Surfing our website without providing personal data
Outside the password-protected partner area of VEKA AG, it is possible to use our website without providing personal data. We will then only know your IP address, the name of the website or file accessed and the time of access or retrieval, the domains via which you accessed our website, the volume of data transferred and whether the access or retrieval was successful. The data is used exclusively for the administration and optimisation of the website and to process your enquiries. The IP address can be a personal data, because under certain conditions it is possible to find out the identity of the owner of the used internet access by information of the respective internet provider. We only evaluate the IP address in the event of attacks on our Internet infrastructure. In this case, we have a legitimate interest iSv. Art. 6 para. 1 f) GDPR in the processing of the IP address. This legitimate interest results from the need to ward off the attack on the internet infrastructure, to determine the origin of the attack in order to be able to take criminal and civil action against the person responsible, as well as to effectively prevent further attacks. The IP address is deleted when we can exclude that no attack on our internet infrastructure has occurred from it. This happens regularly after seven days. Furthermore, we record the domains from which our web visitors come. We also analyse this data to identify trends and compile statistics, but we delete the data afterwards. This site also uses "cookies" and in some areas "Active X Controls" are used. In addition, this site contains links to other websites. The owner of this site is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such websites.

Surfing on our website with the provision of personal data
Insofar as you provide us with personal data (e.g. name, address or e-mail address) on our website voluntarily or in the context of registering for the VEKA AG partner area, this data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent or legal permission. If you register for the partner area of VEKA AG, a contract is concluded between us for the storage and provision of the respective profile. In this case, we process your data on the basis of Article 6 b) of the EU-GDPR for the fulfilment of a contract existing between us or according to Article 6 a) EU-GDPR on the basis of the consent given by you. The processing is carried out for the fulfilment of contractual services, the processing of payments, the delivery of contractually ordered products and services, the transmission of your address data to logistics companies for the delivery of goods, as well as for sending interesting information about products and promotions. Your data will be passed on within our company to the persons involved in the processing of the contract or the decision-making process. Any further disclosure to third parties that is not covered by legal requirements will only take place with your express consent. There is no automated decision-making. We process your data only as long as it is necessary for the fulfilment of our contract or applicable legal provisions or due to the reason for your data transfer. As a matter of principle, we do not independently delete the personal data you have deposited in the VEKA AG partner area. However, you have the option of changing individual data in your profile at any time. A complete deletion of the personal data stored within the scope of your profile is carried out upon request by e-mail (stating your user name) to datenschutzveka.com , insofar as the further storage of this data is not permitted on the basis of another permissible circumstance.

+ Right to rectification
You have the right to request that we correct any inaccurate personal data relating to you without undue delay. Taking into account the purposes of the processing, you have the right to request the completion of incomplete personal data, including by means of a supplementary declaration.
+ Right to erasure
Your personal data will be deleted if you assert a right to deletion in writing and this does not conflict with statutory retention rights or obligations.

+ Right to restriction of processing
