What is covered by this privacy policy

This document covers our processing of your personal data, online via our website, as well as offline in case you contact us for additional services such as repairs.
We will only process your personal data if there is a legal basis to do so. Under the General Data Protection Regulation ((EU) 2016/679) (“GDPR”), there are 4 bases that we use.

Legal grounds of our processing

1. Consent – If you agree to our processing. This will be clear when we ask for it. You are also able to withdraw your consent at any time.
2. Contractual obligation – If we have a contract with you, we will need to store and use some information about you.
3. Legal obligation – If there is a law forcing us to process your personal data, we have to comply.
4. Balance of interests (Legitimate interest) – Legitimate interest allows us to process personal data if it is necessary for our legitimate interests and your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms do not outweigh our interest. We will inform you below if we do such processing and what interests we pursue. You can also find information about your rights.

We have marked all processing activities described below with these symbols, so that you can easily see and understand what our legal grounds are.

Deletion of your personal data §

We will generally delete your personal information as soon as we no longer require it for the purposes for which we collected it. If any legal obligation stops us from deleting your information for a certain time, we will stop access to this information, store it securely and delete it after our legal obligation is over.

In case of processing based on your consent, we will delete information as soon as you revoke your consent.

This Website

When using our website, certain personal information will be transferred to our servers automatically. This is necessary to provide you with the website. For example, our servers need to know your IP-Address to know where to send information.

If you simply use our website to get information, we will automatically receive and store the following information about you:

Content data

We use an external hosting provider to serve the website. The provider receives and stores the content data, usage data and metadata on our behalf.

We use a content delivery network (CDN) to load some pictures and elements of this website. The CDN-provider will receive usage data and metadata of your visit. By using a CDN, we can more efficiently provide you with the information you requested.

We automatically delete all server-logs within 7 days. We store the logs for this time to see suspicious activities in our server and protect our infrastructure from outside attacks such as a denial-of-service attack.

Our mandatory fields are:

• E-Mail: We need this to respond to you
• Name: We use this to personalise our message and to see if you had contacted us before
• Telephone number: We may respond telephonically

Our basis for this processing is our contractual obligation if your message concerns purchasing or services offered by KOKI.

If you have a general request, our legal basis is legitimate interest, as we want to give you the best service we can.
