Collection and Processing of Personal Data
In general, you can visit the KORU Development webpages without us requiring any personal data from you. We only receive information about which IP address retrieved which page at which time. This information is analyzed for statistical purposes. The individual visitor remains anonymous.
On some pages, you can enter personal data such as your name and address in input fields. These data are only processed for correspondence with you and for the purpose for which you provided the data to us. If you contact us via a form, the information you provide will be transmitted in encrypted form. In this way, misuse of the data by third parties is prevented.
Access Data/Server Log Files
KORU Development collects data on each access to the offering (so-called server log files). Access data include the following:
Name of the retrieved webpage, file, date and time of retrieval, transmitted data volume, notification of successful retrieval, browser type and version, operating system of the user, referrer URL (last page visited), IP address, and requesting provide.
KORU Development only uses log data for statistical analysis for the purpose of operation, security, and optimization of the offering. However, KORU Development reserves the right to examine log data retroactively if there is a justified suspicion of unlawful use based on concrete grounds.
Handling of Personal Data
“Personal data” means information that can be used to identify a person, i.e., information that can be traced back to a specific person. Names, e-mail addresses, and telephone numbers are all personal data. Data on preferences, hobbies, memberships, or webpages viewed by a person are also considered to be personal data.
Personal data are only collected, used, and passed on by KORU Development if this is legally permitted or the user consents to collection of the data.
SSL Encryption
To protect the privacy of your data during transmission, we use encryption methods corresponding to the current state of the art (e.g., SSL) via HTTPS.
Contact to KORU Development
We collect personal data communicated to us by you on your own initiative, for example, when you contact us. We of course only use the personal data transmitted to us in this way for the purpose for which you provided us with the data when contacting us.
Communication of this information is done explicitly on a voluntary basis and with your consent. As far as it involves information on communication channels (for example, e-mail address and/or telephone number), you also consent to us contacting you via these communication channels in order to respond to your inquiry.

Integration of Third-Party Services and Content
Third-party content, which may include, for example, YouTube videos, Google Maps materials, Google fonts, or graphics from other websites may be integrated into this online offering. This always requires that the providers of this content (hereinafter referred to as “third-party providers”) have knowledge of the IP address of the user because they could not send the content to the respective user’s browser without the IP address. The IP address is hence necessary for display of this content. We strive to use only content whose respective providers use the IP address solely for the delivery of the content. However, we have no influence over whether or not the third-party providers, e.g., save the IP address for statistical purposes. We will notify the users accordingly if we become aware of this.
YouTube: We use YouTube’s “extended data protection mode” to embed videos. A cookie that, according to YouTube, contains no personal information will only be saved on your computer when you play the video. More information on the collection and use of data can be found in the YouTube Privacy Policy at www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/.
This website uses the Google Maps API for visually representing geographical information. When Google Maps is used, Google also collects, processes, and uses data on the use of the map features by users. More information on data processing by Google can be found in Google’s Privacy Policy. You can also change your personal data privacy settings there in the privacy center.
Google Fonts: To render our content correctly and graphically appealingly across browsers, we use script libraries and font libraries such as Google fonts (www.google.com/webfonts/) on this website. Google fonts are transferred to your browser’s cache so that they don’t have to be loaded multiple times. If the browser does not support Google fonts or denies access, the content is displayed in a standard font.
Calling of script libraries or font libraries automatically triggers connection to the operator of the library. It is theoretically possible for operators of the corresponding libraries to collect data – although it is not clear as to whether or not and, if so, for which purposes they would do so.
The Privacy Policy of the library operator Google can be found at www.google.com/policies/privacy.

We do not process special categories of personal data unless these are part of commissioned processing. This includes our customers, prospects, their customers, users, website visitors or employees, as well as third parties. The purpose of the processing is to provide contractual services, billing and our customer service. The legal basis for processing results from Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO (contractual services), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO (analysis, statistics, optimisation, safety measures). KORU Development processes data which are necessary to justify and fulfil the contractual services and points out the necessity of their disclosure. Disclosure to external parties only takes place if it is necessary within the framework of an order. When processing the data provided to us within the scope of an order, we act in accordance with the instructions of the client and the legal requirements for order processing pursuant to Art. 28 DSGVO and process the data for no other purposes than those stipulated in the order.

The necessity of data storage is checked every three years; in the case of statutory archiving obligations, deletion takes place after their expiry (6 years, in accordance with § 257 para. 1 HGB, 10 years, in accordance with § 147 para. 1 AO). In the case of data disclosed to us within the scope of an order by the customer, we delete the data in accordance with the specifications of the order, generally after the end of the order.

Use of Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a Web analysis service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called cookies, which are text files saved on your computer to enable analysis of your use of the website. The information on your use of this website generated by the cookie is usually transferred to and saved on a Google server in the US. However, within the Member States of the European Union or other contracting parties to the European Economic Area, your IP address is first truncated by Google due to the activation of IP anonymization on this website. The complete IP address is only transmitted to and truncated on a Google server in the US in exceptional cases. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google uses this information to analyze your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide additional services associated with the website use and internet use to the website operator. The IP address transmitted from your browser using Google Analytics is not merged with other data from Google.
You can prevent cookies from being saved by making the appropriate setting on your browser; however, if you disable cookies, you may not be able to use all of the features of this website. In addition, you can prevent the collection of cookie data related to your use of the website (including your IP address) for Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available under the following link: browser add-on for deactivation of Google Analytics.
Additionally or as an alternative to the browser add-on, you can prevent tracking by Google Analytics on our pages by clicking on the link. This causes an opt-out cookie to be installed on your device. This prevents future data collection by Google Analytics for this website and this browser as long as the cookie remains installed in your browser.
Use of Google Remarketing
This website uses Google Inc.’s remarketing feature. The feature is used to present personalized ads to visitors of websites in the Google ad network. A cookie that allows the visitor to be recognized again when he or she retrieves websites that are in the Google ad network is stored in the website visitor’s browser. On these sites, the visitor can be presented with ads relating to content that the visitor retrieved previously on websites that use Google’s remarketing feature.
Google states that it does not collect any personal data during this process. Nevertheless, if you do not want Google’s remarketing feature, you can deactivate it by making the corresponding settings at https://www.google.com/settings/ads. Alternatively, you can deactivate the use of cookies for personalized ads via the Network Advertising Initiative by following the instructions at https://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp.
