KG (as operator of the website) and claus&friends (as maintainer of the website), thank you for your visit to our website and your interest in our company and our services. The protection of your privacy during processing is an important concern for us. Therefore, your personal data will only be processed in accordance with the provisions of German and European data protection law. We want you to feel safe when you visit our Internet pages.
Introduction
With this data protection declaration, we comply with our information obligations towards our visitors and users of these pages in accordance with Art. 13 of the EU Data Protection Basic Regulation (EU-DSGVO). The protection of personal data is of central importance to us. Personal data is individual information about personal or factual circumstances of a certain or determinable natural person. This includes information such as name, address, e-mail and telephone number. The legal basis for data protection can be found in the EU-DSGVO, the German Telemedia Act (TMG) and the EU ePrivacy Regulation.
Your rights in the area of data protection as a user of this website (rights of data subjects)
The data protection law sees you as the person affected by the collection of personal data that we initiate when you visit our website. Accordingly, the law provides for some rights of data subjects that you have as a user of this website. In detail these are the following rights:
You have the right to receive information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients and the purpose of data processing at any time and free of charge - without giving reasons. You also have the right to correct, amend, block or delete this data. You can also restrict the processing of your data and/or object to the processing (right of objection). You also have the right to data transferability in principle. If you have given us your consent to process your data, you can revoke this consent at any time. You also have the right of appeal to the supervisory authority according to Art. 77 EU-DSGVO.

However, as this management deals with many other topics, we recommend that you contact our data protection coordinators by e-mail (datenschutz@klingconsult.com).

Furthermore, Kling Consult International GmbH & Co. KG has appointed an external data protection coordinator. You can also contact him at: datenschutz@klingconsult.com.
We would like to point out that you can ask any of our employees about their data protection rights. However, it is a great relief for us if you contact our data protection coordinators (datenschutz@klingconsult.com) directly in case of data protection inquiries.

Recipients of personal data
If you provide us with personal data, the main recipients are the employees of Kling Consult International GmbH & Co. KG. Furthermore, it is possible that we commission other companies and individuals to perform tasks for us, e.g. services that you have requested from us by means of the contact form (for example, a printed product brochure). In this case, your data may be processed by the company commissioned by us for the purpose specified by you. For further details, please also refer to the section "Commitment of employees and external service providers" and "Cooperation with external service providers".
Transfer of personal data to a third country
We have no intention of transmitting personal data outside the scope of the EU-DSGVO. Since we occasionally obtain web services from Google (e.g. we use "fonts.gstatic.com" for the graphic design of the typefaces), depending on the browser settings, IP addresses and/or so-called "referral links" or online identifiers may be passed on. The combination of these data not initiated by us does not exclude the possibility that personal data may arise and be processed outside the scope of the EU-DSGVO. You can prevent the passing on of this data in your browser. For more information, please refer to the section "Use of Google Maps".
Storage period
Personal data that has been communicated to us via our website is only stored until the purpose for which it was entrusted to us has been fulfilled. As far as storage periods under commercial and tax law have to be observed, the storage period for certain data can be up to ten years.
Purpose of data collection
The use of our site is usually possible without providing personal data. For the use of individual services on our site, different regulations may apply, which in this case will be explained separately below and will inform you in particular about the type, scope and purpose of the collection, use and processing of personal data. Nevertheless, it applies that we only process personal data to the extent that this is necessary for the provision of a functioning website and our contents and services. Should personal data be collected, the purpose is the technical provision of our web presence, for information purposes and contractual purposes in the provision of services. Any use of your personal data is only for the purposes mentioned and to the extent necessary to achieve these purposes.
If you apply to us via the website, the purpose of data processing is the possible initiation of an employment relationship.
Legal basis of the data collection
Personal data may only be processed on the basis of a legal basis. If we process personal data within the framework of our web presence, then as a rule based on the protection of the legitimate interests of the person responsible in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f EU-DSGVO.
The safeguarding of the legitimate interests is a balancing of interests and includes both our interests as the company responsible for the processing and the interests of the users of our websites. We as a company would like to inform you about our company and its products and services. You as a user and possible customer, supplier, competitor, information seeker and/or applicant have an interest in obtaining information about us, our services and products in a technically accessible and convenient manner. Furthermore, we give our visitors the opportunity to contact us via the website. Accordingly, the processing is in the interest of both parties. At the same time, the processing of personal data is reduced to a minimum, so that we conclude that the protection of legitimate interests is the legally sufficient basis for processing.
Within the scope of the application procedure, we use the legal basis of the contract and the contract initiation (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b EU-DSGVO), in particular § 26 BDSG-neu (data processing for purposes of the employment relationship). You will find more details in the section "Applications".
In addition, we also make use of the legal basis of consent within the application procedure (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU-DSGVO). This consent is voluntary and serves the purpose of personnel recruitment and the transfer of your data to an internal talent pool. You will find more details in the section "Applications". You are free to decide whether or not you wish to grant consent. There are no negative consequences if you do not give your consent. You can also revoke your consent at any time, either in whole or in part, for the future. The lawfulness of the processing based on the consent remains in force until revoked. This means that despite the revocation of the consent, the processing will not become unlawful in the past.
Cookies
Our website uses so-called cookies, which serve to make our internet presence more user-friendly, more effective and safer - for example to speed up navigation on our website. In addition, cookies enable us to measure the frequency of page visits and the generic use of the web pages.
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer system. Cookies do not damage your computer and do not contain viruses. We would like to point out that some of these cookies are transferred from our server to your computer system, whereby these are usually so-called "session cookies". "Session cookies" are characterized by the fact that they are automatically deleted from your hard drive at the end of the browser session. Other cookies remain on your computer system and enable us to recognize your computer system during your next visit (so-called permanent cookies). Of course, you can refuse cookies at any time, provided your browser allows this. However, we would like to point out that in this case you will not be able to use all functions of our website to their full extent.
The help function in the menu bar of most web browsers explains how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have your browser inform you when you receive a new cookie or how to deactivate all cookies received.
Of course, you can also delete cookies later. The procedure depends on your browser and operating system. We ask you to research the procedure for subsequent deletion for your system yourself.

Every visit to the pages of this website is recorded and stored in the so-called server log files. These data are used exclusively for the technical analysis of server usage.
The following data is collected in concrete terms:

- transferred data volume
- Internet page from which you visit us (referrer URL)

Use of Google Web Services and Google Maps
This website uses the component "Google Maps" for the display of maps, operated by the company Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, hereinafter "Google".
Each time the "Google Maps" component is called up, Google sets a cookie (this is a so-called "third-party cookie") in order to process user settings and data when displaying the page on which the "Google Maps" component is integrated. This cookie from the third party provider "Google" is usually not deleted when the browser is closed, but expires after a certain time, unless you delete it manually beforehand.
If you do not agree with this processing of your data, there is the possibility to deactivate the service of "Google Maps" and thus prevent the transmission of data to Google. You have several options for this: You can install suitable browser extensions (such as uMatrix or Disconnect, as of 25.04.2018) and instruct them to prevent the transfer of data to Google. You can also disable the Java-Script function in your browser. We would like to point out, however, that in this case you will not be able to use "Google Maps" and possibly other parts of our website, or only to a limited extent.
The use of "Google Maps" and the information obtained via "Google Maps" is subject to the Google Terms of Use http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/terms/regional.html and the additional terms and conditions for "Google Maps" https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/help/terms_maps.html.
Like many other websites and service providers on the Internet, we use technical web services from Google. It can be assumed that Google collects and links the data that e.g. their cookies generate (such as online IDs and IP addresses). In combination with unique identifiers and other information received by Google servers, Google may also create profiles of users of this website and enhance existing profiles.
Google Analytics
We also use Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google"). Google Analytics also uses cookies that enable an analysis of your use of our websites and online services. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website and online services is transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored. We use Google Analytics with the extension "_anonymizeIp()", so that the IP addresses transferred to Google are first shortened and processed on servers located in Europe in order to exclude any direct personal reference. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your visit to the website, compiling reports on website activity for us and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. You can also prevent the installation of cookies for Google Analytics by adjusting your browser software settings; we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all of our functions to their full extent. The collection and storage of data for Google Analytics can be revoked at any time with effect for the future by a browser plug-in from Google.
If you visit our site via a mobile device (e.g. smartphone or tablet), you can use this link to object to the use of Google Analytics in the future. By activating the link, we set a cookie in your browser, which signals us to prevent the use of Google Analytics for your device. Please note that the objection must be made again by you if you remove the cookies in your browser.
Google-Apis
On our website, Google APIs of the company Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (hereinafter: Google). are used. This is a program interface provided by Google. Within the scope of use, data, such as in particular the IP address, can be transmitted to Google. You can prevent the collection and forwarding of personal data (in particular your IP address) to Google and the processing of this data by Google by deactivating the execution of JavaScript in your browser or by installing a tool such as 'NoScript'.
Google Tag Manager
This website uses the Google Tag Manager. This service allows website tags to be managed through an interface. The Google Tool Manager only implements tags. That means: no cookies are used and no personal data is collected. The Google Tool Manager triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. However, the Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If a deactivation has been made at domain or cookie level, it will remain for all tracking tags as long as they are implemented with the Google Tag Manager.

Use and passing on of personal data
If you instruct us to provide a service, your personal data will only be used to the extent necessary to carry out the order (e.g. to process requests for information or orders for brochures). This includes in particular the transfer of your data to transport companies, credit companies or other service providers used to provide the service or contract processing.
Your personal data will not be passed on beyond this, in particular not sold to third parties.
There are the following exceptions from this procedure: We disclose customer accounts and personal data about customers if we are legally obligated to do so or if such disclosure is necessary or central to protect our rights as well as the rights of our customers and those of third parties, e.g. in the event of attacks on our network infrastructure. This may include, for example, exchanging data with companies specializing in the prevention and minimization of misuse and credit card fraud and/or IT security. It is expressly clarified that in this context, no data will be passed on to these companies for commercial use that is in contradiction to this privacy policy.
Obligation of employees and external service providers
It goes without saying that our employees and the service companies we commission are obliged to maintain secrecy and to comply with the provisions of the EU-DSGVO.
Cooperation with external service providers
We commission other companies and individuals to perform tasks for us. Examples include parcel delivery, sending letters or e-mails, analyzing our databases, IT services, advertising, payment processing and customer service. These service providers have access to personal information needed to perform their functions. However, they may not use it for other purposes. Furthermore, they are obliged to treat the information in accordance with this data protection declaration and the EU-DSGVO.
If these subcontractors are processors in accordance with Art. 28 EU-DSGVO, we have concluded appropriate contracts with them in accordance with the law.
