Privacy policy

We are very pleased about your interest in our company. Data protection is of a particularly high priority for the management of KESLA HYGIENE AG. The use of the Internet pages of the KESLA HYGIENE AG is possible without any indication of personal data. However, if a data subject wants to use special services of our enterprise via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. If processing of personal data is necessary and if there is no legal basis for such processing, we will generally obtain the consent of the data subject.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or phone number of a data subject shall always be in line with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to the KESLA HYGIENE AG. By means of this privacy policy, our company would like to inform the public about the type, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed of their rights by means of this privacy policy.

As the controller, the KESLA HYGIENE AG has implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can always be subject to security vulnerabilities, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by phone.

1. definitions of terms

The privacy policy of KESLA HYGIENE AG is based on the terms used by the European Parliament and the Council for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy should be easy to read and understand for the public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance.

We use the following terms, among others, in this privacy policy:

a) personal data

Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter "person concerned"). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

b) person concerned

Person concerned means any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data are processed by the controller.

c) processing

Processing means any operation or set of operations which is performed upon personal data, whether or not by automatic means, such as collection, recording, organisation, filing, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

d) restriction of processing

Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their future processing.

e) profiling

Profiling shall mean any automated processing of personal data which consists in using such personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects relating to that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or change of location.

f) pseudonymisation

Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific person concerned without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures which ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

g) person responsible or data controller (short: controller)

The person responsible or data controller is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the person responsible or the specific criteria for his or her designation may be provided for under Union or Member State law.

h) processor

Processor means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the person responsible.

i) recipient

A recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body to whom personal data are disclosed, whether or not a third party. However, public authorities that may receive personal data in the context of a specific investigative task under Union or Member State law shall not be considered as recipients.

j) third party

Third party means any natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and the persons authorised to process the personal data under the direct responsibility of the data controller or the processor.

k) consent

Consent is any freely given specific and informed indication of his or her wishes, in the form of a statement or other unambiguous affirmative act, by which the person concerned signifies his or her agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

2. Name and address of the person responsible for the processing

The person responsible within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation, other data protection laws applicable in the Member States of the European Union and other provisions of a data protection nature is:

KESLA HYGIENE AG

Germany

Phone: +49349469950

E-mail: info@kesla.de

Website: www.kesla.de

3. Cookies

The internet pages of KESLA HYGIENE AG use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system via an internet browser.

Numerous Internet pages and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string of characters by which Internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the websites and servers visited to distinguish the individual browser of the person concerned from other internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific internet browser can be recognised and identified via the unique cookie ID.

Through the use of cookies, the KESLA HYGIENE AG can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.

By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimised in the sense of the user. As already mentioned, cookies enable us to recognise the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter his or her access data each time he or she visits the website, because this is done by the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping basket in an online shop. The online shop remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping basket via a cookie.

The person concerned can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of an appropriate setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programmes. This is possible in all common internet browsers. If the person concerned deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.

4. Collection of general data and information

The website of the KESLA HYGIENE AG collects a series of general data and information every time a person concerned or automated system calls up the website. This general data and information is stored in the log files of the server. The following can be recorded

(1) browser types and versions used,

(2) the operating system used by the accessing system,

(3) the website from which an accessing system arrives at our website (so-called referrer),

(4) the sub-websites which are accessed via an accessing system on our website,

(6) an Internet protocol address (IP address),

(7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system and

(8) other similar data and information that serve to avert danger in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using these general data and information, the KESLA HYGIENE AG does not draw any conclusions about the person concerned. Rather, this information is required in order to

(1) to deliver the contents of our website correctly,

(2) optimise the content of our website and the advertising for it,

(3) to ensure the permanent functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website; and

(4) to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber attack. Therefore, the KESLA HYGIENE AG analyzes anonymously collected data and information on one hand, and on the other hand, with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security of our company, in order to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from any personal data provided by a person concerned.

5. Contact option via the website

Based on statutory provisions, the website of the KESLA HYGIENE AG contains information that enables a quick electronic contact to our company, as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the person responsible for processing by e-mail or by means of a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject will be stored automatically. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the person responsible for processing will be stored for the purposes of processing or contacting the data subject. No disclosure of such personal data to third parties will take place.

6. Routine erasure and blocking of personal data

The person responsible for the processing shall process and store personal data of the person concerned only for the period of time necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or where provided for by the European Directives and Regulations or other legislator in laws or regulations to which the person responsible for the processing is subject.

If the storage purpose ceases to apply or if a storage period prescribed by the European Directive and Regulation Maker or another competent legislator expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.

7. Rights of the person concerned

a) Right to confirmation

Every person concerned has the right, granted by the European Directive and Regulation, to obtain from the person responsible confirmation as to whether personal data concerning him or her are being processed. If a person concerned wishes to exercise this right of confirmation, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller.

b) Right of access

Any person concerned by the processing of personal data shall have the right granted by the European Directive and the Regulation to obtain at any time from the person responsible, free of charge, access to, and a copy of, the personal data concerning him or her that are stored. In addition, the European Directive and Regulation Body has granted the person concerned access to the following information:

the purposes of the processing
the categories of personal data processed
the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, in particular in the case of recipients in third countries or international organisations
if possible, the planned duration for which the personal data will be stored or, if this is not possible, the criteria for determining this duration
the existence of a right to obtain the rectification or erasure of personal data concerning him or her, or the restriction of processing by the person responsible, or a right to object to such processing
the existence of a right of appeal to a supervisory authority
if the personal data are not collected from the person concerned: Any available information on the origin of the data
the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, pursuant to Article 22(1) and (4) of the GDPR and - at least in these cases - meaningful information about the logic involved and the scope and intended effects of such processing for the person concerned

Furthermore, the person concerned has the right to be informed whether personal data have been transferred to a third country or to an international organisation. If this is the case, the person concerned also has the right to be informed of the appropriate safeguards in relation to the transfer. If a person concerned wishes to exercise this right of access, he or she may at any time contact an employee of the person responsible for processing.

Right of rectification

Any person concerned by the processing of personal data shall have the right granted by the European Directive and the Regulation to obtain the rectification without delay of inaccurate personal data relating to him or her. Furthermore, the person concerned has the right to request the completion of incomplete personal data, including by means of a supplementary declaration, taking into account the purposes of the processing. If a person concerned wishes to exercise this right of rectification, he or she may, at any time, contact an employee of the person responsible for processing.

d) Right to erasure (right to be forgotten)

Any person concerned by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European Directive and Regulation, to obtain from the person responsible the erasure without delay of personal data concerning him or her, where one of the following grounds applies and to the extent that processing is no longer necessary:

The personal data were collected or otherwise processed for purposes for which they are no longer necessary.
The person concerned withdraws the consent on which the processing was based pursuant to article 6 paragraph 1 sentence a of the GDPR or article 9 paragraph 2 sentence a of the GDPR and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
The person concerned objects to the processing pursuant to article 21 paragraph 1 of the GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the person concerned objects to the processing pursuant to article 21 paragraph 2 of the GDPR.
The personal data have been processed unlawfully.
The erasure of the personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the person responsible is subject.
The personal data have been collected in relation to information society services provided pursuant to article 8 paragraph 1 of the GDPR.

If one of the aforementioned reasons applies, and a person concerned wishes to arrange for the deletion of personal data stored by the KESLA HYGIENE AG, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller. The employee of KESLA HYGIENE AG will arrange for the deletion request to be complied with immediately. If the personal data was made public by the KESLA HYGIENE AG and our company is responsible pursuant to Art. 17 Para. 1 DS-GVO, KESLA HYGIENE AG shall implement reasonable measures, including technical measures, to compensate other data controllers for processing the personal data published, taking into account the available technology and the cost of implementation, in order to inform the person concerned that he or she has requested from those other data controllers the erasure of all links to the personal data or to copies or replications of the personal data, unless the processing is necessary. The employee of the KESLA HYGIENE AG will arrange the necessary in individual cases.

e) Right to restriction of processing

Any person concerned by the processing of personal data shall have the right, granted by the European Directive and the Regulation, to obtain from the person responsible the restriction of processing where one of the following conditions is met:

The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the person concerned, for a period enabling the person responsible to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
The processing is unlawful, the person concerned objects to the erasure of the personal data and requests instead the restriction of the use of the personal data.
The person responsible no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but the person concerned needs it for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims.
The person concerned has objected to the processing in accordance with article 21 paragraph 1 of the Data Protection Regulation, and it is not yet clear whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.

If one of the aforementioned conditions is met, and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of personal data stored by the KESLA HYGIENE AG, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the data controller. The employee of the KESLA HYGIENE AG will arrange the restriction of the processing.

(f) Right to data portability

Any person concerned by the processing of personal data shall have the right, granted by the European Directive and the Regulation, to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which have been provided by the person concerned to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. He or she shall also have the right to transmit such data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data have been provided, provided that the processing is based on consent pursuant to article 6 paragraph 1 sentence a of the GDPR or article 9 paragraph 2 sentence a of the GDPR or on a contract pursuant to article 6 paragraph1 sentence b of the GDPR and the processing is carried out by automated means, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller. Furthermore, when exercising the right to data portability pursuant to article 20 paragraph 1 of the GDPR, the person concerned has the right to obtain that the personal data be transferred directly from one person responsible to another person responsible, where technically feasible and provided that this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of other persons. In order to assert the right to data portability, the data subject may at any time contact any employee of the KESLA HYGIENE AG.

(g) Right to object

Any person concerned by the processing of personal data shall have the right granted by the European Directive and Regulation to object at any time, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning him or her carried out on the basis of article 6 paragraph 1 sentence e or f of the GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The KESLA HYGIENE AG shall no longer process the personal data in the event of the objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims. If the KESLA HYGIENE AG processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the person concerned has the right to object at any time to processing of personal data for such marketing. This also applies to the profiling, insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If the person concerned objects to KESLA HYGIENE AG to the processing for direct marketing purposes, KESLA HYGIENE AG will no longer process the personal data for these purposes. In addition, the data subject has the right, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, to object to processing of personal data concerning him or her which is carried out by the KESLA HYGIENE AG for scientific or historical research purposes, or for statistical purposes pursuant to article 89 paragraph 1 of the Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), unless such processing is necessary for the performance of a task which is in the public interest. In order to exercise the right to object, the person concerned may directly contact any employee of the KESLA HYGIENE AG or another employee. The person concerned is also free, in connection with the use of information society services, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to exercise his or her right to object by means of automated procedures using technical specifications.

h) Automated decisions in individual cases, including profiling.

Any person concerned by the processing of personal data shall have the right, granted by the European Directive and the Regulation, not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her or similarly significantly affects him or her, provided that the decision (1) is not necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the person concerned and the controller, or (2) is authorised by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and that such law lays down appropriate measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms as well as the legitimate interests of the person concerned, or (3) is made with the explicit consent of the person concerned. If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) it is made with the data subject's explicit consent, the KESLA HYGIENE AG shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, which include at least the right to obtain the intervention of a data subject on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and contest the decision. If the person concerned wishes to exercise the rights concerning automated decisions, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller.

i) Right to withdraw consent under data protection law

Any person concerned by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European Directive and Regulation to withdraw consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If the person concerned wishes to exercise the right to withdraw consent, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the person responsible for processing.

8. Data protection in applications and the application procedure

The person responsible for processing collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of managing the application procedure. The processing may also be carried out electronically. This is in particular the case when an applicant submits the relevant application documents to the person responsible for the processing by electronic means, for example by e-mail or via a web form available on the website. If the person responsible for the processing concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If the person responsible for the processing does not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents are automatically deleted two months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests of the person responsible for the processing conflict with such deletion. Other legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a duty to provide evidence in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (GETA).

9. Legal basis of the processing

Article 6 paragraph 1 sentence a GDPR serves as the legal basis for our company for processing operations in which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the person concerned is a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations that are necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of any other service or consideration, the processing shall be based on article 6 paragraph 1 sentence b GDPR. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of enquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation by which the processing of personal data becomes necessary, such as for the fulfilment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Article 6 paragraph 1 sentence c of the GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data might be necessary to protect the vital interests of the person concerned or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were to be injured on our premises and as a result his or her name, age, health insurance details or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. In this case, the processing would be based on Article 6 paragraph 1 sentence d GDPR.
Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Article 6 paragraph 1 sentence f GDPR. Processing operations which are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary for the protection of a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject are not overridden. Such processing operations are permitted to us in particular because they were specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, it took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the person concerned is a customer of the person responsible (recital 47, sentence 2 of the GDPR).

10. Legitimate interests in the processing pursued by the person responsible or a third party.

Where the processing of personal data is based on article 6 paragraph 1 sentence f of the GDPR, our legitimate interest is to carry out our business for the benefit of the welfare of all our employees and our shareholders.

11. Duration for which the personal data are stored

The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiry of the period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted if it is no longer required for the fulfilment or initiation of the contract.

12. Legal or contractual requirements to provide the personal data; necessity for the conclusion of the contract; obligation of the person concerned to provide the personal data; possible consequences of not providing the personal data

We would like to inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also result from contractual regulations (e.g. information on the contractual partner).
Sometimes, in order to conclude a contract, it may be necessary for a person concerned to provide us with personal data which subsequently have to be processed by us. For example, the person concerned is obliged to provide us with personal data when our company concludes a contract with him or her. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the person concerned could not be concluded.
Before the person concerned provides personal data, he or she must contact one of our employees. Our employee will inform the person concerned on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and what the consequences of not providing the personal data would be.

13. Existence of automated decision making

As a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision-making or profiling.
