As the body responsible for data protection law, EK Söllingen (hereinafter referred to as “provider”, “we” or “us”) uses this data protection declaration to explain the type, scope and purpose of the collection and use of data within this website and online offers.

Personal Data

According to § 3 I of the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG), personal data are individual details about personal or factual circumstances of a specific or identifiable natural person (data subject). Insofar as personal data (e.g. name, address or e-mail addresses) is collected on our website, this is always done on a voluntary basis as far as possible.

We collect, process and use the personal data of users only in compliance with the relevant data protection regulations. This means that your personal data will only be used with your consent if there is a legal permit. Unless otherwise stated in the following sections, no personal data is collected, processed or used when using our websites.

data when making contact

Personal data that you transmit to us for the purpose of contacting us or sending documents or similar to us will only be used for this purpose. This information is provided expressly on a voluntary basis and only with your consent. Insofar as this concerns information on communication channels (e.g. e-mail address, telephone number), you also agree that we may also contact you via this communication channel in order to answer your request. You can of course revoke your declarations of consent at any time for the future. Please get in touch with our contact person for data protection, whose contact details you will find below. The personal data will be deleted after the purpose has been fulfilled.

General Data Sharing

If you provide us with personal data, these will only be passed on to third parties if this is necessary for the execution of the contractual relationship or if another legal reason legitimizes this transfer. Your personal data will only be stored for as long as is necessary for the intended purpose of data collection or as required by statutory provisions such as retention periods.

Integration of third-party services and content

Content from third parties, such as videos from YouTube, map material from Google Maps or graphics from other websites are integrated within this online offer.

This always presupposes that the providers of this content (hereinafter referred to as “third-party providers”) perceive the IP address of the users. Because without the IP address, they could not send the content to the browser of the respective user. The IP address is therefore required for the display of this content.

We endeavor to only use content whose respective providers only use the IP address to deliver the content. However, we have no influence if the third-party providers save the IP address, for example for statistical purposes. Please refer to the relevant data protection notices of the respective third-party providers.

Access data/ server log files

We collect data about every access to the server (log files). The access data includes the name of the accessed website, date and time of access, amount of data transferred, notification of successful access, browser type and version, the user's operating system, referrer URL (the previously visited page) and the requesting provider. A personal reference cannot be made from this data as the IP address is not stored or made anonymous.

General statements about cookies

Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage to the website operator.
