Thank you for your interest in our company. The management of Franz Kalff GmbH attaches great importance to data protection. Using the Franz Kalff GmbH website is possible without providing any personal data. Protection of your personal data and compliance with the legal regulations for data protection is an important concern for us at Franz Kalff GmbH. Personal data means information that can be used to disclose your identity, such as your name, postal or e-mail address. There is no person-related analysis of the information our provider obtains through this website being visited. Any personal data given by you on this website is on a voluntary basis.
The data you submit via our online form is transmitted to us in a secure and encrypted form. We use the SSL method for this purpose. As the controller, Franz Kalff GmbH has implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure the greatest possible protection of your personal data. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions may have security gaps, 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.
Our privacy policy contains terms that are used in the General Data Protection Regulation and the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG).
The privacy policy should be easy to understand. For this reason you will find Definitions of important terms at the very bottom of this page.
First of all, we would like to inform you about your rights as a data subject:
Where the processing of your personal data is based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. Furthermore, you have the right to request from the controller a confirmation of whether your data is being processed by the controller and, if applicable, the right of access to this personal data. You also have the right to demand that the controller immediately rectify incorrect personal data concerning you and, where applicable, immediately erase your personal data or restrict the processing of your data. You have the right to object to the processing. You also have the right to data portability, meaning you can receive the personal data concerning you in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. Where the controller carries out automated decision-making or profiling you have the right not to be subject to decisions based solely on automated processing, including profiling. Finally, you also have the right to complain to the supervisory authority.
You are not obliged to provide us with data. However, non-provision may result in us being unable to process your request or your enquiry.

In the following, we would like to inform you about the categories of data we collect and how we process the data you provide us with:Personal data is collected by us in the contact form and includes your name and, where applicable, title, your contact details and your message to us. The purpose of processing is to fulfil your customer requests, to order information material and to contact you about our products and services. The legal basis of the processing is your consent to the processing of your data according to Art. 6 I sentence 1 lit. a of the GDPR, which you declare when sending the data to us, or, if the contact relates to a contract with us, the basis for processing can also be the fulfilment of contractual obligations according to Art. 6 I sentence 1 lit. b of the GDPR.
After you send your data, it will be forwarded to our employees, who will process your request and, if necessary, send you information and material or contact you. Personal data is only processed within our organisational structure. We use service providers who process data on our behalf for mail and web hosting. Where we use service providers who process your data for us, they are obligated by us to treat all data as strictly confidential. They are prohibited from processing the data for any other purpose than agreed. We do not sell your data to third parties, nor do we market it in any other way.
Your data will not be transferred to an EEA third country or international organisation. The storage duration of your data covers the processing time of your enquiry and, where necessary, legal retention periods or the periods for which retention of the data is necessary for the assertion of legal claims and is then routinely erased. If we have received your contact details for the regular sending of information material, it will be stored until you withdraw your consent.
Applications and the application process
The controller collects and processes the personal data categories of applicants, such as name, private address, contact details, qualifications, etc., for the purpose of managing the application procedure. The processing may also be carried out electronically. This is in particular the case when an applicant submits relevant application documents to the controller by electronic means, such as e-mail or any other electronic medium.
We expressly recommend that applicants send us such application data in encrypted form and send us the decryption code separately.
If the data controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data is stored for the purpose of managing the employment relationship in compliance with legal requirements. The processing takes place on the basis of Art. 6 sentence 1 lit. b of the GDPR for the initiation or execution of an employment contract. If the controller does not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents shall be automatically deleted two months after notification of the decision to reject the application, unless deletion conflicts with any other legitimate interests of the controller. Other legitimate interests in this sense include, for example, a duty to provide evidence in proceedings under the General Act on Equal Treatment (AGG).
