SSL/TLS encryption
For security reasons, in particular to protect the transmission of confidential content, this website uses SSL or TLS encryption.
This means that data that you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties (e.g. enquiries via a contact form).
Analysis tools and plugins from third-party providers
When you visit this website, your surfing behaviour may be recorded and statistically evaluated. With each visit, a range of general data and information is collected by integrated software modules and hosting. This analysis is usually anonymous, so that the records cannot be traced back to you.
Specifically, cookies and server log files are used by the provider of this website, which store the information that your browser automatically transmits to us.
The following can be recorded
- the browser type and version used
- the operating system used by the accessing system
- the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrer)
- the sub-websites that are accessed via an accessing system on our website
- 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 IT infrastructure.
This data cannot be directly assigned to specific persons. This data is not merged with other data sources.
This data and information is required to
- display the content of our website correctly
- optimise the content of our website
- ensure the long-term functionality of our IT infrastructure and the technology of our website, and
to provide law enforcement authorities with the necessary information in the event of a cyber attack.
Furthermore, ams treuhand Kühne can analyse this data and information both statistically and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security of its IT infrastructure.
We reserve the right to check this data retrospectively if we become aware of specific indications of unlawful use.
The data and information collected will only be processed for the aforementioned purposes and then deleted.
Cookies
So-called ‘cookies’ are small text files that your browser stores on your computer when you visit websites. These cookies help the operators of a website to make it safer, more effective and more user-friendly. They do not cause any damage and do not contain viruses.
The most commonly used type is the ‘session cookie’, which is automatically deleted at the end of the visit. Other types remain stored on the computer until they are actively deleted by you as the user.
Cookies contain a so-called cookie ID, a unique identifier of the cookie, which assigns websites and servers to a specific Internet browser. A specific Internet browser can be recognised and identified via this unique cookie ID.
We do not use cookies ourselves, but we cannot rule out the possibility that third-party providers – e.g. plugins activated on our website – may use them.
The most common browsers offer functions that allow you to customise the use of cookies. For example, you can set your browser to notify you when a cookie is set. Or you can restrict or exclude their use or ensure that cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser.
Please note, however, that if you deactivate cookies, you may no longer be able to use all the functions and options of this website.
Such information about the use of this website (including your IP address) may, for example in the case of Google Analytics (see below), be transferred to servers abroad and stored there. By using our website, you consent to the transfer of this data.
Personal data
The use of our website is generally possible without providing personal data. Personal data such as name, address and/or e-mail address are only collected if you contact us on a voluntary, proactive basis:
Communication options
Our website contains various details that enable quick electronic contact and direct communication, including a contact form and a general e-mail address.
If you contact us via the communication options offered on our website, the details you provide (including IP address in the case of the contact form) and information for the specific processing of your enquiry and for any follow-up questions will be stored by us. We will not pass on this data without your consent.
Please note that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) may be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, you should not transmit any confidential data when contacting us in this way.
Links to other websites
This website contains links to websites of other providers. ams treuhand Kühne has no influence on these websites, their content, offers or availability or the data protection declarations and provisions applicable there. It therefore disclaims all liability.
Services offered by third-party providers
ams treuhand Kühne may use other services offered by third-party providers in order to integrate their content and services, such as videos (including YouTube) or articles, into the website. Such integration always presupposes that these third-party providers can collect and process the IP address and other information of visitors to this website. By using our website, you agree to this.
Google Analytics
This website uses functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics. This service is operated and provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google processes the website usage data on behalf of the website operator and is contractually obliged to take measures to ensure the confidentiality of the processed data.
According to its own information, Google Analytics stores cookies (for an explanation, see the ‘Cookies’ section) in the user’s web browser for a period of two years from the last visit. These cookies contain a randomly generated user ID with which a user can be recognised on future visits to the website.
The recorded data is stored together with the randomly generated user ID, which makes it possible to analyse pseudonymous user profiles. This user-related data is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA, stored and automatically deleted after a certain period of time (e.g. 14 months).
Google Fonts
Google Fonts are used on this website. These are the fonts of the company Google Inc. For the European area, the company Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland) is responsible for all Google services.
When you visit our website, the font files are loaded via a Google server. This external access causes data to be transmitted to the Google server. Among other things, Google recognises the IP address of your device, but also information such as language settings, browser version, browser screen resolution and which browser you are using to access the website. It is not clear whether this data is stored or is not clearly communicated by Google.
In addition, Google also uses data from its own web crawler to proactively determine which websites use Google fonts. The corresponding data is published in the so-called BigQuery database of Google Fonts. Third parties use the BigQuery web service to analyse and move large amounts of data.
Google stores CSS requests for one day on its servers, which are mainly located outside the EU. Google stores the font files for one year.
The data that Google stores for one day or one year cannot be deleted without further ado because it is automatically transmitted to Google when the page is accessed. To delete this data prematurely, you would have to contact Google support. Data storage can only be prevented by not visiting our site.
Google Maps
Google’s map service ‘Google Maps’ is not directly integrated on our website. A connection to the Google server abroad, where personal data is also transmitted (IP address of your device, possibly Google profile data, etc.), is only established when you actively select this option.
Your rights
Based on the Data Protection Act, you have various rights, such as the right to information. To assert your rights, please contact us. Our contact details can be found in the legal notice of this website.
We will be happy to provide you with further information in this regard.
Amendments
ams treuhand Kühne may amend this DSE at any time without prior notice. The current version published on our website shall apply. If the DSE is part of a contract with you, we will inform you of the change by e-mail or other suitable means in the event of an update.
