II. PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA WHEN USING OUR WEBSITE

When using our website for purely informational purposes, we collect the personal data that your browser transmits to our server. This information is temporarily stored in a so-called log file. The following information is collected without your intervention and stored until automated deletion:

IP address of the accessing terminal device,
Date and time of access,
Name and URL of the retrieved file(s),
Internet page from which access is made (referrer URL),
the browser used and, if applicable, the operating system of your computer as well as the name of your access provider.

The processing of the data is technically necessary and takes place for the following purposes:

Ensuring a smooth connection of the website,
Ensuring a comfortable use of our website, and
Evaluation of system safety and stability.

The legal basis for the above data processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is derived from the purposes listed above for the collection and processing of data.

We will only store your personal data for as long as is necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was collected, but as a rule for no longer than seven days. After the respective purpose has ceased or this period has expired, the corresponding data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.

The provision of the aforementioned personal data is neither legally nor contractually prescribed. Without the IP address in particular, however, the functionality of our website cannot be guaranteed.

With regard to your right of objection under Art. 21 GDPR, reference is made to VII. of our data protection information.

III. PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA THROUGH COOKIES

Our website uses cookies. These are small text files that are stored on the terminal device with which you access this website. Generally, cookies are used to ensure security when visiting a website (“absolutely necessary”), to implement certain functionalities such as standard language settings (“functional”), to improve the user experience or performance on the website (“performance”) or to play out target group-based advertising (“marketing”). Cookies cannot run programs or transmit viruses to your computer.

Our website uses only absolutely necessary, functional and performance cookies, in particular to implement certain default settings. We do not use techniques such as Java applets or Active-X controls, which make it possible to trace the access behaviour of users. The legal basis for the use of cookies is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our justified interest also follows from the purposes listed under II. for data collection.

The cookies we use are deleted after your session.

You can prevent the installation of cookies by preventing the installation of cookies with a corresponding setting or add-ons in your browser. However, we would like to point out that in this case you may no longer be able to use our website correctly.

IV. PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA WHEN CONTACTING US

In addition to the purely informative use of our website, we offer you various opportunities to get in touch with us and inform yourself about our services. For this purpose, you must usually provide further personal data about yourself. In this connection we would like to point out that our offer is directed exclusively at adults. Persons under the age of 18 may not transmit any personal data to us without the consent of their parents or (other) legal guardians.

Contact form

If you send us an inquiry via our contact form, the information and personal data entered by you – these are at least your first name and surname as well as your e-mail address (necessary information) – will be processed exclusively for the purpose of processing and answering your inquiry.

Our website uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content that you send to us as the operator of the website. You can recognize this by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.
If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the (personal) data that you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Contact by e-mail, telephone and fax

The same applies to the processing of your personal data if you send us an enquiry via info@mk-mentor.de or contact us by telephone or fax.

The processing of your entered personal data is carried out either to carry out pre-contractual measures or to fulfil an already existing contract with you or to answer your other enquiry and therefore in our legitimate interest. Legal bases for our processing are Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. b) or f) GDPR.

As a rule, we store the personal data that you provide to us as part of your contact with us for a maximum period of six months after the end of the conversation; the conversation is terminated when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the relevant facts have been conclusively clarified. In this case, we will store your personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfill the contract with you or as prescribed by law due to statutory retention periods.

The provision of your personal data as part of your contact request is voluntary. However, we would like to point out that we may not be able to process your request if you do not provide us with the necessary information.
With regard to your right of objection under Art. 21 GDPR, reference is made to VII. of our data protection information.

V. RECEIVER

Within our company, only the employees responsible for the aforementioned purposes have access to your data. In addition, your personal data is partly stored and processed in CRM systems and by web hosts, whose providers may have access to your personal data for maintenance purposes. Insofar as this is necessary for processing your enquiry (e.g. in the context of preparing an offer), your data may also be passed on to other service providers in individual cases.

VI. AFFECTED RIGHTS

You have the right,

to request information about your personal data processed by us in accordance with Art. 15 GDPR. In particular, you may request information on the processing purposes, the category of personal data, the categories of recipients to whom your data has been or will be disclosed, the planned storage period, the existence of a right of rectification, deletion, restriction of processing or objection, the existence of a right of complaint, the origin of your data, unless it has been collected from us, as well as the existence of an automated decision making process including profiling and, if applicable, meaningful information on its details,
in accordance with Art. 16 GDPR to immediately request the correction of incorrect or incomplete personal data stored by us,
to demand the deletion of your personal data stored by us in accordance with Art. 17 GDPR, unless processing is necessary for exercising the right to freedom of expression and information, for fulfilling a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest or for asserting, exercising or defending legal claims,
to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data in accordance with Art. 18 GDPR if the accuracy of the data is disputed by you, the processing is unlawful but you refuse its deletion and we no longer need the data, but you need it to assert, exercise or defend legal claims or you have objected to the processing in accordance with Art. 21 GDPR,
in accordance with Art. 20 GDPR, to receive your personal data which you have provided to us in a structured, common and machine-readable format or to request transmission to another responsible person,
to revoke your consent to us at any time in accordance with Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR. The consequence of this is that we may no longer continue the data processing which was based on this for the future, and
to complain to a supervisory authority pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR. As a rule, you can contact the supervisory authority at your usual place of residence or workplace or at our company headquarters. You can find a list of the supervisory authorities (for the non-public sector) with their addresses at: https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Infothek/Anschriften_Links/anschriften_links-node.html.

VII. RIGHT OF OBJECTION

If your personal data are processed on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR, you have the right pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR to object to the respective data processing if there are reasons for doing so which result from your particular situation.

If you wish to exercise your right of objection or to revoke your consent at any time, simply send an e-mail to
info@mk-mentor.de.

VIII. CHANGES TO OUR PRIVACY POLICY

We reserve the right to occasionally adapt these data protection notices so that they always comply with current legal requirements and/or to describe changes or additions to our services, e.g. when new services are introduced. The latest data protection information will then apply to your renewed visit to our website.
