3. general notes and mandatory information

Privacy

The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is data that can be used to identify you personally. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.

We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating by email) may be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possibl

Note on the responsible body.

The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:

Anja Lehmann
c/o COCENTER
Koppoldstr. 1
86551 Aichach

Telephone: +49 1520 4522320
e-mail: info@vandyra-design.com

The controller is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g. names, e-mail addresses, etc.).

Storage duration

Unless a more specific storage period has been specified in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for processing the data no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, the deletion will take place after these reasons no longer apply.

General information on the legal basis for data processing on this website

If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR, insofar as special categories of data are processed in accordance with Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR. In the event of express consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also carried out on the basis of Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information in your end device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), the data processing is also carried out on the basis of Art. 25 para. 1 GDPR. Consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is required for the fulfillment of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data if this is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR. Data processing may also be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Information on the relevant legal bases in each individual case is provided in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.

Note on the transfer of data to third countries that are not secure under data protection law and the transfer to US companies that are not DPF-certified

Among other things, we use tools from companies based in third countries that are not secure under data protection law and US tools whose providers are not certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these countries and processed there. We would like to point out that no level of data protection comparable to that in the EU can be guaranteed in third countries that are unsafe under data protection law.

We would like to point out that the USA, as a safe third country, generally has a level of data protection comparable to that in the EU. Data transfer to the USA is therefore permitted if the recipient is certified under the „EU-US Data Privacy Framework“ (DPF) or has suitable additional guarantees. Information on data transfers to third countries, including the data recipients, can be found in this privacy policy.

Recipients of personal data

As part of our business activities, we collaborate with various external entities. In this context, it may be necessary to transmit personal data to these external parties. We only share personal data with external parties when it is necessary for the fulfillment of a contract, when we are legally obligated to do so (e.g., transmission of data to tax authorities), when we have a legitimate interest in the data transfer according to Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR, or when another legal basis permits the data transfer. When using processors, we only share our customers' personal data based on a valid contract for data processing. In the case of joint processing, a contract for joint processing will be concluded.

Withdrawal of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing activities are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke any consent you have already given at any time. The legality of the data processing that has occurred prior to the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

 

Right to Object to Data Collection in Certain Cases and Against Direct Marketing (Article 21 GDPR)

IF THE DATA PROCESSING IS CARRIED OUT ON THE BASIS OF ARTICLE 6 (1) (E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. YOU CAN FIND THE RELEVANT LEGAL BASIS FOR THE PROCESSING HEREIN. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING IS FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION UNDER ARTICLE 21 (1) GDPR).

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, affected individuals have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the member state of their habitual residence, their workplace, or the location of the alleged violation. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically based on your consent or for the performance of a contract handed over to yourself or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent that it is technically feasible.

Access, Rectification, and Deletion

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain free information about your stored personal data, its origin, and recipients and the purpose of data processing and, where applicable, the right to rectification or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time regarding this and for further questions about personal data.

Right to Restrict Processing

You have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data at any time. You can contact us for this purpose at any time. The right to restrict processing applies in the following cases:

• If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
• If the processing of your personal data is unlawful, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
• If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of processing your personal data instead of deletion.
• If you have lodged an objection under Article 21 (1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your and our interests. As long as it is not clear whose interests outweigh, you have the right to demand the restriction of processing your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data – apart from its storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a member state.

SSL or TLS Encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator. An encrypted connection is recognized by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

 

Objection to Advertising Emails

The use of contact details published as part of the imprint obligation for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and informational materials is hereby contradicted. The operators of the sites expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited sending of advertising information, for example, through spam emails.

4. Data Collection on This Website

Cookies

Our websites use so-called "cookies." Cookies are small data packets and do not harm your end device. They are either temporarily stored for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies) on your end device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit ends. Persistent cookies remain stored on your end device until you delete them yourself or an automatic deletion occurs through your web browser.

Cookies may originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third parties (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies allow the integration of specific services from third parties within web pages (e.g., cookies for processing payment services).

Cookies serve various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart function or displaying videos). Other cookies may be used to evaluate user behavior or for advertising purposes.

Cookies that are necessary for carrying out the electronic communication process, for providing certain functions desired by you (e.g., for the shopping cart function), or for optimizing the website (e.g., cookies for measuring web audience) are stored on the basis of Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR unless another legal basis is stated. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent is requested for the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies, processing will take place exclusively based on this consent (Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR and section 25 (1) TTDSG); consent can be revoked at any time.

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

You can find out which cookies and services are used on this website from this privacy policy.

Server Log Files

The provider of the sites automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files that your browser automatically transmits to us. This includes:

• Type and version of the browser
• Operating system used
• Referrer URL
• Hostname of the accessing computer
• Time of the server request
• IP address

A compilation of this data with other data sources is not carried out.

The collection of this data takes place on the basis of Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free representation and optimization of its website – for this purpose, the server log files must be collected.

Contact Form

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your information from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provide there, will be stored for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not share this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR, provided your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of inquiries directed to us (Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR) or on your consent (Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR) if this has been requested; the consent can be revoked at any time.

The data you enter in the contact form remains with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage ceases (e.g., after the processing of your inquiry is completed). Legal obligations, in particular retention periods, remain unaffected.

Inquiries via Email, Phone, or Fax

If you contact us via email, phone, or fax, your request, including all resulting personal data (name, inquiry), will be stored and processed for the purpose of handling your concern. We do not share this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR, provided your request is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of inquiries directed to us (Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR) or on your consent (Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR) if this has been requested; the consent can be revoked at any time.

The data you send to us via contact inquiries remains with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage ceases (e.g., after the processing of your concern is completed). Legal obligations, particularly legal retention periods, remain unaffected.

Comment Function on This Website

For the comment function on this site, in addition to your comment, information about the time of creation of the comment, your email address, and, if you do not post anonymously, the username you choose will be stored.

Storage of IP Address

Our comment function stores the IP addresses of users who leave comments. Since we do not review comments on this website before they are published, we need this data to be able to take action against the author in the case of legal violations such as insults or propaganda.

Subscribe to Comments

As a user of the site, you can subscribe to comments after registering. You will receive a confirmation email to check whether you are the owner of the provided email address. You can unsubscribe from this function at any time via a link in the info emails. The data entered when subscribing to comments will be deleted in this case; if you have submitted this data for other purposes and elsewhere (e.g., newsletter subscription), this data will remain with us.

Storage Duration of Comments

The comments and the associated data are stored and remain on this website until the commented content has been completely deleted or the comments must be deleted for legal reasons (e.g., offensive comments).

Legal Basis

The storage of comments is based on your consent (Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR). You can revoke your consent at any time. A simple informal communication via email to us is sufficient. The legality of data processing operations that have already occurred remains unaffected by the revocation.

 

5. Social Media

Social Media Elements with Shariff

This website uses elements from social media (e.g., Facebook, X, Instagram, Pinterest, XING, LinkedIn, Tumblr).

The social media elements can usually be recognized by the respective social media logos. In order to ensure data protection on this website, we only use these elements together with the so-called "Shariff" solution. This application prevents the personal data integrated on this website from being transmitted to the respective provider upon the first visit of the page.

Only when you activate the respective social media element by clicking the corresponding button is a direct connection established with the provider's server (consent). Once you activate the social media element, the respective provider receives the information that you have visited this website with your IP address. If you are simultaneously logged into your respective social media account (e.g., Facebook), the provider can assign the visit to this website to your user account.

Activating the plugin constitutes consent within the meaning of Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR and section 25 (1) TTDSG. This consent can be revoked at any time with effect for the future.

The use of the service is intended to obtain legally required consents for the use of certain technologies. The legal basis for this is Article 6 (1) (c) GDPR.

 

Instagram

This website has integrated functions of the Instagram service. These functions are offered by Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

When the social media element is active, a direct connection is established between your device and the Instagram server. Instagram thereby receives information about your visit to this website.

If you are logged into your Instagram account, you can link the contents of this website to your Instagram profile by clicking the Instagram button. This allows Instagram to assign the visit to this website to your user account. We would like to point out that we as the provider of the sites have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data as well as its use by Instagram.

If consent (Consent) has been obtained, the use of the above-mentioned service is based on Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR and section 25 TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time. If no consent was obtained, the use of the service is based on our legitimate interest in maximally comprehensive visibility on social media.

To the extent that this tool captures personal data on our website and forwards it to Facebook or Instagram, we and Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland are jointly responsible for this data processing (Article 26 GDPR). Joint responsibility is limited to the collection of the data and its transfer to Facebook or Instagram. The further processing after the forwarding by Facebook or Instagram is not part of the joint responsibility. Our jointly obligatory obligations have been laid down in a joint processing agreement. The text of the agreement can be found at: https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum. According to this agreement, we are responsible for providing data protection information when using the Facebook or Instagram tools and for the data protection-compliant implementation of the tools on our website. Facebook is responsible for the data security of the Facebook or Instagram products. The rights of affected individuals (e.g., requests for information) regarding data processed by Facebook or Instagram can be asserted directly with Facebook. If you assert the affected rights with us, we are obliged to pass these on to Facebook.

The data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Details can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/legal/EU_data_transfer_addendum, https://privacycenter.instagram.com/policy/, and https://de-de.facebook.com/help/566994660333381.

For more information, please see Instagram's privacy policy: https://privacycenter.instagram.com/policy/.

The company is certified under the "EU-US Data Privacy Framework" (DPF). The DPF is an agreement between the European Union and the USA that aims to ensure compliance with European data protection standards when processing data in the USA. Any company certified under the DPF commits to adhere to these data protection standards. You can find more information about this from the provider at the following link: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/participant-search/participant-detail?contact=true&id=a2zt0000000GnywAAC&status=Active

 

6. Analysis Tools and Advertising

WP Statistics

This website uses the analytics tool WP Statistics to statistically evaluate visitor access. The provider is Veronalabs, Tatari 64, 10134 Tallinn, Estonia (https://veronalabs.com).

With WP Statistics, we can analyze the use of our website. WP Statistics collects log files (IP address, referrer, browser used, source of the user, search engine used) and actions that website visitors have taken on the page (e.g., clicks and views).

The data collected by WP Statistics is stored exclusively on our own server.

The use of this analytics tool is based on Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in the anonymized analysis of user behavior to optimize both our web offerings and our advertising. If consent has been requested, the processing will take place exclusively on the basis of Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR and section 25 (1) TTDSG, insofar as the consent covers the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's end device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

IP Anonymization

We use WP Statistics with anonymized IP. Your IP address is shortened so that it can no longer be directly assigned to you.

7. Newsletter

Newsletter Data

If you want to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we need your email address as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the provided email address and that you agree to receive the newsletter. Additional data will only be collected on a voluntary basis. We will use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and will not share this data with third parties.

The processing of the data entered in the newsletter registration form takes place exclusively based on your consent (Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR). You can revoke the consent granted for storing the data, the email address, and their use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example, via the "unsubscribe" link in the newsletter. The legality of data processing operations that occurred before the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data you have stored with us for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be retained by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter with us or the newsletter service provider and will be deleted after unsubscribing from the newsletter or after the purpose for retention ceases. We reserve the right to delete or block email addresses from our newsletter distribution list at our discretion in line with our legitimate interest under Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

Data that has been stored for other purposes will remain unaffected.

After your unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your email address will be retained by us or the newsletter service provider on a blacklist if this is necessary to prevent future mailings. The data on the blacklist will only be used for this purpose and will not be merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with legal requirements regarding the sending of newsletters (legitimate interest under Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR). The storage in the blacklist is not time-limited. You can object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.

 

8. Plugins and Tools

Google Fonts (Local Hosting)

This site uses Google Fonts, which are provided by Google, to ensure a uniform representation of fonts. The Google Fonts are installed locally. A connection to Google servers does not take place.

For more information about Google Fonts, see https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

WP Image CAPTCHA

We use the "Contact Form 7 Image CAPTCHA" plugin on our website to protect our contact forms from spam and abuse. In the course of using this plugin, we collect and process personal data.

This CAPTCHA is intended to check whether the data entry on this website (e.g., in a contact form) is carried out by a human or by an automated program. To do this, the CAPTCHA analyzes the behavior of the website visitor based on various characteristics.

This analysis starts automatically as soon as the website visitor enters a website with an active CAPTCHA. The CAPTCHA evaluates various information for the analysis (e.g., IP address, duration of stay of the website visitor on the website, or mouse movements made by the user). If CAPTCHA is used in "invisible mode," the analyses take place entirely in the background. Website visitors are not notified that an analysis is taking place.

The storage and analysis of the data are based on Article 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting their web offerings from abusive automated scraping and SPAM. If consent has been requested, the processing occurs exclusively on the basis of Article 6 (1) lit. a GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's end device (e.g., device fingerprinting) as defined by the TDDDG. The consent can be revoked at any time.

The data processing is based on standard contractual clauses contained in the data processing supplement to the general terms and conditions of IMI or the data processing agreements.

Purpose of data processing: The processing of this data occurs to ensure the security of our website and to prevent unwanted spam messages. The use of CAPTCHA thus serves to protect our system and your data.

Legal basis: The processing of your personal data is based on our legitimate interest in protecting our website from abusive use (Article 6 (1) lit. f GDPR).

Data transfer: Your data will not be shared with third parties unless required by law or necessary to enforce our rights.

Data retention: The collected data will only be stored as long as necessary to achieve the purposes mentioned above or if there are legal retention obligations.

Your rights: You have the right to request information about the personal data we process about you, to correct incorrect data, to request the deletion of your data, and to request the restriction of processing. Furthermore, you have the right to object to the processing of your data.
