Privacy policy – Vascupedia
The controller for the purpose of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter referred to as “GDPR”) and other national data protection laws of the Member States and also other applicable data protection regulations is:
Vascupedia GmbH („Vascupedia“)
Gasselstiege 561
Tel.: +49 (0)251 935 3931
E-Mail: info@vascupedia.com
Website: www.vascupedia.com
Vascupedia collects and uses personal data of users only as far as it is necessary to provide and maintain a functional website and the content and services on the platform. In general, the collection and use of the personal data of the users takes place only after consent of the user has been obtained, or if the processing of the data is already permitted by legal regulations.
Insofar as Vascupedia obtains the consent of the users for the processing of their personal data, Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
In case the processing of personal data is required for the performance of a contract to which the user is a party, Art 6 (1) (b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations in order to take steps at the request of the user prior to entering into a contract.
Insofar as processing personal data is necessary for the fulfilment of a legal obligation, which Vascupedia is subject to, Art 6 (1) (c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
In the event, that the vital interests of the user or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art 6 (1) (d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
If processing is necessary for the protection of a legitimate interest of Vascupedia or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the person concerned do not override the former interest, then Art 6 (1) (f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.
The personal data of the user will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. In addition, data may be stored if it has been provided for by European or national legislators in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which Vascupedia is subject. The data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract.
III. Provisioning of the website and creation of log files
At each of the webpages of Vascupedia platform, the webserver used by Vascupedia automatically collects data and information of the accessing computer.
The following data is collected: 
(5) location, date and time of access
(6) websites from which the user’s system reaches Vascupedia’s website
(7) websites accessed by the user’s system through Vascupedia’s website
This data is used for session handling and will also be saved in the log files on the server. The IP address is transmitted with each server request so that the server knows where to send the response. Every internet user is assigned an IP address by his Internet Service Provider (ISP) as soon as he connects to the Internet. The ISP can trace which IP address was assigned to which of its customers at which time. As long as the IP address is stored, the identity of the subscriber can theoretically be determined by the ISP. Vascupedia saves the complete IP Address only temporarily to log files for debugging purposes and threat protection. The complete IP address is deleted after three days, so that the recorded data is then anonymous and identification of the user is no longer possible.
The processing of this data serves to deliver the contents of the website, to guarantee the functionality of the information technology systems and to optimise the website. The data of the log files are stored separately from other personal data.
The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Art 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
The temporary storage of the IP address by the server is necessary to enable the website to be delivered to the user’s computer. For this the IP address of the user must remain stored for the duration of the session.
The storage in log files is done to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, Vascupedia uses the data to optimise the website and to ensure the security of the IT systems.
Vascupedia’s legitimate interest in data processing pursuant to Art 6 (1) (f) GDPR lies in these purposes.
The data will be deleted as soon it is no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. In the case of the collection of data for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended.
If the data is stored in log files, deletion occurs after seven days at the latest. Further storage is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or alienated, so that assignment of the accessing client is no longer possible.
Vascupedia and third parties listed in this privacy statement use cookies on the website. Cookies are text files that are stored in or by the internet browser on the user’s computer system. If a user visits a website, a cookie may be stored on the user’s operating system.

The Legal basis for processing personal data using technically necessary cookies is Art 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
The legal basis for processing personal data using cookies for analytical purposes, if the user has given his or her consent in this regard, is Art 6 (1) (a) GDPR, otherwise Art 6 (1) (a) GDPR.
The purpose of using technically necessary cookies is to facilitate the use of websites for users. Some functions of the website cannot be offered without the use of cookies. For this it is necessary that the browser is recognised even after a page change.
The use of analysis cookies takes place for the purposes of improving the quality of the website and its content. Through the use of analysis cookies, Vascupedia learns how the website is used and can thus constantly optimise the website.
Further, Vascupedia provides its industry partners (companies that present their products in the Exhibition Area of the website) with statistics regarding visits to the virtual product presentations on the website. These statistics are anonymized and aggregated, and no link to a specific user can be made.
For these purposes, Vascupedia also has a legitimate interest in the processing of personal data pursuant to Art 6 (1) (f) GDPR
Cookies will be stored on the computer of the user and transmitted from this to Vascupedia’s page. However, the user also has full control over the use of cookies. Through a change of the settings in the internet browser users can deactivate or limit the transmission of cookies. Already stored cookies can at any time be deleted.

User registration is required for the provision of certain content and services on the website. In particular, only registered users shall be able to publish content and comment on publications of other users.
This is also the case for data collected during the registration process if the registration on the website is cancelled or modified.
Users have the possibility to cancel their registration at any time. The data stored about users can be changed by the user at any time. Users may proceed to the section “Edit Profile” in order to change or delete their data provided. If a user wishes to delete his account and all data associated with it, an email to info@vascupedia.com will be sufficient. The account will then be deleted in a timely manner.

In this context, there is no disclosure of the data to third parties. The data are used exclusively for processing the conversation.
The legal basis for the processing of the data in the event of the user’s consent is Art 6 (1) (a) GDPR.
The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted in the course of sending an email is Art 6 (1) (f) GDPR. If the email contact is aimed at the conclusion of a contract, then additional legal basis for the processing is Art 6 (1) (b) GDPR.
The processing of the personal data of contact by email serves Vascupedia alone for the treatment of the establishment of contact. In the event of contact by email, this also constitutes the necessary legitimate interest in the processing of the data.
The other personal data processed during the sending process serves to prevent misuse and to ensure the security of the information technology systems.
The data will be deleted as it is no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. For the personal data transmitted via email this is the case once the conversation with the user has ended. The conversation is terminated when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the facts in question have been finally clarified.
The user has at all times the possibility to rescind his consent regarding the processing of his personal data. If the user contacts Vascupedia by email, he can object to the storage of his personal data at any time. In such a case, the conversation cannot be continued.
There is a contact form on the website which can be used to contact Vascupedia electronically. If a user uses this option, the data entered in the form is transferred to Vascupedia and saved. This data includes the name and email address entered, and also the message content.
At the time the message is submitted, a time stamp and the IP address of the submitting IT system is also saved.
User’s consent is obtained for the processing of the data within the scope of the submission process and reference is made to this data protection declaration.
The legal basis for the processing of the data is Art 6 (1) (a) GDPR.
The processing of the personal data from the contact form serves Vascupedia alone for establishing contact with a user.
The other personal data processed during the submission process serves to prevent abuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of the information technology systems.
The data will be deleted as it is no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. For the personal data from the input form this is the case once the conversation with the user has ended. The conversation usually is considered finished when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the facts in question have been finally clarified.
The additional personal data collected during the submission process will be deleted after a period of three days at the latest.
The user has at all times the possibility to rescind his consent regarding the processing of his personal data by contacting Vascupedia by means mentioned at the beginning of this Privacy Policy. In such a case, the conversation cannot be continued. All personal data stored in the course of contacting Vascupedia will be deleted in this case
Vascupedia has integrated the component Google Analytics (with anonymization function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analysis is the collection, gathering and evaluation of data on the behaviour of visitors to internet sites. Among other things, a web analysis service collects data on which website a user came from (so-called referrer), which subpages of the website were accessed or how often and for how long a subpage was viewed. A web analysis is mainly used to optimise a website and for cost-benefit analysis of internet advertising.
Google Analytics places a cookie on the IT system. Cookies have already been explained above. By setting the cookie, Google is enabled to analyse the use of our website. Each time one of the individual pages of this website on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated is accessed by a user, the Internet browser on the user’s information technology system is automatically triggered by the respective Google Analytics component to submit online analysis data to Google. As part of this technical process, Google obtains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the user, which serves Google, among other things, to trace the origin of visitors and. Cookies are used to store personal information, such as access time, the location from which access originated and the frequency of visits to Vascupedia’s website by the user. Whenever a user visits Vascupedia’s website, this personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the user, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may disclose personal data collected through the technical process to third parties.
Vascupedia uses the suffix “_gat._anonymizelp” for the web analysis via Google Analytics. By means of this addition, Google shortens and anonymises the IP address of the user’s internet connection when accessing Vascupedia’s websites from a member state of the European Union or from another state party to the agreement on the European Economic Area.
The Google Analytics component is operated by Google Inc. 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA. Google Inc. is certified under the agreement known as Privacy Shield. The certificate can be viewed at: https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI
The legal basis for the processing of personal data by Google Analytics is Art 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyse the flow of visitors to the website. Google uses the data and information collected to evaluate the use of the website, among other things, to compile online reports for Vascupedia that show the activities on our website and to provide other services in connection with the use of our website. This is also the legitimate interest of Vascupedia in data processing.
The user can prevent the setting of cookies through Vascupedia’s website at any time, as already described above, by means of a corresponding setting of the internet browser used and thus permanently objecting to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from placing a cookie on the User’s information technology system. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programmes.
Furthermore, users have the opportunity to object and prevent the collection of data generated by Google Analytics relating to the user of this website and the processing of this data by Google. To do this, the user must download and install a browser add-on from the link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout .This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information on visits to websites may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered an objection by Google. If the user’s information technology system is deleted, formatted or reinstalled at a later time, the user must reinstall the browser add-on to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the user or another person within their control, it is possible to reinstall or reactivate the browser add-on. Alternatively, users can declare their objection by setting an opt-out cookie. Please visit the following link: Opt-out of Google Analytics.
To disable Google Analytics. If the user deletes this opt-out cookie, it may be necessary to set the cookie again.

X. Cloudinary
Vascupedia uses the services of Cloudinary. Cloudinary provides content delivery services and hosts most media files uploaded to and embedded into Vascupedia’s website.
Whenever a user accesses a website in which media files are embedded, the user’s browser sends a request to Cloudinary’s infrastructure so the embedded media file can be transmitted. By receiving and answering to such request, Cloudinary will inevitably process the user’s IP address and other information about the user’s IT system, e.g. type of browser and operating system used.
Cloudinary is also used for an initial upload of user content. Media files submitted by users to Vascupedia will be uploaded to Cloudinary and processed automatically to meet Vascupedia’s quality expectations. After initial processing, the media files will be served as outlined above. During initial uploading, again information like IP address, type of browser and operating system may be stored by Cloudinary.
Vascupedia assigns each of its registered users with a unique ID. This ID will be transmitted to Cloudinary whenever content is uploaded and used to identify the user and his content on Cloudinary’s infrastructure.
Coudinary is a service run by Cloudinary Ltd., 111 W Evelyn Ave, Suite 206
Sunnyvale, CA 94086, USA. Cloudinary Ltd. is certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework. The certificate is available under https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000011jAAA&status=Active
The legal basis for processing personal data in connection with content delivery is Art 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Data processing in connection with media uploading is done on the basis of Art 6 (1) (a) GDPR.
A user may object to and rescind his consent regarding processing of his uploaded content anytime by informing Vascupedia. Vascupedia will procure that content uploaded by the user will be removed by Cloudinary.
