vast limits GmbH may analyze anonymously collected data statistically, with the aim of increasing the security of our company and the personal data we process.

Website Registration

The data subject may be able to register on the website of the controller with the indication of personal data. Which personal data is transmitted to the controller is determined by the registration form. The personal data entered by the data subject is collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the controller. The controller may request a transfer to one or more processors that also uses personal data for an internal purpose which is attributable to the controller.

By registering on the website of the controller, the IP address used by the data subject, date, and time of the registration are also stored. The storage of this data takes because that this is the only way to prevent the misuse of our services, and, if necessary, to make it possible to investigate committed offenses. Insofar, the storage of this data is necessary to secure the controller. This data is not passed on to third parties unless there is a statutory obligation to pass on the data, or if the transfer serves the aim of criminal prosecution.

The entirety of the controller’s employees are available to the data subject as contact persons in this respect.

Newsletter Subscription

This website may offer users the ability to subscribe to a newsletter. The form used for this purpose determines what personal data is transmitted.

vast limits GmbH informs its customers and business partners regularly through a newsletter about company news and offers. A confirmation email will be sent to the email address registered by a data subject when signing up for a newsletter following the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation email is used to prove whether the data subject who signed up for the newsletter is the owner of the email address specified during registration.

During the registration for the newsletter, we also store the IP address of the computer system used by the data subject as well as the then-current date and time. The collection of this data is necessary to understand the (possible) misuse of the email address of a data subject at a later date, and it, therefore, serves the aim of the legal protection of the controller.

The personal data collected as part of newsletter registration will only be used to send our newsletter. Also, newsletter subscribers may be informed by email, as long as this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service. There will be no transfer of personal data collected by the newsletter service to third parties.

The consent to the storage of personal data, which the data subject has given for shipping the newsletter, may be revoked at any time. A corresponding link is found in each newsletter. Alternatively, the unsibscription may be communicated to the controller in a different way.

Newsletter Tracking

The newsletter of vast limits GmbH may contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature image embedded in such emails, which are sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and analysis. This allows a statistical analysis of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, vast limits GmbH may see if and when an email was opened by a data subject, and which links in the email were clicked by data subjects.

Such personal data collected in the newsletter tracking pixels are stored and analyzed by the controller in order to optimize the shipping of the newsletter, as well as to adapt the content of future newsletters better to the interests of the data subject. This personal data will not be passed on to third parties. Data subjects are at any time entitled to revoke the respective separate declaration of consent issued by means of the double-opt-in procedure. After a revocation, this personal data will be deleted by the controller. vast limits GmbH automatically regards a withdrawal from the receipt of the newsletter as a revocation.

If a data subject contacts the controller by email or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject is stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the data controller is stored for processing or contacting the data subject. There is no transfer of this personal data to third parties.

Commenting Functionality

This website may offer users the ability to leave comments. Comments made by the data subject are stored and published, as well as the date of the comment and the user alias chosen by the data subject. In addition, the data subject’s IP address is logged. This IP address storage happens for security reasons in case the data subject violates the rights of third parties or posts illegal content through a comment. This collected personal data will not be passed to third parties unless such a transfer is required by law or serves the aim of the defense of the data controller.

Routine Erasure and Blocking of Personal Data

The data controller shall process and store the personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or as far as this is granted by the European legislator or other legislators in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject to.

If the storage purpose is not applicable, or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data are routinely blocked or erased following legal requirements.

Rights of the Data Subject

If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller.

Right to be Forgotten

Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay.

Where the controller has made personal data public and is obliged pursuant to Article 17(1) to erase the personal data, the controller, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform other controllers processing the personal data that the data subject has requested erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data, as far as processing is not required. An employee will arrange the necessary measures in individual cases.

Right of Restriction of Processing

If one of the aforementioned conditions is met, and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of the processing of personal data stored by vast limits GmbH, he or she may at any time contact any employee of the controller who will arrange the restriction of the processing.

Right to Data Portability

Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator, to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which was provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. He or she shall have the right to transmit that data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data has been provided, as long as the processing is based on consent pursuant to point (a) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR or point (a) of Article 9(2) of the GDPR, or on a contract pursuant to point (b) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR, and the processing is carried out by automated means, as long as the processing is not necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

Furthermore, in exercising his or her right to data portability under Article 20(1) of the GDPR, the data subject shall have the right to have personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and when doing so does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

To assert the right to data portability, the data subject may at any time contact any employee.

Right to Object

Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to object, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, at any time, to processing of personal data concerning him or her, which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

vast limits GmbH shall no longer process the personal data in the event of the objection unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject, or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

If vast limits GmbH processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject shall have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning him or her for such marketing. This applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to vast limits GmbH to the processing for direct marketing purposes, vast limits GmbH will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.

In addition, the data subject has the right, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, to object to processing of personal data concerning him or her by vast limits GmbH for scientific or historical research purposes, or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) of the GDPR, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.

To exercise the right to object, the data subject may directly contact any employee. Also, the data subject is free in the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to use his or her right to object by automated means using technical specifications.

Automated Individual Decision-Making and Profiling

Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her, or similarly significantly affects him or her, as long as the decision is:

• not is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data controller
• not authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests
• not based on the data subject’s explicit consent.

If the decision is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data controller, or it is based on the data subject’s explicit consent, vast limits GmbH shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and contest the decision.

If the data subject wishes to exercise the rights concerning automated individual decision-making, he or she may at any time directly contact any employee of the controller.

Right to Withdraw Data Protection Consent

Data Protection for Applications

The data controller shall collect and process the personal data of applicants for the application procedure, which may be carried out electronically. If the data controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the submitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with legal requirements. If no employment contract is concluded with the applicant by the controller, the application documents shall be automatically erased two months after notification of the refusal decision, provided that no other legitimate interests of the controller are opposed to the erasure. Legitimate interest in this relation is, e.g., a burden of proof in a procedure under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

Google Analytics

Google Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address truncated by the last octet prior to its storage using the “_anonymizeIp()” method) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States .

You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. By using this website, you consent to the processing of data about you by Google in the manner and for the purposes set out above.

You can opt-out from being tracked by Google Analytics with effect for the future by downloading and installing Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Addon for your current web browser.

Adobe Fonts

This website may use Adobe Fonts for the visual design of the site. Adobe Fonts is a service of Adobe Systems Software Ireland Companies (4-6 Riverwalk, Citywest Business Campus, Dublin 24, Republic of Ireland; hereinafter ‘Adobe’), which grants us access to a font library. To incorporate the fonts we use, your browser must connect to Adobe servers and download the fonts we require for our website. For more information about Adobe Fonts, see the Adobe privacy policy.

Your consent is the legal basis for the integration of Adobe Fonts and the associated data transfer to Adobe (Art. 6 Para. 1 (a) GDPR). We do not collect any personal data via the integration of Adobe Fonts.

Adobe is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement, which provides a guarantee to comply with European data protection law.

You can configure your browser in such a way that no fonts will be loaded from Adobe’s servers (e.g., by installing add-ons such as NoScript). If you block access to Adobe’s servers, text will be displayed using the system’s default font.

Legal Basis for the Processing

Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR serves 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 party, the processing is based on Article 6(1) lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations which are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries concerning our products or services. In case our company is subject to a legal obligation by which processing of personal data is required, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6(1) lit. c GDPR.

In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6(1) lit. d GDPR.

Finally, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not covered by any of the abovementioned legal grounds if processing is necessary for 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 which require protection of personal data. Such processing operations are particularly permissible because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator who considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a client of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).

The Legitimate Interests Pursued by the Controller or by a Third Party

Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR our legitimate interest is to carry out our business in favor of the well-being of all our employees and the shareholders.

Period For Which the Personal Data Will Be Stored

The criteria used to determine the storage period of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiration of that period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, as long as it is no longer necessary for the fulfillment of initiation of a contract.

Miscellaneous

We clarify that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g., tax regulations) or can result from contractual provisions (e.g., information on the contractual partner).

It may be necessary that the data subject provides us with personal data to conclude a contract. The data subject is, for example, obliged to provide us with personal data when our company signs a contract with him or her. The non-provision of the personal data would have the consequence that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded.

Before personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject may contact any employee of the controller who will clarify to the data subject whether the provision of the personal data is required by law, contract, or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and the consequences of non-provision of the personal data.

Existence of Automated Decision-Making

We do not use automatic decision-making or profiling.
