Processing is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The legitimate interest is the secure and reliable provision of this website.
4. Server log files and technical access data
When the website is accessed, technical data such as IP address, date and time of access, requested file, transferred data volume, browser and operating system information and referrer information may be processed in server log files. This data is required to deliver the website, detect technical errors and ensure operational security.
5. Email contact
If you contact me by email, the information you send is processed to handle the request. This includes your email address, the content of the message and any other information you voluntarily provide.
If your request concerns a contract or pre-contractual measures, processing is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Other requests are processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The legitimate interest is the proper handling of the request. Data is deleted once the request has been fully handled and no statutory retention obligations apply.
6. External links
This website contains links to external websites, including Coffee Rings, the Apple App Store, Google Play, LinkedIn and providers mentioned in recommendations. Loading this website does not transfer data to those providers through normal text links. LinkedIn content, badges, plugins, tracking pixels or scripts are not embedded on mkknop.de. When you click an external link, you leave mkknop.de and the privacy policy of the destination provider applies.
7. Affiliate links
Some links on mkknop.de are marked as affiliate links. mkknop.de does not use its own affiliate tracking pixels, embedded affiliate scripts or affiliate cookies. If you click such a link, technical data may be transmitted to the destination provider or an involved affiliate platform so that a possible purchase can be attributed. More information is available in the affiliate disclosure and from the respective provider.
8. Links to the Apple App Store and Google Play
Store badges are served locally by mkknop.de. Merely loading the page does not trigger a request to Apple or Google. The respective website or store is accessed only when you click a store link.
9. No analytics or advertising cookies of our own
mkknop.de does not set analytics or advertising cookies and does not use its own tracking.
10. Data subject rights
Within the statutory requirements, you have rights to access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and objection to certain processing operations.
11. Storage period
Personal data is stored only as long as required for the respective purpose or as long as statutory retention periods apply. Email inquiries are deleted once processing is complete and no retention obligations apply.
12. Right to lodge a complaint
You have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority if you believe that personal data is being processed in violation of data protection law. For Hamburg, the competent authority is the Hamburg Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information.
