Data collection on our website 

Cookies
Some of the Internet pages use so-called cookies. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain any viruses. Cookies serve to make our website more user-friendly, effective and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.

Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies”. They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your terminal until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognise your browser the next time you visit our website.

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or generally, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. When cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be limited.

 

Server log files  

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

– browser type and browser version

– operating system used

– referrer URL

– host name of the accessing computer

– time of the server request

– IP address

This data is not combined with other data sources.

The basis for the data processing is art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

 

Contact form 

If you send us enquiries using the contact form, your details from the enquiry form, including the contact data you provided there, will be stored for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent.

The data entered in the contact form is therefore processed exclusively on the basis of your consent (art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. All you need to do is send us an informal e-mail.

The legality of the data processing processes carried out up to the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
The data entered by you in the contact form will remain with us until you request us to delete it, your consent for storage is revoked, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

Google Analytics cookies are stored on the basis of art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour in order to optimise both its website and advertising.

 

IP anonymisation 

We have activated the IP anonymisation function on this website. This will cause your IP address to be shortened by Google within Member States of the European Union or in other countries party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide the website operator with other services relating to website and Internet use. The IP address transmitted by your browser in the context of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data.

May 24th was a very special day for us. On that day we celebrated our 90 anniversary. It was a moment for us to look back on nine decades of successful business activities based on hard work, innovation and partnership.

Our journey began 90 years ago in Berlin, as a service provider for the film industry, transporting film copies, negatives and film props, by hand pulled wagon, by bicycle and by streetcar. Quickly international connections were formed and Kroll was one of the first forwarders to transport goods via zeppelin and airplane.

Since then we have continually developed further. Today we are proud to offer our services from eight locations in Germany. We serve our customers worldwide by air, sea, road transport, rail and by bicycle. Kroll has established itself in the market as a successful logistics expert.

This success would not have been possible without the engagement of our employees. Their dedication, competence and teamwork have made Kroll International Spedition what it is today. Without them we would not be in the position to offer our customers the excellent service that they have come to expect from us.

Kroll is a medium-sized family business. The shareholders form the backbone of the company. They are however, much more than just the owners of Kroll. They are our advisors, supporters and they inspire us with their ideas and their knowledge that they have acquired while being part of Kroll.

Our success is the result of our corporate culture which is based on integrity, consistency, innovation and customer satisfaction. We are proud of our values and of the fact that we are constantly developing our knowledge and skills further to meet the ever changing needs of our customers.

Our goal for the coming years is to continue to play an important role in freight forwarding and logistics and to continue to offer the highest level of service.

We would also like to thank all of our former employees who have worked hard to make Kroll International Spedition that what it is today. Their dedication has helped create our success and their contributions will not be forgotten.

On the occasion of our 90th anniversary we want to, again, express our gratitude to our customers, our employees and our shareholders. We are grateful for their support and look forward to working together in the coming years.
