Data protection officer

We are currently not required to appoint a data protection officer. If you have any questions about data protection, you can contact us at any time using the contact details above.

Visiting our website

When you access this website, our hosting provider automatically processes technical connection data in server log files, in particular IP address, date and time of access, page accessed, referrer URL where applicable, browser and device data, amount of data transferred and HTTP status code.

This processing serves the secure, stable and error-free provision of the website and the detection and prevention of attacks. The legal basis is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

The website is provided via Netlify, Inc., 512 2nd Street, Suite 200, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA. Netlify processes data as a processor on the basis of a data processing agreement. Where data is transferred to the USA or other third countries, the transfer is based in particular on appropriate safeguards such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses and, where applicable, other transfer mechanisms.

“Request a Walkthrough” form

If you request a Kriyanta walkthrough via our form, we process the information you enter, in particular name, business email address, company, role, industry and the topic you selected.

The form is processed via Netlify Forms. The information you submit is transmitted to Netlify, processed there technically and made available to us so that we can handle your request. The legal basis is the performance of pre-contractual measures pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR and our legitimate interest in handling business enquiries pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Requesting executive papers

If you request an executive paper from our insight series via our website, we process the information you enter, in particular first name, last name, company, business email address, role, optionally your current challenge, and the title of the requested paper.

The form is processed via Netlify Forms. We use the information to send you the requested paper and to follow up with you on this topic. The legal basis is your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, which you give via the checkbox in the form. You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future, for example by email to Kiran.Mahajan@Kriyanta.ai. The lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal remains unaffected.

Other contact

If you contact us by email or via LinkedIn, we process the data you provide, in particular name, contact details and the content of your message, in order to handle and answer your enquiry. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR where your enquiry is aimed at concluding or performing a contract, and Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR for other business communication.

The privacy policy of the respective platform operator additionally applies to the processing of personal data by LinkedIn.

Cookies, local storage and conversion measurement

To store your privacy choice, we use the browser’s local storage (Local Storage). Under the key kriyanta_cookie_consent_v2 we store whether you have allowed only necessary functions or also marketing technologies. This storage serves solely to respect your choice on later visits. You can change your choice at any time using the settings below.

Storing your consent decision is necessary to implement your privacy choice technically. Where personal data is processed in this context, we base this on our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Access to and storage of information on your device takes place in this respect pursuant to Section 25(2) No. 2 TDDDG.

LinkedIn Insight Tag. If you expressly select “Accept marketing cookies”, “Marketing-Cookies akzeptieren” or “Marketing erlauben”, we load the LinkedIn Insight Tag with partner ID 9788498. The provider for users in the EU/EEA is LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland. The Insight Tag is used to measure the effectiveness of our LinkedIn campaigns, in particular to attribute website visits and conversion events to ad interactions. LinkedIn may also use the data collected for aggregated campaign and audience reports and, if we activate that feature, to build website audiences.

According to LinkedIn, the Insight Tag may process in particular the URL accessed, the referrer URL, the IP address, device and browser characteristics (user agent) and a timestamp. LinkedIn uses cookies or similar technologies for this purpose. LinkedIn states that it truncates or hashes IP addresses, removes direct member identifiers within seven days and deletes the remaining pseudonymised data within 180 days.

The LinkedIn Insight Tag is loaded on our website only after your prior consent. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR in conjunction with Section 25(1) TDDDG. If you select only necessary functions, the Insight Tag is not loaded. You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future. After withdrawal, the Insight Tag is no longer loaded on further page views; cookies already set by LinkedIn may remain in your browser until they are deleted or expire.

Further information can be found in LinkedIn’s Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy and Cookie Table.

Google Ads conversion measurement. After you expressly accept marketing cookies, we load the Google tag for Google Ads (AW-18542864767). The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. This measures whether a Google ad leads to a successfully submitted walkthrough enquiry. The event fires only after Netlify accepts the contact form, not when the form is opened or its submit button is clicked. Google may process technical connection and device data, the page address, ad-click identifiers and conversion cookies. We do not include form fields such as your name, email address or company in this event. Enhanced conversions and personalised advertising are disabled in this implementation. The Google tag is not loaded before consent. Choosing only necessary functions sends no Google Ads conversion. You can change your choice below. Further information: Google Privacy Policy and Google advertising technologies.

Fonts and embedded content

Fonts, images, audio files and documents on this website are delivered by our hosting provider Netlify. We do not embed fonts from third-party services (such as Google Fonts). External services are loaded only if you expressly consent (see Google Ads and LinkedIn Insight Tag).

Recipients and third countries

We use carefully selected service providers for hosting, form processing, email communication and technical security. Where these service providers process personal data on our behalf, they do so on the basis of a data processing agreement pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR.

Our email communication is operated via Microsoft 365 of Microsoft Ireland Operations Limited, One Microsoft Place, South County Business Park, Leopardstown, Dublin 18, Ireland. Microsoft may use affiliated companies and sub-processors in providing its services. Where data is processed outside the EU/EEA, the transfer is based on appropriate safeguards, in particular the EU Standard Contractual Clauses and other applicable protection mechanisms.

If you consent to the use of marketing technologies, LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company is also a recipient of the data collected via the LinkedIn Insight Tag. LinkedIn points out that data may also be stored on servers in the USA. For data transfers from the EU/EEA, LinkedIn refers, among other things, to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and other applicable transfer mechanisms and safeguards.

After you accept marketing cookies, Google Ireland Limited is also a recipient of data collected by the Google tag. Processing by Google companies outside the EU/EEA, including in the USA, is possible. Google provides information about processing and transfer mechanisms in the privacy notices linked above.

Storage period

Server log files are deleted or anonymised in accordance with the technical and security-related retention periods of our hosting provider. Business enquiries are deleted once they have been fully handled and no statutory retention or documentation obligations prevent deletion. If no contractual relationship arises, we regularly review whether storage is still necessary and generally delete the data after 24 months at the latest.

Information from executive paper requests is deleted as soon as you withdraw your consent or the purpose no longer applies, and at the latest after 24 months without further contact, unless statutory retention obligations prevent deletion.

Note for clients and project participants

This privacy policy covers visits to this website and contact via the channels described here. Personal data that we process for a client in the course of a transformation or implementation project is governed by the respective service agreement and, where required, a separate data processing agreement pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR.

Your rights

Within the scope of the statutory requirements, you have in particular the right of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and objection to processing based on legitimate interests. You can withdraw any consent you have given at any time with effect for the future.

We do not make automated individual decisions within the meaning of Art. 22 GDPR regarding visitors to this website.
