Privacy Policy

1. Data protection at a glance

General information

The following information provides a simple overview of what happens to your personal data when you visit this website. Personal data is any data that can be used to personally identify you. Detailed information on data protection can be found in our privacy policy set out below.

Data collection on this website

Who is responsible for data collection on this website?
Data processing on this website is carried out by the website operator. Their contact details can be found in the "Information about the controller" section of this privacy policy.

How do we collect your data?
Your data is collected, on the one hand, by you providing it to us. This may, for example, be data you enter into a contact form.

Other data is collected automatically, or after you give your consent, when you visit the website through our IT systems. This is primarily technical data (e.g. internet browser, operating system or time of the page view). This data is collected automatically as soon as you enter this website.

What do we use your data for?
Some of the data is collected to ensure the website is provided without errors. Other data may be used to analyse your user behaviour. Where contracts can be concluded or initiated through the website, the data transmitted is also processed for contract offers, orders or other service requests.

What rights do you have regarding your data?
You have the right at any time to receive information free of charge about the origin, recipients and purpose of your stored personal data. You also have the right to request the correction or deletion of this data. If you have given consent to data processing, you may revoke this consent at any time for the future. You also have the right, under certain circumstances, to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. Furthermore, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.

You may contact us at any time regarding this or any further questions on the subject of data protection.

2. Hosting

This website is hosted externally. The personal data collected on this website is stored on the servers of the hosting provider. This may include, in particular, IP addresses, contact requests, meta and communication data, contract data, contact details, names, website access data and other data generated via a website.

The website itself is a static site and is hosted on GitHub Pages, a service provided by GitHub, Inc., 88 Colin P. Kelly Jr. Street, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA. Inquiries submitted via the contact form, as well as price calculations in the price calculator/shop, are transmitted to our own server system (intern.nanofassadendaemmung.de); see Section 4 for details. When you access the website, the host automatically collects information in so-called server log files that your browser automatically transmits: browser type and version, operating system used, referrer URL, time of the server request, and IP address. This data is not merged with data from other sources. This data is collected on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and security of their website.

Since GitHub, Inc. is a US company, the server log file data may also be processed in the USA. For details on data processing by GitHub, please see the provider's privacy policy: docs.github.com/site-policy/privacy-policies/github-privacy-statement.

3. General information and mandatory disclosures

Data protection

The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

When you use this website, various pieces of personal data are collected. Personal data is data that can be used to personally identify you. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.

We would like to point out that data transmission over the internet (e.g. when communicating by email) may be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Information about the controller

The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:

mkm International GmbH
Represented by the managing director: Kevin Lind
Boschstr. 16, 47533 Kleve, Germany

Phone: +49 28 21 / 786 99 - 85
Email: [email protected]

The controller is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (such as names, email addresses, etc.).

Storage period

Unless a more specific storage period has been stated within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for the data processing no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. tax or commercial law retention periods); in the latter case, deletion will take place once these reasons no longer apply.

General information on the legal basis for data processing on this website

If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR, if special categories of data pursuant to Art. 9(1) GDPR are processed. If your data is necessary for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data if it is necessary for the fulfilment of a legal obligation, on the basis of Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. Data processing may also be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Withdrawal of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may withdraw consent you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out until the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

Right to object to the collection of data in special cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

Where data processing is based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to object at any time to the processing of your personal data; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. If you object, we will no longer process your affected personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims (objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR).

If your personal data is processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such marketing; this also applies to profiling to the extent it is related to such direct marketing.

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of their habitual residence, place of work, or the place of the alleged violation. The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.

Access, rectification and erasure

Within the scope of applicable statutory provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing, and, where applicable, a right to rectification or erasure of this data. You may contact us at any time regarding this or any further questions on the subject of personal data.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You may contact us at any time to do so. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases: if you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us; if the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful; if we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to assert, exercise or defend legal claims; or if you have objected to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR and it has not yet been determined whether our legitimate grounds override yours.

SSL/TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as inquiries you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser's address bar changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the padlock icon in your browser bar.

Objection to promotional emails

We hereby object to the use of contact data published within the scope of the legal notice (Impressum) obligation for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and information materials. The operators of these pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited advertising material being sent, such as spam emails.

4. Data collection on this website

Sales agent attribution (local storage)

If you access our website via a link containing a sales agent identifier (e.g. "?vb=1234"), we store this identifier locally in your browser (local storage) for 30 days, so that it can be automatically attributed to the responsible sales representative in a subsequent email or WhatsApp inquiry. The identifier is only inserted into the inquiry you yourself initiate (subject/text of the email or WhatsApp message) and is not automatically transmitted to third parties or to us. When contacting us by phone, such transmission is technically not possible.

This storage is necessary to provide the sales agent attribution you requested and is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest in correct commission/contact-person attribution (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). You may end this storage at any time via your browser settings (clear local storage).

Storage-notice cookie (local storage)

When you confirm the notice banner about local storage with "Understood", we store this confirmation locally in your browser (local storage) so that the notice is not shown to you again on a repeat visit. This is a purely technical storage necessary for the operation of the website, without any analytics or tracking purpose, carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). You may end this storage at any time via your browser settings (clear local storage).

Contact form

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, the details you provide in the inquiry form, including the contact data you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing your inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. The data is transmitted in encrypted form to our own server system (intern.nanofassadendaemmung.de), where it is stored in our internal customer and project management system and processed exclusively by authorised staff. We do not share this data without your consent.

This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, provided your inquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), if this was requested; consent can be revoked at any time.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after your inquiry has been fully processed). Mandatory statutory provisions — in particular retention periods — remain unaffected.

Price calculator, shop and discount codes

If you use the price calculator or the shop on this website, or enter a discount code, your browser sends a technical request to our own server system (intern.nanofassadendaemmung.de). In doing so, your IP address and the calculation data you enter (e.g. area, selected tariff, discount code) are transmitted and processed exclusively in order to calculate the price or to verify the discount code. These calculation requests are not stored permanently beyond technically customary server log files; personal data is only stored if you subsequently submit an inquiry yourself (see "Contact form"). The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (implementation of pre-contractual measures at your request) as well as our legitimate interest in providing the calculator function (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

Inquiries by email, phone or WhatsApp

If you contact us by email, phone or WhatsApp, your inquiry, including all resulting personal data (name, inquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We do not share this data without your consent.

5. Analytics tools, tracking and social media

This website does not use any analytics or tracking tools (such as Google Analytics, Matomo, etc.) or cookies for analytics or advertising purposes. No plugins or content from social networks (such as Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, XING, Pinterest) are embedded through which data could be transmitted to third parties when visiting the website. No external fonts or other third-party resources are loaded either.

The only client-side stored information is the purely technically necessary local storage for sales agent attribution described in Section 4, as well as the storage-notice status also described there. Both storages take place exclusively locally in your browser, are not automatically transmitted to us or third parties, and do not serve any analysis or tracking of your usage behaviour.
