Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 2026
Controller
KE-TEC GmbH, Am Bahndamm 1, D-87488 Betzigau, Germany, is the controller (Art. 4(7) GDPR) responsible for the processing of personal data described in this policy. Phone: +49 831 5909860. Email: info@ke-tec.com.
Overview and legal bases
We process personal data only where a legal basis under Art. 6(1) GDPR applies: to perform or prepare a contract (lit. b), to comply with legal obligations (lit. c), on the basis of our legitimate interests in operating and securing this website (lit. f), or with your consent (lit. a), which you may withdraw at any time with effect for the future (Art. 7(3) GDPR).
Hosting
This website is hosted by Vercel Inc., 340 S Lemon Ave #4133, Walnut, CA 91789, USA. Vercel processes technical connection data on our behalf under a data processing agreement pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR. Because Vercel is a US provider, transfers to the United States can occur; these are safeguarded by Vercel's certification under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and by Standard Contractual Clauses (Art. 46(2)(c) GDPR). Legal basis for hosting is our legitimate interest in the secure, reliable provision of this site (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
Server logs
When you visit this website, our hosting provider's server automatically records technical access data: your IP address, the date and time of the request, the resource requested, the referrer URL, and your browser user agent. This data is required to deliver the site, to ensure its stability and security, and to investigate misuse. Storage takes place solely at the hosting provider acting as our processor; we do not receive or store these log records ourselves. It is not merged with other data and is deleted automatically after no more than 30 days, unless a specific incident requires longer retention. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
Cookies and local storage
This website does not use tracking or marketing cookies and does not load third-party analytics. We store a small number of technically necessary values in your browser's local storage: your language preference and, for authorised editors only, an editorial session identifier and draft content. Storing this information is strictly necessary to provide the service you request and is therefore permitted without consent under § 25(2) No. 2 TDDDG. Because no non-essential cookies or similar technologies are used, no consent banner is required.
Fonts and external content
All fonts used on this website are hosted on our own infrastructure. No connection to Google Fonts or any other third-party font or content delivery network is established when you view this site, and no personal data is transmitted to such providers.
Contact inquiries
When you contact us, whether through the contact form, by email, or by phone, we process the details you provide, such as your name, company, contact details, and the content of your message, solely to handle your inquiry and any follow-up questions. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR where the inquiry relates to a contract, otherwise Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Inquiry data is deleted once the matter is concluded, unless statutory retention periods under commercial or tax law (§ 257 HGB, § 147 AO: six or ten years) require us to keep it.
Job applications
If you apply for a position, we process your application documents to conduct the application procedure. Legal basis: § 26 BDSG and Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. If no employment follows, application data is erased no later than six months after the procedure ends, unless you consent to a longer retention for future openings.
Recipients of data
Within KE-TEC GmbH, access to personal data is limited to the people who need it to handle your matter. We share data with external recipients only where named in this policy (hosting), where you have consented, or where we are legally obliged to do so. All processors are bound by data processing agreements under Art. 28 GDPR.
Storage periods
We keep personal data only as long as needed for the purposes stated in this policy: server logs up to 30 days, inquiry correspondence until the matter is concluded plus any statutory retention period, and application data up to six months after the end of the procedure. After that, data is erased or anonymised.
Your rights
You have the right to access your personal data (Art. 15 GDPR), to rectification (Art. 16), to erasure (Art. 17), to restriction of processing (Art. 18), to data portability (Art. 20), and to object to processing based on legitimate interest (Art. 21). Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time with effect for the future (Art. 7(3)). You are not subject to automated decision-making, including profiling, within the meaning of Art. 22 GDPR on this website.
Supervisory authority
You have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR). The authority responsible for us is the Bayerisches Landesamt für Datenschutzaufsicht (BayLDA), Promenade 18, 91522 Ansbach, Germany, www.lda.bayern.de.
