Privacy Policy
We are very delighted that you have shown
interest in our enterprise. Data protection is of a
particularly high priority for the management of the
iVISION GmbH. The use of the Internet pages of the
iVISION GmbH is possible without any indication of
personal data; however, if a data subject wants to
use special enterprise services via our website,
processing of personal data could become necessary.
If the processing of personal data is necessary and
there is no statutory basis for such processing, we
generally obtain consent from the data subject.
The processing of personal data, such as the name,
address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a
data subject shall always be in line with the
General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in
accordance with the country-specific data protection
regulations applicable to the iVISION GmbH. By means
of this data protection declaration, our enterprise
would like to inform the general public of the
nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we
collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects
are informed, by means of this data protection
declaration, of the rights to which they are
entitled.
As the controller, the iVISION GmbH has implemented
numerous technical and organizational measures to
ensure the most complete protection of personal data
processed through this website. However,
Internet-based data transmissions may in principle
have security gaps, so absolute protection may not
be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject
is free to transfer personal data to us via
alternative means, e.g. by telephone.
1. Definitions
The data protection declaration of the iVISION GmbH
is based on the terms used by the European
legislator for the adoption of the General Data
Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our data protection
declaration should be legible and understandable for
the general public, as well as our customers and
business partners. To ensure this, we would like to
first explain the terminology used.
In this data protection declaration, we use, inter
alia, the following terms:
a) Personal
data
Personal data means any
information relating to an identified or
identifiable natural person (“data subject”). An
identifiable natural person is one who can be
identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by
reference to an identifier such as a name, an
identification number, location data, an online
identifier or to one or more factors specific to the
physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic,
cultural or social identity of that natural person.
b) Data subject
Data subject is any identified or
identifiable natural person, whose personal data is
processed by the controller responsible for the
processing.
c) Processing
Processing is any operation or
set of operations which is performed on personal
data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by
automated means, such as collection, recording,
organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or
alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure
by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making
available, alignment or combination, restriction,
erasure or destruction.
d) Restriction
of processing
Restriction of processing is the
marking of stored personal data with the aim of
limiting their processing in the future.
e) Profiling
Profiling means any form of
automated processing of personal data consisting of
the use of personal data to evaluate certain
personal aspects relating to a natural person, in
particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning
that natural person's performance at work, economic
situation, health, personal preferences, interests,
reliability, behaviour, location or movements.
f)
Pseudonymisation
Pseudonymisation is the
processing of personal data in such a manner that
the personal data can no longer be attributed to a
specific data subject without the use of additional
information, provided that such additional
information is kept separately and is subject to
technical and organisational measures to ensure that
the personal data are not attributed to an
identified or identifiable natural person.
g) Controller
or controller responsible for the processing
Controller or controller
responsible for the processing is the natural or
legal person, public authority, agency or other body
which, alone or jointly with others, determines the
purposes and means of the processing of personal
data; where the purposes and means of such
processing are determined by Union or Member State
law, the controller or the specific criteria for its
nomination may be provided for by Union or Member
State law.
h) Processor
Processor is a natural or legal
person, public authority, agency or other body which
processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
i)
Recipient
Recipient is a natural or legal
person, public authority, agency or another body, to
which the personal data are disclosed, whether a
third party or not. However, public authorities
which may receive personal data in the framework of
a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or
Member State law shall not be regarded as
recipients; the processing of those data by those
public authorities shall be in compliance with the
applicable data protection rules according to the
purposes of the processing.
j)
Third party
Third party is a natural or legal
person, public authority, agency or body other than
the data subject, controller, processor and persons
who, under the direct authority of the controller or
processor, are authorised to process personal data.
k) Consent
Consent of the data subject is
any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous
indication of the data subject's wishes by which he
or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative
action, signifies agreement to the processing of
personal data relating to him or her.
2. Name and Address of the controller
Controller for the purposes of the General Data
Protection Regulation (GDPR), other data protection
laws applicable in Member states of the European
Union and other provisions related to data
protection is:
Dipl.-Ing. Thomas Vieten
iVISION GmbH

Website: www.ivision.de
3. Collection of general data and information
The website of the iVISION GmbH collects a series of
general data and information when a data subject or
automated system calls up the website. This general
data and information are stored in the server log
files. Collected may be (1) the 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
referrers), (4) the sub-websites, (5) the date and
time of access to the Internet site, (6) an Internet
protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet
service provider of the accessing system, and (8)
any other similar data and information that may be
used in the event of attacks on our information
technology systems.
When using these general data and information, the
iVISION GmbH does not draw any conclusions about the
data subject. Rather, this information is needed to
(1) deliver the content of our website correctly,
(2) optimize the content of our website as well as
its advertisement, (3) ensure the long-term
viability of our information technology systems and
website technology, and (4) provide law enforcement
authorities with the information necessary for
criminal prosecution in case of a cyber-attack.
Therefore, the iVISION GmbH analyzes anonymously
collected data and information statistically, with
the aim of increasing the data protection and data
security of our enterprise, and to ensure an optimal
level of protection for the personal data we
process. The anonymous data of the server log files
are stored separately from all personal data
provided by a data subject.
4. 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 in
accordance with legal requirements.
5. Rights of the data subject
a) Right of confirmation
Each data subject shall have the
right granted by the European legislator to obtain
from the controller the confirmation as to whether
or not personal data concerning him or her are being
processed. If a data subject wishes to avail himself
of this right of confirmation, he or she may, at any
time, contact any employee of the controller.
b) Right of access
Each data subject shall have the
right granted by the European legislator to obtain
from the controller free information about his or
her personal data stored at any time and a copy of
this information. Furthermore, the European
directives and regulations grant the data subject
access to the following information:
the
purposes of the processing;
the
categories of personal data concerned;
the
recipients or categories of recipients to whom the
personal data have been or will be disclosed, in
particular recipients in third countries or
international organisations;
where
possible, the envisaged period for which the
personal data will be stored, or, if not possible,
the criteria used to determine that period;
the
existence of the right to request from the
controller rectification or erasure of personal
data, or restriction of processing of personal data
concerning the data subject, or to object to such
processing;
the
existence of the right to lodge a complaint with a
supervisory authority;
where the
personal data are not collected from the data
subject, any available information as to their
source;
the
existence of automated decision-making, including
profiling, referred to in Article 22(1) and (4) of
the GDPR and, at least in those cases, meaningful
information about the logic involved, as well as the
significance and envisaged consequences of such
processing for the data subject.
Furthermore, the data subject
shall have a right to obtain information as to
whether personal data are transferred to a third
country or to an international organisation. Where
this is the case, the data subject shall have the
right to be informed of the appropriate safeguards
relating to the transfer.
If a data subject wishes to avail
himself of this right of access, he or she may, at
any time, contact any employee of the controller.
c) Right to rectification
Each data subject shall have the
right granted by the European legislator to obtain
from the controller without undue delay the
rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning
him or her. Taking into account the purposes of the
processing, the data subject shall have the right to
have incomplete personal data completed, including
by means of providing a supplementary statement.
If a data subject wishes to
exercise this right to rectification, he or she may,
at any time, contact any employee of the controller.
d) Right to erasure (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, and the
controller shall have the obligation to erase
personal data without undue delay where one of the
following grounds applies, as long as the processing
is not necessary:
The
personal data are no longer necessary in relation to
the purposes for which they were collected or
otherwise processed.
The data
subject withdraws consent to which the processing is
based according to point (a) of Article 6(1) of the
GDPR, or point (a) of Article 9(2) of the GDPR, and
where there is no other legal ground for the
processing.
The data
subject objects to the processing pursuant to
Article 21(1) of the GDPR and there are no
overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or
the data subject objects to the processing pursuant
to Article 21(2) of the GDPR.
The
personal data have been unlawfully processed.
The
personal data must be erased for compliance with a
legal obligation in Union or Member State law to
which the controller is subject.
The
personal data have been collected in relation to the
offer of information society services referred to in
Article 8(1) of the GDPR.
If one of the aforementioned
reasons applies, and a data subject wishes to
request the erasure of personal data stored by the
iVISION GmbH, he or she may, at any time, contact
any employee of the controller. An employee of
iVISION GmbH shall promptly ensure that the erasure
request is complied with immediately.
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 employees of the
iVISION GmbH will arrange the necessary measures in
individual cases.
e) Right of restriction of
processing
Each data subject shall have the
right granted by the European legislator to obtain
from the controller restriction of processing where
one of the following applies:
The
accuracy of the personal data is contested by the
data subject, for a period enabling the controller
to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
The
processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes
the erasure of the personal data and requests
instead the restriction of their use instead.
The
controller no longer needs the personal data for the
purposes of the processing, but they are required by
the data subject for the establishment, exercise or
defence of legal claims.
The data
subject has objected to processing pursuant to
Article 21(1) of the GDPR pending the verification
whether the legitimate grounds of the controller
override those of the data subject.
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 the iVISION GmbH, he or she
may at any time contact any employee of the
controller. The employee of the iVISION GmbH will
arrange the restriction of the processing.
f) 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 those data to another
controller without hindrance from the controller to
which the personal data have 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 pursuant to 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.
In order to assert the right to
data portability, the data subject may at any time
contact any employee of the iVISION GmbH.
g) 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.
The iVISION 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
defence of legal claims.
If the iVISION GmbH processes
personal data for direct marketing purposes, the
data subject shall have the right to object at any
time to 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 the
iVISION GmbH to the processing for direct marketing
purposes, the iVISION 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 the iVISION
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.
In order to exercise the right to
object, the data subject may contact any employee of
the iVISION GmbH. In addition, 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.
h) Automated individual
decision-making, including 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 (1) is not is necessary for entering into,
or the performance of, a contract between the data
subject and a data controller, or (2) is not
authorised 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, or (3)
is not based on the data subject's explicit consent.
If the decision (1) is necessary
for entering into, or the performance of, a contract
between the data subject and a data controller, or
(2) it is based on the data subject's explicit
consent, the iVISION 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, contact
any employee of the iVISION GmbH.
i) Right to withdraw data
protection consent
Each data subject shall have the
right granted by the European legislator to withdraw
his or her consent to processing of his or her
personal data at any time.
If the data subject wishes to
exercise the right to withdraw the consent, he or
she may, at any time, contact any employee of the
iVISION GmbH.
6. 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, as is
the case, for example, when processing operations
are necessary for the supply of goods or to provide
any other service, 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. Is our company 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 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 which require protection of
personal data. Such processing operations are
particularly permissible because they have been
specifically mentioned by the European legislator.
He considered that a legitimate interest could be
assumed if the data subject is a client of the
controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).
7. 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.
8. Period for which the personal data will be stored
The criteria used to determine the period of storage
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
the contract or the initiation of a contract.
9. Provision of personal data as statutory or
contractual requirement; Requirement necessary to
enter into a contract; Obligation of the data
subject to provide the personal data; possible
consequences of failure to provide such data
We clarify that the provision of personal data is
partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or can
also result from contractual provisions (e.g.
information on the contractual partner). Sometimes
it may be necessary to conclude a contract that the
data subject provides us with personal data, which
must subsequently be processed by us. 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 must contact any employee. The employee
clarifies to the data subject 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 the consequences of non-provision
of the personal data.
10. Existence of automated decision-making
As a responsible company, we do not use automatic
decision-making or profiling.
