We are very pleased about your interest in our company. Data protection is of a particularly high priority for the management of NKTEK GmbH. The use of the internet pages of NKTEK GmbH is generally possible without any indication of personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to use special services of our enterprise via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no statutory basis for such processing, we generally obtain consent from the data subject.
The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, email address, or telephone number of a data subject, shall always be in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to NKTEK GmbH. By means of this data protection declaration, our enterprise would like to inform the general public of the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed, by means of this data protection declaration, of the rights to which they are entitled.
As the controller, NKTEK GmbH has implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible for personal data processed through this website. However, internet-based data transmissions may generally have security vulnerabilities, meaning absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transfer personal data to us via alternative means, e.g., by telephone.
The data protection declaration of NKTEK GmbH is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our data protection declaration should be legible and understandable for the general public, as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to first explain the terminology used.
In this data protection declaration, we use, among others, the following terms:
Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter "data subject"). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person.
Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person, whose personal data is processed by the controller responsible for the processing.
Processing means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.
Restriction of processing means the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their processing in the future.
Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.
Pseudonymisation means the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
Controller or controller responsible for the processing means the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data; where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.
Processor means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
Recipient means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body, to which the personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients; the processing of those data by those public authorities shall be in compliance with the applicable data protection rules according to the purposes of the processing.
Third party means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorised to process personal data.
Consent of the data subject means any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

The internet pages of NKTEK GmbH do not use any tracking or advertising cookies. Therefore, it is possible to use our website without any cookie consent.
We do not use third-party cookies or cookies for advertising purposes. Furthermore, no cookies are transmitted to services outside the EU. The web analysis tool Matomo used on this website is configured in such a way that it does not store any analysis cookies in your browser during normal operation (see section 10). Only if you use the opt-out function on the data protection page below, Matomo will store technically necessary first-party cookies in your browser: the opt-out cookie (matomo_ignore), which saves your decision against data collection, and, if applicable, a CSRF protection cookie (matomo_sessid) to secure the opt-out function. These cookies do not contain any personal data and are technically necessary to save your opt-out decision. You can delete them at any time, but you may then have to reactivate the opt-out.
Furthermore, we use so-called "sessionStorage" on specific pages for the processing of inputs in multi-step forms (e.g., in the pilot programme request form and the contact form). According to the definition of the TDDDG, sessionStorage is not a cookie: the data is kept exclusively within the current browser tab, is not transmitted to our servers, and is automatically deleted as soon as you close the tab. No storage occurs beyond the browser session.
Additionally, we store your language selection (German or English) in the "localStorage" of your browser so that the website is displayed directly in your chosen language during future visits. According to the definition of the TDDDG, localStorage is also not a cookie: the data remains exclusively in your browser, is not transmitted to our servers, and is not passed on to third parties. When you first visit the homepage, we will automatically redirect you to the appropriate language version based on the language set in your browser, provided no selection has been made yet. You can delete this storage at any time by clearing the local storage data for our website in your browser.
If you wish to deactivate data collection by Matomo, please use the opt-out checkbox below. Upon activation, only the above-mentioned technically necessary opt-out cookies (matomo_ignore and, if applicable, matomo_sessid) will be stored in your browser to save your decision against tracking. If you delete your cookies, these opt-out cookies will also be removed, and you may have to reactivate the opt-out.
The website of NKTEK GmbH collects a series of general data and information when a data subject or automated system calls up the website. This general data and information are stored in the server log files. Collected may be (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-websites which are accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) any other similar data and information that may be used in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
When using these general data and information, NKTEK GmbH does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website as well as its advertising, (3) ensure the continuous functionality of our information technology systems and website technology, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in case of a cyber-attack. Therefore, NKTEK GmbH analyses anonymously collected data and information statistically, with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our enterprise, and to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.
This website is hosted externally. The personal data collected on this website is stored on the servers of the hosting provider. This may include, but is not limited to, IP addresses, contact requests, metadata and communications data, contract data, contact information, names, website access, and other data generated through a website.
The external hosting is carried out for the purpose of fulfilling the contract with our potential and existing customers (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) and in the interest of a secure, fast, and efficient provision of our online services by a professional provider (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). If a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing takes place exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user’s terminal device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. The consent can be revoked at any time.
Our hosting provider will only process your data to the extent necessary to fulfill its performance obligations and to follow our instructions with respect to such data.
We use the following hosting provider:
netcup GmbH
Daimlerstr. 25
76185 Karlsruhe
Germany
We have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) for the use of the above-mentioned service. This is a contract mandated by data protection law that guarantees that the provider processes the personal data of our website visitors only based on our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.
On the website of NKTEK GmbH, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our enterprise’s newsletter. The input mask used for this purpose determines what personal data are transmitted to the controller when the newsletter is ordered.
NKTEK GmbH informs its customers and business partners at regular intervals by means of a newsletter about enterprise offers. The enterprise’s newsletter may only be received by the data subject if (1) the data subject has a valid email address and (2) the data subject registers for the newsletter shipping. A confirmation email will be sent to the email address registered by a data subject for the first time for newsletter shipping, for legal reasons, in the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation email is used to prove whether the owner of the email address as the data subject has authorised the receipt of the newsletter.
During the registration for the newsletter, we also store the IP address of the computer system assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) and used by the data subject at the time of the registration, as well as the date and time of the registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to understand the (possible) misuse of the email address of a data subject at a later date, and it therefore serves the aim of the legal protection of the controller.
The personal data collected as part of a registration for the newsletter will only be used to send our newsletter. In addition, subscribers to the newsletter may be informed by email, as long as this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a registration in question, as this could be the case in the event of modifications to the newsletter offer, or in the event of a change in technical circumstances. There will be no transfer of personal data collected by the newsletter service to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter may be terminated by the data subject at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data, which the data subject has given for shipping the newsletter, may be revoked at any time. For the purpose of revocation of consent, a corresponding link is found in each newsletter. It is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on the website of the controller, or to communicate this to the controller in a different way.
The newsletters of NKTEK GmbH contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in such emails, which are sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and analysis. This allows a statistical analysis of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, NKTEK GmbH may see if and when an email was opened by a data subject, and which links in the email were called up by data subjects.
Such personal data collected in the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and analysed by the controller in order to optimize the shipping of the newsletter, as well as to adapt the content of future newsletters even better to the interests of the data subject. These personal data will not be passed on to third parties. Data subjects are at any time entitled to revoke the respective separate declaration of consent issued by means of the double-opt-in procedure. After a revocation, these personal data will be deleted by the controller. NKTEK GmbH automatically regards a withdrawal from the receipt of the newsletter as a revocation.
Due to legal regulations, the website of NKTEK GmbH contains information that enables a quick electronic contact to our enterprise, as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail (email address). If a data subject contacts the controller by email or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject are automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the data controller are stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. There is no transfer of this personal data to third parties.
The data controller shall process and store the personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or as far as this is granted by the European legislator or other legislators in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject to.
If the storage purpose is not applicable, or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data are routinely blocked or erased in accordance with legal requirements.
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller the confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning him or her are being processed. If a data subject wishes to avail himself or herself of this right of confirmation, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller.
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller free information about his or her personal data stored at any time and a copy of this information. Furthermore, the European directives and regulations grant the data subject access to the following information:
• the purposes of the processing.
• the categories of personal data concerned.
• the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries or international organisations.
• where possible, the envisaged period for which the personal data will be stored, or, if not possible, the criteria used to determine that period.
• the existence of the right to request from the controller rectification or erasure of personal data, or restriction of processing of personal data concerning the data subject, or to object to such processing.
• the existence of the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
• where the personal data are not collected from the data subject, any available information as to their source.
• the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, referred to in Article 22(1) and (4) of the GDPR and, at least in those cases, meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject.
Furthermore, the data subject shall have a right to obtain information as to whether personal data are transferred to a third country or to an international organisation. Where this is the case, the data subject shall have the right to be informed of the appropriate safeguards relating to the transfer.
If a data subject wishes to avail himself or herself of this right of access, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller.
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning him or her. Taking into account the purposes of the processing, the data subject shall have the right to have incomplete personal data completed, including by means of providing a supplementary statement.
If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller.
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay, where one of the following grounds applies, as long as the processing is not necessary:
• The personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
• The data subject withdraws consent on which the processing is based according to point (a) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR, or point (a) of Article 9(2) of the GDPR, and where there is no other legal ground for the processing.
• The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) of the GDPR.
• The personal data have been unlawfully processed.
• The personal data must be erased for compliance with a legal obligation in Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.
• The personal data have been collected in relation to the offer of information society services referred to in Article 8(1) of the GDPR.
If one of the aforementioned reasons applies, and a data subject wishes to request the erasure of personal data stored by NKTEK GmbH, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller. The employee of NKTEK GmbH shall promptly ensure that the erasure request is complied with immediately.
Where the controller has made personal data public and is obliged pursuant to Article 17(1) of the GDPR to erase the personal data, NKTEK GmbH, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform other controllers processing the personal data that the data subject has requested erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data, as far as processing is not required. The employee of NKTEK GmbH will arrange the necessary measures in individual cases.
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller restriction of processing where one of the following applies:
• The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
• The processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests the restriction of their use instead.
• The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but they are required by the data subject for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
• The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.
If one of the aforementioned conditions is met, and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of the processing of personal data stored by NKTEK GmbH, he or she may at any time contact any employee of the controller. The employee of NKTEK GmbH will arrange the restriction of the processing.
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator, to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which was provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. He or she shall have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided, as long as the processing is based on consent pursuant to point (a) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR or point (a) of Article 9(2) of the GDPR, or on a contract pursuant to point (b) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR, and the processing is carried out by automated means, as long as the processing is not necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
Furthermore, in exercising his or her right to data portability pursuant to Article 20(1) of the GDPR, the data subject shall have the right to have personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and when doing so does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.
To assert the right to data portability, the data subject may at any time contact any employee of NKTEK GmbH.
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to object, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, at any time, to processing of personal data concerning him or her, which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
NKTEK GmbH shall no longer process the personal data in the event of the objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
If NKTEK GmbH processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject shall have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her for such marketing. This applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to NKTEK GmbH to the processing for direct marketing purposes, NKTEK GmbH will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.
In addition, the data subject has the right, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, to object to processing of personal data concerning him or her by NKTEK GmbH for scientific or historical research purposes, or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) of the GDPR, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.
In order to exercise the right to object, the data subject may directly contact any employee of NKTEK GmbH or another employee. In addition, in the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, the data subject may exercise his or her right to object by automated means using technical specifications.
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her, or similarly significantly affects him or her, as long as the decision (1) is not necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data controller, or (2) is not authorised by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or (3) is not based on the data subject’s explicit consent.
If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data controller, or (2) it is based on the data subject’s explicit consent, NKTEK GmbH shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and contest the decision.
If the data subject wishes to exercise the rights concerning automated individual decision-making, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller.
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to withdraw his or her consent to processing of his or her personal data at any time.
If the data subject wishes to exercise the right to withdraw the consent, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller.
This website uses the open-source web analysis service Matomo.
With the help of Matomo, we are able to collect and analyse data about the use of our website by website visitors. This allows us to find out, among other things, when which page views occurred and from which region they come. In addition, we collect various log files (e.g., IP address, referrer, browsers, and operating systems used) and can measure whether our website visitors perform certain actions (e.g., clicks, purchases, and similar actions). The use of this analysis tool is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behaviour in order to optimize both its website and its advertising. If a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing takes place exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user’s terminal device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. The consent can be revoked at any time.
Furthermore, we implement the "DoNotTrack" function: If you have activated the "Do not track" setting in your browser, data collection by Matomo is automatically stopped.
When analyzing with Matomo, we use IP anonymisation. Your IP address is shortened before the analysis, so that it can no longer be clearly assigned to you.
We have configured Matomo (client-side via disableCookies and server-side) so that no analysis cookies are stored in your browser during normal operation. No cookies are passed on to third parties either. Matomo collects the data required for the analysis (e.g., IP address, referrer, browsers, and operating systems used) exclusively in the server log file. There is no recognition across multiple sessions. Only if you activate the opt-out checkbox below, technically necessary first-party cookies are stored in your browser: the opt-out cookie (matomo_ignore), which prompts Matomo not to track you, and, if applicable, a CSRF protection cookie (matomo_sessid) to secure the opt-out function. Both cookies contain no personal data and do not interfere with normal analysis operations – they are set exclusively in the course of exercising your right to opt-out.
We host Matomo exclusively on our own servers at netcup GmbH (Daimlerstr. 25, 76185 Karlsruhe, Germany), so that all analysis data remains with us and is not passed on to third parties. There is no transfer to third countries outside the EU.
You have the option to deactivate data collection by Matomo at any time. To do so, please use the checkbox below. Upon activation, only the aforementioned technically necessary first-party cookies (matomo_ignore to store your opt-out decision and, if applicable, matomo_sessid for CSRF protection) will be stored in your browser. These prevent your data from being collected by Matomo. If you delete your cookies, these opt-out cookies will also be removed, and you may have to reactivate the opt-out.
Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, as is the case, for example, when processing operations are necessary for the supply of goods or to provide any other service, the processing is based on Article 6(1) lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations which are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries concerning our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation by which processing of personal data is required, such as for the fulfilment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6(1) lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6(1) lit. d GDPR.
Finally, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal grounds, if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data. Such processing operations are particularly permissible because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. He considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a client of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).
Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR, our legitimate interest is to carry out our business in favor of the well-being of all our employees and the shareholders.
The criterion used to determine the period of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiration of that period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, as long as it is no longer necessary for the fulfilment of the contract or the initiation of a contract.
We inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g., tax regulations) or can also result from contractual provisions (e.g., information on the contractual partner).
Occasionally, it may be necessary for the conclusion of a contract that a data subject provides us with personal data, which must subsequently be processed by us. The data subject is, for example, obliged to provide us with personal data when our company concludes a contract with him or her. The non-provision of the personal data would have the consequence that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded.
Before personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee clarifies to the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and what the consequences of non-provision of the personal data would be.
NKTEK GmbH maintains publicly accessible profiles on social networks. The specific social networks we use can be found below. We rely on the technical platforms and the services of the providers mentioned below for the information services offered there. We would like to point out that you use the services offered there and their functions on your own responsibility. This applies in particular to the use of interactive functions (e.g., commenting, sharing, rating).
NKTEK GmbH also processes your data within the framework of the use of our social media channels. Although we generally do not collect any data ourselves via our accounts (tracking), the data you enter on the social networks, in particular your username and the content published under your account, will be processed by us to the extent that we may share your posts or reply to them, or also write posts ourselves that refer to your account. The data freely published and distributed by you on the social networks is thus incorporated into our offering by NKTEK GmbH and made accessible to our followers. The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6(1) lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in public relations, communication with customers and interested parties, as well as the presentation of our company.
If you contact us via the messaging functions of the respective social networks (Direct Messages, Messenger), we process the username and the content of your message (including any attachments sent) in order to process your request. Important note: We expressly point out that communication via social networks can be insecure. Please do not send any sensitive personal data (e.g., application documents, bank details, health data) via direct messages.
We would like to point out that we have no influence on the nature and scope of the data processed by the providers of the social networks, the nature of the processing and use, or the disclosure of this data to third parties. We also have no effective control options in this respect. With the use of social networks, your personal data is collected, transferred, stored, disclosed and used by the respective providers and, regardless of your place of residence, transferred to and stored and used in the United States, Ireland and any other country in which the providers operate. On the one hand, the providers process the data you have voluntarily entered, such as name and username, email address or telephone number. On the other hand, the providers also analyse the content you share to determine which topics you are interested in, store and process confidential messages that you send directly to other users, and can determine your location based on GPS data, information on wireless networks or via your IP address in order to send you advertising or other content. The providers may use analysis tools for this evaluation. NKTEK GmbH has no influence on the use of such tools by the providers and was not informed about such potential use.
Insofar as the providers of the social media platforms provide us with statistical data (so-called "Insights"), this is only done in aggregated form, which does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about individual persons.
We maintain a profile on Instagram. The provider is Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland. Information on which data is processed by Instagram and Meta and for what purposes it is used can be found in Instagram’s privacy policy: https://privacycenter.instagram.com/policy/
You have the option to restrict the processing of your data in the general settings of your Instagram account as well as under the item "Privacy and security". If Meta transfers personal data outside the European Union (e.g., USA), Meta relies on the adequacy decisions of the EU or standard contractual clauses.
We maintain a profile on LinkedIn. The provider is LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland. When you visit our LinkedIn channel, LinkedIn 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 the operator of the LinkedIn pages, with statistical information about the use of the LinkedIn page.
Further information on this and LinkedIn’s privacy policy can be found at: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy
You can adjust your privacy settings on LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/guest-controls
