KosBioMetik S.A.R.L. - www.KBM-BIO.com
We are very delighted that you have shown interest in our enterprise. Data protection is of a particularly high priority for the management of KosBioMetik S.A.R.L. (KBM).
The use of the Internet pages of KBM is possible without any indication of personal data; however, if a data subject wants to use special enterprise services via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary.
If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.
The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a data subject shall always be in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to the KBM.
By means of this data protection declaration, our enterprise would like to inform the general public of the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed, by means of this data protection declaration, of the rights to which they are entitled.
As the controller, KBM has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website.
However, Internet-based data transmissions may in principle have security gaps, so absolute protection may not be guaranteed.
For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone.
The following data protection declaration was created according to the requirements of the GDPR.

1. Definitions
KBM's data protection declaration is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our data protection declaration should be legible and understandable for the general public, as well as our customers and business partners.
To ensure this, we would like to start by explaining the terminology used. In this data protection declaration, we use the following terms, among others:
a) Personal data
Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter "data subject"). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
b) Data subject
Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller.
c) Processing
Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, reading, querying, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or any other form of provision, comparison or linking, restriction, deletion or destruction.
d) Restriction of processing
Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting its future processing.
e) Profiling
Profiling is any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.
f) Pseudonymization
Pseudonymization is the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
g) Controller or controller responsible for the processing
Controller or controller responsible for the processing is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data; where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.
h) Processor Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for their nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.
h) Processor
A processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
i) Recipient
Recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body, to which the personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients.
j) Third
party: a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorized to process personal data.
k) Consent
Consent of the data subject is any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

5. Registration on our website
The data subject has the option to register on the controller's website by providing personal data. The personal data transmitted to the controller in this process is determined by the respective input mask used for registration.
The personal data entered by the data subject are collected and stored solely for internal use by the controller and for the data subject's own purposes. The controller may arrange for the data to be transferred to one or more processors, such as a parcel service, which will also use the personal data exclusively for an internal purpose attributable to the controller.
Furthermore, by registering on the website of the data controller, the IP address assigned to the data subject by the Internet Service Provider (ISP), the date and time of registration are also stored.
The storage of this data takes place against the background that this is the only way to prevent the misuse of our services, and, if necessary, to make it possible to investigate committed offenses. Insofar, the storage of this data is necessary to secure the controller. This data is not passed on to third parties unless there is a statutory obligation to pass on the data, or if the transfer serves the aim of criminal prosecution.
The registration of the data subject, with the voluntary provision of personal data, is intended to enable the controller to offer the data subject content or services that, due to the nature of the matter, can only be offered to registered users. Registered persons are free to modify the personal data provided during registration at any time or to have it completely deleted from the database of the controller.
The data controller shall, at any time, provide information upon request to each data subject as to what personal data are stored about the data subject. In addition, the data controller shall correct or erase personal data at the request or indication of the data subject, insofar as there are no statutory storage obligations.
The entirety of the controller's employees are available to the data subject in this respect as contact persons.
6. Contact via the website
Due to legal requirements, KBM's website contains information that enables quick electronic contact with our company and direct communication with us, which also includes a general e-mail address (e-mail address).
If a data subject contacts the controller by email or through a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject will be stored automatically.
Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the data controller will be stored for the purposes of processing or contacting the data subject. There is no disclosure of this personal data to third parties.
7. Routine erasure and blocking of personal data
The data controller shall process and store the personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or as far as this is granted by the European legislator or other legislators in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.
If the storage purpose no longer applies or if a storage period prescribed by the European directive and regulation giver or another competent legislator expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.
8. Rights of the data subject
a) Right to confirmation
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller the confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning him or her are being processed.

Furthermore, the data subject has the right, under consideration of the purposes of the processing, to request the completion of incomplete personal data, including by means of a supplementary declaration.
If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of rectification, they may, at any time, contact an employee of the controller for the processing.
d) Right to erasure (Right to be forgotten)
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay, and the controller shall have the obligation to erase personal data without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies, as long as the processing is not necessary:
1.
The personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
2.

5.
The personal data must be erased for compliance with a legal obligation in Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.

If one of the aforementioned reasons applies and a data subject wishes to request the erasure of personal data stored by KBM, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller. The employee of KBM shall promptly ensure that the erasure request is complied with immediately.
If the personal data has been made public by KBM and our company, as the data controller, is obliged to delete the personal data in accordance with Art. 17 Para. 1 GDPR, KBM will take appropriate measures, including technical measures, taking into account the available technology and the implementation costs, to inform other process the personal data published, that the data subject has requested that these other data controllers delete all links to the personal data or copies or replications of the personal data, unless the processing is necessary. KBM employees will take the necessary steps in individual cases.
e) Right to restriction of processing
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller restriction of processing where one of the following applies:
1.
The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
2.
The processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests instead the restriction of their use instead.

If one of the aforementioned conditions is met, and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of the processing of personal data stored by KBM, he or she may at any time contact any employee of the controller. The employee of KBM will arrange the restriction of the processing.
f) Right to data portability
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator, to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which was provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. They also have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided, as long as the processing is based on consent pursuant to point (a) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR or point (a) of Article 9(2) of the GDPR, or on a contract in accordance with Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR and the processing is carried out by automated means, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
Furthermore, in exercising their right to data portability under Article 20(1) of the GDPR, the data subject has the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and when doing so does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others. To assert the right to data portability, the data subject can contact an employee of KBM at any time.
g) Right to object
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to object, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, at any time, to processing of personal data concerning him or her, which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
KBM will no longer process the personal data in the event of an objection, unless we can prove compelling reasons for the processing worthy of protection, which outweigh the interests, rights and freedoms of the affected person, or the processing serves the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims.
If KBM processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject shall have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her for such marketing. This applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to KBM to the processing for direct marketing purposes, KBM will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.
In addition, the data subject has the right, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, to object to processing of personal data concerning him or her by KBM for scientific or historical research purposes, or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) of the GDPR, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest. To exercise the right to object, the data subject can directly contact any KBM employee or another employee.
The data subject is also free, in the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to exercise his or her right to object by automated means using technical specifications.
h) Automated individual decision-making, including profiling
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her, or similarly significantly affects him or her, as long as the decision
(1) is not is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data controller
(2) is not authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests; or

(2) is authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests; or
(3) with the express consent of the data subject.
If the decision
(1) is necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data controller, or
(2) it is made with the express consent of the data subject, KBM shall take appropriate measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms as well as the legitimate interests of the data subject, including at least the right to obtain the intervention of a person on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and to challenge the decision.
If the data subject wishes to exercise the rights concerning automated individual decision-making, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the Sympany AG.
i) Right to withdraw data protection consent

9. Data protection provisions about the application and use of social networks
We currently use the following social media links on our website: Facebook and Instagram. We give you the opportunity to communicate directly with the provider via a link using the button. Only if you click on the marked field and thereby activate it, these platforms receive the information that you have accessed the corresponding website of our online offer (usage data). In addition, contact data (e.g. e-mail, user IDs), content data (e.g. entries in online forms), meta and communication data (e.g. IP addresses, identification numbers) are apparently transmitted. According to these platforms, in Germany the IP address is anonymized immediately after collection. However, by activating the link, personal data about you is transmitted to these platforms and also stored outside the EU, including in the United States. A level of data protection comparable to European law is ensured by concluding the standard contractual clauses approved in advance by the European Commission and/or participating in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.
Since the platforms collect data primarily via cookies, we recommend that you delete all cookies via your browser's security settings before clicking on the link. However, we have no influence on the data collected or the data processing procedures, nor are we aware of the full extent of the data collection, the purposes of the processing, or the storage periods. We also have no information on the deletion of any data collected by the social media provider.
These platforms store the data collected about you as user profiles and use them for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or the design of their website. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to display targeted advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, but to exercise this right you must contact the respective platform.
The data transfer occurs regardless of whether you have an account with the respective platform and are logged in there. If you are logged in there, your data collected by us will be directly associated with your existing account there. If you click the activated button and, for example, link the page, the respective platform also stores this information in your user account and, if applicable, shares it publicly with your contacts. We recommend that you regularly log out after using a social network, but especially before activating the button, as this way you can avoid an assignment to your profile on the respective platform.
We offer you the opportunity to interact with social networks and other users via the links so that we can improve our services and make them more interesting for you as a user. The legal basis for the use of the links is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.
We are also present on social networks and other communication platforms (Facebook and Instagram). If you contact us, write posts or interact with our posts on these channels, we will process the data you provide there in order to respond to your requests. The risks already described apply here. If we collect further data from you, we will inform you separately about the scope and use. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) 1 lit. b and f GDPR, provided that we do not obtain separate consent from you for the data processing.
Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and processing by the social media provider can be found in the data protection declarations of these providers, which are provided below. These also contain further information on your rights in this regard and settings options for protecting your privacy.

10. Legal basis for processing
Art. 6 I lit. a GDPR serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations in which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, as is the case, for example, when processing operations are necessary for the supply of goods or to provide any other service, the processing is based on Article 6(1) lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries about our products or services.
If our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data, such as to fulfill tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor to our company were to be injured and his or her name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6 I lit. d DSGVO.
Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not covered by any of the abovementioned legal grounds, if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject.
We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, it took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (recital 47, sentence 2 GDPR).
11. Legitimate interests in the processing being pursued by the controller or a third party
The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After the deadline has passed, the corresponding data is routinely deleted if it is no longer required for the fulfillment or initiation of the contract.
12. Duration for which personal data is stored
If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I lit. f DSGVO, it is in our legitimate interest to carry out our business activities for the benefit of all our employees.
13. Legal or contractual requirements for the provision of personal data; necessity for the conclusion of a contract; obligation of the data subject to provide personal data; possible consequences of not providing
We would like to clarify that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or can also result from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner). Sometimes it may be necessary for a contract to be concluded that an affected person provides us with personal data that must subsequently be processed by us.
For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company enters into a contract with him or her. Failure to provide personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded.
Before personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject must contact any employee. The employee clarifies to the data subject whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and the consequences of non-provision of the personal data.
14. Data security – TSL encryption
All the data you transmit to us is encrypted using the secure Transport Layer Security (TSL) standard. TSL is a secure and proven standard. You can recognize a secure TSL connection by the s appended to http - (i.e. "https://") in the address bar of your browser or by the lock symbol in the upper area of your browser to the left of the URL input field - .
We also use appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction or against unauthorized access by third parties. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.
15. Existence of automated decision-making
As a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision-making or profiling.
