Cookies

In addition to the aforementioned data, cookies are used on your computer when you use and visit our website.

Cookies are small text files that are stored by your browser on your end device to store certain information. Furthermore, these cookies are used to make the use of our offer more pleasant and convenient for you or for analytical purposes.

Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies”. They serve to make the services of our website technically available to you. After your visit, these cookies are automatically deleted from your browser.

Other cookies remain on your computer and enable us to recognize your end device on your next visit (so-called persistent or permanent cookies).

The next time you visit our website with the same device, the information stored in cookies is either read out by our website (“First Party Cookie”) or another website to which the cookie belongs (“Third Party Cookie”).

These cookies are automatically deleted from your system after a preset period of time, which differs depending on the cookie.

Through the stored and returned information, the respective website recognizes that you have already accessed and visited it with the browser of your end device.

We use this information to be able to optimally design and display the website according to your preferences. Only the cookie itself is identified on your end device.

Any further storage of personal data will only take place with your express consent or if this is absolutely necessary in order to be able to use the service offered and accessed by you accordingly.

This website uses the following types of cookies, the scope and functionality of which are explained below:

  • strictly necessary cookies
  • functional cookies
  • marketing/tracking Cookies

Strictly necessary cookies ensure functions without which you cannot use our websites as intended. These cookies are used exclusively by us and are used, for example, to ensure that you, as a registered user, always remain logged in when accessing various subpages of our website and do not have to re-enter your login data every time you call up a new page.

The use of absolutely necessary cookies on our website is possible without your consent.

Functional cookies enable our website to save information that has already been provided (e.g. registered name or language selection) and to offer you improved and more personal functions based on this. These cookies only collect and store information that is anonymous, so they cannot track your movements on other websites.

The legal basis for the use of these cookies is our legitimate interest in accordance with Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest results from the stated purposes.

You have the option of generally deactivating cookies in your browser at any time (see below).

However, if cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be restricted.

Marketing and/or tracking cookies are only set after your active consent.

The legal basis for data processing is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter a GDPR.

These cookies come from third parties (Third Party Cookies) and are used to collect information about the websites visited by the user in order to create target group-oriented advertising for the user.

Opt-out for Marketing Cookies

You can also manage cookies used for online advertising through the tools developed in many countries as part of self-regulatory programs, such as the US-based www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU-based “http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices”

You can revoke this consent to the cookies at any time with effect for the future here.

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and cookies only in individual cases, e.g. third-party cookies (cookies that are set by a third party, i.e. not by the actual website on which you are currently browsing are located), allow the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or generally exclude them, as well as activate the automatic deletion of cookies when the browser is closed. You can delete stored cookies at any time using your web browser.

Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

Management Cookies

You can use the following links to find out more about this option for the most commonly used browsers:

If you have not made or make any other settings, cookies that enable or are intended to ensure the necessary technical functions remain on your end device until you close the browser; other cookies can remain on your end device for longer (maximum 6 months).

To ensure your privacy, you should regularly check the cookies on your device and your browser history and delete them yourself.

SSL or TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses an SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data that you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties (end-to-end encryption). The protocols authenticate the communication partner and ensure the integrity of the transported data.

Contact options via form or by e-mail

On our website there is the possibility to contact us by e-mail and contact form. In this context, your personal data will be stored and processed for the purpose of communication. The data collected for this purpose (name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, IP address) will not be passed on to third parties.

A combination of the data with other data collected on this website does not take place.

The data may be stored as part of customer relations management (CRM) if you are already a customer of our company.

The contact form is sent encrypted using TLS technology. Encryption serves to prevent unauthorized access by third parties to your personal data.

The basis for data collection in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 GDPR is: your consent, if any (lit. a); if applicable, the processing of the information for the fulfillment of a contract or the initiation of a contract (lit. b), as well as the legitimate interest of our company in the communication initiated by you (lit. f).

The data will be deleted as soon as the purpose of the communication has been achieved.

Application

On our website you have the opportunity to apply for a job in our company or to send an unsolicited application.

You can use the specified email address for this.

If you apply to us, we process the information that we receive from you as part of the application process, through application letters, curriculum vitae, certificates, correspondence, telephone or oral information. In addition to your contact details, information about your education, your qualifications, your work experience and your skills is of particular relevance to us. We will only assess you on your suitability for the position, so you do not need to send us a photo.

In the case of an application by e-mail, the data transmission is generally unencrypted, unless your e-mail service provider supports transport encryption via Secure Socket Layer (SSL/TLS). If you wish, you can send us encrypted e-mails after prior agreement by telephone. Alternatively, you can send us your application data in encrypted and password-protected files (.zip or similar) and tell us the password for decryption by telephone or other means.

If we conclude 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 we do not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the data will be deleted 6 months after rejection.

In the event that you have agreed to longer storage of your application data, we will transfer your data to our applicant pool (§ 26 Para. 2 BDSG in conjunction with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a DSGVO). There, the data will be deleted after one year.

The purpose of data processing is to carry out an application process.

The legal basis for data processing in the application process and as part of the personnel file is Section 26 (1) sentence 1 BDSG and Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR and, if you have given your consent, for example by sending information that is not necessary for the application process, Article 6 paragraph 1 lit. a GDPR.

You have the option at any time to revoke your consent to the processing of personal data as part of the application process by sending us an email to datenschutz@kamat.de.

Legitimate interest in processing on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR is the defense against legal claims.
