Privacy Notice

For us, data is the basis for providing you with an outstanding service. But our most important asset is your trust as a customer. Protecting customer data and only using it in a way that customers have come to expect from us is extremely important to us. That is why it goes without saying that complying with the terms of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is at the core of our business. It is also important to us that you know when and how we use your information and how it is stored.

What information do we collect and why?

Internet connection data / IP addresses:

IP addresses are required for troubleshooting, website administration and demographic information. When you visit our site we can only see the domain name of your provider, not your email address. The only way we see your email address is if you give it to us directly by filling out a form or sending us an email.

Collecting and processing non-personal data:

Every time a user accesses our website, in other words every time a user calls up or attempts to call up a file on this server, data is stored to a logfile. This data is not personal and we cannot tell which user called up which data. We also make no attempt to collect this information. Collecting general data and information

When you visit our website, general data is collected and is stored in logfiles on the provider's server. The following data is automatically collected:

Browser type and browser version
Operating system used
Referrer URL
Host name of the accessing computer
Time of server request
IP address (anonymised)

This data is not combined with other data sources to create a profile. No conclusions are drawn about the data subject. The information is used solely for security purposes, such as for tracking unauthorised access, for statistical analysis of the frequency with which our website is visited and to ensure that our website functions correctly. We do not pass on data to third countries.

Contact form

You alone decide whether or not to provide us with the requested information for a survey, for example. Knecht GmbH may use your information for inquiries, sending information material, processing orders or to improve our products and services. As such, we process the data you enter in the contact form on the basis of steps to be taken prior to entering into a contract and of our legitimate interest in answering your inquiry and sending you information about our products (GDPR Article 6(1)(b) and (f)). We do not pass on data to third countries.

Opt-out:

If you no longer wish to receive offers, emails or information material, you may withdraw your previous consent at any time. To do so, simply send us an email or tick the appropriate box on the form. Please use the appropriate contact form or send us an email.

Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. In case of activation of the IP anonymization, Google will truncate/anonymize the last octet of the IP address for Member States of the European Union as well as for other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases, the full IP address is sent to and shortened by Google servers in the USA. On behalf of the website provider Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website provider. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser. However, please note that if you do this, you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. Furthermore you can prevent Google’s collection and use of data (cookies and IP address) by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en-GB.

You can refuse the use of Google Analytics by clicking on the following link. An opt-out cookie will be set on the computer, which prevents the future collection of your data when visiting this website: Disable Google Analytics

Further information concerning the terms and conditions of use and data privacy can be found at http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/gb.html or at https://www.google.de/intl/en_uk/policies/.

Please note that on this website, Google Analytics code is supplemented by “anonymizeIp” to ensure an anonymized collection of IP addresses (so called IP-masking).

Social media

On our website you will find links to the external social network Facebook. These links are identified by the Facebook logo. If you click on these links while you are logged into your personal Facebook account, information about your visit to our website will be sent to Facebook and associated with your account. To prevent a link being established to these servers and your data being stored there, you must log out of your Facebook account before clicking one of the logos. For more information, please read Facebook's data policy ( https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/update?ref=old_policy). The website is operated by Facebook Inc, 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA.

YouTube

Our website uses plugins from the Google-operated website YouTube. The website is operated by YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. When you visit our website, a connection will be established to the YouTube servers and information about the pages you have visited will be sent to these servers. If you are logged onto YouTube with your personal account, your browsing behaviour may be associated with your personal profile. To prevent this from happening, you must log out of your personal account. We use YouTube to enhance our online offering. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of GDPR Article 6(1)(f). For more information about the way user data is handled, please read YouTube's privacy policy (https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy).
