Privacy Policy
At Kerner Maschinenbau GmbH, the protection of personal data is taken very seriously. We treat personal data with absolute confidentiality and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations as well as this privacy policy. The following information is intended to inform you about the type, scope, and purpose of collecting and using personal data on our website.
Data Collection and Logging
To optimize our website, we collect and store data such as the date and time of a page visit, the page from which you accessed our site, and similar information. This is done anonymously, without personally identifying the user. In some cases, user profiles may be created using a pseudonym. Even then, no connection is made between the natural person behind the pseudonym and the collected usage data.
We also use cookies to collect and store usage data. Cookies are small text files stored on your computer that record statistical information such as your operating system, web browser, IP address, previously visited webpage (referrer URL), and the time of access. These data are collected exclusively for statistical purposes, to further optimize our website and make our online offerings more attractive. The collection and storage are carried out solely in anonymized or pseudonymized form and do not allow any conclusions to be drawn about you as an individual.
Collection of Additional Data
If you do not use the contact forms provided, no additional data will be collected. If you use a web form offered by us and provide personal data, or if you contact us via email, we will collect, process, and use your personal data solely for the purpose of handling your request.
Cookies
Some of our web pages use so-called cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses. They are used to make our services more user-friendly, effective, and secure. Cookies are small text files stored on your device and saved by your browser.
Most of the cookies we use are session cookies, which are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain on your device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognize your browser on your next visit.
Use of YouTube Plugins
We use providers such as YouTube to embed videos. YouTube is operated by YouTube LLC, headquartered at 901 Cherry Avenue, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA, and represented by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
On some of our web pages, we use plugins provided by YouTube. When you access a page of our website containing such a plugin—e.g., our media library—a connection is established to the YouTube servers, and the plugin is displayed. This transmits information to the YouTube server about which pages of our website you have visited.
If you are logged into YouTube as a member, YouTube assigns this information to your personal user account. The same applies when you interact with the plugin, for example by clicking the play button of a video. You can prevent this assignment by logging out of your YouTube account and other accounts of YouTube LLC and Google Inc. before using our website and by deleting the corresponding cookies.
Further information about data processing and privacy by YouTube (Google) can be found at: www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/
Right of Access and Withdrawal
You may request information about your data stored with us at any time, without providing a reason. You can have your data blocked, corrected, or deleted at any time. You may also revoke your consent to the collection and use of data at any time without providing a reason.

Please note that data protection regulations and practices—e.g., by Google—may change continuously. It is therefore advisable and necessary to stay informed about changes in legal requirements and corporate practices.
