This Privacy Policy informs you about the processing of personal data when you visit and use the website ifkps.com.

2. General Information on Data Processing
We process personal data only to the extent necessary to provide this website, communicate with interested parties and customers, respond to enquiries, prepare or perform business relationships, and ensure the security and technical operation of our website.
Depending on the individual processing activity, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent), Article 6(1)(b) GDPR (steps prior to entering into a contract or performance of a contract), Article 6(1)(c) GDPR (legal obligation), or Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interests). Where we rely on legitimate interests, these interests are described in the relevant section below.
3. Hosting and Server Log Files
When you access this website, the web server or hosting provider may automatically process technical information required to deliver the website and maintain its security. This may include the IP address, date and time of access, requested page or file, referrer URL, browser type and version, operating system, device information and HTTP status information.
The processing is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interests are the secure, stable and technically reliable provision of the website, troubleshooting and protection against misuse and attacks.
- Hosting provider: ALL-INKL.COM – Neue Medien Münnich (kasserver.com)
- Hosting location: Germany (EU/EEA)
- Server-log retention period: as a rule a maximum of seven days (according to the hosting provider; longer storage only in individual cases, e.g. in the event of attacks)
If the hosting provider processes personal data on our behalf, an appropriate data-processing agreement is in place where legally required.
4. Contact Form, Email, Telephone and Business Enquiries
The website provides a contact form through which users may submit their name, email address, telephone number and message. We also receive enquiries by email, telephone and other direct business communication channels.
We process the information you provide in order to handle and respond to your enquiry, communicate with you, prepare quotations, clarify technical or commercial requirements, and, where applicable, initiate or perform a contractual relationship.
Where your enquiry relates to a potential or existing contract, processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. For other business enquiries, processing may be based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR; our legitimate interest is efficient business communication and responding to enquiries addressed to us.
Mandatory fields in the contact form are limited to information genuinely required to process the enquiry. The telephone number is optional.
Contact-form provider / processor: none – submissions are opened in the user’s email client (mailto:) and sent directly to office@ifkps.com for processing by IFKPS.
We retain enquiry data only for as long as necessary for the relevant communication or business purpose and thereafter only where statutory retention obligations or the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims require further storage.
5. Business and Contract Data
If an enquiry develops into a business relationship, we may process contact, company, project, contractual, technical, payment and correspondence data that is necessary to prepare, conclude and perform the relevant business relationship. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR and, where applicable, Article 6(1)(c) GDPR for statutory accounting, tax or commercial-law obligations.
Data relevant to statutory record-keeping obligations is retained for the period required by applicable law. Other project and contractual data is deleted when it is no longer required, subject to applicable limitation periods and legitimate requirements for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
6. Recipients of Personal Data
Personal data is disclosed only where this is necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, where a processor acts on our behalf, where disclosure is required by law, or where you have consented to it.
Potential recipients may include hosting and IT service providers, email and communication providers, professional advisers, banks and payment service providers, logistics or project partners where required for a specific transaction, and public authorities where we are legally obliged to provide information.
Service providers acting as processors receive personal data only within the scope of the relevant instructions and contractual arrangements.
7. Cookies and Similar Technologies
This website uses only technologies that are technically necessary for the operation and security of the website unless additional technologies are deliberately introduced.
Where information is stored on or accessed from a user’s terminal device, the requirements of Section 25 of the German Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act (TDDDG) apply. Consent is generally required for non-essential storage or access. Consent is not required where the storage or access is strictly necessary to provide a digital service expressly requested by the user or solely serves the transmission of a communication.
To remember the selected language (German/English), the website uses the browser’s localStorage. This serves solely to provide the language version requested by the user and is strictly necessary for that purpose. No marketing or analytics cookies are set.
If analytics, marketing, embedded third-party media or other non-essential technologies are added later, they must not be activated before any legally required consent has been obtained, and this Privacy Policy must be updated accordingly. No misleading marketing-cookie consent banner is shown while only technically necessary storage/access is used.
8. Transfers to Third Countries
Personal data is not intentionally transferred to countries outside the European Union (EU) or European Economic Area (EEA) unless this is necessary for a service or business relationship and the requirements of Chapter V GDPR are satisfied.
Hosting and email infrastructure are provided by ALL-INKL.COM on servers in Germany. Fonts (Google Fonts: IBM Plex Sans and Manrope) as well as Bootstrap and Bootstrap Icons are loaded via Google or the jsDelivr content delivery network; this may involve a connection to servers outside the EU/EEA. When an enquiry is sent via mailto:, the user’s own email provider may carry out processing outside our control.
9. Data Security
We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access. The website should be delivered using encrypted HTTPS/TLS connections.
Please note that data transmission over the internet cannot be guaranteed to be completely secure in every circumstance.
10. Your Rights
Subject to the statutory requirements, you have the right to request access to your personal data (Article 15 GDPR), rectification of inaccurate data (Article 16 GDPR), erasure (Article 17 GDPR), restriction of processing (Article 18 GDPR), and data portability (Article 20 GDPR).
Where processing is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, you may object to the processing on grounds relating to your particular situation in accordance with Article 21 GDPR.
Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.
To exercise your rights, please contact: office@ifkps.com.
11. Right to Lodge a Complaint
You have the right to lodge a complaint with a competent data protection supervisory authority if you believe that the processing of your personal data infringes the GDPR.
For the controller established in Frankfurt am Main (Hesse), the competent authority is in particular:
Der Hessische Beauftragte für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit
Gustav-Stresemann-Ring 1
65189 Wiesbaden, Germany
12. No Automated Decision-Making
We do not use automated decision-making, including profiling within the meaning of Article 22 GDPR, through this website unless expressly stated otherwise.
13. External Links
Our website may contain links to websites operated by third parties. When you follow an external link, the data processing carried out on the destination website is the responsibility of the respective operator. Please review the privacy information provided by that operator.
14. Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy if the website, our processing activities, service providers or legal requirements change. The version published on this website at the time of your visit applies.
