8. General description of measures to ensure data security

KFOTO.de has taken technical and organizational measures to ensure the safety of personal data. For example, KFOTO.de uses only secured connections on the Internet, encrypts electronically-forwarded data and tunnel connections (VPN), and restricts the use of ports (through firewalls) for transmitting personal data. Privacy policy We are pleased that you have visited our website and we thank you for your interest in KFOTO.de. The protection of your privacy when using our website is an important concern for us. Therefore, as a user of our website, you will receive in this privacy statement all necessary information about how, to what extent, and for what purpose we or third parties collect and use data from you. The collection and use of your data is strictly according to the requirements of the European standard, the Federal Privacy Act (BDSG) and the Tele Media Act (TMG). We are particularly committed to the confidentiality of your personal data and therefore work strictly within the limits of the legal requirements. Our collection of these personal data is conducted on a voluntary basis. We also pass this data on to third parties only with your express consent. We ensure high security by using SSL encryption on the entire website. However, at this point, we do not want to miss out on the general dangers of Internet use, to which we have no influence. Especially in e-mail traffic, your data is not secure without undertaking further precautions and thus may be collected by third parties.

Scope

This privacy policy applies to the use of the website offered by KFOTO.de at the below address: https://www.kfoto.de This privacy policy does not apply to the websites of other service providers to which KFOTO.de merely refers to through a link. This privacy statement covers the following topics: • Personal data • Security measures • Cookies • External services • Opposition promotional emails • Information rights

Individual data

Personal data are pieces of information about the personal or factual circumstances of a certain or identifiable natural person. For example, your name, address, account, ID or phone number, license plate, email address, or IP number are considered personal information. On the other hand, non-personal data are such that it is impossible to determine to whom their actual identity refers to. This includes, for example, information about the gender with which you identify, which browser you use, or which car brand you prefer.

Anonymity

When using the website of KFOTO.de, you remain anonymous as long as you do not voluntarily provide us with personal data.

Other collection, processing, or use of personal data

We collect personal data in the context of data avoidance and data economy only to the extent that it is necessary for the use of our website, or is prescribed by the legislator. We take the protection of your personal data seriously and we strictly adhere to the relevant legal regulations and to this data protection declaration when collecting and processing personal data. If the purpose of the data collection is lost or the end of the statutory storage period is reached, the collected data will be blocked or deleted.

Purpose of the collection, processing, or use of personal data

We use the personal data provided by you exclusively for the purposes communicated or agreed upon.

Use of personal data

For your inquiries and requests, we need your personal data for proper processing. You are expressly alerted to this data collection. These mandatory data, the extent of which you can find in the contact form, are only required and processed for the organization of the associated work. It is not necessary to enter data as a voluntary label for the registration.

Disclosure, sale, or transfer of personal data to third parties

The transfer, sale, or other transmission of your personal data to third parties does not take place, unless this is necessary for the processing of the notified or agreed purposes or if you have expressly agreed. Withdrawal of consent At any time, you can object to the use of your personal data that has been consented for the future. Please contact Bernhard Graf to do so.

Security

KFOTO.de meets the technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal data from loss and misuse. Your data is saved in a secure operating environment that is not accessible to the public. Your personal data is encrypted during transmission by the so-called Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology. This means that communication between your computer and the KFOTO.de's servers is done using a recognized encryption method, which is considered safe in its current version. If your browser supports SSL, this function protects the transmission of personal data. In this case, most browsers will show you whether the security protocol is supported by displaying a short dialog box or an icon. You can find more information under the Help function of your browser. Should you wish to contact KFOTO.de by e-mail, we would like to point out that the confidentiality of the information provided is not guaranteed, as the content of e-mails can be viewed by third parties. We therefore recommend that you send us confidential information only by post.

Cookies

On the website of KFOTO.de, we use so-called “session cookies”, which store data for technical session control in the memory of your browser. This data is not personal and will be deleted at the latest with the closing of your browser. For Google Analytics, we also use permanent cookies. Cookies are small text files that are sent from our server to your browser and are stored temporarily on your hard drive. The cookies on this website do not contain any information about you, but assign a key figure (Session-ID) when you surf the Internet. These key figures help us to determine the number of users and the frequency of use, thus improving the usability of our website. You can, of course, delete all cookies from your hard drive at any time. You can also set your browser to notify you when cookies are being sent, or to disable the storage of cookies. However, we recommend that you permanently activate the cookies on this website, since without the acceptance of cookies, the use of the website and the offered services is limited.

Preventing cookies from being put down

Although cookies are only relevant to data protection laws, when personal data are stored in them, quite a few Internet users are skeptical about these small data packets. We would therefore like to point out that you can also protect yourself against the placing of cookies on your computer or view the contents of cookies. Current browsers provide you with various functions that you can use to get more information from the Help function of your browser. For example, simply set your Internet browser to block all cookies automatically or to warn you before a cookie is saved. You may object to the data collection and storage for the purpose of web analysis at any time with effect for the future:Meine-cookies.org/cookies_verwalten/praeferenzmanager-beta.html . However, we would point out that this may be a functional limitation in the use of the website of KFOTO.de as well as of the websites of other service providers that can be connected.

External Services

This page uses Web fonts provided by Google to provide a uniform representation of fonts. When you call a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache to display text and fonts correctly. For this purpose, the browser you are using must connect to the Google servers. This makes Google aware that our website has been accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Web fonts is in the interest of a uniform and appealing presentation of our online offers. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6 (1) lit. F DSGVO. If your browser does not support Web fonts, a standard font is used by your computer.

Opposition promotional emails

Within the scope of the legal imprint obligation, we must publish our contact data. These are used in part by third parties to send unwanted advertisements and information. We hereby object to any unauthorised sending of advertising material of any kind. We also expressly reserve the right to take legal action against unwanted and unsolicited sending of promotional material. This applies in particular to so-called spam e-mails, spam letters, and spam faxes. We would point out that the unauthorized transmission of advertising material may affect both competition law, civil law, and criminal offenses. Spam emails and spam faxes can especially lead to high claims for damages if you disrupt business operations by trapping mailboxes or faxes.

Right to information

You have the right to receive free information about your stored data and, if applicable, a right to correct, block, or delete this data. If you have further questions regarding the collection, processing, or use of your personal data, please contact Bernhard Graf.

Modification and deletion of personal data If you wish to have your personal data changed or deleted, please contact KFOTO.de. In principle, your personal data will be deleted from our records as soon as the purpose for which we originally saved your data has been reached. However, we would like to point out that we may not yet be able to delete your data due to statutory retention and accounting obligations. In this case, however, you have a right to block the data.
