Processing activities
1. Website use
Purpose and scope
Each time our website www.k-business.com is called up, our system automatically records data and information from the computer system of the calling computer. The following data is automatically collected via log files:
- Browser type and the version used
- Operating system of the user
- Internet service provider of the user
- IP address
- Date and time of access
- Websites from which the user's system accesses our website
- Websites that are accessed by the user's system via our website
We process your personal data in order to be able to detect, prevent and investigate attacks on our website. The storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable delivery of the website to the user's computer. For this purpose, the user's IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session. The storage of data in log files is also done to ensure the functionality of the website and to enable its optimization
Regarding the cookies we collect via the website, please refer to our Cookie Statement.
Legal basis
The temporary storage of certain data is on the one hand necessary for the security of our IT systems , and on the other hand allows us to offer you a user-friendly browsing experience, which is why the legal basis for the processing is our legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para.- 1 lit f DSGVO.
The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in log files is mandatory for the operation of the website. Therefore, there is no possibility for the user to object according to Art. 21 DSGVO.
Recipients of data
For the operation and administration of the website, we use IT service providers who, according to our order and instructions, may also have access to personal data in order to provide the commissioned IT services.
Your data will not be passed on to other third parties for their own purposes without your consent.
Duration of storage
The data relating to your visit to the website will be deleted or anonymized when your visit ends. Storage of anonymized data beyond this is possible. This means that in this case the IP addresses of the users are alienated, so that an assignment of the calling client is no longer possible and accordingly no personal reference is possible.
