Use of the website:
Our offer is expressly not orientated towards underage persons.
All data received and processed within this online offer is treated confidentially acc. GDPR and is not transferred to third parties. 

Surfing on our website without stating personal data 

The use of our website without personal data is possible outside the password-protected VEKA AG -Partner area. 
We will then only find out

  • The name of the Internet site or file called up and the time it is called up or downloaded
  • The domain via which you reached our website
  • The transmitted data volume
  • Whether the call-up or download was successful.  

The data is exclusively used for administration, optimisation of the Internet offer and for processing inquiries. 

The IP address can be considered personal data, because, under certain conditions, it is possible to obtain the identity of the owner of the Internet access used by using the information of the respective Internet provider.   

The IP address is only analysed in case of attacks against our Internet infrastructure. In this case, we have an authorised interest in terms of Art. 6 Para. 1 f) GDPR to process the IP address. This authorised interest arises from the need to defend against an attack on the Internet infrastructure, to investigate the source of the attack in order to bring proceedings against the responsible person under criminal and civil law, and to effectively prevent further attacks.

The IP address is deleted if we can exclude the possibility that it has been used in an attack against our Internet infrastructure did not occur. This deletion occurs regularly after seven days.  

Furthermore, we record from which domains our web visitors come. We also analyse this data in order to recognise trends and statistics, but we subsequently delete this data again. 

This site uses "Cookies" and in some areas "Active X Controls". 

In addition, this website contains links to other websites. The legal owner of this site shall not be held responsible for the data protection provisions or the content of these websites. If you have questions or comments regarding our data protection practice, then please contact us under  datenschutz@veka.com .

You can prevent storage of the Cookies through the appropriate settings in your browser software; however, this may lead to the fact that you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent. 

Surfing on our website with the statement of personal data  

If you voluntarily provide us with personal data (e.g. name, address or email address) on our website or within the scope of registration for the VEKA AG -Partner area, then this data shall not be transferred to third parties without your express permission or legal authorisation. If you register for the VEKA AG -Partner area, then a contract comes into effect between us regarding the storage and provision of the respective profile.

In this case, we process your data based on Article 6 b) of the GDPR or the fulfilment of a contract existing between us, or acc. Article 6 a) GDPR based on the consent provided by you. The processing occurs for the fulfilment of contractual performance, payment processing, for the delivery of contractually ordered products and services, for transmission of your address data to logistics companies for the delivery of goods, and for sending interesting information regarding products and actions. Your data is transferred within our premises to order processing or persons involved in decision-making. A transfer to third parties over and above this which is not covered by legislative necessity shall only occur subject to your express consent. Automatic decision-making does not occur. 

We only process your data if this is required for the fulfilment of our contract or the applicable legal regulations or due to the reason for your data transfer. We do not independently delete the personal data stored by you in the VEKA AG -Partner area. However, you have the possibility to change individual data in your profile at any time. We shall undertake complete deletion of the personal data stored within the scope of your profile on request via email (stating your user name) to  datenschutz@veka.com , if the continued storage of this data is not permitted due to further statutory exemptions. Business documents are stored according to the statutory retention periods and are subsequently deleted compliant with data protection.

Use of external service providers

We work together with service providers who process certain data on our behalf. This occurs exclusively in harmony with the respective valid data protection laws. In particular, we have concluded an agreement with our service providers regarding data processing under contract which satisfies the requirements of Article 28 of the GDPR. No data is transmitted to unsafe third countries or supranational or intergovernmental agencies. 

Your rights:

According to the GDPR, you have the following rights:

+ Right to information regarding the processing of your data 

You have the right to demand information regarding whether personal data pertaining to you is processed by VEKA AG , and, if yes, which personal data pertaining to you is processed by VEKA AG . You have the right to the following information:

  • The processing purposes
  • The categories of your personal data being processed
  • The recipients or categories of recipients to whom your personal data has been disclosed or is still disclosed
  • If possible, the planned duration for which your personal data will be stored, or if this is not possible, the criteria for the determination of this duration
  • If your personal data has not been collected from you yourself, all available information regarding the origin of the data
  • The existence of automated decision-making including profiling according to Article 22 of the GDPR and — at least in these cases — pertinent information regarding the logic involved and the scope and aspired effects of such processing for you.

We will provide you with a copy of the personal data which is the subject of the processing. If we have substantiated doubts, then we will request additional information for confirmation of the identity of the person affected.

+ Right of correction 

You have the right to request from us the correction of incorrect personal data pertaining to you. Under consideration of the purposes of the processing, you have the right to request the completion of incomplete personal data — also by way of a supplementary declaration.

+ Right of deletion

Deletion of your personal data occurs if you assert a claim for deletion and no statutory retention rights or obligations contradict this. Furthermore, we always delete your personal data if the data is no longer required for the fulfilment of the purpose associated with the storage or if the storage is not permissible for other legal reasons, and if the deletion does not contradict the statutory retention periods. 

+ Right of limitation of processing 

You are entitled to request a limitation of the processing of your personal data if the personal data is not accurate, and this for the duration which enables VEKA AG to check the accuracy of the personal data. If the processing is unlawful and you refuse the deletion of the personal data, and instead request the limitation of the use of your personal data from us, then we shall comply with your request. The deletion of data also does not occur if we require it for the assertion, exercising or defence of our own legal claims, or if you have objected to the processing acc. Article 21 Paragraph 1 GDPR, provided it is not yet established whether the entitled reasons given by VEKA AG outweigh your reasons. 

+ Right to appeal against processing

You have the right to appeal at any time against the processing of your personal data which occurs due to Art. 6 of the GDPR. VEKA AG shall not process your personal data any more in case of an appeal, unless we can verify compelling legitimate reasons for the processing which outweigh the interests, rights and freedoms of the affected persons, or the processing serves the assertion, exercising or defence of legal claims.

+ Right of data portability

You have the right to receive the personal data pertaining to you which you have provided to us in a structured, conventional and machine-readable format, and to transmit this data to another responsible person without obstruction by us. The prerequisite is that the processing is based on consent acc. Art. 6 or Art. 9 of the GDPR or on a contract, and that the processing occurs with the assistance of an automated procedure. Furthermore, you have the right to personal data being directly transmitted by VEKA AG to another responsible agency, provided this is technically feasible.

+ Right of revocation of your stated consent with effect for the future

A revocation of your stated consent may occur at any time with effect for the future. No fees are incurred in case of a revocation, an objection or information. Please direct the revocation via email to  info@veka.com

+ Right of complaint to the data protection supervisory authority

Should you be of the opinion that the processing of your personal data infringes on data protection provisions, then you have the right, acc. Article 77 GDPR, to file a complaint with the supervisory authority responsible for your federal state at any time.

Data protection declaration for the web analytics service Google Analytics 

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called “Cookies”, text files which are stored on your computer and which enable an analysis of the use of the website. The information generated by the cookie regarding your usage of this website is normally transferred to a server of Google in the USA and stored there. We have activated the IP anonymisation. On this website, your IP address is therefore previously abbreviated by Google within the member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Treaty of the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is your full IP address transmitted to a server of Google in the USA and abbreviated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google uses this information to analyse your use of the website, to compile reports regarding the website activities and to render further services to the website operator associated with the website use and Internet use. The IP address transmitted by Google Analytics from your browser is not merged with other data from Google. You can prevent the storage of Cookies through the appropriate setting of your browser software; however, we hereby point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent. Furthermore, you can prevent the collection of the data generated by the Cookie and regarding your use of the website (incl. your IP address) by Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the available browser plugin under the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de

More detailed information regarding the terms and conditions of use and data protection can be found under http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html   or under https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/ . We hereby point out that on this website Google Analytics has been extended by the code “anonymizeIp” to guarantee the anonymous collection of IP addresses (so-called IP masking). 

Google Tag Manager

This website uses the Google Tag Manager, a function of Google INC.1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. The Google Tag Manager allows companies to manage website tags via an interface. The Google Tag Manager is a cookie-less domain that does not collect any personal data. The Google Tag Manager triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. The Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If a deactivation has been made by the user at domain or cookie level, this remains in place for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. Google uses pseudonyms for this purpose. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is anonymised and not merged with other Google data. You can find more information about the Google Tag Manager at: https://www.google.com/intl/tagmanager/

Google Maps

This website uses Google Maps (API) provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"). Google Maps is a web service for displaying interactive maps in order to visually present geographical information. When you call up pages in which the Google Maps map is integrated, information about your use of our website (such as your IP address) is transmitted to Google servers and stored there; this may also involve transmission to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA. This occurs regardless of whether Google provides a user account via which you are logged in or whether a user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly assigned to your account. If you do not want your data to be associated with your Google profile, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and evaluates them.

If you do not agree to the future transmission of your data to Google in the context of the use of Google Maps, you have the option of completely deactivating the Google Maps web service by switching off the JavaScript application in your browser. Google Maps can then not be used on this website.

You can view Google's terms of use at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/terms/regional.html . The additional terms of use for Google Maps can be found at https://www.google.com/intl/de_US/help/terms_maps.html .
