Our website collects a series of general data and information when a data subject or automated system calls up the website. This general data and information is stored in the log files of the server. The following can be recorded:

• browser types and versions used,
• the operating system used by the accessing system,
• the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers),
• the sub-websites, which are accessed via an accessing system on our website,

We use various services of Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland on our website. Further information on the individual specific services of Google that we use on this website can be found in the further course of this data protection declaration.

By integrating Google services, Google may collect information (including personal data) and process it. It cannot be ruled out that Google may also transmit the information to a server in a third country.

As can be seen from Google's Privacy Shield certification (which can be found under https://www.privacyshield.gov/list with the search term "Google"), Google has committed itself to comply with the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework and the Swiss-US Privacy Shield Framework regarding the collection, use and storage of personal data from EU member states and Switzerland. Google (including Google LLC and its wholly owned subsidiaries in the United States) has declared through this certification that it adheres to the Privacy Shield Principles. For more information, see https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/frameworks/.

We ourselves cannot influence which data Google actually collects and processes. However, Google states that, in principle, the following information (including personal data) may be processed:

• Log data (in particular IP address)
• Location-based information
• Unique application numbers
• Cookies and similar technologies

If you are signed in to your Google Account, Google may add the processed information to your account and treat it as personal data, depending on your account settings. For more information, see https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/partners.

Google states, inter alia, the following:

"We may link personal data from one service to information and personal data from other Google services. This makes it easier for you, for example, to share content with friends and acquaintances.

The provision of personal data is neither legally nor contractually required and is also not necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are also not obliged to provide the personal data. However, non-provision may mean that you will not be able to use this function of our website or not to its full extent.

We have integrated the component Google Analytics (with anonymization function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analysis is the collection, collection and evaluation of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analysis service collects, among other things, data about the website from which a data subject came to a website (so-called referrer), which subpages of the website were accessed or how often and for how long a subpage was viewed. A web analysis is mainly used to optimize a website and for the cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising.

The operating company of the Google Analytics component is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.

We only use Google Analytics with activated IP anonymization ("anonymize IP"). By means of this addition, the IP address of your Internet connection will be shortened and anonymized by Google if our Internet pages are accessed from a member state of the European Union or from another state party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyse the flow of visitors to our website. Google uses the data and information obtained, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports for us that show the activities on our website, and to provide other services related to the use of our website.

The legal basis for the processing of your data is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR.

Google Analytics places a cookie on your system. By setting the cookie, Google is able to analyze the use of our website. Each time you visit one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by us and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the Internet browser on your system is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. As part of this technical process, Google gains knowledge of personal data, such as your IP address, which Google uses, among other things, to trace the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently to enable commission settlements.

The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the access time, the location from which access was made and the frequency of your visits to our website. Each time you visit our website, this personal data, including the IP address of your Internet connection, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected via the technical process to third parties.

You can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on your system. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, you have the option of objecting to and preventing the collection of data generated by Google Analytics relating to the use of this website and the processing of this data by Google. To do this, you must download and install a browser add-on from the https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout   . This browser add-on tells Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information about visits to websites may be transmitted to Google Analytics.

We have integrated Google Maps on our website. This allows us to display interactive maps directly on the website and enables you to conveniently use the map function.

The operating company of Google Maps services is Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google processes your data in the USA and has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield. For more information, see https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.

By visiting the website, Google receives information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our website. This occurs regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be assigned directly to your account.

For more information about Google's data processing, please refer to the Google Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy. There you can also change your personal privacy settings in the privacy center. Additional terms of use for Google Maps can be found at https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/help/terms_maps/.

The legal basis for the processing of your data is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR.

Revocation of your consent

If you do not want the assignment in your profile on Google, you must log out of Google before activating the button. Google stores your data as usage profiles and uses them for purposes of advertising, market research and/or demand-oriented design of its website. Such an evaluation takes place in particular (also for users who are not logged in) to provide needs-based advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact Google to exercise this right.

We do not collect any personal data through the integration of Google Maps.

The provision of your personal data is voluntary, solely on the basis of your consent. If you prevent access, however, this may lead to functional restrictions on the website.

We use external fonts on our website, so-called Google Fonts. Google Fonts is a service of Google Inc. ("Google"), 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

The integration of the web fonts takes place via an interface ("API") to the Google services. By integrating the web fonts, Google may collect information (including personal data) and process it. It cannot be ruled out that Google may also transmit the information to a server in a third country.

Information on Google's existing Privacy Shield certification and other relevant data on data processing by Google in the context of the use of Google services can be found in this privacy policy under section "x) Information on Google services".

We ourselves do not collect any data in the context of the provision of Google Fonts.

By integrating Google Fonts, we pursue the purpose of being able to display uniform fonts on your device.

The legal basis for the processing of personal data described here is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest required for this lies in the great benefit offered by a uniform representation of the fonts. Due to the possibility of a uniform presentation, we keep the design effort lower than if we had to react to font standards of different operating systems or browsers with our own graphically adapted websites. Google also has, among other things, a legitimate interest in the (personal) data collected in order to improve its own services.

We use HubSpot as a CRM tool. HubSpot is the software of a company from the USA (HubSpot, Inc., 25 First Street, 2nd Floor, Cambridge, MA 02141 USA) with a branch in Ireland (contact: HubSpot, 2nd Floor 30 North Wall Quay, Dublin 1, Ireland, Phone: +353 1 5187500). HubSpot is subject to the terms of the EU–U.S. Privacy Shield.

HubSpot is an integrated software solution that we use to cover various aspects of our online marketing. These include email marketing (newsletters and automated mailings, e.g. to provide downloads), social media publishing & reporting, reporting (e.g. traffic sources, accesses, etc.), contact management (e.g. user segmentation & CRM), landing pages and contact forms.

All information collected is stored on HubSpot's servers. They can be used by us to contact visitors to our website and to determine which services of our company are of interest to them. We use all information collected exclusively to optimize our marketing measures.

The legal basis for the processing of your data is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR.

We have integrated the Matomo component on this website. Matomo is an open source software tool for web analysis. Web analysis is the collection, collection and evaluation of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. Among other things, a web analysis tool collects data about which website you came to a website from (so-called referrer), which subpages of the website were accessed or how often and for how long a subpage was viewed. A web analysis is mainly used to optimize a website and for the cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising.

The software is operated on the server of the controller, the data protection-sensitive log files are stored exclusively on this server.

The purpose of the Matomo component is to analyse the flow of visitors to our website. The controller uses the data and information obtained, inter alia, to evaluate the use of this website in order to compile online reports showing the activities on our website.

Matomo places a cookie on your system. By setting the cookie, we are able to analyze the use of our website. Each time you visit one of the individual pages of this website, the Internet browser on your system is automatically prompted by the Matomo component to transmit data to our server for the purpose of online analysis. As part of this technical process, we gain knowledge of personal data, such as your IP address, which serves us, among other things, to trace the origin of visitors and clicks.

The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the access time, the location from which access was made and the frequency of visits to our website. Each time you visit our website, this personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection you are using, is transmitted to our server. This personal data is stored by us. We do not pass this personal data on to third parties.

The legal basis for the processing of your data is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR.

Revocation of your consent

We use Matomo exclusively with your consent. Once you have given your consent, you can revoke it by

If we make an advance payment, for example when purchasing on account, we reserve the right to obtain identity and credit information from specialized service companies (credit agencies) in order to safeguard our legitimate interests. For this purpose, we transmit your personal data required for a credit check to the following companies:

SCHUFA Holding AGKormoranweg 565201 Wiesbaden

Creditreform Boniversum GmbH Hellersbergstraße 1141460 Neuss

The credit report may contain probability values (score values) that are calculated on the basis of scientifically recognized mathematical-statistical methods and whose calculation includes, among other things, address data. We use the information received about the statistical probability of a payment default for a balanced decision on the establishment, execution or termination of the contractual relationship. Your interests worthy of protection will be taken into account in accordance with the statutory provisions.

Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose.

If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, in the case of processing operations necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of any other service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services.

If our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data, such as to fulfil tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR.

Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal grounds, if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject. Such processing operations are permitted to us in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, it took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (recital 47 sentence 2 GDPR).

If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I lit. f GDPR, our legitimate interest is the efficient execution of our business activities for the benefit of our employees and our shareholders.

The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiry of this period, the corresponding data will be routinely deleted, provided that they are no longer required for the fulfilment or initiation of the contract.

Otherwise, specific criteria for the retention period are listed in the individual sections of this data protection declaration.

You have the  possibility to review, change or delete the personal data provided to us at any time by sending us an e-mail to datenschutz@vialytics.de. In this way, you can also exclude the receipt of further information for the future.

You also have the right to revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.

The deletion of the stored personal data takes place when you revoke your consent to the storage.

We process and store your personal data only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or if this has been provided for by the European legislator or another legislator in laws or regulations to which we are subject.

If the storage purpose no longer applies or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.

We clarify that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also result from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner). Sometimes it may be necessary for a contract to be concluded by a data subject to provide us with personal data, which must subsequently be processed by us. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data when our company concludes a contract with him or her. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded.

Before personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee clarifies to the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and what consequences would be if the personal data were not provided.

As a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision-making or profiling.

Changes in the law or changes to our internal processes may make it necessary to adapt this data protection declaration.

In the event of such a change, we will notify you no later than six weeks before it comes into effect. You are generally entitled to a right of revocation with regard to your consent.

Please note that (unless you exercise your right of withdrawal) the current version of the Privacy Policy is the valid one.

Note: This data protection information has been prepared using various sources – including the links provided here. Current case law as well as interpretations and comments have been taken into account as far as we are aware.
