WHAT WE USE YOUR DATA FOR

When you visit the website. When you access the website, access data is sent automatically and without your intervention from your browser to the server of our website. This is necessary to ensure a smooth connection of the website and a comfortable use of the website and to ensure and optimize the security and stability of the system. The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. f DS-GVO, whereby our legitimate interest arises from the need to present our website to you in a functional manner in accordance with your expectations. Contact requests via the website to KI Park. Insofar as we offer you the opportunity to contact us via a form provided on the website, it is necessary for you to provide your full name, title and e-mail address (contact details) in order to respond to your contact request. Any communication content will only be processed for the purpose of handling your request. The legal basis for data processing when contacting us is a legitimate interest according to Art. 6 (1) lit. f DS-GVO; our legitimate interest lies in answering and processing your request, for which the temporary storage of data is also necessary. Insofar as you contact us for the purpose of initiating a contract (e.g. questions about membership or application for membership), the legal basis is the implementation of pre-contractual measures pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. b DS-GVO. We regularly delete personal data that we collect from you in connection with a contact request as soon as your request has been finally processed. Further information on the storage period can be found below in the relevant section of this privacy notice. If you expressly agree to this before sending the contact request, we also store the data you provide beyond the contact request in order to be able to refer to previous conversations during the next contact. The legal basis for this is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a, 7 DS-GVO, which we obtain separately from you. You have the right to revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. For a promotional approach. Registration. We offer you the opportunity on the website to provide your contact information so that we can contact you in the future with information about current events, services and promotions of the KI Park (for example, in the form of a newsletter) advertising. Registration to receive advertising and information by e-mail is always carried out in a so-called double opt-in process. This means that after registration you will receive an e-mail asking you to confirm your registration. This request is necessary so that no one can register with other e-mail addresses. If the promotional approach is made by e-mail (normal case), the legal basis for the data processing is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a, 7 DS-GVO, which we obtain separately from you. You have the right to revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future (e.g. via an unsubscribe link provided in every advertising email). Logging. The registrations to receive promotional speech (e.g. newsletter)are logged in order to be able to prove the registration process according to the legal requirements. This includes the storage of the registration and confirmation time as well as the IP address. The legal basis for the processing of access data for the purpose of logging is a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f DS-GVO, which arises from the need to properly document the declarations made and actions taken and to be able to prove them if necessary. Success measurement. In order to improve our advertising approach via e-mail and to be able to measure the success of the advertising communication, we collect personal data from you (access data, possibly also e-mail address) when you open, read and navigate to links contained in the e-mail. This analysis includes information that the newsletter was opened, when it was opened and which links were clicked. In addition, certain parameters regarding reading behavior, the retrieval location (determinable by means of the IP address) and the access time are collected and transmitted to us. By means of this information, we can better understand the reading habits of our users and adapt our content to them or send different content according to the interests of our users. The legal basis for the processing of data for the purpose of measuring success is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) a, 7 DS-GVO, which we obtain from you together with your consent to be addressed in advertising. You have the right to revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. Note: A separate revocation of consent to performance measurement is not possible for technical reasons. Storage period. Contact data that we collect from you for advertising purposes will be deleted as soon as you object to being contacted for advertising purposes by e-mail (e.g. via the unsubscribe link in a newsletter), provided that there are no further legal storage obligations to the contrary. Further information on the storage period can be found below in the relevant section of this privacy notice.

SPEICHERDAUER

Soweit in diesen Datenschutzhinweisen keine explizite Speicherdauer angegeben ist, werden Ihre personenbezogenen Daten gelöscht bzw. wird die Verarbeitung dieser Daten eingeschränkt, sobald sie für die oben genannten Zwecke nicht mehr erforderlich sind. Zudem speichern wir Ihre personenbezogenen Daten, soweit wir dazu gesetzlich verpflichtet sind.

RECIPIENTS OF PERSONAL DATA AND THIRD COUNTRY TRANSFERS

We work together with carefully selected service providers who support us in the operation of the website as well as in the dispatch of promotional addresses (e.g. via newsletter). We transmit your personal data to these service providers to the extent necessary for this purpose. If the legal requirements for this are met, we have concluded so-called order processing contracts with these service providers within the meaning of Art. 28 DSGVO. These contracts oblige the service providers, among other things, to process the personal data strictly in accordance with our instructions, in compliance with the requirements of data protection law, and to take all necessary measures to protect personal data. A transfer of your personal data to countries outside the European Union/European Economic Area does not take place.

NO PROFILING

We do not intend to use any personal data collected from you for any automated decision making process (including profiling).

RIGHT OF OBJECTION

You have the right to object to the processing of your data on grounds relating to your particular situation, insofar as we process it for our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f DS-GVO.

In the event of an objection, we will not further process your data unless this is necessary for overriding, compelling or legitimate reasons or for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims, in which case we must be able to prove these reasons.

If we process your data for direct marketing purposes on the basis of Art. 6 (1) f DS-GVO, you may object to this processing at any time without stating reasons; this also applies to profiling, insofar as it is related to direct marketing. If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, we will no longer use your personal data for these purposes.

If you wish to exercise your right to object, please contact us or our data protection officer. You can find the contact details in the “Data protection officer” section of this privacy notice.

YOUR RIGHTS OF DATA SUBJECTS

In addition, you have a right to information at any time in accordance with Art. 15 DS-GVO. In particular, you can request information about the purpose of the processing, the category of personal data, the categories of recipients to whom your data have been or will be disclosed, the intended retention period, the existence of a right to rectification, erasure, restriction of processing or the existence of a right to object, the origin of your data if they have not been collected from us, as well as the existence of an automated decision-making process, including profiling, and, if applicable, meaningful information about their details. As part of your right of access, you may request a copy of your personal data. Copies of data will generally be provided in electronic form unless you have indicated otherwise. The first copy will be provided to you free of charge, and a reasonable fee may be charged for additional copies. The provision is subject to the rights and freedoms of other persons who may be affected by the transmission of the data copy. Under the conditions of Art. 16 DS-GVO, you can immediately request the correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data stored by us. In addition, under the conditions of Art. 17 DS-GVO (“right to be forgotten”), you may in principle request the erasure of your personal data stored by us, unless the processing is necessary for the exercise of the right to freedom of expression and information, for compliance with a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest or for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims. Pursuant to Art. 18 DS-GVO, you may also request that the processing of your personal data be restricted if you dispute the accuracy of the personal data stored by us or if you have objected to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 DS-GVO. In this case, we must restrict the processing of your data for the duration of the review of your request. You can also request the restriction if the processing is unlawful and you object to the erasure of the personal data, or if you do not need your data stored by us for us, but for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims. Insofar as we process your personal data on the basis of consent or a contract with the help of automated processes, you have the right under Article 20 DS-GVO to receive the personal data concerned in a structured, common and machine-readable format or to have it transferred to another controller (“right to data portability”), insofar as this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of other persons. Please contact us or our data protection officer regarding your data subject rights. You can find the contact details in the “Data protection officer” section of this data protection notice.

RIGHT OF REVOCATION IN THE EVENT OF CONSENT BEING GRANTED

If you have given us consent for the processing of your data, you have the right to revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future.

Please contact us or our data protection officer regarding the revocation of consent. You can find the contact details in the “Data protection officer” section of this data protection notice.

RIGHT OF APPEAL TO A SUPERVISORY AUTHORITY
