Data Protection and Pri­va­cy Pol­i­cy of Vision in X industrial imaging GmbH

Vision in X industrial imaging GmbH (Vision in X) takes the protection of personal data very seriously. We want you to know when and what data we collect and how we use it. We have taken technical and organisational measures to ensure that we respect the rules on data protection.

Data protection questions

Data Protection Representative of Vision in X ensures full compliance with our data protection policy. If you have any questions about data protection, please contact us. Vision in X reserves the right to change this data protection statement.

Personal data

Personal data is data that can be used to establish your identity. This includes information such as your name, address, postal address, telephone number. Data that is not associated with your identity (such as the number of users of the site) is not covered. You can use our online offers without disclosing your identity.

When you order information material, newsletters or brochures we ask for your name and other personal data. It is your decision whether you enter this data. By entering your data, you give your consent to its purpose-related use. We save your data on specially protected servers in Germany. Access is restricted to only a few specifically authorised persons who are involved in the servers’ technical, commercial or editorial support.

We retain your data only as long as necessary for the purpose-related use. For example, your data will be deleted when you unsubscribe from a newsletter-list or after we send you any requested information material.<br>
Every time you visit our website, data is saved for statistical and security purposes. The collected data is used solely to improve our internet service and cannot be traced back to you.

In the event of serious breaches against our terms of use and unauthorised access or attempted access to our servers, we reserve the right to use personal data to find/identify those who committed the breach based on their use of certain data records.

Disclosure of personal data to third parties

We use your personal data in the case of information requests only within Vision in X and those companies commissioned to dispatch the material. We do not pass on your data to third parties without your explicit consent.
If a court order or law requires us to, we will transfer your data to authorised bodies.

Data protection statement for social media

Vision in X takes the current debate on data protection in social networks very seriously. It is currently not legally and conclusively clarified whether and to what extent all networks offer their services in line with European data protection laws.

The videos included in our online offer can be found at https://www.youtube.com. Please note that YouTube uses a data-upload plug-in, so to prevent your data from being uploaded to the YouTube server as soon as you access the Vision in X page, you will be asked for your consent to allow it to be forwarded to YouTube. This conforms to the YouTube/Google data protection regulations. The upload plug-in is only activated after clicking on ‘agree once’ or ‘agree always’. The connection is then established to the servers (known as a 2-click solution). If you use the ‘agree always’ function, your decision will be saved as a cookie in your browser.

We expressly highlight that Facebook, Google, Twitter and YouTube save user data (for example, personal information, IP address, etc.) in accordance with their own data use policy and use it for business purposes. You can obtain information about the social networks’ data management policies at the following links: Facebook, Google, Twitter and YouTube.

Vision in X does not have any influence over the collection of data and its use by the social networks. We do not know to what extent, where and for how long the data is saved, how the networks’ existing deletion obligations are fulfilled or even what kind of assessments and links have been made based on the data and to whom the data has been disclosed.
