In case of purely informational use of our website, which means when you do not register, log in or otherwise transmit any additional information to us, we initially collect and process only the personal data that your browser and your internet provider transmit to our server. This involves data that is needed for technical reasons in order to display the website and to ensure the security and stability of our site.

Specifically, this is the shortened and thus anonymous IP address (the reduction excludes person-specific identifiers and thus, a personal relationship), the website, the site you last visited (referrer), the websites belonging to viridad.eu that you visited, the names of the retrieved files, the date and time of the retrieval, the operating system and version of browser installed on your PC. We also store the aforementioned data in log files. This occurs in order to ensure that the website functions properly. In addition, we use the data to improve our online presence and to ensure its security. However, none of the afore mentioned data is stored together with other personal information. Log files are stored for a maximum of 7 days.

For the website to operate properly and to fulfil our own obligations, we forward your data to our service providers and in turn receive data from them. This is also applicable if you contact us in the ways specified by us or use other offers on our website.We also save your personal data in the so called local storage. meaning we use the saving capacity of your browser. Local storage is an industry-standard technology that allows a website or app to store and retrieve data on a person’s computer, mobile phone or other device. This helps to facilitate the user experience of viridad.eu. Third parties or other websites cannot access this data. A combination of other types of data and local storage data is not happening.

Furthermore, some tracking tools save information and entries in the local storage. The according data protection notes can be found in the section on tracking tools. These data help to analyse and interpret the browsing behaviour of the visitors of viridad.eu and will not be used for commercial purposes.

Where purely informational use is involved (see Item A.), we retain the designated personal data for as long as necessary to provide services or for use. It is deleted once the respectively designated purpose has been achieved.Data stored in log files is deleted within a maximum of 7 days. In addition, personal data stored in log files is also anonymised.If there are statutory or contractual retention periods (e.g. where a user or contractual relationship is involved), we are obligated to retain the data until expiration of this period. We delete the relevant data following expiry or discontinuation of relevant obligations arising from statutory retention periods stipulated by commercial law (see §§ 212 Commercial Code (UGB)).
We retain your data for marketing purposes until you object to its use, withdraw your consent or such use is no longer legally permitted.

We retain your other data only as long as we need it to fulfil the specific purpose for which it was collected (e.g. fulfilment or conclusion of contract) and delete it once it ceases to be needed for that purpose.

In addition to the data transfers to third countries as already described above, data is also transferred to countries outside the European Union and the European Economic Area (“third countries”) in the context of the administration, development and operation of IT systems. When doing so, the following must be observed:Transfer is in principle permissible because the requirements allowing for such transfer under law have been satisfied or you have given your consent to the transfer of the data and special conditions exist for transfer to a third country. Specifically, the data importer guarantees an adequate level of data protection in accordance with standard EU clauses for the transfer of personal data to data processors in third countries. You can find a copy of the standard contract clauses stipulated by the EU Commission online at: http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/DE/TXT/?uri=celex%3A32010D0087
‍In some cases the required data security is secured by the certification of the contract party via the EU-US Privacy Shield, which you can see via: https://www.privacyshield.gov/.
Alternatively, you can get these from us (see contact details).

In addition to the data previously specified, when you visit our website, so-called “cookies” are saved to your computer. Cookies are small text files that are saved to a browser on your computer and are used by the entity that placed them there (i.e. us) to obtain certain information. Cookies cannot run programs or place viruses on your computer. They serve generally to make the website more effective and user friendly.

When you visit our website for the first time or if no cookie is detected on your device, you will be notified of our use of cookies. In addition, we obtain your consent for storing certain cookies. You will find further explanations under C. When issuing the initial Cookie Notice and obtaining your consent, we refer to this Privacy Policy.

We use both transient and persistent cookies; the scope and functionality of each is described below:
‍
Transient Cookies
Transient cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser. This includes in particular session cookies. These store a so-called session ID, through which different requests of your browser can be assigned to the common session and make your surfing experience on our website a more pleasant one for you. Session cookies can be used to recognise your computer when you return to our website. Session cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser
‍

Use of Social Media Plug-ins

(a) We currently make use of the following social media plug-ins: Xing, LinkedIn. We use the so-called two-click approach. That means, when you visit our site, no personal data is initially transmitted to the plug-in provider. You can identify the plug-in provider by the first letter or logo on the label on the box. We provide you the opportunity to communicate directly with the plug-in provider using the button. Only when you activate the marked field by clicking on it will the plug-in provider be informed that you have accessed our online services on the website. Therefore, by activating the plug-in, your personal data is transmitted to the respective plug-in provider and stored there (for US providers: in the US). As the plug-in provider acquires the data primarily via cookies, we recommend you delete all cookies using the security settings on your browser before clicking on the greyed-out box.

(b) We have no influence over either data collection or data processing operations, nor are we familiar with the full scope of data collection, the purposes of collection or retention periods. We also have no information on deletion of the collected data by the plug-in provider.

(c) The plug-in provider stores data collected about you as a user profile and uses it for the purpose of advertising, market research and/or appropriate design of its website. This utilisation occurs in particular (including for users who are not logged in) in presenting appropriate advertising and to inform other social network users of your activities on our website. You are entitled to object to the creation of this user profile; to do so you must contact the respective plug-in provider. Using the plug-in we offer you the opportunity to interact with the social network and other users so that we can improve our site and design it so as to make it more attractive to you. The legal basis for the use of plug-ins is Art. 6(1) p. 1 lit. f GDPR.

(d) Data transfer occurs independently of whether or not you have an account with the plug-in provider and are logged in. When you are logged into the plug-in provider, the data collected from us is assigned directly to your account with the plug-in provider. When you press the activated button and, for example, link to the website, the plug-in provider also stores this information and shares it publicly with your contacts. We recommend that you regularly log out after using a social network, particularly before activating the button in order to avoid this sort of association to your profile with the plug-in provider.

(e) You can find additional information on the purpose and scope of data collection and its processing by the plug-in provider in the following data protection statements by these providers. There you will also find additional information regarding your rights and configuration options for safeguarding your personal privacy.
