Data protection declaration/information obligation according to §5 DDG & Art. 13/14 GDPR

Introduction:

The protection of personal data is far more important to us, VU.SOLUTIONS GmbH & Co. KG, far more than just complying with legal regulations. We therefore appreciate your interest in how we handle personal data.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address or telephone number of a person, is always carried out in accordance with applicable data protection law.

By means of this privacy policy, we would like to inform the public about the type, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. In addition, we wish to inform data subjects about their rights.

The VU.SOLUTIONS GmbH & Co. KG has implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data processed via this website is protected as comprehensively as possible.

Despite our care, security gaps can occur in Internet-based data transmission, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, you are of course free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone or post.

Purposes and legal basis of data processing – generally when visiting the website

If you use our website for purely informational purposes, do not register or otherwise provide us with information (e.g. by email), we only collect the data that your browser transmits to our server (so-called ‘server log files’). This data is processed in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website. This data is not used for any other purpose or even passed on. However, we reserve the right to analyse the log files retrospectively if there are indications of unlawful use.

Purposes and legal basis of data processing – contact form

When you contact us (e.g. via contact form or e-mail), personal data is collected. This data is stored and used exclusively for responding to your enquiry and the associated technical administration. The legal basis for processing the data is our legitimate interest in responding to your request in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If the purpose of your contact is to conclude a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Your data will be deleted after final processing of your enquiry; this is the case if it can be inferred that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified and if no statutory retention obligations prohibit us from deleting it.

Purposes and legal basis of data processing – comment function

When using the comment function on this website, in addition to your comment, information on the time the comment was created and the commentator name you have chosen will be saved and published on the website. In addition, your IP address is also logged and stored. The IP address is stored for security reasons and in the event that a comment violates the rights of third parties or illegal content is posted. The legal basis for the storage of your data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b and f GDPR. We reserve the right to delete comments if third parties as unlawful or offensive object to them.

Purposes and legal basis of data processing – newsletter function

After registering for our e-mail newsletter, we will regularly send you information about our company and our offers. The only mandatory information for sending the newsletter is your e-mail address. The provision of further data is voluntary and these are used to address you personally. We use the so-called double opt-in procedure to send the newsletter. This means that we will only send you an e-mail newsletter if you have expressly confirmed to us that you consent to the sending of newsletters. We will then send you a confirmation e-mail asking you to confirm that you wish to receive future newsletters by clicking on a corresponding link.

By clicking on the confirmation link, you give us your consent to the use of your personal data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. When you register for the newsletter, we store your IP address entered by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) as well as the date and time of registration in order to be able to trace any possible misuse of your e-mail address later. The data collected by us when you register for the newsletter will be used exclusively for advertising by means of the newsletter. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time using the link provided in the newsletter. After cancellation, your e-mail address will be deleted from our newsletter distribution list immediately, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use data beyond this, which is permitted by law and about which we inform you in this declaration.

In the event that there is a legal obligation for disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR, and the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR is necessary for processing in the context of our processes and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in not disclosing your data.
