Data transfer to third parties
We would like to point out that when using our website, data may be transmitted.
Data transfer to a third country or an international organization
A third country is to be understood as countries in which the GDPR is not directly applicable law. In principle, this includes all countries outside the EU or the European Economic Area. There is no automatic transfer of data to a third country or an international organization without a legal basis. In the case of a planned data transfer to a third country, consent is obtained in advance in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) and Art. 7 GDPR. This can be revoked at any time with effect for the future. Appropriate settings must be made here.
Retention period of your personal data
We adhere to the principles of data economy and data avoidance. This means that we only store your data for as long as necessary to fulfil the aforementioned purposes or as stipulated by the various storage periods provided for by law. If the respective purpose does not apply or after the expiry of the corresponding periods, your data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the legal regulations. For this purpose, we have created an internal company concept to ensure this approach.

By contacting us via the website, you agree to electronic communication. Personal data is processed as part of the electronic contact with us. The information you provide will be stored exclusively for the purpose of processing the enquiry and for possible follow-up questions.
We would like to give you the legal basis for this:
• Processing for the performance of our services and implementation of (pre-)contractual measures, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR
We would like to point out that e-mails can be read or changed during transmission without authorization and without being noticed. Furthermore, we would like to draw your attention to the fact that we use software to filter unsolicited e-mails (spam filters). The spam filter can reject e-mails if they have been incorrectly identified as spam by certain characteristics.

Newsletters
If you subscribe to our e-mail newsletter, we will regularly send you information about our offers. Personal data is collected for this purpose. The only mandatory information for sending the newsletter is your e-mail address. The provision of any further data is voluntary and will be used to address you personally. This data will be used by us for our own advertising purposes in the form of the e-mail newsletter, provided that you have expressly consented to it as follows:
“Yes, I would like to subscribe to the newsletter! I have taken note of the privacy policy”
We use the so-called double opt-in procedure to send the newsletter. This means that we will only send you an e-mail newsletter if you have expressly confirmed to us that you consent to the sending of the newsletter. We will then send you a confirmation e-mail asking you to confirm that you wish to receive the newsletter in the future by clicking on the corresponding link.
By activating the confirmation link, you give us your consent for the use of your personal data in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. When you register for the newsletter, we store your IP address entered by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) as well as the date and time of registration in order to be able to trace possible misuse of your email address at a later date.
You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time via the link provided in the newsletter or by sending us an e-mail marketing@iwk.de. After unsubscribing, your e-mail address will be deleted immediately from our newsletter distribution list and included in a blocking file to ensure revocation.
Newsletter tracking: If you have given your express consent in advance, newsletter tracking (also known as web beacons or tracking pixels) will be used. When the newsletter is delivered, the external server can then record certain data of the recipient, e.g. the time of access, the IP address or information about the e-mail program used (client). The name of the image file is individualized for each email recipient by appending a unique ID. The email sender remembers which ID belongs to which email address and can thus determine which newsletter recipient has just opened the email when the image is retrieved.
With newsletter tracking, user behavior is recorded pseudonymously. This is the following pseudonymized data: recipients, recipients minus bounces, recipients in queue, recipients skipped, unique unsubscribe rate, unique unsubscribes, bounce rate, bounces (of which hard and soft bounces), unique open rate, unique opens, open rate, opens, unique click-through rate, unique clicks, click-through rate, clicks, effective unique click-through rate, clicks to segment target groups.

Use of Google Analytics
If you have given your consent, Google Analytics is used on this website, a web analysis service provided by Google LLC. The responsible service provider in the EU is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”).
Through the use of Google Analytics on our website, we are joint controllers with Google within the meaning of Art. 26 GDPR. However, since Google does not offer to conclude a joint responsibility agreement in accordance with Art. 26 GDPR, such a contract could not be concluded.
Scope of Processing
Google Analytics uses cookies that enable an analysis of your use of our websites. The information collected by the cookies about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
We use the User ID function. The User ID allows us to assign a unique, persistent ID to one or more sessions (and the activities within those sessions) and analyze user behavior across devices.
We use Google Signals. This collects additional information in Google Analytics about users who have personalized ads enabled (interests and demographics) and allows ads to be delivered to those users in cross-device remarketing campaigns.
We use the ‘anonymizeIP’ function (so-called IP masking): Due to the activation of IP anonymization on this website, your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data held by Google.
During your visit to the website, the following data is collected, among others:
Purposes of processing
On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website and to compile reports on website activity.

Recipients

as part of a joint responsibility with the website operators. We have not concluded a joint responsibility agreement with Google, as Google does not provide it.
Google LLC based in California, USA, and US authorities may have access to the data stored by Google (Patriot Act). As a result, there is a high risk if the user consents to tracking by Google Analytics.
Changes to our privacy policy
We reserve the right to adapt our data protection information at short notice so that it always meets the current legal requirements or to implement changes to our services. This can be done, for example. the introduction of new services. The new data protection information will then apply to your return visit.
