The protection of your data is important to us!
Data Protection
The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.
The use of our website is generally possible without providing personal data. As far as personal data (for example name, address, or email addresses) is collected on our pages, this is always done, as far as possible, on a voluntary basis. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent.
We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., communication by email) can have security vulnerabilities. A complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.
The Controller
The controller responsible for the collection, processing, and use of your personal data within the meaning of Art. 4 No. 7 GDPR is Kim Simmerlein, Managing Director of Kleinhempel GmbH, Tarpenring 17, 22419 Hamburg. If you wish to object to the collection, processing, or use of your data by us in accordance with these data protection regulations as a whole or for individual measures, you can address your objection to the controller.
General Purposes of Processing
We use personal data for the purpose of operating the website and for establishing contact in the event of an inquiry for an offer and/or information, as well as for the clear internal identification of orders, offers, and the respective contact persons and/or interested parties, as well as for smooth and clear communication with the aforementioned contact persons and interested parties.
Hosting
The hosting services we use serve the purpose of providing the following services: infrastructure and platform services, computing capacity, storage space, and database services, security services, as well as technical maintenance services that we use for the purpose of operating the website.
In doing so, we, or our hosting provider, process inventory data, contact data, content data, contract data, usage data, meta, and communication data of customers, interested parties, and visitors to this website on the basis of our legitimate interests in an efficient and secure provision of our website in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR in conjunction with Art. 28 GDPR.
Email Contact
If you contact us (e.g., via contact form or email), we process your details to handle the inquiry and in the event that follow-up questions arise.
If the data processing is carried out to perform pre-contractual measures in response to your request, or, if you are already our customer, for the performance of the contract, the legal basis for this data processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR.
We only process further personal data if you consent to it (Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR) or if we have a legitimate interest in processing your data (Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR). A legitimate interest is, for example, replying to your email.
Data for the Fulfillment of Our Contractual Obligations
We process personal data that we require to fulfill our contractual obligations, such as name, address, email address, ordered products, billing and payment data. The collection of this data is necessary for the conclusion of the contract. The data will be deleted after the expiration of warranty periods and statutory retention periods. Data linked to a user account will in any case be retained for the time this account is maintained.
The legal basis for processing this data is Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR, because this data is required so that we can fulfill our contractual obligations to you.
Storage Duration
Unless specifically stated, we only store personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfill the pursued purposes. In some cases, the legislator requires the retention of personal data, for example in tax or commercial law.

As a matter of principle, we only use your personal data within our company. If and insofar as we involve third parties in the performance of contracts (such as logistics service providers), they will receive personal data only to the extent that the transmission is required for the corresponding service. In the event that we outsource certain parts of data processing ("order processing"), we contractually oblige processors to use personal data only in accordance with the requirements of data protection laws and to ensure the protection of the rights of the data subject.
A transfer of data to entities or persons outside the EU outside of the cases mentioned in this declaration does not take place and is not planned.

Microsoft Clarity
We use Microsoft Clarity. "Microsoft Clarity" designates a procedure by Microsoft in which a user analysis is possible on the basis of a pseudonymous user ID and thus on the basis of pseudonymous data, such as the evaluation of data about mouse movements or performance data about certain internet presentations.
In doing so, we process in particular usage data (e.g., visited internet presentations, interest in content, access times), meta/communication data (e.g., device information, IP addresses), location data (information on the geographical position of a device or a person), movement data (mouse movements, scroll movements) in a pseudonymized form. We have adjusted the corresponding settings so that the data collection to and by Microsoft alone is pseudonymized, especially in the form of IP masking (pseudonymization of the IP address).
Affected by this data processing are all users of our website who have consented to the corresponding use via our cookie consent service. The data processing thus takes place solely on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) a) GDPR.
The purpose of the processing is tracking (e.g., interest/behavioral profiling, use of cookies), remarketing, conversion measurement (measuring the effectiveness of marketing measures), interest-based and behavioral marketing, profiling (creating user profiles), reach measurement (e.g., access statistics, recognition of returning users), cross-device tracking (cross-device processing of user data for marketing purposes).
You are advised of your right of objection in accordance with this privacy policy. In addition, you can set an opt-out with the respective provider.
