Privacy Policy

1. General information

We are very pleased about your interest in our company.
The protection of your personal data is of particularly high importance to the management of Kindervilla GmbH. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations as well as this Privacy Policy.

In principle, it is possible to use our website without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to use special services of our company via our website, the processing of personal data may become necessary. If such processing is necessary and there is no legal basis for it, we will generally obtain the data subject’s consent.

As the controller responsible for processing, we have implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most comprehensive protection possible of the personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions may generally have security vulnerabilities, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed.
