Laboport series
In the following text, we will inform you about the collection of personal data during usage of our website. Personal data includes all data that relates to you personally, such as your name, address, e-mail addresses, and user behavior.
The party responsible pursuant to Art. 4 Para. 7 of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is:

2. Methods of Contacting the Data Protection Officer
You can reach our data protection officer by sending an e-mail to dataprivacy@knf.com with the subject “Data protection officer” or to our postal address with the additional line “Data protection officer.” .
3. General Data Collection when Calling up our Website
If you use our website for informational purposes only, which is to say, if you do not register or transmit information to us in another manner, in addition to technical information about the terminal device (operating system, screen resolution, and other non-personal properties) and the browser (version and language settings) you use, we will collect the public IP address of the computer you use to visit our website, including the date and time of your access, in particular. We and our service provider are generally not aware of who is behind an IP address unless you provide us with data that makes this identification possible while you use our website.
The data collected is required for technical reasons so we can present our website and guarantee both its stability and security.
The legal basis for this is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 f of the GDPR.
In the scope of weighing interests according to Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 f of the GDPR, we have considered and weighed our interests in provisioning and your interest having your personal data processed in a manner that complies with data privacy legislation. The following data for provisioning our services is occasionally required for technical reasons in order to present our website to you and to guarantee its stability and security, and especially to protect against its misuse. In light of this, we reached the conclusion that this data can be processed (with state-of-the-art data security guaranteed), whereby your interest in processing that is compliant with data privacy legislation is taken into consideration appropriately.
Recording data to provision the website and storing data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the Internet site. Users therefore have no opportunity to object to this.
4. Cookies – General Information
We use what are referred to as cookies on different sites in order to make visits to our websites attractive and enable the use of certain functions. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your terminal device. Some of the cookies we use are deleted again after the end of the browser session, which is to say, after you close your browser (they are referred to as session cookies). Other cookies remain on your terminal device and allow us or our partner companies to recognize your browser the next time you visit the site (they are referred to as long-term cookies). Cookies can be used neither to access other files on your computer nor to determine your e-mail address.

Insofar as we use cookies that are absolutely necessary to provision our website, the legal basis for processing personal data when these cookies are used is Art. 6 Para. 1 f of the GDPR.
Cookies are used to process personal data for marketing purposes or in order to create statistics only if you have granted us your consent. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 Para. 1 a of the GDPR.
You may revoke your consent at any time without specifying reasons under the following link. All you need to do is modify the functionalities allowed.
Cookies are stored on your terminal device, and you have complete control over their usage. You can deactivate or restrict the transfer of cookies by changing the settings in your Internet browser. Cookies that have already been stored can be deleted at any time. This can also take place automatically. If cookies for our websites are deactivated, you may not be able to use all of the websites’ functions to their full extent.
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). The office responsible for users in the EU/EEA and Switzerland is Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, 4 Barrow St., Dublin, Ireland, 1600. Google Analytics uses cookies that make it possible to analyze your usage of the website. The information about your usage of this website that is generated by the cookie is generally transferred to one of Google’s servers in the USA, where it is stored.
KNF’s website uses Google Analytics with the “anonymize IP” enhancement. That means Google truncates the IP address collected by the Google Analytics cookie within member states of the European Union and in other contracting member states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transferring it to the USA. Only in exceptional cases does Google transfer the complete IP address to one of its servers in the USA and truncate it there. On behalf of KNF, Google uses this information to evaluate your usage of the website in order to compile reports about the website activities and in order to provide additional services associated with usage of the website and the Internet to the website operator. The IP address your browser transmits in the scope of Google Analytics is not combined with any other data in Google’s possession.
The legal basis for processing personal data using cookies is Art. 6 Para. 1 Sub-Para. 1 a of the GDPR. You may revoke your consent at any time as described above by adjusting your cookie preferences.
Additionally, you can delete cookies that have already been saved at any time in your browser’s settings. If you do this, you may not be able to use all of the websites’ functions to their full extent.
You can find more information about conditions of use and data privacy at www.google.com/analytics/terms/ or www.google.com/intl/de/analytics/privacyoverview.html.
6. Google Tag Manager / Ad Manager
If you grant your consent, we will use Google Tag Manager from the provider Google Ireland Limited (registry number: 368047), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Tag Manager itself does not record any personal data. Google Tag Manager helps us incorporate and manage our tags. Tags are small code elements that, among other things, serve to measure traffic and user behavior, record the effect of online advertising and social channels, set up re-marketing and orient it towards target groups, and test and optimize websites. We use Tag Manager for the service Google Analytics. If you have deactivated it, Google Tag Manager will consider this deactivation. For more information about Google Tag Manager, see: https://www.google.com/intl/de/tagmanager/use-policy.html.
7. Forwarding Data
Your personal data will not be forwarded to third parties for purposes beside those mentioned.
We will forward your data to third parties only if:
• you have granted your express consent to this,
• this forwarding is necessary for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims, and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding legitimate interest in the non-forwarding of your data,
• there is a legal obligation to forward the data, and
• this is legally permissible and necessary for processing contractual relationships with you,
• and in the event of our legitimate interest.
Your personal data is forwarded in the scope of a contact request initiated by you and using the contact forms. The data entered in the contact form is forwarded within the KNF Group in the process to make it possible to optimally respond to your inquiry. Some of our locations are too small to be able to effectively process inquiries. In this instance, larger locations can take over processing. The KNF Group’s joint access to contact requests thus benefits both you and us. The legal basis for forwarding is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 f of the GDPR, which is to say, our legitimate interest in being able to give our customers the best possible answers and thus improve contact with customers.
Additionally, our web hoster Corpex Internet GmbH, Schauenburgerstraße 6, 20095 Hamburg, has access to your personal data, which happens inevitably during the hosting process and cannot be avoided. However, in the scope of contractual agreements, we guarantee that our web hoster does not use your data in an unauthorized manner and, instead, stores it securely.
We also use a virtual server via Amazon Web Services as a cloud solution, as well as its content delivery network CloudFront. Contractual agreements serve to protect your data in this instance as well. Should your data be transmitted to the USA, reference shall be made to Amazon’s Privacy Shield certification.
The web server is located in Frankfurt.
8. Social-Plugins / Tools
This website uses LinkedIn’s social plugin.
LinkedIn (operator: LinkedIn, 1000 W Maude, Sunnyvale, CA 94085, USA)
By default, this plugin normally records data from you and transmits it to the provider’s servers. To guarantee your privacy is protected, we have taken technical measures that ensure the plugin provider cannot record your data without your consent. When you call up a page into which the plugin is incorporated, it is deactivated at first. Only after you click on the symbol in question is the plugin activated, and you thereby grant your consent to your data being transferred to the provider. The legal basis for using the plugin is Art. 6 Para. 1 a of the GDPR.
After it is activated, the plugin also records personal data, such as your IP address, and sends it to the provider’s servers, where it is stored . Additionally, the activated social plugin sets a cookie with a unique identifier when the website in question is called up. As a result, the provider can also create profiles about your usage behavior. This happens even if you are not a member of the provider’s social network. If you are a member of the provider’s social network and you are logged into the social network when you visit this website, your data and information about the visit to this website can be linked with your profile on the social network. We have no influence on the scope of data the provider collects from you. For more information about the scope, type, and purpose of data processing and about rights and possible settings for protecting your privacy, please see the data privacy statements issued by the social network provider. You can call it up at the following address:
If you visit one of our pages that features a plugin from Vimeo, a connection to Vimeo’s servers is established. When this happens, the Vimeo server is informed about which of our pages you have visited. Vimeo also receives your IP address. This applies even if you are not logged into Vimeo and do not have an account with Vimeo. The information Vimeo records is transmitted to Vimeo’s servers in the USA.
If you are logged into your Vimeo account, you enable Vimeo to assign your surfing behavior directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your Vimeo account.
You can find additional information about how user data is handled in Vimeo’s privacy policy at: https://vimeo.com/privacy.

Every person affected has the right to information pursuant to Art. 15 of the GDPR, the right to correction pursuant to Art. 16 of the GDPR, the right to deletion pursuant to Art. 17 of the GDPR, the right to restriction of processing pursuant to Art. 18 of the GDPR, the right to objection issuing from Art. 21 of the GDPR, and the right to data transferability issuing from Art. 20 of the GDPR.

Pursuant to Art. 21 Para. 1 S. 1 of the GDPR, you have the right to file an objection against the processing of your personal data based upon Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 e or f of the GDPR at all times. Please note that the objection shall be effective only for the future. It shall not impact any processing that took place before the objection.
If any necessary reasons that are worthy of protection speak in favor of processing on our part and outweigh your interests, rights, and freedoms, or if the processing serves to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims, no objection shall be possible.
Our websites may contain links to other websites. We would like to indicate that this data privacy policy applies only to the websites of KNF DAC GmbH. We exert no influence over other sites and do not monitor whether other providers comply with the applicable data protection legislation.
