  1. Information on data protection
    1. INTRODUCTION

    With the following information we would like to give you as a “data subject” an overview of the collection, use and processing of your personal data by us and your rights under data protection laws. In principle, it is possible to use our Internet pages without entering personal data. However, if you want to use special services of our company via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we will generally obtain your consent.

     

    The processing of personal data, such as your name, address, or e-mail address, shall always be in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in accordance with the data protection regulations applicable to the Vignold GmbH.

     

    As the controller, we have implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions may be subject to security vulnerabilities, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, you are free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone or by mail.

    You can contact our data protection officer directly at any time with any questions or suggestions regarding data protection.

     

    1. TECHNICAL

     

    When you use our website for information purposes only, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise transmit information to us, we only collect the data that your browser transmits to our server (in so-called “server log files”). Our website collects a series of general data and information with each call of a page by you or an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the server log files. The following data may be collected

     

    the browser types and versions used

    the operating system used by the accessing system,

    the website from which an accessing system arrives at our website (so-called referrer),

    the sub-websites that are accessed via an accessing system on our website,

    the date and time of an access to the Internet site,

    an Internet protocol address (IP address) and

    the Internet service provider of the accessing system.

    When using this general data and information, we do not draw any conclusions about your person. Rather, this information is needed to deliver the content of our website correctly, to optimize the content of our website as well as the advertising for it, to ensure the long-term functionality of our IT systems and the technology of our website as well as to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber attack.

     

    Therefore, the data and information collected is, on the one hand, statistically analyzed by us and, on the other hand, it is evaluated with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise so as to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The data of the server log files are stored separately from any personal data provided by a data subject and are automatically deleted after 7 days.

     

    The legal basis for the data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f DS-GVO. Our legitimate interest follows from the purposes for data collection listed above.

    4.1. GOOGLE ANALYTICS

     

    On our websites, we use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (https://www.google.de/intl/de/about/) (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; hereinafter “Google”). The service uses “cookies” (see under item 6), which are stored on your terminal device. The information collected by the cookies is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

     

    IP anonymization is used on this website. The IP address of the user is shortened within the member states of the EU and the European Economic Area. This shortening eliminates the personal reference of your IP address. Under the terms of the agreement on commissioned data that we have concluded with Google, the latter uses the information collected to compile an evaluation of website use and website activity and provides services associated with internet use.

     

    Google Analytics is used in the interest of optimizing our website and designing it to meet the needs of our customers. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f DS-GVO.

     

    You have the option of preventing the storage of the cookie on your device by making the appropriate settings in your browser; however, we would like to point out that in this case not all functions of this website can be used to their full extent. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing a browser add-on (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de). As an alternative to the browser add-on, especially for browsers on mobile devices, you can also prevent the collection by Google Analytics by clicking on the following link: Disable Google Analytics. An opt-out cookie will be set that prevents the future collection of your data when visiting this website. The opt-out cookie is only valid in this browser and only for our website and is stored on your device. If you delete the cookies in this browser, you must set the opt-out cookie again.For more information on data protection in connection with Google Analytics, see for example the Google Analytics help (https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de).

     

    4.2. GOOGLE SEARCH CONSOLE

     

    For the purpose of continuously optimizing the Google ranking of our website, we use Google Search Console, a web analytics service provided by Google. Through Google Search Console, we can perform search analytics that tell us how often our website appears in Google search results. This allows us to monitor and manage our website in the search index.

     

    No personal user or tracking data is processed or transmitted to Google as part of the use of Google Search Console.

     

    1. CONTENTS OF OUR WEBSITE

    Contacting us/contact form

     

    In the context of contacting us (e.g. via contact form or e-mail), personal data is collected to the extent necessary. Which data is specifically collected in the case of a contact form can be seen from the respective contact form. This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of responding to your request or for contacting you and the associated technical administration.

     

    The legal basis for processing the data is our legitimate interest in responding to your request pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f DS-GVO. If your contact aims at the conclusion of a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f DS-GVO. Your data will be deleted after final processing of your request; this is the case if it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter concerned has been conclusively clarified and provided that there are no statutory retention obligations to the contrary.

    1. COOKIES

     

    We use cookies on our website. These are small files that are automatically created by your browser and stored on your IT system (laptop, tablet, smartphone or similar) when you visit our site. Cookies do not cause any damage to your end device, do not contain viruses, Trojans or other malware.

     

    In the cookie, information is stored that arises in each case in connection with the specific end device used. This does not mean, however, that we gain direct knowledge of your identity.

     

    The use of cookies serves on the one hand to make the use of our offer more pleasant for you. For example, we use so-called session cookies to recognize that you have already visited individual pages of our website. These are automatically deleted after you leave our site.

     

    On the other hand, we use cookies to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimizing our offer for you. These cookies enable us to automatically recognize that you have already been to our site when you visit it again. These cookies are automatically deleted after a defined period of time. The data processed by cookies is necessary for the aforementioned purposes to protect our legitimate interests as well as the legitimate interests of third parties pursuant to Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. f DS-GVO.

     

    Most browsers accept cookies automatically. However, you can configure your browser so that no cookies are stored on your computer or a notice always appears before a new cookie is created. However, the complete deactivation of cookies may mean that you cannot use all the functions of our website.

     

    1. ADOBE TYPE KIT

     

    We use Adobe Typekit for the visual design of our website. Typekit is a service provided by Adobe Systems Software Ireland Ltd. that gives us access to a font library. To integrate the fonts we use, your browser must connect to an Adobe server in the United States and download the font required for our website. Adobe thereby receives the information that our website was accessed from your IP address.
