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

Transfer to third countries:

Google processes your data in the United States. The United States is subject to an adequacy decision by the European Commission on the adequacy of protection for personal data under the EU-US Privacy Framework. Google has signed up for the EU-US Privacy Framework (https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/participant-search).
