Data Protection

With the following information, we would like to give you, as the “data subject,” an overview of how we process your personal data and your rights under data protection laws. It is generally possible to use our website without entering any personal data. However, if you wish to use specific services offered by our company via our website, it may be necessary to process personal data. 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 email address, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in compliance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to “.VORLAGEN u. Kunden ohne GO DSM”. With this privacy policy, we would like to inform you about the scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process.

As the controller, we have implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible of the personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, 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 post.

You too can take simple and easy-to-implement measures to protect yourself against unauthorized access to your data by third parties. We would therefore like to take this opportunity to give you some tips on how to handle your data securely:

• Protect your account (login, user or customer account) and your IT system (computer, laptop, tablet, or mobile device) with secure passwords.
• Only you should have access to the passwords.
• Ensure that you only ever use your passwords for one account (login, user or customer account).
• Do not use the same password for different websites, applications, or online services.
• When using publicly accessible IT systems or IT systems shared with other people, it is particularly important that you log out after each time you log in to a website, application, or online service.

Passwords should consist of at least 12 characters and be chosen so that they cannot be easily guessed. Therefore, they should not contain common words from everyday life, your own name, or the names of relatives, but should include upper and lower case letters, numbers, and special characters.

The controller within the meaning of the GDPR is:

Valontec GmbH

Representative of the controller: Martin Gruber

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption to ensure the security of data processing and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders, login data, or contact requests that you send to us as the operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser contains “https://” instead of “http://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

We use this technology to protect your transmitted data.

When you use our website for informational purposes only, without registering or otherwise providing us with information or consenting to processing that requires consent, we only collect data that is technically necessary to provide the service. This is usually data that your browser transmits to our server (in so-called server log files). Our website collects a range of general data and information each time you or an automated system accesses a page. This general data and information is stored in the server’s log files. The following may be collected:

1. browser types and versions used,

2. the operating system used by the accessing system,

3. the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrer),

4. the subpages that are accessed via an accessing system on our website,

5. the date and time of access to the website,

6. an abbreviated Internet Protocol address (anonymized IP address), and

7. the Internet service provider of the accessing system.

We do not draw any conclusions about your person when using this general data and information. Rather, this information is required in order to

1. deliver the content of our website correctly,

2. optimize the content of our website and the advertising for it,

3. ensure the long-term functionality of our IT systems and the technology of our website, and

4. provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber attack.

We therefore evaluate this collected data and information statistically on the one hand and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company on the other, in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data in the server log files is stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

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

We host our website with IONOS SE, Elgendorfer Str. 57, 56410 Montabaur (hereinafter referred to as IONOS).

When you visit our website, your personal data (e.g., IP addresses in log files) is processed on IONOS servers.

The use of IONOS is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in ensuring that our website is displayed and provided as reliably as possible and that it is secure.

We have concluded a contract for order processing (AVV) with IONOS in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR. This is a contract required by data protection law, which ensures that IONOS processes the personal data of our website visitors only in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.

We only use technically necessary cookies on our website. Therefore, you will not see a cookie notice and no consent to the use of cookies will be obtained.

We use the consent management tool “Complianz GDPR/CCPA Cookie Consent” (Complianz) from Complianz B.V., Kalmarweg 14-5, 9723 JG Groningen, Netherlands. This service enables us to obtain and manage website users’ consent to data processing.

Complianz uses cookies to collect data generated by end users who use our website. When an end user gives their consent, Complianz automatically logs the following data:

• Browser information,
• Date and time of access,
• Device information,
• The URL of the page visited,
• Banner language,
• Consent ID,
• The consent status of the end user, which serves as proof of consent.

The consent status is also stored in the end user’s browser so that the website can automatically read and comply with the end user’s consent for all subsequent page requests and future end user sessions for up to 12 months. The consent data (consent and withdrawal of consent) is stored for three years. The retention period corresponds to the regular limitation period pursuant to Section 195 of the German Civil Code (BGB). The data is then deleted immediately.

The functionality of the website cannot be guaranteed without the processing described. The user has no right to object as long as there is a legal obligation to obtain the user’s consent to certain data processing operations (Art. 7 (1), 6 (1) (c) GDPR).

Complianz is the recipient of your personal data and acts as a processor for us. Data processing takes place exclusively in the European Union.

Detailed information on the use of Complianz can be found at: https://complianz.io/legal/.

When you contact us (e.g. via contact form or email), personal data is collected. The data collected when using a contact form can be seen on the respective contact form. This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of responding to your request or for establishing contact and the associated technical administration. The legal basis for the processing of the data is our legitimate interest in responding to your request in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR. If your contact is aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. b) GDPR. Your data will be deleted after your request has been processed, which is the case when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified and there are no legal retention obligations that prevent deletion.

We collect and process applicants’ personal data for the purpose of handling the application process. Processing may also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits the relevant application documents to us electronically, for example by email or via a web form on the website. If we conclude an employment or service contract with an applicant, the data transmitted will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If we do not conclude a contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted six months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests on our part prevent deletion. Another legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, the burden of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

The legal basis for the processing of your data is Art. 6 (1) lit. b), 88 GDPR in conjunction with § 26 (1) BDSG.

We have our own pages on social networks so that we can communicate with you there and inform you about our services. When you visit one of our social media pages, we are jointly responsible with the provider of the respective social media platform for the processing operations triggered by this, within the meaning of Art. 26 GDPR.

We are not the original provider of these pages, but merely use them within the scope of the options offered to us by the respective providers.

As a precaution, we would therefore like to point out that your data may also be processed outside the European Union or the European Economic Area. Use may therefore involve data protection risks for you, as it may be more difficult to protect your rights, e.g., to information, deletion, objection, etc., and processing on social networks is often carried out directly for advertising purposes or to analyze user behavior by the providers, without us being able to influence this. If usage profiles are created by the provider, cookies are often used or your usage behavior is assigned to your own member profile on social networks.

The processing of personal data described above is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest and the legitimate interest of the respective provider in communicating with you in a modern way and informing you about our services. If you have to give your consent to data processing as a user to the respective providers, the legal basis refers to Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR in conjunction with Art. 7 GDPR.

As we do not have access to the providers’ databases, we would like to point out that it is best to exercise your rights (e.g., to information, correction, deletion, etc.) directly with the respective provider. Further information on the processing of your data in social networks is listed below for each social network provider we use:

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from us, to whom the personal data has been provided, provided that the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR and the processing is carried out using automated means, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in us.

Furthermore, when exercising your right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20 (1) GDPR, you have the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another controller, insofar as this is technically feasible and provided that this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you which is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(e) (data processing in the public interest) or (f) (data processing based on a balancing of interests) of the GDPR.

This also applies to profiling based on these provisions within the meaning of Art. 4 No. 4 GDPR.

If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or unless the processing serves to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims.

In individual cases, we process personal data for direct marketing purposes. You can object to the processing of personal data for such marketing purposes at any time. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If you object to us processing your data for direct marketing purposes, we will no longer process your personal data for these purposes.

In addition, you have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you that we carry out for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes in accordance with Art. 89 (1) GDPR, unless such processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest.

You are free to exercise your right to object in relation to the use of information society services, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, by means of automated procedures using technical specifications.

You have the right to withdraw your consent to the processing of personal data at any time with future effect.

You have the right to complain to a supervisory authority responsible for data protection about our processing of personal data.

We process and store your personal data only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or as required by the legal provisions to which our company is subject.

If the purpose of storage no longer applies or a prescribed storage period expires, the personal data is routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.

The criterion for the duration of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiry of this period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, provided that it is no longer required for the fulfillment of a contract or for the initiation of a contract.

This privacy policy is currently valid and was last updated in August 2025.

Due to the further development of our website and services, or due to changes in legal or regulatory requirements, it may become necessary to amend this privacy policy. You can access and print out the current privacy policy at any time on our website at “https://valontec.at/en/data-protection”.
