Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie identifier. The cookie ID is the unique identifier of the cookie file. It consists of a character string that allows websites and servers to be linked to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was saved. This allows the websites and servers visited to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other Internet browsers containing other cookies. A unique cookie identifier can be used to recognize and identify a specific Internet browser.

Thanks to the use of cookies, König Tours GmbH & Co. KG can provide users of this site with more convenient services that would not be possible without the use of cookies.

Cookies can be used to optimize information and offers on our site for the benefit of the user. As already mentioned, cookies allow us to recognize users of our site.

19. Legal basis of processing

Article 6 (I) (a) of the General Regulation DS-GVO provides our company with the legal basis for processing operations when we request consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a contract to which the data subject is a party, as, for example, in the case of processing necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of other services or remuneration, the processing is based on art. b of the General Regulations DS-GVO. Materials intended for sale in other countries can be used for further trade, including as raw materials for the production of substandard products. This does not mean that a person has the right to dispose of property, and therefore the right to dispose of property in accordance with Article 6 set out in DS-GVO. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example, in the case of requests for our products or services. If our company has a legal obligation requiring the processing of personal data, for example, to fulfill tax obligations, the processing is based on art. 6 I lit. general regulations DS-GVO. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be required to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another individual. In particular, this applies to cases where the data subject was injured, as a result of which his name, age, medical insurance data or other vital information had to be transferred to a doctor, hospital or other third parties. Then the data processing will be carried out in accordance with art. 6 I lit. d of the general regulations DS-GVO.

Ultimately, processing operations can be performed in accordance with art. 6 I lit. f of the general regulations DS-GVO. Processing operations are based on this legal basis, which are not covered by any of the above-mentioned legal grounds, when processing is necessary to protect the legitimate interests of our company or a third party, if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh. Such processing operations are allowed to us, in particular, because they have received special mention in European legislation. It states that a legitimate interest may arise if the person concerned is a client of the responsible person (reference 47, sentence 2 of the General Data Protection Regulation DS-GVO).

20. Legitimate processing interests pursued by the controller or a third party

The processing of personal data is based on article 6 (i) (f) of the General Data Protection Regulation DS-GVO, and it is our legitimate interest to carry out our activities in the interests of the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders.

21. The duration during which personal data is stored

The criterion for the duration of storage of personal data is the appropriate statutory retention period. After the deadline has expired, the relevant data is usually deleted if it is no longer required for the performance of the contract or the drafting of the contract.

22. Legal or contractual requirements for the provision of personal data; the need to conclude a contract; the obligation of the data subject to provide personal data; possible consequences of failure to provide

We inform you that the provision of personal data is partially required by law (for example, tax rules) or may be the result of contractual provisions (for example, information about a contractual partner). Sometimes, in order to conclude a contract, it may be necessary for the data subject to provide us with personal data that must subsequently be processed by us. For example, a data subject is required to provide us with personal data when our company enters into a contract with him. Failure to provide personal data will result in the impossibility of concluding a contract with the interested party. Before providing personal data by the Data Subject, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee explains to interested parties in each specific case whether the provision of personal data is required by law or contract or is required to conclude a contract, whether there is an obligation to provide personal data and what are the consequences of not providing personal data.

23. Availability of an automated decision-making process

As a responsible company, we refuse to make automatic decisions or profiling.

24. Evaluation reminders from Trustpilot

25. Using the eKomi rating portal

We use the independent rating portal eKomi, which is operated by eKomi Ltd., 11 Margrafenstrasse, 10969 Berlin, Germany. We want to constantly improve ourselves and our service, and for this reason we decided to use such a solution. Accordingly, we also cannot individually control or influence the invitations for evaluation. This is done every time you apply for a visa. Order an invitation in our selection dialog box and in the visa order mask in the [apply for a visa.cfm] section, indicating the first and last name, as well as the email address used for the purposes of the evaluation invitation. This is the only way to guarantee a complete, independent assessment of our company and our services by customers, whom we, as a service store, do not influence. The data transferred to eKomi for this purpose, such as the first name, last name and e-mail address specified at the time of ordering, is transferred to eKomi and used by eKomi itself or transferred to third parties to fulfill the contract. As a customer, you can leave a review yourself. By giving an assessment / leaving a review, you agree to the current rules of communication of eKomi. This consent can be revoked at any time by sending a message to the contact service described below or directly to eKomi.

26. The right to receive information and the opportunity to contact us

You have the right to free information about your personal data stored by us, as well as the right to correct, block or delete this data, if applicable. If you have questions about the collection, processing or use of your personal data, obtaining information, correcting, blocking or deleting data, as well as withdrawing your consent or objection to certain data use, please contact us directly using the contact details provided in our output data.

27. Consent to the transfer of personal data to a third country in accordance with DS-GVO

§ 1(Purpose of data processing) Tofulfill an order for a visa or an electronic travel permit to the country of Russia, according to the order form for the client/applicant, König Tours GmbH and Co. KG must collect, transfer and, consequently, process the personal data provided by the Client/Applicant at the official consular offices of the destination country in Germany, consulates/immigration authorities of the relevant destination country in a third country, including outside the EU. Data processing is carried out in the country where the data importer is located, that is, at the relevant consular mission or consular/immigration authority of a third country. Embassies and consulates of third countries (including outside the EU) and their staff represent, in particular, the consular/immigration authorities of their host country in the host country. They are subject to special protection in accordance with articles 22 and 31 of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations (WÜD) and, therefore, may not automatically fall under the jurisdiction of the host country or applicable EU law. Thus, the processing of personal data transmitted for obtaining a visa takes place de facto in a country that is represented by its consular representation in Germany or the EU, even if this representation is located on the territory of Germany or the EU. The participation of the consular representation or the immigration authority of a third country is conditioned by the fact that the company König Tours GmbH und Co. KG itself cannot provide the visa/electronic travel permit required to fulfill the order made by the applicant/client, but only acts as a representative and on behalf of the applicant as an intermediary in relation to the consular mission/immigration authority of the destination country (third country).

§ 2(Specially protected data) Tofulfill the issued order, depending on the applicable requirements for applying for a visa to the selected destination country, it will also be necessary to transfer specially protected categories of personal data to the appropriate consular mission or consular center / immigration service. Depending on what data is specifically needed to fulfill the order, it may be personal data confirming racial and ethnic origin, political beliefs, religious or ideological beliefs or union membership, as well as, if necessary, personal data, biometric data and the like. In order to obtain the visa/electronic travel permit referred to in this document, it may be necessary to contact the consular mission or consular department, transfer such personal data to the consular/immigration authority of the destination country in order to fulfill the order.

§ 3(Decision on adequacy)For the country in which the consular/immigration office is located or which is represented by a consular mission in Germany and in which, accordingly, personal data is processed, there may currently be no decision of the EU Commission on adequacy in accordance with article 45 (1), (3) of the General Data Protection Regulation (DS-GVO). This means that the EU Commission has not yet given a positive conclusion that the level of data protection in this country corresponds to the level of data protection in the European Union based on DS-GVO.

§ 4(Proper guarantees) The general provisions of DS-GVO presuppose the so-called appropriate guarantees for the transfer of data to a third country or to an international organization, paragraphs 2, 3 of the General Regulations (DS-GVO), article 46. They may not be available in the above-mentioned destination country.

§ 5(Possible risks)Possiblerisks that cannot be excluded by the above-mentioned paragraphs at present for the applicant/principal include, in particular:

• Your personal data may be transferred to other third parties, in addition to the main purpose of fulfilling the order, by the consular/immigration authorities of the destination country.

• The likelihood that you will not be able to reasonably defend or enforce your rights to information with consular/immigration authorities.

• There is a higher probability of incorrect data processing, since technical organizational measures for the protection of personal data do not fully comply with the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation DS-GVO in quantitative and qualitative terms.

§ 6 (Consent/Cancellation) I express my consent to the transfer of my personal data, including specially protected data (see section 2), in accordance with article 9, paragraph 1 of the General Data Protection Regulation DS-GVO for the provision of services authorized by me to consular, immigration and representative authorities located in the named country of destination or representing it in Germany or the EU. I can grant this permission at any time

relinquish responsibility as a responsible person using this form.

The withdrawal of consent does not affect the legality of the processing that was carried out on the basis of consent before the withdrawal. In this case, König Tours GmbH and Co. KG cannot fulfill the main contract (order) and, therefore, cannot conclude or fulfill it, has the right to terminate the contract with me immediately.
