This privacy statement complies with the legal requirements for transparency in the processing of personal data. This is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, information such as your name, age, address, telephone number, date of birth, email address, IP address or user behaviour when visiting a website. Information for which we cannot (or can only with disproportionate effort) establish a link to your person, e.g. through anonymisation, is not personal data. The processing of personal data (e.g. collection, retrieval, use, storage or transmission) always requires a legal basis and a defined purpose.
Stored personal data are deleted as soon as the purpose of the processing has been achieved and there are no legitimate grounds for further retention of the data.
We will inform you in the individual processing operations about the specific storage periods or criteria for storage. Irrespective of this, we store your personal data in individual cases for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims and if there are statutory retention obligations.
We only disclose your personal data that we process on our website to third parties if this is necessary for the fulfilment of the purposes and is covered by the legal basis in the individual case (e.g. consent or safeguarding legitimate interests). In addition, we disclose personal data to third parties in individual cases if this serves the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims. Possible recipients may then be, for example, law enforcement agencies, lawyers, auditors, courts, etc.
Insofar as we use service providers for the operation of our website who process personal data on our behalf within the scope of commissioned processing pursuant to Art. 28 DSGVO, they may be recipients of your personal data. You can find more information on the use of processors and web services in the overview of the individual processing operations.
Cookies are small text files that are sent by us to the browser of your end device when you visit our website and are stored there. As an alternative to the use of cookies, information can also be stored in the local storage of your browser. Some functions of our website cannot be offered without the use of cookies or local storage (technically necessary cookies). Other cookies, however, enable us to carry out various analyses, so that we are able, for example, to recognise the browser you are using when you visit our website again and to transmit various information to us (non-essential cookies). With the help of cookies, we can, among other things, make our website more user-friendly and effective for you, for example by tracking your use of our website and determining your preferred settings (e.g. country and language settings). If third parties process information via cookies, they collect the information directly via your browser. Cookies do not cause any damage to your end device. They cannot execute programs or contain viruses.
We provide information about the respective services for which we use cookies in the individual processing operations. Detailed information on the cookies used can be found in the cookie settings of this privacy policy / Consent Manager.
Under the conditions of the statutory provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO) and the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG), you have the following rights as a data subject:
In the following, we inform you about the individual processing operations, the scope and purpose of the data processing, the legal basis, the obligation to provide your data and the respective storage period. An automated decision in individual cases, including profiling, does not take place.
Nature and scope of the processing
When you call up and use our website, we collect the personal data that your browser automatically transmits to our server. The following information is temporarily stored in a so-called log file:
Our website is not hosted by ourselves, but by a service provider who processes the aforementioned data on our behalf in accordance with Art. 28 DSGVO for the purpose of providing the website.
The processing is carried out to protect our overriding legitimate interest in displaying our website and guaranteeing security and stability on the basis of Art. 6 para. lit. f DSGVO. The collection of data and storage in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. There is no right to object to the processing due to the exception under Art. 21 (1) DSGVO. Insofar as the further storage of log files is required by law, the processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c DSGVO. There is no legal or contractual obligation to provide the data, however, calling up our website is not technically possible without providing the data.
The aforementioned data is stored for the duration of the website display and for technical reasons for a maximum of 7 days.
Nature and scope of the processing
On our website, we offer you the opportunity to contact us via the e-mail address info@kico.de. The information collected via submission with first name, last name, address, etc. is necessary to be able to process the request.

The processing of your data by using the e-mail address is carried out for the purpose of communication and processing your enquiry on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. a DSGVO. Insofar as your enquiry relates to an existing contractual relationship with us, the processing is carried out for the purpose of fulfilling the contract on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO. There is no legal or contractual obligation to provide your data, but the processing of your request is not possible without the provision of the information of the mandatory fields. Insofar as you do not wish to provide this data, please contact us by other means.
Insofar as you use the e-mail address on the basis of your consent, we store the data collected for each enquiry for a period of three years, starting with the completion of your enquiry or until you revoke your consent.
If you use the e-mail address within the framework of a contractual relationship, we store the data collected for each enquiry for a period of ten years from the end of the contractual relationship.

On our website, we offer you the opportunity to submit an application to us via the e-mail address bewerbung@kico.de. The information, such as first name, last name, address, CV details, certificates, etc., that is collected is necessary in order to be able to process the request. Furthermore, you can voluntarily provide additional information that you consider necessary for processing the application.
If you have given us your separate, independent consent, we will pass on your application to our affiliated companies.
No information will be passed on to third parties.
The processing of your data based on the use of the e-mail address is carried out for the purpose of processing your application and deciding on the establishment of an employment relationship on the basis of § 26 BDSG. There is no legal or contractual obligation to provide your data, but it is not possible to process your application without providing the information in the mandatory fields. If you do not wish to provide this data, please use other options for applying to us.
We store the data collected for the duration of the application process and, in the event of non-employment, for six months from the date of rejection and, in the event of employment, for three years after the end of employment.
We maintain so-called fan pages or accounts or channels on the networks mentioned below in order to provide you with information and offers also within social networks and to offer you further ways to contact us and to inform yourself about our offers. In the following, we will inform you about which data we or the respective social network process from you in connection with calling up and using our fan pages/accounts.
If you wish to contact us via messenger or direct message via the respective social network, we generally process your user name via which you contact us and, if applicable, store further data provided by you insofar as this is necessary to process/respond to your request.
The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 f) DSGVO (processing is necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the controller).
We receive automated statistics regarding our accounts via Insights functionalities. The statistics include, among other things, the total number of page views, likes, details of page activities and post interactions, reach, video views and details of the proportion of men/women among our fans/followers.
The statistics only contain aggregated data that cannot be related to individual persons. You are not identifiable to us through this.
In order to view the content of our fan pages or accounts, you do not have to be a member of the respective social network and, in this respect, no user account is required for the respective social network.
Please note, however, that the social networks also collect and store data from website visitors without a user account when the respective social network is called up (e.g. technical data in order to be able to display the website to you) and use cookies and similar technologies, over which we have no control. For details, please refer to the privacy policy of the respective social network (see the corresponding links above).
Insofar as you wish to interact with the content on our fan pages/accounts, e.g. comment on, share or like our postings/contributions and/or contact us via messenger functions, prior registration with the respective social network and the provision of personal data is required.
We have no influence on the data processing by the social networks within the scope of their use by you. To our knowledge, your data is stored and processed in particular in connection with the provision of the services of the respective social network, as well as for the analysis of user behaviour (using cookies, pixels/web beacons and similar technologies), on the basis of which advertising based on your interests is played both within and outside the respective social network. It cannot be ruled out that your data will be stored by the social networks outside the EU/EEA and passed on to third parties.
Information on, among other things, the exact scope and purposes of the processing of your personal data, the storage period/deletion as well as guidelines on the use of cookies and similar technologies in the context of registration and use of the social networks can be found in the privacy policy/cookie policy of the social networks. There you will also find information on your rights and objection options.
When you visit our Facebook page, Facebook collects, among other things, your IP address and other information that is present on your PC in the form of cookies.
This information is used to provide us, as operators of the Facebook pages, with statistical information about the use of the Facebook page. Facebook provides more detailed information on this under the following link: https://facebook.com/help/pages/insights.
We are not able to draw conclusions about individual users by means of the statistical information transmitted. We only use this information to respond to the interests of our users and to continuously improve our online presence and ensure its quality.
We collect your data via our fan page only in order to realise a possible provision for communication and interaction with us. This collection usually includes your name, message content, comment content and the profile information you provide “publicly”.
The processing of your personal data for our above-mentioned purposes is based on our legitimate business and communicative interest in offering an information and communication channel pursuant to Art. 6 (1) f) DSGVO. Should you, as a user, have given your consent to the data processing vis-à-vis the respective provider of the social network, the legal basis of the processing extends to Art. 6 para. 1 a), Art. 7 DSGVO.
Due to the fact that the actual data processing is carried out by the provider of the social network, our access to your data is limited. Only the provider of the social network is authorised to fully access your data. Because of this, only the provider can directly take and implement appropriate measures to fulfil your user rights (information request, deletion request, objection, etc.). The most effective way to assert your rights is therefore to contact the provider directly.
We are jointly responsible with Facebook for the personal content of the fan page. Data subject rights can be asserted with Facebook Ireland as well as with us.
The primary responsibility for the processing of Insights data lies with Facebook under the GDPR and Facebook complies with all obligations under the GDPR in relation to the processing of Insights data, Facebook Ireland provides the essence of the Page Insights Supplement to data subjects.
We do not make any decisions regarding the processing of Insights data and all other information resulting from Art. 13 GDPR, including legal basis, identity of the controller and storage period of cookies on user terminals.
