Data protection

The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data as confidential and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this data protection declaration.

When you visit this website, various types of personal data are collected. Personal data includes any data by which you can be personally identified. This data protection declaration explains what types of information we collect and how we use it. It also explains how and for what purpose this is carried out.

Please note that data transmission on the internet (e.g. when communicating via e-mail) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Note on the data controller

The data controller for this website is:

D. Kaupke Leiterplatten Service GmbH
Südwestpark 108
90449 Nuremberg
Germany

Telefon: +49 (0) 968 796 0
E-Mail: info@kaupke.de

The data controller is the natural or legal entity, which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g. names, e-mail addresses etc.) on this website.

Revocation of your consent to data processing

Many data processing processes are only permitted with your express consent. You can revoke your consent at any time. For this purpose, an informal e-mail is sufficient. The legality of the data processing carried out until the withdrawal of consent remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

Right to object to data collection in specific cases, and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

If processing of data is based on Art. 6 Abs. 1 Lit. E or F GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time for the reasons arising from your specific case; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is connected with these provisions. The respective legal basis on which processing is based on, can be found in this data protection declaration. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or if the processing is for the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims (objection under 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 your personal data for the purpose of such marketing; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is connected with such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for the purpose of direct marketing (objection under Art. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to file a complaint with the responsible supervisory authority

In the event of GDPR infringements, those affected have the right to file a complaint with the responsible supervisory authority.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilling 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 responsible party, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.

SSL or TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transfer of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries that you send to us operators of this website, this website uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognise 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.

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

Disclosure, blocking, deletion and correction

Within the framework of applicable legal provisions, you have, at any time, the right to disclosure of your stored personal data, its source and recipients and the purpose of data processing free of charge and, if applicable, a right to correction, blocking or deletion of this data. For this purpose, as well as for further questions on the subject of personal data, you can contact us at any time via the address listed in the imprints of this website.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. To do so, you can contact us at any time at the address listed in the imprints of this website. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:

  • If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification process, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
  • If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you may request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion of your personal data.
  • If we no longer require your personal data, but you require it for the exercise, defence or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of the deletion.
  • If you have objected to the processing of your personal data in accordance with Art. 21 Abs. 1 GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data may, apart from being stored, only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims, or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal entity, or for reasons of important public interests of the European Union or one of its member states.
