Privacy Policy – VanillaFlow

Personal
data (usually referred to just as „data“ below) will only be processed
by us to the extent necessary and for the purpose of providing a
functional and user-friendly website, including its contents, and the
services offered there.

Per Art. 4 No. 1 of Regulation (EU)
2016/679, i.e. the General Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter
referred to as the „GDPR“), „processing“ refers to any operation or set
of operations such as collection, recording, organization, structuring,
storage, adaptation, alteration, retrieval, consultation, use,
disclosure by transmission, dissemination, or otherwise making
available, alignment, or combination, restriction, erasure, or
destruction performed on personal data, whether by automated means or
not.

The following privacy policy is intended to inform you in
particular about the type, scope, purpose, duration, and legal basis for
the processing of such data either under our own control or in
conjunction with others. We also inform you below about the third-party
components we use to optimize our website and improve the user
experience which may result in said third parties also processing data
they collect and control.

Our privacy policy is structured as follows:

I. Information about us as controllers of your data
II. The rights of users and data subjects
III. Information about the data processing

I. Information about us as controllers of your data

The party responsible for this website (the „controller“) for purposes of data protection law is:

E-Mail: office@ecolyte.at

II. The rights of users and data subjects

With regard to the data processing to be described in more detail below, users and data subjects have the right

to
confirmation of whether data concerning them is being processed,
information about the data being processed, further information about
the nature of the data processing, and copies of the data (cf. also Art.
15 GDPR);
to correct or complete incorrect or incomplete data (cf. also Art. 16 GDPR);
to
the immediate deletion of data concerning them (cf. also Art. 17
DSGVO), or, alternatively, if further processing is necessary as
stipulated in Art. 17 Para. 3 GDPR, to restrict said processing per Art.
18 GDPR;
to receive copies of the data concerning them and/or
provided by them and to have the same transmitted to other
providers/controllers (cf. also Art. 20 GDPR);
to file
complaints with the supervisory authority if they believe that data
concerning them is being processed by the controller in breach of data
protection provisions (see also Art. 77 GDPR).

In
addition, the controller is obliged to inform all recipients to whom it
discloses data of any such corrections, deletions, or restrictions
placed on processing the same per Art. 16, 17 Para. 1, 18 GDPR. However,
this obligation does not apply if such notification is impossible or
involves a disproportionate effort. Nevertheless, users have a right to
information about these recipients.

Likewise, under Art.
21 GDPR, users and data subjects have the right to object to the
controller’s future processing of their data pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1
lit. f) GDPR. In particular, an objection to data processing for the
purpose of direct advertising is permissible.

III. Information about the data processing

Your
data processed when using our website will be deleted or blocked as
soon as the purpose for its storage ceases to apply, provided the
deletion of the same is not in breach of any statutory storage
obligations or unless otherwise stipulated below.

Cookie Manager

To obtain consent for the use of technically unnecessary cookies on the website, the provider uses a cookie manager.

When
the website is called up, a cookie with the settings information is
stored on the end device of the user so that the request for consent
does not have to be made on a subsequent visit.

The cookie is required to obtain legally compliant user consent.

You can prevent cookies from being installed by adjusting the settings on your internet browser.

Cookies

a) Session cookies

We
use cookies on our website. Cookies are small text files or other
storage technologies stored on your computer by your browser. These
cookies process certain specific information about you, such as your
browser, location data, or IP address.

This processing makes our
website more user-friendly, efficient, and secure, allowing us, for
example, to display our website in different languages or to offer a
shopping cart function.

The legal basis for such processing is
Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b) GDPR, insofar as these cookies are used to
collect data to initiate or process contractual relationships.

If
the processing does not serve to initiate or process a contract, our
legitimate interest lies in improving the functionality of our website.
The legal basis is then Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

When you close your browser, these session cookies are deleted.

b) Third-party cookies

If
necessary, our website may also use cookies from companies with whom we
cooperate for the purpose of advertising, analyzing, or improving the
features of our website.

Please refer to the following
information for details, in particular for the legal basis and purpose
of such third-party collection and processing of data collected through
cookies.

c) Disabling cookies

You can refuse the use of
cookies by changing the settings on your browser. Likewise, you can use
the browser to delete cookies that have already been stored. However,
the steps and measures required vary, depending on the browser you use.
If you have any questions, please use the help function or consult the
documentation for your browser or contact its maker for support. Browser
settings cannot prevent so-called flash cookies from being set.
Instead, you will need to change the setting of your Flash player. The
steps and measures required for this also depend on the Flash player you
are using. If you have any questions, please use the help function or
consult the documentation for your Flash player or contact its maker for
support.

If you prevent or restrict the installation of cookies, not all of the functions on our site may be fully usable.

General introduction

General linking to third-party profiles

The provider includes a link on the website to the social media listed below.

The legal basis for this is Article 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The
legitimate interest of the provider is to improve the quality of use of
the website.

The plugins are integrated via a linked graphic. The user is only
forwarded to the service of the respective social media by clicking on
the corresponding graphic.

After the customer has been forwarded, information about the user is
recorded by the respective social media. This is initially data such as
IP address, date, time and page visited. If the user is logged into
his/her user account of the respective social media at the same time,
the social media operator can, if required, assign the information
collected from the user’s specific visit to the user’s personal account.
If the user interacts via a “Share” button of the respective social
media, this information can be stored in the user’s personal user
account and, if required, be published. If the user wants to prevent the
collected information from being directly assigned to his/her user
account, the user must log out before clicking on the graphic. It is
also possible to configure the respective user account accordingly.

The following social media are linked by the provider:
