We are very pleased about your interest in our company. Data protection is of a particularly high priority for the management of Via Tomorrow GmbH. The use of the Via Tomorrow GmbH website is possible without any indication of personal data. However, if you (the data subject) want to use special services provided by us via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. If there is no other legal basis for such processing of personal data, we generally obtain consent from the data subject.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a data subject shall always be in line with the European Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR), and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to Via Tomorrow. This data protection declaration informs data subjects about the processing of their data and about their rights in this context.

As the controller, Via Tomorrow has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can always be subject to security vulnerabilities, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone.

Scope of application

This data protection declaration applies to the Via Tomorrow website at https://viatomorrow.com and to the data collected via this website.

For websites of other providers, which are referred to e.g. via links, the respective data protection information and declarations apply. We are not liable for their content and do not adopt their content as our own.

In this privacy policy, we explain, among other things, how we handle the personal data of data subjects and how we use cookies.

Responsible party in terms of data protection:

Any data subject may contact us directly at any time with any questions or suggestions regarding data protection.

Purposes and legal bases of processing – in general when visiting our website

Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU GDPR serves Via Tomorrow as the legal basis for processing operations in which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations that are necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, the processing is based on Article 6 (1) (b) EU GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation by which a processing of personal data becomes necessary, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. c EU GDPR.

Finally, processing operations may be based on Art. 6(1)(f) EU GDPR. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of us or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject are not overridden.

Purposes and legal bases of processing – when contacting us

When you contact us (e.g. -if available- via contact form or e-mail), personal data is collected. This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of responding to your request and the associated technical administration. The legal basis for the processing of the data is our legitimate interest in responding to your request in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f EU GDPR. If the purpose of your contact is the conclusion of a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 (1) b EU GDPR. Your data will be deleted after final processing of your request, this is the case when it can be concluded that the matter concerned has been conclusively clarified and provided that no statutory retention obligations prohibit us from deleting it.

Further information can be found in our data protection information for customers and interested parties. [German only] 

Recipient of the data

“Recipient” means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body to whom personal data is disclosed, whether or not a third party.

In the course of maintaining our website and the tools used on it, the following categories of recipients may gain access to the aforementioned personal data:

IT provider or hoster

Service providers for analysis services and other website services

Transfer to a third country

A transfer to a third country only takes place in the cases specified elsewhere in this privacy policy. A transfer to a third country beyond this does not take place.

Duration of data storage

One criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. Therefore, we process and store personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or if this has been provided for by the European Directive and Regulation or other legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject. If the storage purpose ceases to apply or if such a storage period expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.

Automated decision making

Automated decision-making in the sense of Art. 22 EU GDPR does not take place.

• the right to data portability Art. 20 EU GDPR
• the right to object to processing Art. 21 EU GDPR

If the processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a. EU GDPR), you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the withdrawal.

If your personal data is processed on the basis of our legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) EU GDPR), you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation in accordance with Article 21 EU GDPR. If we cannot demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing your personal data that override your rights, freedoms and interests, we will no longer process your personal data.

Cookies

Our website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are placed and stored on a computer system via an Internet browser.

Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID; this is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string of characters by which websites and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the visited websites and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID.

Through the use of cookies, the Via Tomorrow can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.

Through the use of cookies, the information and offers on our website can be optimized for the user. Cookies enable us, as already mentioned, to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter his or her access data each time he or she visits the website, because this is handled by the website and the cookie stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online store. The online store regularly remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie or can assign the shopping cart to a specific visitor.

Cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all standard Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies or objects to the setting of such a cookie in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.

Privacy policy on the use and application of the analysis tool Piwik/Matomo

We use Matomo (formerly Piwik) for web analytics, a service provided by InnoCraft Ltd, 150 Willis St, 6011 Wellington, New Zealand, NZBN 6106769, (“Matomo”).

Protecting your privacy is important to us, so we have additionally configured Matomo so that we do not collect any personal data or place cookies in your environment. It is not possible for us to draw any conclusions about your person.

In addition to this setting, Matamo is operated in our server environment. This means that there is no connection with Matamo systems and no transfer of personal data to their systems.

Privacy policy on the use and application of LinkedIn

The controller has integrated components of the LinkedIn Corporation on this website. LinkedIn is an Internet-based social network that enables users to network with existing business contacts and to make new business contacts. Over 400 million registered people use LinkedIn in more than 200 countries. This makes LinkedIn currently the largest platform for business contacts and one of the most visited websites in the world.

The operating company of LinkedIn is LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. For data protection issues outside the USA, LinkedIn Ireland, Privacy Policy Issues, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland, is responsible.

With each individual retrieval of our website that is equipped with a LinkedIn component (LinkedIn plug-in), this component causes the browser used by the data subject to download a corresponding representation of the component from LinkedIn. Further information on LinkedIn plug-ins can be found at https://developer.linkedin.com/plugins. As part of this technical procedure, LinkedIn receives knowledge of which specific sub-page of our website is visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is logged in to LinkedIn at the same time, LinkedIn recognizes which specific sub-page of our website the data subject is visiting with each call-up of our website by the data subject and for the entire duration of the respective stay on our website. This information is collected by the LinkedIn component and assigned by LinkedIn to the respective LinkedIn account of the data subject. If the data subject activates a LinkedIn button integrated on our website, LinkedIn assigns this information to the personal LinkedIn user account of the data subject and stores this personal data.

LinkedIn always receives information via the LinkedIn component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is simultaneously logged into LinkedIn at the time of calling up our website; this takes place regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the LinkedIn component or not. If the data subject does not want this information to be transmitted to LinkedIn, he or she can prevent the transmission by logging out of his or her LinkedIn account before accessing our website.

LinkedIn offers the possibility to unsubscribe from email messages, SMS messages and targeted ads as well as to manage ad settings at https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/guest-controls. LinkedIn also uses partners such as Quantcast, Google Analytics, BlueKai, DoubleClick, Nielsen, Comscore, Eloqua and Lotame, which may set cookies. Such cookies can be rejected at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/cookie-policy. LinkedIn’s applicable privacy policy and cookie policy are available at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy.
