Data protection principles

Technically and organizationally, Kuchler GmbH ensures that the applicable data protection regulations are complied with, both by us and by our external service providers.

Collection, processing and use of usage data from our website

In principle, you can use the Kuchler Service website without disclosing your identity.

The data exchange between the computers connected via the Internet takes place via technically standardized Internet protocols: Each time you access our website, so-called usage data is transmitted by the browser you use to the server we use. The following data is recorded during an ongoing connection for communication between your Internet browser and our web server:

For reasons of technical security, in particular to defend against attempted attacks on the web server, this data is logged by the Internet provider for a short time in accordance with data protection regulations: The data is stored for 8 days.

It is not possible for us to assign this usage data to a specific person; the data is not merged or compared with other data sources.

In general, the logged usage data is not passed on to third parties, not even in excerpts, unless it has been ordered by a court or is necessary for legal or criminal prosecution in the event of attacks on our IT structures.

As a website operator, Kuchler Service has concluded an agreement on commissioned data processing (ADV) with the Internet provider, which certifies the secure and conscientious handling of personal data of our interested parties, customers, partners and suppliers in the data centers. This ensures legally compliant implementation of the legal requirements for data protection in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation).

Use of cookies and opt-out solution

In order to make the Kuchler GmbH website more user-friendly and secure, a common method: Cookies, i.e. small text files, are stored by our website on your requesting device in a directory provided for this purpose, the browser cache. The cookies placed by our website do not cause any damage to your computer, smartphone, tablet, etc.; they also do not contain any viruses or personal data. Most of the cookies used here are so-called performance cookies, which measure error messages and loading times, for example, as well as function cookies, which document your priorities with regard to display size and/or font size, for example. However, our website is guaranteed not to use advertising cookies, so-called "evercookies" or cookie successors (canvas fingerprinting). The cookies used by our website can be easily deleted from the browser cache, the buffer memory of the web browser; you can also prevent their storage at any time by setting your browser software accordingly. In this way, you can also completely prevent the creation of pseudonymous user profiles (see the following paragraph). However, deactivating cookies will limit the user-friendliness of this website.

Collection, processing and use of personal data

If you request offers by e-mail or telephone, we collect the personal data you voluntarily provide, such as name, company, e-mail address and telephone number, exclusively in order to answer pre-contractual inquiries or for the provision of services and processing of our contractual relationship as well as for billing purposes (cf. Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b. GDPR). Kuchler Service does not use your data for unsolicited advertising by e-mail ("e-mailing") or other purposes.

If you use the web form offered by us for company and service evaluation, you will be asked for your invoice number. You are free to decide whether you wish to provide this data. An encrypted SSL or TLS (Transport Layer Security) connection is used for data transmission in order to ensure an appropriate level of protection.

Handling of order data and customer data

Kuchler GmbH uses state-of-the-art technical and organizational security measures to protect the data provided by you against risks of accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorized persons. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments - After a contract or order has been fully processed, your data will be blocked with regard to retention periods under tax and commercial law and deleted after these periods have expired.

For our own advertising purposes, we reserve the right to store your first and last name and your company address in summarized lists and, if necessary, to use them to send you information about our offers and products by post. You can object to the storage and use of your data for this purpose at any time by sending us a message - you will find our contact details more than once on our website.

Secure data transmission

We offer HTTPS-protected communication between clients and the server we use as transport encryption for our website. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that "https://" or a lock symbol appears in front of our domain in the address bar of your browser.

Applicant data protection

If you contact us by email as part of the application process or send us a written application by post, we will only collect the personal data you provide for specific purposes (applicant management); you will receive a confirmation of receipt with the necessary information about the purpose of data collection and the duration of data retention in accordance with Art. 13 GDPR, and written procedural documentation will accompany the entire application process. Applicant data will not be transferred to third countries (e.g. for storage in a cloud) - The data submitted by applicants will only be made available to those persons who are directly involved in the recruitment process and whose participation is required. The collected data of rejected candidates will be stored for a maximum of six months after the end of the application process on the basis of the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG) and then deleted.

Disclosure of personal data to third parties

When passing on personal data to third parties, we naturally observe the legality of the data processing (Recital 40 GDPR). This means, for example, that we pass on the data of our customers to a transport company or an external partner on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR if this is necessary for the fulfillment of the contract - however, the data will not be transferred further or only if you have expressly consented to the transfer (see Art. 4 no. 11 and Art. 7 GDPR). Furthermore, we guarantee that we do not pass on our customers' personal data to third parties for advertising purposes.

Right to information and other data subject rights in accordance with Art. 15 ff GDPR

Upon request, we will inform you in writing in accordance with the applicable law whether and which personal data we have stored about you. In addition to the right of access (Art. 15 GDPR), you may have the following additional rights as a data subject
