Legal notice

Back to main page

Welcome to Kemiex. We’re glad you’re here, and we hope you enjoy everything we have to offer.

Please read the following Terms carefully because they govern your use of the Kemiex website.

1. Scope of the processing of personal data

You can count on us to protect the privacy and security of your personal data: Protecting your privacy when processing personal data is an important concern for Kemiex, which we take into account in all our business processes. With this data protection notice, we would therefore like to explain to you the basic rules of our handling of personal data – which naturally takes place in compliance with the applicable European and national data protection regulations.

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing operations involving personal data, Article 6 (1) (a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data.

When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures.

Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary for the fulfillment of a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person make it necessary to process personal data, Art. 6 (1) (d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing data.

3. Purpose of the data processing

When you visit our websites, your browser transmits certain data to our web server due to technical requirements. We use this technical access information to continuously improve the attractiveness and usability of our Internet pages and their content and to identify possible technical problems of our Internet presence. In addition, to protect our legitimate interests, we store this data for a limited period of time in order to be able to trace it back to personal data in the event of unauthorized access or attempted access to our servers. What information this is in detail, they can be found on the following pages.
We use so-called “cookies” on our website. You can find details about this in our Cookie Policy under Item 5 below.

In addition to automatically collected data, we also process the data that you have voluntarily provided to us with in the context of newsletter registrations, making contact, or other online forms.

4. Description and scope of data processing

Each time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the accessing computer. This data is recorded in the form of logs.

The following data is collected:

This processing is technically necessary for the display of our website. We also use the data to ensure the security and stability of the website.
The processing of the aforementioned data is necessary for the provision of the website and serves to protect a legitimate interest of our company. The legal basis for this processing is therefore Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

Use of contact forms

Our website contains a contact form that can be used for electronic contact. If a user makes use of this possibility, the data entered in the input mask is transmitted to us and stored. Apart from the information entered by you in the respective input mask, no other data is recorded.
In this context, the data will not be passed on to third parties. The data is used exclusively for the processing of the conversation, i.e. the processing of the personal data from the input mask serves us solely to process the contact. In the case of contact, this also constitutes the necessary legitimate interest in the processing of the data, so that the legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
The data is deleted by us as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. For the personal data from the input mask of the contact form and those sent by e-mail, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has finished. The conversation is ended when it is clear from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified.

Use of Google Analytics

We use the web analytics service Google Analytics to analyze and improve the use of our website. This allows us to improve our offer for you.
Google Maps is a service provided by Google Ireland Limited (“Google”). We have concluded an order processing agreement with Google, with which Google has undertaken to maintain the security and confidentiality of your personal data.

You can reach Google at:
Google Ireland Limited
Gordon House, Barrow Street
Dublin 4, Ireland

Phone: +353 1 543 1000
Fax: +353 1 686 5660
E-mail: support-deutschland@google.com

You can reach Google’s privacy team here.
Google Analytics stores cookies on your terminal device for analysis. These are only stored with your consent. You can find more information about data protection at Google Analytics here.

When using Google Analytics, the following data is collected:

When using Google Analytics, there is a risk that personal data will be transferred to Google LLC 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. The United States does not have a level of data protection comparable to the GDPR. Therefore, Google Ireland Limited uses standard contractual clauses for the transfer, including additional measures that ensure an appropriate level of data protection.
If you wish to prevent further data processing by Google Analytics, you can do so with a browser plugin or revoke your consent.
The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is your consent, Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.

LinkedIn

Kemiex operates a profile on LinkedIn. LinkedIn is a social network and online platform for professionals, specialist personnel and managers.

According to Art. 26 GDPR we are jointly responsible with LinkedIn for the use of the Page Insights during the operation of our LinkedIn profile. LinkedIn has entered into an arrangement with us that determines who is responsible for fulfilling which obligations with respect to data protection. This agreement can be called up here. According to this agreement, LinkedIn is primarily responsible for providing the data subject with information concerning the joint processing and for enabling the data subject to exercise his or her data protection rights. Independently of this agreement, we hereby inform you concerning your visit to our profile and thus provide you with the information required under data protection legislation.

You can contact LinkedIn at:
LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company
Wilton Place,
Dublin 2, Ireland

Online, you can reach LinkedIn here.
You can reach LinkedIn’s data protection officer here.
Further information and the applicable privacy policy of LinkedIn can be found here.

a) Data Collected by Linkedin

If you are a LinkedIn user, LinkedIn collects the data described in the LinkedIn Data Policy under “Information we collect”. For members who have not logged in to LinkedIn, a LinkedIn cookie is not set, so identification is not possible. For more information, please see the LinkedIn Cookie Policy here.

As a rule, the user data when visiting LinkedIn is also processed by LinkedIn for market research and advertising purposes. Based on user behavior (also when visiting our LinkedIn profile), complex user profiles are created, which LinkedIn can use to serve the visitor personalized advertisements within and outside of LinkedIn. More information on this can also be found in the LinkedIn privacy policy.

b) Data used by us and legal basis

LinkedIn provides us with statistics and usage data that we can use to analyze the use of our LinkedIn page (so-called “page insights”). This enables us to continuously improve our offer on LinkedIn. We, as the operator, do not make any decisions regarding the processing of insights data and all other information resulting from Art. 13 GDPR, such as storage duration of cookies on user end devices. The primary responsibility under the GDPR for the processing of Insights Data lies with LinkedIn. In this regard, we also refer to the joint responsibility agreement pursuant to Art. 26 of the GDPR that LinkedIn has entered into with us and to the obligations assumed by LinkedIn thereafter, which you can see here.

We, as the page administrator, have no other way of evaluating user behavior on our LinkedIn page, not even via user tracking. It is also fundamentally not possible for us to identify the visitor to our LinkedIn page on the basis of the page insights. In particular, according to the Agreement with LinkedIn (see here), we have no right to demand that LinkedIn disclose individual visitor data. In addition to any personal data provided directly to us by users, information about the user’s profile, likes and posts is visible to us depending on the user’s privacy settings.

You can see what information LinkedIn uses to create Page Insights here.
The operation of the LinkedIn profile and the use of page insights serve our legitimate interest in effective external presentation and communication with our interested parties. This interest justifies the operation of the page both against the legitimate interests of LinkedIn users and against visitors to our profile who do not have a LinkedIn account. Accordingly, the legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
