1 Introduction

Below, we provide details regarding data protection when you visit our website.

You can generally use our website without providing any personal data.

Where personal data is collected when you visit our website, we process it exclusively in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG).

The processing of personal data takes place exclusively in accordance with this privacy policy.

This privacy policy applies to the use of the website at www.kueperkoch-temme.de. For linked content from other providers, the privacy policy provided on the linked website applies.

Please note that security vulnerabilities may arise during data transmission via the internet, which cannot be prevented by the technical design of this website. Complete protection of personal data is not possible when using the internet.

4 Hosting

Our website is hosted on servers operated by rockenstein AG, Ohmstr. 12, 97076 Würzburg (hosting provider).

We have entered into a data processing agreement with rockenstein AG.

When our web pages are accessed, data is collected automatically and stored in log files on our host’s server. This data may be personally identifiable. The data collected includes:

  • IP address of the requesting computer (in anonymised form)
  • Date and time of access to our website
  • Name and URL of the page requested on our website
  • Files requested on our website
  • Browser types and versions used
  • The operating system of the requesting computer (referrer)


The host uses the collected data to ensure the smooth operation of the website, to ensure IT security and to improve our service. Where there are specific grounds for suspicion, the log data may be analysed retrospectively. The temporary storage of the IP address by the hosting provider is necessary to enable the website to be delivered to the user’s computer. For this purpose, your IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session.

This data is not combined with other data sources.

The legal basis for data collection is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. Our legitimate interest in data collection arises from the purposes stated.

The data is deleted by the host as soon as it is no longer required to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of data collected for the provision of the website, this is the case once the respective session has ended.

In the case of data stored in log files, this technical information is deleted or anonymised after two months at the latest.

The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is strictly necessary for the operation of the website. Consequently, you have no right to object.

5 Cookies

In addition to the data mentioned above, cookies are used on your computer when you use and visit our website.

When you visit our website for the first time, you will be asked whether you consent to the use of cookies and, if so, which categories you consent to.

Cookies are small text files that are stored by your browser on your device to store certain information. Furthermore, these cookies are used to make the use of our website more pleasant and convenient for you, or for analytical purposes.

Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies”. They serve to make the services of our website technically available to you. Following your visit, these cookies are automatically deleted by your browser.

Other cookies remain on your computer and enable us to recognise your device on your next visit (so-called persistent or permanent cookies).

The next time you visit our website using the same device, the information stored in the cookies is read either by our website (‘first-party cookie’) or by another website to which the cookie belongs (‘third-party cookie’).

These cookies are automatically deleted from your system after a pre-set period of time, which varies depending on the cookie.

The information stored and sent back enables the respective website to recognise that you have already accessed and visited it using your device’s browser.

We use this information to optimally design and display the website for you in accordance with your preferences. In doing so, only the cookie itself is identified on your device.

Any further storage of personal data takes place only with your express consent or if this is absolutely necessary to enable you to use the service offered and accessed by you accordingly.

This website uses the following types of cookies, the scope and functionality of which are explained below:

– Essential cookies: Strictly necessary cookies ensure functions without which you cannot use our website as intended. These cookies are used exclusively by us and serve, for example, to ensure that, as a logged-in user, you remain logged in when accessing various subpages of our website and thus do not have to re-enter your login details every time you visit a new page. The legal basis for their use is our legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.

– Functional cookies: These enable our website to store information you have already provided and to offer you improved functions based on this. The legal basis for the use of these cookies is your consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR.

You can configure your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and can only accept cookies in specific cases, e.g. third-party cookies (cookies set by a third party, i.e. not by the actual website you are currently visiting)), to accept cookies in specific cases or generally, and to enable the automatic deletion of cookies when you close your browser. You can delete stored cookies at any time using your web browser.

You have the option to disable cookies generally in your browser at any time.

However, disabling cookies may restrict the functionality of this website.

Deleting cookies

Cookies are stored on your device until you delete them, which you can do at any time. Furthermore, expired cookies are automatically deleted by your browser if you have configured your browser accordingly. Expired cookies are no longer sent to our servers by your browser and can therefore no longer be used by us.

Here you will find information on how to delete cookies and manage cookie settings in the most common browsers:

Desktop PC / Laptop

Microsoft Edge

Mozilla Firefox

Apple Safari

Google Chrome

Mobile devices

Google Chrome (Android)

Google Chrome (iOS)

Apple Safari (iOS)

Samsung Internet (Android)

Mozilla Firefox (Android)

Unless you have made or make different settings, cookies that are intended to enable or ensure the necessary technical functions will remain on your device until you close your browser; other cookies may remain on your device for longer (up to 6 months).

To protect your privacy, you should regularly check the cookies on your device and your browser history and delete them yourself.

6 SSL or TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries that you send to us as the website operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address bar of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the padlock symbol in your browser bar.

If SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties (end-to-end encryption). The protocols authenticate the communication partner and ensure the integrity of the data being transmitted.

7 Online forms

Our website features a button for online data collection, which allows you to send us data via an online form. If you use this online service provided by NotarNow (LegalNow GmbH, Lena-Christ-Straße 2, 82031 Grünwald), your details, including the contact details you provide there, will be stored automatically on the NotarNow servers for a short period for the purpose of processing your enquiry and in the event of follow-up questions, and will subsequently be forwarded to us. Data is transmitted in encrypted form using Secure Socket Layer (SSL/TLS) transport encryption.

The data is stored solely for the purposes of processing your enquiry or contacting you. The data will not be passed on to any other third parties. The legal basis for the processing of the data is Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, provided that your enquiry relates to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of enquiries addressed to us (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR) or on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR), provided this has been requested.

The data you enter in the online form will remain with us until you request its deletion, withdraw your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. once your enquiry has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

When using the “temporary storage” function, your online form entries are stored in encrypted and anonymised form for 30 days. If the online form is not submitted to us within these 30 days, the form entries will be automatically deleted in full. In this case, you do not need to request deletion.

8 Cookie Consent / Consent Management Tools

On our website, we use the cookie consent technology from Borlabs – Benjamin A. Bornschein, Georg-Wilhelm-Str. 17, 21107 Hamburg (hereinafter Borlabs).

The Borlabs cookie is a plugin for WordPress that enables us to obtain your consent to the storage of certain cookies in your browser and to document this in accordance with data protection regulations.

When you visit our website, a technically necessary Borlabs cookie is stored in your browser, in which the consents you have given or the withdrawal of these consents are stored. This data is not passed on to the provider of Borlabs Cookie.

The data collected is stored until you request its deletion, delete the Borlabs cookie yourself, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Mandatory statutory retention periods remain unaffected. Details regarding the data processing carried out by Borlabs Cookie can be found at https://borlabs.io/kb/what-information-does-borlabs-cookie-store/.

This data processing is carried out in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in providing a cookie consent management service for website visitors.

9 Retention period

Unless a more specific retention period is stated within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you submit a valid request for erasure or withdraw your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible grounds for storing your personal data (e.g. retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, deletion will take place once these grounds no longer apply.

10 Your rights and exercising your rights

You are entitled to the rights listed below. You may exercise these rights by contacting us. To exercise your rights, please use the contact details provided above or contact us by email at: notar@kueperkoch-temme.de.

Right of access:

Under Article 15 of the GDPR, you have the right to request information about your personal data processed by us. In particular, you may request information regarding the purposes of processing, the categories of personal data, the categories of recipients to whom your data has been or will be disclosed, the planned storage period, the existence of a right to rectification, erasure, restriction of processing or objection, the existence of a right to lodge a complaint, the origin of your data where it has not been collected by us, as well as the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, and, where applicable, meaningful information regarding its details;

Rectification:

In accordance with Article 16 of the GDPR, you have the right to request the immediate rectification of inaccurate personal data or the completion of your personal data stored by us;

Erasure:

In accordance with Article 17 of the GDPR, you have the right to request the erasure of your stored by us, unless processing is necessary for the purposes of exercising the right of freedom of expression and information, for compliance with a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims;

Restriction of processing:

You have the right, pursuant to Article 18 of the GDPR, to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data, provided that you contest the accuracy of the data, the processing is unlawful but you oppose its erasure and we no longer require the data, but you require it for the establishment, exercise or defend legal claims, or you have objected to the processing pursuant to Article 21 of the GDPR;

Data portability:

Pursuant to Article 20 of the GDPR, you have the right to receive the personal data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, or to request that it be transmitted to another controller;

Withdrawal of your consent:

You have the right, pursuant to Article 7(3) of the GDPR, to withdraw your consent at any time. As a result, we may no longer continue the data processing based on this consent in the future. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out on the basis of consent prior to withdrawal.

Please send your withdrawal to the contact details provided above or by email to: notar@kueperkoch-temme.de.

Right to object

You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you which is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(e) or (f) of the GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

The controller shall no longer process the personal data concerning you unless it can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

Where personal data concerning you is processed for the purposes of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purposes of such marketing; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing.

If you object to processing for the purposes of direct marketing, the personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for these purposes.

In connection with the use of information society services – notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC – you have the option of exercising your right to object by means of automated procedures using technical specifications.

Automated individual decision-making, including profiling

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing – including profiling – which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. This does not apply if the decision is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the controller, is authorised by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and that law provides for appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or is based on your explicit consent.

However, such decisions must not be based on special categories of personal data as referred to in Article 9(1) of the GDPR, unless Article 9(2)(a) or (g) of the GDPR applies and appropriate measures have been taken to safeguard your rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests.

Complaints to a supervisory authority:

You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in accordance with Article 77 of the GDPR. As a rule, you may contact the supervisory authority for your usual place of residence or workplace, or for the location of our law firm’s registered office.
