Privacy Policy
Thank you for visiting protec-knit.com. Protecting your personal data is important to us. Below we explain which data we process when you use this website, for what purposes and on what legal basis. Personal data is any data that can identify you personally. This English version is provided for convenience; in case of doubt, the German version (Datenschutzerklärung) is legally binding.

1. Hosting and server log files
This website is hosted by Hostinger International Ltd., 61 Lordou Vironos Street, 6023 Larnaca, Cyprus. When you access the website, the server automatically processes information transmitted by your browser (server log files): IP address, date and time of the request, page requested, amount of data transferred, referrer URL, browser type and version, and operating system. This data is technically necessary to deliver the website and to ensure its security and stability. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR; our legitimate interest lies in the secure and error-free operation of the website. A data processing agreement pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR is in place with Hostinger. Log files are deleted automatically after a short period.
2. SSL/TLS encryption
For security reasons, this website uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by “https://” in your browser’s address bar.
3. Fonts
The font used on this website is loaded locally from our server. No connection is made to servers of Google or other font providers.
4. Consent and storage of your choice
On your first visit we ask whether you consent to the use of Google Analytics. Without your consent, Google Analytics is not loaded and no data is transmitted to Google. We store your choice (“accepted” or “declined”) exclusively in your browser’s local storage so that we do not have to ask you again on every page. This storage is strictly necessary to implement your choice (§ 25 (2) no. 2 TDDDG; Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR in conjunction with Art. 7 (1) GDPR). You can change or withdraw your choice at any time via the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer of every page.
5. Google Analytics
If you have given your consent, we use Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”). Google Analytics allows us to evaluate the use of our website statistically (e.g. pages viewed, time spent, where visitors come from, devices used) in order to improve our offering.
For this purpose, cookies (including “_ga” and “_ga_<ID>”) are stored on your device and information about your use is transmitted to Google servers. Google Analytics 4 does not store full IP addresses; IP addresses within the EU are truncated before storage. Data may also be transferred to Google LLC in the USA. Google LLC is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework; an adequacy decision of the European Commission therefore applies to this transfer (Art. 45 GDPR). A data processing agreement is in place with Google.
The legal basis is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG. You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future via the Cookie Settings; the analytics cookies set are then removed. Usage data stored in Google Analytics is deleted automatically after the configured retention period. Further information: Google Privacy Policy.
6. Contact by email or phone
If you contact us by email or phone, we process your details (e.g. name, contact details, content of your enquiry) to handle your request and any follow-up questions. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR if your enquiry relates to a contract or pre-contractual measures, and otherwise our legitimate interest in responding to enquiries (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR). The data is deleted once it is no longer required for processing and no statutory retention obligations apply.
7. Storage period
We store personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes stated or as required by statutory retention periods. The data is then routinely deleted or blocked.
8. Automated decision-making
We do not carry out automated decision-making, including profiling, within the meaning of Art. 22 GDPR.
9. Your rights
You have the right of access (Art. 15 GDPR), rectification (Art. 16 GDPR), erasure (Art. 17 GDPR), restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR) and data portability (Art. 20 GDPR), as well as the right to object to processing based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (Art. 21 GDPR). You can withdraw any consent given at any time with effect for the future; the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal remains unaffected. Please contact datenschutz@tec-knit.de.
Without prejudice to any other remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. The authority responsible for us is:
Bayerisches Landesamt für Datenschutzaufsicht (BayLDA)
