A. General information on data protection
The data protection declaration includes information within the meaning of Art. 13 GDPR on data processing in the context of accessing our website and using the functions available on it.
Klotz GmbH is responsible for the processing of personal data. Further information can be found in our legal notice. You can reach us in data protection matters by e-mail at datenschutz@klotz.de.
When our websites are accessed, a log data record (server log files) is stored on our web server, which also includes the IP address. The data within these server log files are required, among other things, to correctly display the content of our websites and to ensure the secure operation of our IT infrastructure (Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR; Section 25 (2) TDDDG). The log files are deleted regularly and automatically. If you would like further information on this, please contact us at any time using the above contact details.
We use cookies on our websites. Details on the cookies used when using our website, their storage duration and information on how you can delete the data collected here can be found in the privacy settings. We differentiate between necessary cookies, which are required, for example, to provide the basic functions of the website. The legal basis for these cookies is Section 25 (2) No. 2 TDDDG. Cookies that enable us, among other things, to analyze website access and visits or to play out targeted marketing measures, on the other hand, require prior consent (the legal basis here is Section 25 (1) TDDDG). The same applies in the event that information stored on your end device (e.g. IP address) is accessed in any other way.
Our website and our app use various services and applications (collectively "tools") that are offered either by us or by third parties. These include, in particular, tools that use technologies to store or access information on the end device (e.g. cookies, web storage, JavaScript or pixels). Details on the tools, in particular the cookies used, can be found in the data protection settings. On the one hand, we differentiate between tools that are absolutely necessary, e.g. to provide the basic functions of the website or to provide an expressly requested service (the legal basis for the use of these tools is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 f) GDPR, or Section 25 para. 2 no. 2 TDDDG). On the other hand, we use tools that are not absolutely necessary and enable us, for example, to evaluate website views and visits or to play out targeted marketing measures. We require your prior consent for the use of these tools (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and Section 25 (1) TDDDG).
Our website uses a cookie consent management tool to manage and control any consent required for the storage or loading of certain tools. The associated data processing is necessary to provide you with the legally required consent management and to comply with our documentation obligations. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 c), f) GDPR, in particular due to our interest in fulfilling the legal requirements for consent management (Section 25 para. 2 no. 2 TDDDG). You can withdraw your consent for certain tools at any time. To do so, click on the data protection settings. There you can also change the selection of tools you wish to consent to the use of, as well as additional information on cookies and the respective storage period. Alternatively, you can assert your revocation for certain tools directly with the provider. If you have any questions about the provider or require further information, please feel free to contact us at any time using the contact details above.

On this website, we use the Google Tag Manager service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. This tool allows "website tags" (i.e. keywords that are integrated into HTML elements) to be implemented and managed via an interface. By using Google Tag Manager, we can automatically track which button, link or personalized image you have actively clicked on and can then record which content on our website is of particular interest to you. These processing operations are only carried out with your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 a) GDPR; Section 25 para. 1 TDDDG. Further information on Google Tag Manager and Google's privacy policy can be found at https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy
We use Google CDN to properly provide the content of our website. Google CDN is a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, which acts as a content delivery network (CDN) on our website. A CDN helps to make the content of our online offering, in particular files such as graphics or scripts, available more quickly with the help of regionally or internationally distributed servers. When you access this content, you establish a connection to the servers of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, whereby your IP address and possibly browser data such as your user agent are transmitted. This data is processed exclusively for the above-mentioned purposes and to maintain the security and functionality of Google CDN. The use of the Content Delivery Network is based on our legitimate interests, i.e. interest in the secure and efficient provision and optimization of our online offer in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 f) GDPR.
We intend to transfer personal data to third countries outside the European Economic Area, in particular the USA. The data transfer to the USA is carried out in accordance with Art. 45 para. 1 GDPR on the basis of the adequacy decision of the European Commission. The US companies involved and/or their US subcontractors are certified in accordance with the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (EU-U.S. DPF). Further information can be found in the privacy policy for Google CDN: https://policies.google.com/privacy.
We have integrated Google reCAPTCHA components on our website. Google reCAPTCHA is a service of Google Ireland Limited and enables us to distinguish whether a contact request comes from a natural person or is automated by means of a program. When you access this content, you establish a connection to the servers of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, whereby your IP address and possibly browser data such as your user agent are transmitted. Furthermore, Google reCAPTCHA records the time spent on the website and the user's mouse movements in order to distinguish between automated and human requests. This data is processed exclusively for the above-mentioned purposes and to maintain the security and functionality of Google reCAPTCHA. Google reCAPTCHA is used on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) a) GDPR and Section 25 (1) TDDDG. The data transfer to the USA is carried out in accordance with Art. 45 para. 1 GDPR on the basis of the adequacy decision of the European Commission. The US companies involved and/or their US subcontractors are certified in accordance with the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (EU-U.S. DPF). Further information can be found in the privacy policy for Google reCAPTCHA: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en-US.
We have integrated YouTube Video on our website. YouTube Video is a component of the video platform of YouTube, LLC, on which users can upload content, share it over the Internet and receive detailed statistics. YouTube Video enables us to integrate content from the platform into our website. YouTube Video uses cookies and other browser technologies to evaluate user behaviour, recognize users and create user profiles. This information is used, among other things, to analyze the activity of the content listened to and to create reports. If a user is registered with YouTube, LLC, YouTube Video can assign the videos played to the profile. When you access this content, you establish a connection to the servers of YouTube, LLC, Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4 Ireland, whereby your IP address and possibly browser data such as your user agent are transmitted. The service is used on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 a) GDPR and Section 25 para. 1 TDDDG. The specific storage period of the processed data cannot be influenced by us, but is determined by YouTube, LLC. Further information can be found in the privacy policy for YouTube Video: https://policies.google.com/privacy
Our website uses functions of CloudFlare. The provider is CloudFlare, Inc. 665 3rd St. #200, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA. CloudFlare also offers a globally distributed content delivery network with DNS. Technically, the transfer of information between your browser and our website is routed via the CloudFlare network. CloudFlare is thus able to analyze the data traffic between users and our websites, for example to detect and ward off attacks on our services (Art. 6 para. 1 f) GDPR; § 25 para. 2 no. 2 TDDDG). CloudFlare may also store cookies on your computer for optimization and analysis purposes. You can find more information about CloudFlare at: https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/
We offer a contact form on our website to answer users' questions and exchange information with them. We only process the inquiries and information sent to us in this context to process your inquiry and to contact you (Art. 6 para. 1 f) GDPR). We store your data for no longer than the duration of any resulting contractual relationship with you (Art. 6 (1) b) GDPR). The right to object to the processing beforehand or to request deletion naturally remains unaffected. If you would like further information on this, please contact us at any time.
For information on the type and scope of data processing in connection with our application portal, please refer to the "Careers" section.
We operate websites on online platforms and social networks in order to interact with potential or existing customers, to exchange information with interested parties and users, or to advertise offers and services. We operate our websites in so-called joint responsibility (under data protection law) with the providers. We process data that you share or publish directly via the online platforms and networks (e.g. via comment and chat functions) as the controller in order to interact with you in this regard or to exchange information with you. As part of this interaction, we may also receive statistical data on the use of our "channels and fan pages" from the platform operators. This includes, for example, information about interactions, likes, comments or summarized information and statistics (e.g. IP address; origin of followers) that help us to learn about interactions with our site. The legal basis for data processing in our area of responsibility is Art. 6 para. 1, sentence 1 f) GDPR.
However, the providers also process data under their own responsibility. We have no influence on data that is processed by the provider under its own responsibility in accordance with its own terms of use and data protection. We would like to point out that when you access the aforementioned providers, further data (e.g. from your usage and "surfing behavior") may be collected and possibly transmitted to the provider. Please also note that in the event of interaction via the aforementioned media, data may also be processed outside the European Union. Furthermore, user data is generally processed for market research and advertising purposes. For example, usage profiles can be created from the usage behavior and the resulting interests of the users. The usage profiles can in turn be used, for example, to place advertisements inside and outside the platforms that presumably correspond to the interests of the users. You can find more information on this in the data protection information of the respective providers. If we have personal data about you in connection with the use of the online platforms and networks, please address your concerns to us. If you also wish to assert rights against a specific provider, please contact the respective provider.
You can assert your rights regarding your processed personal data against us at any time using the contact details provided at the beginning. You have the following rights in particular:
