Privacy Policy

We are very pleased about your interest in our company. Data protection is of particularly high importance to the management of MKT engineering GmbH & Co. KG. The use of the websites of MKT engineering GmbH & Co. KG is generally possible without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to make use of special services offered by our company via our website, the processing of personal data may become necessary. If the processing of personal data is required and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.
The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, email address or telephone number of a data subject, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and in compliance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to MKT engineering GmbH & Co. KG. Through this privacy policy, our company would like to inform the public about the nature, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, this privacy policy informs data subjects about the rights to which they are entitled.
As the controller responsible for processing, MKT engineering GmbH & Co. KG has implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible for personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions may generally have security vulnerabilities, meaning that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone.
1. Definitions
The privacy policy of MKT engineering GmbH & Co. KG is based on the terminology used by the European legislator when adopting the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy is intended to be easy to read and understand for the public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terminology used in advance.
In this privacy policy, we use, among others, the following terms:
   a) Personal data
Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person, hereinafter referred to as the “data subject”. An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or one or more specific characteristics expressing the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
   b) Data subject
A data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller responsible for the processing.
   c) Processing
Processing means any operation or set of operations performed on personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.
   d) Restriction of processing
Restriction of processing means the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting its future processing.
   e) Profiling
Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.
   f) Pseudonymisation
Pseudonymisation means the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures ensuring that the personal data is not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
   g) Controller or controller responsible for processing
The controller or controller responsible for processing is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of processing personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union law or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union law or Member State law.
   h) Processor
A processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
   i) Recipient
A recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body to whom personal data is disclosed, whether or not this is a third party. However, public authorities that may receive personal data in the context of a specific inquiry under Union law or Member State law are not regarded as recipients.
   j) Third party
A third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and the persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorised to process personal data.
   k) Consent
Consent means any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes, in the form of a statement or other clear affirmative action, by which the data subject indicates agreement to the processing of personal data relating to them.
2. Name and address of the controller responsible for processing
The controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation, other data protection laws applicable in the Member States of the European Union and other provisions of a data protection nature is:
MKT engineering GmbH & Co. KG
Segitzdamm 2
10969 Berlin
Germany
Tel.: +49 30 21001 - 330
Email: office@mkt-engineering.de
Website: www.mkt-engineering.de
3. Cookies
The websites of MKT engineering GmbH & Co. KG use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system via an internet browser.
Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a character string through which websites and servers can be assigned to the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the websites and servers visited to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other internet browsers that contain different cookies. A specific internet browser can be recognised and identified by means of the unique cookie ID.
By using cookies, MKT engineering GmbH & Co. KG can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the setting of cookies.
By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimised in the interests of the user. As already mentioned, cookies enable us to recognise users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter access data each time they visit the website, because this is handled by the website and the cookie stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping basket in an online shop. The online shop remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping basket by means of a cookie.
The data subject may prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by making the appropriate setting in the internet browser used and may thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set may be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common internet browsers. If the data subject disables the setting of cookies in the internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.
4. Collection of general data and information
The website of MKT engineering GmbH & Co. KG collects a series of general data and information each time the website is accessed by a data subject or an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the server log files. The following may be collected:
browser types and versions used,
the operating system used by the accessing system,
the website from which an accessing system reaches our website, so-called referrers,
the subpages accessed on our website by an accessing system,
the date and time of access to the website,
an Internet Protocol address, IP address,
the internet service provider of the accessing system, and
other similar data and information used for security purposes in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
When using this general data and information, MKT engineering GmbH & Co. KG does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is required in order to:
correctly deliver the content of our website,
optimise the content of our website and advertising for it,
ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and
provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyberattack.
This anonymously collected data and information is therefore evaluated by MKT engineering GmbH & Co. KG both statistically and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company, ultimately ensuring an optimal level of protection for the personal data processed by us. The anonymous data from the server log files is stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.
5. Routine erasure and blocking of personal data
The controller responsible for processing processes and stores personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or where this is provided for by the European legislator or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.
If the storage purpose ceases to apply or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or erased in accordance with statutory provisions.
6. Rights of the data subject
   a) Right to confirmation
Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain confirmation from the controller as to whether personal data concerning them is being processed. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of confirmation, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.
   b) Right of access
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller, at any time and free of charge, information about the personal data stored concerning them and a copy of this information. Furthermore, the European legislator has granted the data subject access to the following information:
the purposes of the processing
the categories of personal data being processed
the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data has been or will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries or international organisations
where possible, the planned duration for which the personal data will be stored, or, if this is not possible, the criteria used to determine that duration
the existence of a right to rectification or erasure of personal data concerning them, or to restriction of processing by the controller, or a right to object to such processing
the existence of a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
where the personal data is not collected from the data subject: all available information about the origin of the data
the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, pursuant to Article 22(1) and (4) GDPR and, at least in those cases, meaningful information about the logic involved as well as the significance and intended consequences of such processing for the data subject
Furthermore, the data subject has a right to information as to whether personal data has been transferred to a third country or an international organisation. Where this is the case, the data subject also has the right to be informed of the appropriate safeguards relating to the transfer.
If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of access, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.
   c) Right to rectification
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to demand the immediate rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning them. Furthermore, taking into account the purposes of the processing, the data subject has the right to request the completion of incomplete personal data, including by means of a supplementary statement.
If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.
   d) Right to erasure, right to be forgotten
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to request from the controller that personal data concerning them be erased without undue delay, provided one of the following reasons applies and insofar as the processing is not required:
The personal data was collected or otherwise processed for purposes for which it is no longer necessary.
The data subject withdraws consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) GDPR.
The personal data has been unlawfully processed.
The erasure of the personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation under Union law or Member State law to which the controller is subject.
The personal data was collected in relation to services offered by information society services pursuant to Article 8(1) GDPR.
If one of the above-mentioned reasons applies and a data subject wishes to arrange for the erasure of personal data stored by MKT engineering GmbH & Co. KG, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time. The employee of MKT engineering GmbH & Co. KG will ensure that the erasure request is complied with without delay.
Where the personal data has been made public by MKT engineering GmbH & Co. KG and our company, as controller pursuant to Article 17(1) GDPR, is obliged to erase the personal data, MKT engineering GmbH & Co. KG shall, taking account of available technology and implementation costs, take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform other controllers processing the published personal data that the data subject has requested from those other controllers the erasure of all links to such personal data or copies or replications of such personal data, insofar as the processing is not required. The employee of MKT engineering GmbH & Co. KG will arrange what is necessary in each individual case.
   e) Right to restriction of processing
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to request from the controller the restriction of processing where one of the following conditions applies:
The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
The processing is unlawful, the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests instead the restriction of its use.
The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but the data subject requires it for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR pending verification as to whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.
If one of the above conditions applies and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of personal data stored by MKT engineering GmbH & Co. KG, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time. The employee of MKT engineering GmbH & Co. KG will arrange the restriction of processing.
   f) Right to data portability
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to receive the personal data concerning them, which has been provided by the data subject to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. They also have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data was provided, where the processing is based on consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR, or on a contract pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, and the processing is carried out by automated means, provided that the processing is not necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
Furthermore, when exercising their right to data portability pursuant to Article 20(1) GDPR, the data subject has the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and where this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.
To exercise the right to data portability, the data subject may contact an employee of MKT engineering GmbH & Co. KG at any time.
   g) Right to object
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to object at any time, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning them based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
MKT engineering GmbH & Co. KG will no longer process the personal data in the event of an objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
If MKT engineering GmbH & Co. KG processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data for such marketing purposes. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to MKT engineering GmbH & Co. KG processing for direct marketing purposes, MKT engineering GmbH & Co. KG will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.
In addition, the data subject has the right, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to object to the processing of personal data concerning them by MKT engineering GmbH & Co. KG for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) GDPR, unless such processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest.
To exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact any employee of MKT engineering GmbH & Co. KG directly. The data subject is also free, in connection with the use of information society services and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to exercise their right to object by automated means using technical specifications.
   h) Automated individual decision-making, including profiling
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning them or similarly significantly affects them, unless the decision:
is necessary for entering into or performing a contract between the data subject and the controller, or
is authorised by Union law or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the rights, freedoms and legitimate interests of the data subject, or
is based on the data subject’s explicit consent.
If the decision is necessary for entering into or performing a contract between the data subject and the controller, or if it is based on the data subject’s explicit consent, MKT engineering GmbH & Co. KG shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the rights, freedoms and legitimate interests of the data subject, including at least the right to obtain human intervention by the controller, to express their point of view and to contest the decision.
If the data subject wishes to exercise rights relating to automated decisions, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.
   i) Right to withdraw consent under data protection law
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to withdraw consent to the processing of personal data at any time.
If the data subject wishes to exercise their right to withdraw consent, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.
7. Data protection provisions regarding the use of Google Analytics with anonymisation function
The controller responsible for processing has integrated the Google Analytics component, with anonymisation function, on this website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analytics is the collection, gathering and evaluation of data about the behaviour of visitors to websites. A web analytics service records, among other things, data on which website a data subject came from to reach a website, so-called referrers, which subpages of the website were accessed, and how often and for how long a subpage was viewed. Web analytics is mainly used to optimise a website and for the cost-benefit analysis of internet advertising.
The operating company of the Google Analytics component is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.
The controller responsible for processing uses the addition “_gat._anonymizeIp” for web analytics via Google Analytics. By means of this addition, the IP address of the data subject’s internet connection is shortened and anonymised by Google if access to our websites takes place from a Member State of the European Union or from another contracting state to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyse visitor flows on our website. Google uses the data and information obtained, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports for us showing the activities on our websites, and to provide other services related to the use of our website.
Google Analytics sets a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. Cookies have already been explained above. By setting the cookie, Google is enabled to analyse the use of our website. Each time one of the individual pages of this website, operated by the controller and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, is accessed, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. As part of this technical process, Google obtains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which Google uses, among other things, to trace the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently to enable commission settlements.
By means of the cookie, personal information, such as the access time, the location from which access originated and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject, is stored. Each time our websites are visited, this personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, is transferred to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may disclose this personal data collected through the technical process to third parties.
The data subject may prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by making the appropriate setting in the internet browser used, as already described above, and may thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics may be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.
Furthermore, the data subject has the option of objecting to and preventing the collection of data generated by Google Analytics relating to the use of this website and the processing of this data by Google. To do this, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on under the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information about visits to websites may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is regarded by Google as an objection. If the information technology system of the data subject is later deleted, formatted or reinstalled, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on in order to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or disabled by the data subject or another person attributable to their sphere of control, it is possible to reinstall or reactivate the browser add-on.
Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google can be accessed at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and at http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html. Google Analytics is explained in more detail at https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/.
8. Data protection provisions regarding the use of LinkedIn
The controller responsible for processing has integrated components of LinkedIn Corporation on this website. LinkedIn is an internet-based social network that enables users to connect with existing business contacts and to establish new business contacts. More than 400 million registered persons use LinkedIn in over 200 countries. LinkedIn is currently the largest platform for business contacts and one of the most visited websites in the world.
The operating company of LinkedIn is LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. For data protection matters outside the USA, LinkedIn Ireland, Privacy Policy Issues, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland, is responsible.
Each time our website is accessed, where it is equipped with a LinkedIn component, LinkedIn plug-in, this component causes the browser used by the data subject to download a corresponding representation of the component from LinkedIn. Further information on LinkedIn plug-ins can be accessed at https://developer.linkedin.com/plugins. As part of this technical process, LinkedIn obtains knowledge of which specific subpage of our website is visited by the data subject.
If the data subject is logged into LinkedIn at the same time, LinkedIn recognises with each visit to our website by the data subject and for the entire duration of the respective stay on our website which specific subpage of our website the data subject visits. This information is collected by the LinkedIn component and assigned by LinkedIn to the respective LinkedIn account of the data subject. If the data subject activates a LinkedIn button integrated on our website, LinkedIn assigns this information to the personal LinkedIn user account of the data subject and stores this personal data.
LinkedIn always receives information via the LinkedIn component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is logged into LinkedIn at the time of accessing our website; this occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the LinkedIn component or not. If such transmission of this information to LinkedIn is not desired by the data subject, they can prevent transmission by logging out of their LinkedIn account before accessing our website.
LinkedIn offers the possibility to unsubscribe from email messages, SMS messages and targeted ads, as well as to manage ad settings, at https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/guest-controls. LinkedIn also uses partners such as Quantcast, Google Analytics, BlueKai, DoubleClick, Nielsen, Comscore, Eloqua and Lotame, which may set cookies. Such cookies can be rejected at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/cookie-policy. The applicable privacy policy of LinkedIn can be accessed at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy. LinkedIn’s cookie policy can be accessed at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/cookie-policy.
9. Data protection provisions regarding the use of YouTube
The controller responsible for processing has integrated components of YouTube on this website. YouTube is an internet video portal that enables video publishers to upload video clips free of charge and other users to view, rate and comment on them, also free of charge. YouTube allows the publication of all types of videos, which is why complete film and television programmes, music videos, trailers and videos created by users themselves can be accessed via the internet portal.
The operating company of YouTube is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.
Each time one of the individual pages of this website, operated by the controller and on which a YouTube component, YouTube video, has been integrated, is accessed, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective YouTube component to download a representation of the corresponding YouTube component from YouTube. Further information about YouTube can be accessed at https://www.youtube.com/yt/about/de/. As part of this technical process, YouTube and Google obtain knowledge of which specific subpage of our website is visited by the data subject.
If the data subject is logged into YouTube at the same time, YouTube recognises, when a subpage containing a YouTube video is accessed, which specific subpage of our website the data subject visits. This information is collected by YouTube and Google and assigned to the respective YouTube account of the data subject.
YouTube and Google always receive information via the YouTube component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is logged into YouTube at the time of accessing our website; this occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks on a YouTube video or not. If such transmission of this information to YouTube and Google is not desired by the data subject, they can prevent transmission by logging out of their YouTube account before accessing our website.
The privacy policy published by YouTube, available at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/, provides information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by YouTube and Google.
10. Legal basis for processing
Article 6(1)(a) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which our company obtains consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. The same applies to processing operations necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services.
If our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data, such as the fulfilment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(c) GDPR.
In rare cases, the processing of personal data may become necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured on our premises and their name, age, health insurance data or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. In this case, the processing would be based on Article 6(1)(d) GDPR.
Finally, processing operations may be based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. This legal basis applies to processing operations not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases, where processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override these interests. Such processing operations are permitted in particular because they were specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, the legislator considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller, Recital 47 sentence 2 GDPR.
11. Legitimate interests pursued by the controller or a third party
Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, our legitimate interest is the conduct of our business activities for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and shareholders.
12. Duration for which personal data is stored
The criterion for the duration of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiry of this period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, provided it is no longer required for the fulfilment or initiation of a contract.
13. Legal or contractual requirements to provide personal data; necessity for conclusion of contract; obligation of the data subject to provide personal data; possible consequences of non-provision
We inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law, for example tax regulations, or may also arise from contractual provisions, for example details of the contractual partner. In some cases, it may be necessary for the conclusion of a contract that a data subject provides us with personal data, which must subsequently be processed by us.
For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company concludes a contract with them. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded.
Before providing personal data, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee will clarify to the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of personal data is required by law or contract, or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and what consequences the failure to provide the personal data would have.
14. Existence of automated decision-making
As a responsible company, we do not use automated decision-making or profiling.

This privacy policy was created using the Privacy Policy Generator of DGD Deutsche Gesellschaft für Datenschutz GmbH, which acts as External Data Protection Officer Dortmund, in cooperation with Cologne-based data protection lawyer Christian Solmecke.
