Cookies

The Internet pages partly use so-called cookies. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies serve to make our offer more user-friendly, more effective and safer. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.
Most of the cookies we use are so-called "session cookies". They are automatically deleted after the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your terminal device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognize your browser on your next visit.
You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be limited.
Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions you have requested (e.g. shopping cart function) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. Insofar as other cookies (e.g. cookies for analyzing your surfing behavior) are stored, these are treated separately in this data protection declaration.

Internally, this data is only passed on if this is necessary for the fulfillment of our operational tasks. Data will not be passed on to third parties without prior consent.
The processing of the data transmitted by you to us through your e-mail is therefore based exclusively on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1, lit. a DSGVO). You can revoke this consent at any time.

4. Data collection through inquiry

Contact request

If you contact us using our general public contact information, e.g. via a telephone directory, the contact information you provide will be stored by us for the purpose of processing your inquiry.
In the case of a general inquiry that is not aimed at the purchase of our products, this is done exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1, lit. a DSGVO).
For all inquiries aimed at the purchase, delivery, return or other interest in our products, a customer account will be created for you with us. The creation of this customer account takes place with the first request on your part. Personal data that will be stored in your customer account are: Name, e-mail address and telephone number, address, as well as names and contact details of possible further contact persons. When you first contact us via our e-mail address info@vgt-dyko.com, each of our office staff has access to your data.
In order to fulfill our operational tasks, this data will be passed on to a sales representative who will be responsible for you from then on. An additional transfer of your data within our company will only take place if this is absolutely necessary to fulfill your inquiry or an order.
The basis for this processing of your data is exclusively the legitimate interest on our part to ensure you a smooth order processing for the runningeden and all future orders (Art. 6 para. 1, lit. f DSGVO).
Your customer account is created with us for an unlimited period of time. You have the possibility at any time to receive information about all personal data stored in your customer account and also the right to correct or delete this data.
