Privacy policy
Thank you for your interest in our company. Data protection is a particularly high priority for the management of the KBM Group. In general, you can use the KBM Group website without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to make use of special services offered by our company via our website, it may be necessary to process personal data. Where it is necessary to process personal data, and if there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain consent from the data subject.
The processing of personal data, for example the name, address, email address or phone number of a data subject, is always carried out in accordance with the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to the KBM Group. By means of this privacy policy, our company wishes to inform the public of the nature, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, this privacy policy informs data subjects about their rights.
The KBM Group, as the data controller, has implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data processed via this website is protected as completely as possible. Nevertheless, in principle there may be security gaps in internet-based data transmissions, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by phone.
