Privacy Policy
KNAPP Smart Solutions GmbH takes the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy. This privacy policy and the following data protection information in accordance with Article 13 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is aimed at our business partners such as customers, interested parties and suppliers as well as visitors to our website and the associated offers and information.
The use of our website is generally possible without providing any personal data. The collection of personal data (e.g. name, address or email address) on our website is always done on a voluntary basis whenever possible. We process the personal data of our business partners or visitors only on the basis of consent pursuant to Article 6 para 1 lit a of the GDPR if the processing of personal data is not already justified by another purpose. In addition, we request consent if, for example, information is to be provided about our company’s products, services or events as part of information campaigns and there is no basis for safeguarding legitimate interests. We also request your consent if, for example, your participation is desired in the context of surveys, market surveys, etc. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent.
- We process personal data according to Article 6 para 1 lit f of the GDPR to protect legitimate interests only if the conditions described in Article 6 para 1 lit f are met. In this case, our interests in processing your personal data or the interests of a third party (in individual cases) override your rights as a data subject.
- Furthermore, we process your data in accordance with Article 6 para 1 lit f of the GDPR insofar as this is necessary and permissible within the scope of our legitimate interest. This also applies, for example, if no prior consent has been obtained for direct advertising, including invitations, product information or comparable information. In this case we base such measures on Article 6 para 1 lit f of the GDPR if legal requirements are met.
- If necessary, we process your data to comply with any legal requirements for documentation on the basis of Article 6 para 1 lit c of the GDPR.
- The collection of personal data refers solely to data that is either required by law or required for contractual fulfilment or that is provided to us voluntarily on the basis of consent. All data that we require that is collected on our website is labelled accordingly; the disclosure of any additional information is voluntary and has no negative consequences whatsoever. Please note that failure to provide further information may affect communication in individual cases and may make communication more difficult or delay it.
Data processing on the basis of consent
- If consent has been given for information about our company’s products, services or events (seminars, webinars, etc.) or possible disclosure to third parties (e.g. other companies in the KNAPP group), processing is carried out on the basis of Article 6 para 1 lit a of the GDPR.
- You can revoke your consent at any time without specifying a reason; your consent has no influence on the legality of previous processing.
Use of TLS/SSL
- By using the TLS protocol (Transport Layer Security, formerly SSL = Secure Socket Layer), we ensure secure data transmission between the user and our services. By encrypting data using TLS, the data is protected against unauthorized access. However, the use of this technology only possible if you are using the default technical settings.
We would like to note that data transmission over the internet (e.g. communication by email) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.
