The content available on these pages is for general information only. It is not designed for individual clients’ specific circumstances. We endeavour to provide information that is up-to-date, correct and complete, but cannot guarantee that it is so, and, to the extent permitted by law, we accept no liability in this respect.

The content of these pages is no substitute for professional advice tailored to the specific requirements of an individual case. You should therefore seek professional advice before following, or refraining from, a specific course of action. A client-consultant relationship is established with KONLUS only once acceptance is confirmed in writing, and is not formed by reading, downloading or otherwise using the information provided.

E-mails sent by KONLUS are intended solely for the person or organisation to whom or which they are addressed. They may contain confidential and/or privileged material, and they form part of communications between consultant and client which are protected by law. Persons or organisations for whom or which this information is not intended are not permitted to read, retransmit or circulate it, to use it in any other way, or to regard themselves compelled by it to take any sort of action.

Should you receive such messages in error, we request that you contact the sender and delete the material from your computer. We draw your attention to the fact that e-mails can go missing, be amended or be falsified with or without the involvement of third parties. Conventional e-mails are not protected from access by third parties and therefore confidentiality is not always guaranteed.

We recommend that no confidential data is sent by e-mail unencrypted. We accept no liability for the integrity of e-mails after they have left our domain and cannot compensate you for any loss suffered as a result. We have in place precautionary measures that might reasonably be expected in order to obviate the risk of computer viruses being transmitted.

If, despite the use by us of anti-virus programs, a virus reaches your systems via e-mails sent to you, we accept no liability for any loss suffered as a result. This limitation of liability applies only to the extent permitted by law. Please carry out your own virus checking of e-mails particularly before you open files attached to e-mails. Receipt of e-mail may be disrupted for technical or operational reasons.

Therefore, compliance with deadlines is not affected, nor are any legally binding deadlines set when e-mails are sent to us. We recommend that time-critical or urgent messages are additionally sent by post, courier or fax. If you want to be sure that your e-mail has been correctly received, please request written confirmation of receipt from the recipient.

E-mail communication is insecure because, in principle, it can be read and manipulated by third parties. Where references to other websites (hyperlinks) are concerned, we have no influence over the design and content of such sites. Such sites neither show KONLUS content nor represent KONLUS’s opinions. KONLUS seeks to observe copyrights on graphics and texts used across the whole of its website.

Its main aim is to use graphics and texts it creates itself or graphics and texts which require no licence. All the brand names and trademarks mentioned on the website, and any protected by third parties, are subject to the provisions of the respective trademark laws and the rights of ownership of the respective registered owners without reservation. Such graphics and texts may not be reproduced or used in other electronic or printed publications without the express consent of the respective owner. 

Data protection declaration

The content available on these pages is for general information only. They are not geared to the specific situation of individual clients. We make every effort to be up-to-date, accurate and complete, but we can not guarantee this and exclude all liability to the extent permitted by law.

The contents of these pages can not replace the professional advice that is tailored to the particular circumstances of the individual case. Therefore, before taking any concrete action, you should seek professional advice. Mandate relationships are only justified by a written declaration of acceptance with KONLUS and are neither incurred by reading, downloading or otherwise using the information provided.

E-mails sent by KONLUS are intended solely for the addressed person or organization. They may contain confidential and / or privileged material and are part of the legally protected communication between consultant and client. Persons or organizations for whom this information is not intended are not permitted to read, retransmit, disseminate, reuse, or otherwise use them to take any action.

If you receive such messages by mistake, we ask that you contact the sender and delete the material from your computer. We point out that emails can be lost, changed or falsified by third parties with or without assistance. Traditional e-mails are not protected against access by third parties and therefore the confidentiality may not be respected.

We recommend that you do not send confidential data via email without encryption. We are not responsible for the integrity of emails after they have left our domain and can not compensate you for resulting damages. We reasonably take anticipated precautions to prevent the risk of transmission of computer viruses.

Should a virus enter your system despite the virus protection programs we use by sending emails, we are not liable for any resulting damage. This disclaimer applies only to the extent permitted by law. Please check emails for viruses yourself, especially before opening file attachments to emails. The receipt of emails may be disrupted for technical or operational reasons.

The sending of e-mails to us therefore has no time-keeping effect and can not set any legally binding deadlines. We also recommend sending time-critical or urgent messages by post, courier or fax. If you want to be sure that your email has been properly received, please request a written acknowledgment of receipt from the recipient.

The communication via email is uncertain, as there is always the possibility of knowledge and manipulation by third parties. As far as other Internet pages are referenced (hyperlinks), we have no influence on the design and content of these pages. These pages do not constitute content or opinions of KONLUS. KONLUS endeavors to observe the copyrights of the graphics and texts used in the entire online offer.

The use of self-created graphics and texts or license-free graphics and texts is top priority. All brand names and trademarks mentioned within the online offer and possibly protected by third parties are subject without restriction to the provisions of the applicable trademark law and the ownership rights of the respective registered owners. Reproduction or use of such graphics and texts in other electronic or printed publications is not permitted without the express consent of the respective owner. We take the protection of your privacy very seriously and compliance with data protection laws is a matter of course for us. With this privacy policy we would like to inform you, how personal information is collected and processed.

1. Scope of processing of personal data

In principle, we process personal data of our users only insofar as this is necessary to provide a functioning website and our content and services. The processing of personal data of our users takes place regularly only with the consent of the user. An exception applies to cases in which prior consent can not be obtained for reasons of fact and the processing of the data is permitted by law.

2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) as legal basis.

In the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO as legal basis. This also applies to processing operations required to carry out pre-contractual actions.

Insofar as processing of personal data is required to fulfill a legal obligation that is subject to our company, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c DSGVO as legal basis.

In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d DSGVO as legal basis.

If processing is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of our company or a third party, and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not prevail over the first interest, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO as legal basis for processing.

3. Data deletion and storage duration

The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of the storage is deleted. In addition, such storage may be provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other regulations to which the controller is subject. Blocking or deletion of the data also takes place when a storage period prescribed by the standards mentioned expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for conclusion of a contract or fulfillment of the contract.

(2) The user's operating system 
(3) The user's IP address 
(4) Date and time of access 
(5) Websites from which the user's system accesses our website

The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.

3. Purpose of the data processing

The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to allow delivery of the website to the computer of the user. To do this, the user's IP address must be kept for the duration of the session.

Storage in log files is done to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, the data is used to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context.

For these purposes, our legitimate interest in the processing of data according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.

4. Duration of storage

The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for the purpose of its collection. In the case of collecting the data for providing the website, this is the case when the respective session is completed.

In the case of storing the data in log files, this is the case after no more than seven days. An additional storage is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or alienated, so that an assignment of the calling client is no longer possible.

5. Opposition and removal possibility

The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in log files is essential for the operation of the website. There is consequently no contradiction on the part of the user.
