3. Cookies
The websites of the „VETTE-EDV Beratung & Entwicklung GmbH“ use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system via an internet browser.
Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a character string by which Internet pages 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.
By using cookies, „VETTE-EDV Beratung & Entwicklung GmbH“ can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.
A cookie can be used to optimize the information and offers on our website in the interests of the user. As already mentioned, cookies enable us to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. The user of a website that uses cookies, for example, does not have to re-enter his access data every time he visits the website, because this is taken over by the website and the cookie stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping basket in the online shop. The online shop remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.
The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time in the way of a corresponding setting of the used internet browser and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies.

If our company is subject to a legal obligation which requires the processing of personal data, for example to fulfill tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit.c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data could become necessary to protect vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, a hospital or other third parties. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6 I lit. d DS-GVO. Ultimately, processing operations would based on Art. 6 I lit. f DS-GVO. This legal basis is based on processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases if processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh. We are particularly permitted to carry out such processing because they have been particularly mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, he considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the responsible person (recital 47 sentence 2 GDPR).
16. Legitimate interests in processing pursued by the responsible person or a third party
If the processing of personal data is based on Art. 6 I lit.f GDPR, our legitimate interest is to carry out our business for the benefit of all our employees and our shareholders.
17. Duration for which the personal data is stored
The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After the period has expired, the relevant data is routinely deleted, provided that it is no longer required for contract fulfillment or contract initiation.
18. Legal or contractual provisions for the provision of personal data; the necessity for the conclusion of the contract; the obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of non-deployment
We explain to you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or can also result from contractual regulations (e.g. information on the contractual partner). In order to conclude a contract, it may sometimes be necessary for a data subject to provide us with personal data that we subsequently have to process. For example, the person concerned is obliged to provide us with personal data when our company concludes a contract with them. Failure to provide personal data would mean that the contract could not be concluded with the data subject. Before the data subject provides personal data, the data subject must contact our data protection officer. Our data protection officer clarifies to the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and what consequences the non-provision of the personal data would have.
19. Existence of automated decision-making
As a responsible company, we refrain from automatic decision-making or profiling.
