As the protection of your personal data is very important to us, we strictly adhere to the statutory provisions as set forth in the Data Protection Act and the EU GDPR when collecting and processing your personal data.
In the following, we inform you in detail on the scope and purpose of our data processing as well as your rights as data subject. Therefore, please read our Data Protection Declaration thoroughly before you continue using our websites and provide your consent to data processing if applicable.
A. PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA WITHIN OUR WEBSITES
1. PERSONAL DATA
In general, you can use our website without disclosing any personal data. However, the use of individual services can be subject to deviating provisions which we point out to you separately.
Thus, regardless of the cookies described in detail hereinafter, we generally only collect and store such data which you provide to us yourself by entering them into our input screen or through any other active interaction with our website.
Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. For example, this includes your name, address, telephone number or your date of birth, but also your IP address or geolocation data which can allow for conclusions about your identity.
2. USE OF COOKIES
a. To the extent you use our website for informative purposes only, i.e. if you do not register for a service or otherwise provide us with information - e.g. in a contact form - we will only collect the personal data that your browser transmits to our server. So, if you wish to visit our website, we will collect the following data which is technically necessary for us to display our website to you and to ensure its stability and security in accordance with Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 point (f) EU GDPR:
- IP address
- date and time of the request
- time zone difference to the Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
- content of the request
- access status / http status code
- data volume transferred in each instance
- website from which the request originates
- browser used
- operating system and its interface
- language and version of the browser software
b. In addition to the abovementioned data, first and third-party cookies are stored on your computer when you use our website; these are small text files which are stored on your hard disk allocated to the browser used by you. The entity that places a cookie (here, this is performed by us and the third parties set forth below) receives certain information as a result. On the one hand, we need these cookies to recognise you as a user of the website and on the other hand, to be able to make the use of our services transparent. Finally, we use cookies for marketing purposes to analyse your use behaviour and to provide you with targeted advertising as applicable.
In general, you can differentiate between first-party cookies, third-party cookies and third-party requests.
- First-party cookies
First-party cookies are stored by us or our website itself in your browser to provide you with the best possible user experience. In particular, these are functional cookies such as shopping basket cookies.
- Third-party cookies
Third-party cookies are stored in your browser by a third-party provider. These are mostly tracking or marketing tools which, on the one hand, evaluate your user behaviour, and on the other hand, enable the third-party provider to recognise you on other websites you visit. In general, for example retargeted marketing is based upon the function of such cookies.
- Third-party requests
Third-party requests are all enquiries which you as website user make to third parties via our website - for example, if you interact with plugins of social networks or use the offer of a payment provider. In such case, no cookies are stored in your browser, but it cannot be excluded that personal data are sent to such third-party provider through such interaction. For this reason, we also provide you with detailed information in our Data Protection Declaration about the tools & applications used by us.
c. Our website(s) use(s) the following types of cookies the scope and functionality of which are explained in the following:- Transient cookies
Transient cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser. These include, in particular, session cookies. Such cookies store what is referred to as the “session ID”, with which various requests from your browser can be assigned to the shared session. This will allow your computer to be recognised if you return to our website. These session cookies are erased as soon as you log out or close your browser.
- Persistent cookies
Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a set period of time, which may differ depending on the cookie. However, you can delete the cookies yourself at any time via our browser settings.
d. You have the option to change your browser settings in a way in which you, for example, reject acceptance of third-party cookies or of all cookies. However, we have to notify you that in such case, you may not be able to use all functions of our website.
e. We also use cookies to be able to identify you when you visit our website again if you have an account with us - otherwise, you have to log on again for every visit.
3. COLLECTION AND PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA
Personal data exceeding the information stored by cookies will only be processed by us if you disclose them to us voluntarily, e.g. if you register with us, enter into a contractual relationship with us or otherwise contact us. This only affects contact data as well as information on the matters for which you approach us.
We use the personal data provided by you only to the extent this is required in the course of fulfilling the respective purpose of the processing (e.g. registration, distribution of newsletters, processing of orders, distribution of information material and advertising, processing of competitions, responses to questions, enabling access to certain information) and permissible by applicable law (in particular in accordance with Art. 6 EU GDPR) (for example distribution of advertising and information material to existing customers)
The purpose of the processing of your data is the operation of our website and targeted provision of company-specific information, including the presentation of the goods and services we offer (marketing). Any further use of your data only takes place to the extent you provided us with your prior and express consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future, as set forth in more detail below.
4. STORAGE DURATION
In general, we store data which you provided us only for customer support or for marketing and information purposes until expiry of three years after our last communication. However, we will erase your data before expiry of such period if you request this to the extent this is not prevented by applicable statutory provisions.
In the event of a contract initiation or conclusion, we will process your personal data after full contract processing until the expiry of the guarantee, warranty, limitation and statutory retention periods to which we are subject, and until conclusion of any legal disputes for which we need the data as legal evidence.
5. OUR ONLINE SERVICES
a. Newsletter
You can subscribe to our newsletter free of charge. This newsletter provides you with all current news and information on our companies as well as customised advertising at regular intervals. You need a valid e-mail address in order to be able to receive our newsletter.
We verify the e-mail address provided by you in our entry mask to ensure that you actually wish to receive newsletters. For this, we send you an e-mail to the e-mail address stated by you; you can confirm receipt thereof by clicking on a link contained therein. After confirmation of the e-mail, you are subscribed to our newsletter (double opt in).
When you first subscribe to the newsletter, we store, with your approval, your first name, last name, e-mail address, country, IP address, the date and the time of your registration and combine them with information about you already existing in the system for the purpose of improving our products as well as our services. This is performed for security reasons in case a third party misuses your e-mail address and subscribes to our newsletter without your knowledge. Further data is not collected and processed by us for the newsletter subscription; the data is solely used for marketing purposes.
To the extent you do not object thereto, we transfer your data within our group for the purpose of analyses as well as for the transfer of information for marketing purposes. Within the group of companies, your data which you provided to us for the receipt of newsletters will be compared with data which we may collect from other sources (e.g. upon purchase of goods or booking of services).
Disclosure of your data for newsletter subscription to third parties which do not belong to the group of companies does not take place. You can decide not to receive our newsletters at any time; the details on unsubscribing are set forth in the confirmation e-mail and in each newsletter.
b. Contact Forms
You can contact us using our contact form provided on our website. For this purpose, we store your form of address, last name, first name, street, postcode, country, e-mail, telephone number, fax, website as well as the data provided by you in this context such as product serial number, product name, product size, product colour, product season, registration date, date of purchase, distributor, price and invoice and combine them with information about you already existing in the system in order to improve our products as well as our services. We do not sell such data and do not disclose such data to third parties.
To the extent you consent thereto, we transfer your data within our group for the purpose of analyses as well as for the transfer of information for marketing purposes. Within the group of companies, the data which you provided to us for this will be compared with data which we may collect from other sources (e.g. upon purchase of goods or booking of services) in the course thereof.
c. Shop
You can purchase products via our webshop. For this, you have to create a user account. For this purpose, we store your form of address, last name, first name, street, postcode, country, e-mail, telephone number, fax, website as well as the data on the products purchased by you in this context and combine them, subject to your consent, with your personal information already existing in the system in order to improve our products as well as our services.
To the extent you consent thereto, we transfer your data within our group for the purpose of analyses as well as for the transfer of information for marketing purposes. Within the group of companies, your data which you provided to us for this will be compared with data which we may collect from other sources (e.g. upon purchase of goods or booking of services).
d. Competitions
K66 occasionally offer competitions on its website for customers and visitors in order to increase the attractiveness of the site and achieve more interactions with visitors. In order to participate in competitions, it is necessary to provide K66 with contact information (e.g. e-mail address, name or postal address) in order to be notified in the event of a win. If a competition is organised with a cooperation partner, K66 will of course disclose this on the competition page. K66 therefore processes the corresponding data for the purpose of initiating and processing the contractual relationship pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR (Competition Contract).
K66 will use the data provided by the person concerned in the context of a competition exclusively for its processing and not for marketing purposes. However, if the person concerned has given his/her explicit and voluntary consent to receive a newsletter or other marketing measures from K66 when registering for the competition, K66 will of course take this into account.
6. Tools and Applications Used
a. Google Tools
We use Google Analytics, a web analysis service by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Such service uses cookies the functionality of which was already explained in detail. The information generated by such cookies about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server and stored there.
Acting on our behalf, Google uses this information to assess your use of our website, to compile reports about the website activities and to perform other services connected to the use of the website and of the internet for the website operator. The IP address transferred by your browser in the context of Google Analytics will not be combined with any other data from Google.
By changing the settings of your browser software, you can prevent cookies needed by Google Analytics from being saved; however, as a consequence, you may not have full access to all the functions of this website. You may also prevent collection of the data created by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) as well as transmission and processing thereof by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the link below: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=dePrivacy PolicyPrivacy Policy
If you wish further information on the type, scope and purpose of the data collected by Google, we recommend that you read their data protection provisions. https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de
Google may process your data in the USA, and has agreed to comply with the EU-US Privacy Shield.
b. In addition, we also use the Google Adsense tool, an online advertising service by means of which advertising customised to your interests can be presented to you. With this tool, we pursue the interest to display to you advertising which might be of interest to you in order to make our website more interesting to you. For this purpose, statistical information about you is collected which is processed by our advertising partners which can be recognised by the note “Google Ads”.
If you visit our website, Google is informed that you accessed our website and sets a web beacon thereafter in order to store a cookie on your computer. The data mentioned under No. 4 of this Declaration will be transferred; we do not have any influence on the scope and duration of storage in the course of the processing of your data by Google. In the course thereof, your data will also be transferred to the USA and evaluated there. If you are logged on to your Google account, your data can be directly attributed to such account. If you do not wish your data to be attributed to your Google profile, you have to log out.
There are different ways for you to prevent installation of cookies of Google AdSense; in particular, you can reject the service when visiting our website or change your browser software settings accordingly.
c. We also use the services of Google Adwords in order to attract attention for our exciting offers and products by means of adverts on external websites. With this tool, we can also exactly determine inhowfar the individual marketing measures are proportionate to concrete campaigns. Thus, we pursue the interest to display to you customised advertising adapted to your interests and to achieve a fair calculation of marketing costs in this context.
The adverts shown to you are displayed by Google via so-called “Ad Servers”. For this purpose, we use Ad Server cookies which can be measured by certain parameters such as fading-in of the adverts or clicks by the users in order to determine the success of marketing campaigns. This works as follows: In cases in which you access our website via a Google ad, Google Adwords stores a cookie in your browser which usually ceases to be valid after 30 days. The purpose of this cookie is not to identify you personally but to store the unique cookie ID, the number of Ad Impressions per placement, the last impression (relevant for post view conversions) as well as opt-out information for analysis purposes.
We do not ourselves collect or process personal data in the course of the use of google Adwords; we only receive from Google statistical evaluations based upon which we can determine which of the marketing campaigns used by us are particularly successful.
In addition to the measures already described, you can prevent participation in such tracking process by deactivating cookies for conversion tracking; for this, you have to configure your browser such that cookies from the domain “www.googleadservices.com” are blocked or by permanent deactivation in your Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome browsers at the link www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin.
d. In addition, we use the Google Remarketing application, a process with which we would like to address you when you leave our website. In the course thereof, we can display to you our ads when you continue using the internet after the visit to our website. This takes place by means of cookies stored in your browser via which your use behaviour is collected and evaluated by Google when you visit different websites.
For example, Google can identify your previous visit to our website; however, according to Google, the personal data processed are anonymised in the course of remarketing.
e. Moreover, this website uses the DoubleClick by Google online marketing tool. DoubleClick uses cookies in order to display adverts relevant to users, to improve the reports on campaign performance or to avoid that a user sees the same ads repeatedly. Google determines via a cookie ID which ads are displayed via which browser and is thus able to prevent the ads from being displayed repeatedly. Furthermore, DoubleClick can capture so-called conversions with cookie IDs which have a reference to ad requests.
For example, this is the case if a user sees a DoubleClick ad and later on accesses the website of the advertiser with the same browser and purchases something there. According to Google, DoubleClick cookies do not contain any personal information.
In addition to the measures already described, you can prevent participation in such tracking process by deactivating cookies for conversion tracking; for this, you have to configure your browser such that cookies from the domain “www.googleadservices.com” are blocked or by permanent deactivation in your Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome browsers at the link www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin.
f. Furthermore, we use the services of Google Maps on our website. This allows us to show you interactive maps directly on the website and enables you to use the map function conveniently in order to find our location and to facilitate your journey.
When you visit our website, Google receives the information that you accessed the respective sub-page of our website and the data set forth under No. 2. This happens regardless of whether you are logged into a Google account or not. If you are logged into Google, your data will be associated directly with your account. If you do not agree with this, you have to log out from Google before using this service. Google will use your data for the purposes of advertising, market research and customisation of its website. You have the right to object to such use of your data; for this, you have to contact Google directly.
Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection is set forth in the privacy notice of Google which is available at http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy. Google may process your data in the USA, and has agreed to comply with the EU-US Privacy Shield.
g. Web Fonts by Adobe Typekit
For the uniform representation of fonts, this website uses so-called web fonts provided by Adobe Typekit. When accessing a website, your browser will load the necessary web fonts into your browser cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly.
For this purpose, the browser used by you must establish a connection to the Adobe Typekit servers. Thus, Adobe Typekit learns that our website was called by your IP address. Adobe Typekit web fonts are used to ensure uniform and appealing representation of our online offers. This is a legitimate interest in the sense of Art. 6(1) point (f) GDPR.
If your browser does not support web fonts, one of your computer's standard fonts will be used.
For more information regarding Adobe Typekit web fonts, please refer to https://typekit.com/ and the Adobe Typekit data privacy policy: https://www.adobe.com/de/privacy/policies/typekit.html
h. We use the “Custom Audiences” remarketing function provided by Facebook Inc. (“Facebook”). Thus, interest-based ads (“Facebook Ads”) can be displayed to the users of the website in the course of a visit to the Facebook social network or other websites also using the procedure. With this, we pursue the interest to display to you advertising which is be of interest to you in order to make our website more interesting to you.
Through this marketing tool, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to the Facebook server. We have no influence on the scope of such information disclosed in the course thereof and further use of the data by Facebook. If you are registered with Facebook, Facebook can attribute the visit to your profile - but even if you are not registered with and/or are not logged on to Facebook, there is the possibility that the provider finds out and stores your e-mail address. Further information on the data processing by Facebook is available at www.facebook.com/about/privacy
The “Facebook Custom Audiences” function can be rejected upon visiting our website as well as for users who are logged in at https://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=ads#_.
i. Finally, we use Shopify analytics: an all-in-one analysis and feedback tool which shows the online behaviour, sales reports and feedback of the visitors to our website. For this purpose, Shopify processes the following data: (Analytics, browser information, cookie data, date / time, demographic data, hardware / software type, internet service provider, interaction data, page accesses, serving domains), (IP address (EU PII), geographic data, clickstream data, device ID (EU PII)) and PII (EU IP address, EU unique device ID, amount spent, items viewed, items purchased).
More information on data protection at Shopify is set forth at https://www.shopify.com/legal/privacy/customers , this is a service provided by Shopify Ltd., 150 Elgin Street, 8th Floor, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada K2P 1L4.
j. Our website also includes links to other websites; these are provided for information purposes only. These websites are not under our control and are therefore not covered by the provisions of this Data Protection Declaration. However, if you activate a link, the operator of such website may collect data on you and process it in accordance with their data protection declaration which may deviate from our Declaration. Please always read the current data protection provisions applicable to the websites linked to from our website.
k. In addition, our website provides you with the option to interact with different social networks using links and plugins. These may include:

If you click on a link or a plugin of one of these social networks, such plugin or link will be activated and, as described, a connection to the respective server of such network will be established. We have no influence on the scope and content of the data which is transferred to the respective operator of such social network by clicking on the plugin.
If you wish to obtain information on the nature, scope and purpose of the data collected by the operators of such social networks, we recommend that you read the data protection provisions of the relevant social network.
B. PROCESSING OF DATA OF OUR CUSTOMERS, SUPPLIERS AND INTERESTED PARTIES FOR MARKETING PURPOSES
We use personal data of our customers and suppliers, e.g. contact persons, their contact details and marketing-specific information, not only for the purpose of contract processing and subject to statutory retention obligations (e.g.: accounting), but also for marketing and customer support purposes.
In addition, we collect personal data of interested parties (such as contact persons, their contact details and marketing-specific information) in the course of our acquisition and sales activities. On the internet, at trade fairs and other events, we are always looking for potential contractual partners and for this purpose maintain a marketing database in order to allow for targeted advertising regarding our products and services. We perform all of the activities set forth herein in our legitimate interest for marketing purposes in accordance with Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 point (f) EU-GDPR in connection with Recital 47 for the duration of three years after the end of a contractual relationship (customers & suppliers) or our first (fruitless) communication (interested parties), unless there is an explicit consent of the data subject for storage and use beyond such period.
For example, you can participate in our demo events and test our equipment in the course of our testing event free of charge. For this, you have to register with us in our rental software in the course of our testing event and create a user account therein.
For this purpose, we store your form of address, last name, first name, street, postcode, country, e-mail, telephone number, fax, website as well as the data on the products purchased by you in this context and combine them, subject to your consent, with your personal information already existing in the system in order to improve our products as well as our services. For this, we also obtain your consent so that, for example, our sales representatives inform you by e-mail after the event in order to receive your feedback on the event and your product experience. By participating in the texting event, you do not automatically subscribe to our newsletter, unless you expressly consent thereto in the course of the testing event.
If we do not collect the personal data for marketing purposes from the data subject, we inform the data subject about the source of their data during our first contact.
Where, in the course of an ongoing business relationship or due to an explicit request from an interested party, we are to provide products and services offered by other companies affiliated with us, we will provide such affiliated companies offering the products and services the particular data subject is interested in with personal data of the interested party due to our legitimate interest for marketing purposes.
We and each of the companies affiliated to us store data for marketing purposes and customer support analogously to the period as described in A.4.

External processors or other cooperation partners will only receive your data to the extent this is required for contract performance or if we have a legitimate interest therein; we will always point this out to you where applicable.
