Newsletter Subscription

Our web page gives you an opportunity to subscribe to our newsletter free of charge. During registration for the newsletter, your input data (name, e-mail address) is transmitted to us.

Our periodic newsletter informs subscribers, customers and business partners about our various offers. The newsletter is sent to you only if you (1) have a valid e-mail address, and if (2) you have requested it. For legal purposes, a confirmation e-mail with a double Opt-In process is sent to the e-mail address you provide us when requesting our newsletter. This confirmation e-mail is to verify ownership of the e-mail address authorizing receipt of our newsletter. 

When you subscribe to our newsletter, we further store your IP address, with the date and time of registration. Collection of this data is necessary for transparency reasons in the event of a potential fraudulent misuse of the e-mail address at a later time. This is for our own legal protection.
Personal data collected within the framework of registration for the newsletter is used only for sending the newsletter. Collection of any other personal data during registration is used to prevent the fraudulent use of this service or your e-mail address.

Additionally, subscribers may be informed via e-mail during the newsletter subscription or the registration for it, when there are updates to newsletter offers or to provide advance notice of upcoming engineering changes. Any personal data collected within the framework of our newsletter service is processed according to instructions by GTC Gutacker TeleCommunication GmbH, Zimmermannstr. 15, 70182 Stuttgart. Personal data collected from the newsletter service is not shared with third parties.

You may cancel your subscription to our newsletter at any time. Your approval to store your personal data that you provided us for subscription purposes can be revoked by you at any time.  Each newsletter provides a link for cancellation. In addition, it is possible to terminate your subscription to our newsletter directly by using our internet pages, or you may feel free to inform us by any other means.

The legal basis for the processing of data following subscription to a newsletter is the German Regulation: Art. 6, Par.1, lit. a DSGVO.

The data is deleted once it is no longer necessary for achieving the intended purpose of its collection. Your e-mail address is stored as long as your subscription to the newsletter remains active.
 

Establishing contact via internet page

Pursuant to legal requirements, our internet page includes information that allows rapid electronic connection to our company and direct communication with us by e-mail. If you contact us by e-mail or via our coded contact form, the personal data transmitted by you is automatically stored. Such voluntary personal data is stored solely for the purposes of processing your inquiry or for contacting you. No personal data is shared with third parties.

The legal basis for the processing of newsletter subscription data is the German Regulation: Art. 6, Par. 1, lit. f, or possibly lit. b DSGVO.

The data you have entered into our contact form will remain with us until you request us to delete it or until the purpose for the data has expired, (e.g., after the processing of your inquiry or sales contract is complete). Legal regulations such as mandatory retention periods remain unaffected.
 

Employment applications and application processes

We collect and process personal data from applicants for the sole purpose of processing the application. Processing can also occur electronically, especially when application documents  are transmitted via e-mail or via the form provided on our web page.

If we agree to an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data is stored for the purpose of processing the employment as specified by legal regulations. If there is no employment contract, the application documents will be deleted automatically 2 months after notification of rejection, provided said deletion is not counter to any other legally justifiable interests of our company. A legally justifiable interest in this context would be, for example, for providing proof of compliance with the General Equality Act (AGG). In this case, the application documents are stored for 6 months.

The legal basis for processing of application information is German Regulation: Art. 88 DSGVO in connection with § 26 BDSG.

Cookie Usage

Our internet page utilizes Google Analytics (with anonymous function). Google Analytics is a web analysis service of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

Google Analytics operates with text files that are stored in your unit (known as cookies). Data is collected about what internet page provided access to our internet page (known as referrer), which subpages were viewed, and how frequently and for how long our internet pages were viewed.

This data is automatically transmitted with each connection to a Google server in the USA and stored there. No data regarding you will be combined with other data already stored at Google.  However, Google may potentially share this collected personal data with third parties.Google uses this information on our behalf to provide us with an analysis of website usage, website activities, and other services. This helps us to optimize our website.

We use the masking function „anonymize IP“. Prior to transmitting your IP address to the Google servers in the USA, it will be abridged inside the EU. A transfer of the original IP address rarely occurs, and it is then abbreviated on servers in the USA.

Note on the processing of your data collected on this website in the USA by Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube: By agreeing to the use of these cookies, you also consent to your data being processed in the USA (Art. 49 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 lit. a GDPR).

In particular, there is a risk that your data may be processed by US authorities for control and monitoring purposes, possibly even without the possibility of redress.

You can prevent this process by taking the following measures:

  • Prevent the use of cookies by our internet page at any time by using a special setting on your internet browser, and thus the long-term prevention of cookies.
  • An already placed cookie can be deleted by Google Analytics via the internet browser or other software

Additional information and current data protection regulations at Google can be viewed at: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and under http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html. Google Analytics is explained in detail at: https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/

We have a legitimate interest in the use of Google Analytics which is in predominant use. There is minimal access via the anonymous page design and less interference into the right to personal privacy (see Art. 6, Par. 1, lit. f DSGVO).

Microsoft Teams

Purpose of data processing
Keller Lufttechnik utilizes Microsoft Teams to schedule conference calls, online meetings, video conferences and/or web conferences (hereinafter referred to as "online meetings"), among our employees (in their home offices or inside the company), or between them and third parties such as business partners, including customer care, manufacturer support and continuous improvement. Microsoft Teams is a service of Microsoft Corporation.

Responsibility
Keller Lufttechnik GmbH + Co. KG is responsible for data processing that is directly related to the systematic planning of online meetings.

Important note: Should you visit the Microsoft Teams website, the provider of Microsoft Teams is responsible for data processing. However, accessing the website is necessary only in order to download the software for using Microsoft Teams. In case one does not wish to or cannot access the Microsoft Teams app, one can also access Microsoft Teams by using one‘s browser. In this case, the service is also provided by the Microsoft Teams website.

Legal bases in general
If personal data is processed by employees of Keller Lufttechnik GmbH + Co. KG, § 26 BDSG is the legal basis for such data processing. If, in connection with using Microsoft Teams, personal data is not required for the establishment, performance or termination of employment, but is nevertheless a fundamental component of the use of Microsoft Teams, Art. 6, Par.1, letter f) DSGVO is the legal basis for such data processing. In these cases we are interested in the efficient performance of online meetings.

Furthermore, the legal basis for data processing during the conduct of online meetings is Art. 6, Par.1, letter b) DSGVO, provided the meetings are conducted within the context of existing contractual relationships.
If no contractual relationship exists, the legal basis is Art. 6, Par.1, letter f) DSGVO. Here too, we are interested in the productivity of online meetings.

Which data is processed?
When using Microsoft Teams, a variety of data is processed. The extent of the data depends on the information provided prior to or during participation in an online meeting.

The following personal data is subject to processing:
•    User details: e.g., displayed name, e-mail address (if applicable), profile photo (optional), preferred language
•    Meeting metadata: e.g., date, time, meeting ID, phone numbers, location
•    Text, audio and video data: You may be able to use the chat function during an online meeting. To this end, any text entries submitted will be processed in order to display them during the online meeting. To enable the presentation of videos and the playback of audio, the data from the microphone of the terminal device as well as from a connected video camera will be processed for the duration of the meeting. Users may opt to turn off the camera or mute the microphone themselves at any time by using the Microsoft Teams applications.

Scope of data processing
Keller Lufttechnik uses Microsoft teams to organize online meetings. If online meetings are to be recorded, this is communicated transparently in advance and, if necessary, consent is requested.

The chat content is logged when using Microsoft Teams. Files that users share during chats are stored in the OneDrive for Business account of the user who shared the file. Files that team members share in a channel are stored on the team's SharePoint site.

Automated decision making as defined by article 22 DSGVO is not used.

Recipient
Personal data processed in connection with participation in online meetings is generally not passed on to third parties, unless it is specifically intended to be so disclosed. Please note that content from online meetings, as well as personal meetings, is often used to communicate information with customers, interested parties or third parties and is, therefore, intended for disclosure.
Other recipients: The provider of Microsoft Teams necessarily obtains knowledge of the above-mentioned data to the extent that this is provided for in our contractual processing agreement with Microsoft Teams.

Data processing outside the European Union
Data processing outside the European Union (EU) does not take place as a matter of principle, since we have limited our storage location to data centers within the European Union. However, we cannot exclude the potential option that data may be routed via Internet servers located outside the EU. This may be the case in particular if participants in online meetings are located in a third country.

However, the data is encrypted by Microsoft during transmission over the cloud, and is, therefore, protected from unauthorized access by third parties.

Deletion of data
As a matter of principle, we delete personal data when there is no further need for storage. A requirement can exist in particular if the data is still required in order to fulfill contractual obligations, to examine and grant or to be able to settle warranties and, if applicable, guarantee claims. In the case of legal storage obligations, deletion shall only be considered after the expiry of the respective storage requirement.
