Whenever you use this website, a variety of personal information will be collected. Personal data comprises data that can be used to personally identify you. This Data Protection Declaration explains which data we collect as well as the purposes we use this data for. It also explains how, and for which purpose the information is collected.

We herewith advise you that the transmission of data via the Internet (i.e. through e-mail communications) may be prone to security gaps. It is not possible to completely protect data against third party access.

Information about the responsible party (referred to as the “controller” in the GDPR)

The data processing controller on this website is:

Messeaufbauten Werner Klos GmbH & Co. KG
Herrn Matthias Klos
Rudolf-Diesel-Straße 68
59425 Unna

Telephone: 0 23 03 / 24 62
Email: info@messebau-klos.de

The controller is the natural person or legal entity that single-handedly or jointly with others makes decisions as to the purposes of and resources for the processing of personal data (e.g. names, e-mail addresses, etc.).

Revocation of your consent to the processing of data

A wide range of data processing transactions are possible only subject to your express consent. You can also revoke at any time any consent you have already given us. To do so, all you are required to do is sent us an informal notification via e-mail. This shall be without prejudice to the lawfulness of any data collection that occurred prior to your revocation.

Right to object to the collection of data in special cases; right to object to direct advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)

In the event that data are processed on the basis of Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. e or f GDPR, you have the right to at any time object to the processing of your personal data based on grounds arising from your unique situation. This also applies to any profiling based on these provisions. To determine the legal basis, on which any processing of data is based, please consult this Data Protection Declaration. If you log an objection, we will no longer process your affected personal data, unless we are in a position to present compelling protection worthy grounds for the processing of your data, that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms or if the purpose of the processing is the claiming, exercising or defence of legal entitlements (objection pursuant to Art. 21 Sect. 1 GDPR).

If your personal data is being processed in order to engage in direct advertising, you have the right to at any time object to the processing of your affected personal data for the purposes of such advertising. This also applies to profiling to the extent that it is affiliated with such direct advertising. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for direct advertising purposes (objection pursuant to Art. 21 Sect. 2 GDPR).

Right to log a complaint with the competent supervisory agency

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects are entitled to log a complaint with a supervisory agency, in particular in the member state where they usually maintain their domicile, place of work or at the place where the alleged violation occurred. The right to log a complaint is in effect regardless of any other administrative or court proceedings available as legal recourses.

LDI (based in Düsseldorf) guards about the compliance with the provisions concerning data protections in NRW.

Right to data portability

You have the right to demand that we hand over any data we automatically process on the basis of your consent or in order to fulfil a contract be handed over to you or a third party in a commonly used, machine readable format. If you should demand the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will be done only if it is technically feasible.

SSL and/or TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as purchase orders or inquiries you submit to us as the website operator, this website uses either an SSL or a TLS encryption programme. You can recognise an encrypted connection by checking whether the address line of the browser switches from “http://” to “https://” and also by the appearance of the lock icon in the browser line.

If the SSL or TLS encryption is activated, data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Information about, blockage, rectification and eradication of data

Within the scope of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right to at any time demand information about your archived personal data, their source and recipients as well as the purpose of the processing of your data. You may also have a right to have your data rectified, blocked or eradicated. If you have questions about this subject matter or any other questions about personal data, please do not hesitate to contact us at any time at the address provided in section “Information Required by Law.”

Right to demand processing restrictions

You have the right to demand the imposition of restrictions as far as the processing of your personal data is concerned. To do so, you may contact us at any time at the address provided in section “Information Required by Law.” The right to demand restriction of processing applies in the following cases:

• In the event that you should dispute the correctness of your data archived by us, we will usually need some time to verify this claim. During the time that this investigation is ongoing, you have the right to demand that we restrict the processing of your personal data.
• If the processing of your personal data was/is conducted in an unlawful manner, you have the option to demand the restriction of the processing of your data in lieu of demanding the eradication of this data.
• If we do not need your personal data any longer and you need it to exercise, defend or claim legal entitlements, you have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of its eradication.
• If you have raised an objection pursuant to Art. 21 Sect. 1 GDPR, your rights and our rights will have to be weighed against each other. As long as it has not been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to demand a restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data – with the exception of their archiving – may be processed only subject to your consent or to claim, exercise or defend legal entitlements or to protect the rights of other natural persons or legal entities or for important public interest reasons cited by the European Union or a member state of the EU.

Rejection of unsolicited e-mails

We herewith object to the use of contact information published in conjunction with the mandatory information to be provided in section “Information Required by Law” to send us promotional and information material that we have not expressly requested. The operators of this website and its pages reserve the express right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of promotional information, for instance via SPAM messages.

Web Font „MyFonts“

This page uses so-called web fonts to display fonts uniformly. When you call up a page, your browser loads the required Web fonts into your browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly.

This website uses the MyFonts Counter, a web analysis service of MyFonts Inc. 500 Unicorn Park Drive, Woburn, MA 01801, USA. Based on the license terms, page view tracking is performed by counting the number of visits to this website for statistical purposes and sending it to MyFonts. MyFonts collects anonymous data.

The use of MyFonts Web Fonts is in the interest of a uniform and appealing presentation of our online offers. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. If your browser does not support web fonts, a default font is used by your computer.

The data is passed on by activating Java script code in the user's browser. In order to prevent the execution of Java script code from MyFonts as a whole, the user can install a Java script blocker (e.g. www.noscript.net ).

The operator of this website is solely responsible for this data within the meaning of Art. 24 of the GDPR. Perspective ismerely the operator of the software and, in this context, a data processor pursuant to Art. 28 of the GDPR. The basis for processing by Perspective is a contract for data processing between the controller and Perspective.

Perspective Software GmbH

Müggelstraße

22 10247 Berlin

Email: privacy@perspective.co

Access Logs (“Server Logs”)

Every time the Funnel is accessed, general log data—so-called server logs—is automatically collected. This data is generally pseudonymous and therefore does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about a natural person. Without this data, it would be technically impossible in some cases to deliver and display the software’s content. Furthermore, the processing of this data is absolutely necessary for security reasons, particularly for access, input, transmission, and storage control. Furthermore, the anonymous information may be used for statistical purposes as well as for optimizing the service and the technology. In addition, the log files may be subsequently reviewed and analyzed in the event of suspected unlawful use of the software. The legal basis for this is found in Section 15 (1) of the German Telemedia Act (TMG) and Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. Generally, data such as the website’s domain name, the web browser and web browser version, the operating system, and the timestamp of access to the software are recorded. The user’s IP address is not stored. However, the user is assigned a so-called session ID. The scope of this logging does not exceed the standard scope of any other website on the Internet. These access logs are stored for up to 7 days. There is no right to object.

Collection of User Behavior Data

Generally, data such as the website’s domain name, the web browser and browser version, the operating system, the user’s session ID, and the timestamp of access to the software are collected. All data that the user enters while using the funnels (e.g., filling out form fields; use of

interactive components) is assigned to the user via a session ID and made available to the operator of this website. The operator of this website is responsible for the deletion, storage, and further processing of this personal data in accordance with current legislation.

Use of Cookies

Cookies are used on the Funnel. These are small text files that are stored on the device you use to access the Funnel. The cookies used serve to ensure security when visiting a website (“strictly necessary”), to implement certain functionalities such as default language settings (“functional”), and to improve the user experience or performance on the website (“performance”). Within the funnels, strictly necessary, functional, and performance cookies are used, in particular to implement certain default settings such as language, to store submitted responses even with a poor internet connection, or to analyze the performance of a funnel and the channel used through which a user accessed these funnels. The use of cookies is strictly necessary for the provision of our services and thus for the fulfillment of the contract (Art. 6 (1) b) GDPR). Storage duration: Up to 1 month or until the end of the browser session Right to object: You can use your browsersettings to decide for yourself whether to allow cookies or to object to their use. Please note that disabling cookies may result in limited or completely restricted functionality of the funnels. The operator of this website has the option to decide individually for each funnel used which options regarding the use of cookies are provided to the user. It is the responsibility of the website operator to use cookies in accordance with applicable legal restrictions. If the website operator uses extensions from external companies within the funnels, it is the responsibility of the website operator to inform the user of this.

The new Privacy Policy will then apply to subsequent visits to the Funnel.
