VISUHOST is not required to appoint a data protection officer under Article 37 GDPR.
We consider it our primary duty to maintain the confidentiality of the personal data you provide to us and to protect it from unauthorized access. Therefore, we apply the utmost care and state-of-the-art security standards to ensure maximum protection of your personal data.
As a private company, we are subject to the provisions of the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG). We have taken technical and organizational measures to ensure that the data protection rules are observed both by us and by our external service providers.
Definitions
The law requires that personal data be processed lawfully, fairly, and transparently concerning the data subject (principle of 'lawfulness, fairness, and transparency'). To ensure this, we inform you of the individual legal definitions used in this privacy statement:
'Personal data' means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter 'data subject'). A natural person is considered identifiable if they can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or to one or more factors specific to their physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity.
'Processing' means any operation or set of operations performed on personal data or sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination, or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure, or destruction.
'Restriction of processing' means the marking of stored personal data to limit its processing in the future.
'Filing system' means any structured set of personal data accessible according to specific criteria, whether centralized, decentralized, or distributed on a functional or geographical basis.
'Controller' means the natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data; where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.
'Processor' means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
'Recipient' means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or another body to which the personal data is disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry under Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients; the processing of those data by those public authorities shall be in compliance with the applicable data protection rules according to the purposes of the processing.
'Third party' means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or body other than the data subject, controller, processor, and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorized to process personal data.
'Consent' of the data subject means any freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which they, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signify agreement to the processing of personal data relating to them.
'Profiling' means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of using those data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location, or movements.
'Pseudonymization' means the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
Processing of personal data is only lawful if there is a legal basis for the processing. According to Article 6(1)(a) to (f) GDPR, the legal bases for processing may include:
a. The data subject has given consent to the processing of their personal data for one or more specific purposes;
b. Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract;
c. Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject;
d. Processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person;
e. Processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
f. Processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject, which require protection of personal data, in particular, where the data subject is a child.

You have the right to demand that we immediately correct any inaccurate personal data concerning you. Taking into account the purposes of the processing, you have the right to demand the completion of incomplete personal data, including by means of a supplementary statement.
You have the right to demand that the controller erase personal data concerning you without undue delay, and we are obliged to erase this personal data without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies:
a. The personal data is no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
b. The data subject withdraws consent on which the processing is based according to Article 6(1)(a) or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR, and there is no other legal ground for the processing.
c. The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) GDPR.
d. The personal data has been unlawfully processed.
e. The personal data must be erased to comply with a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.
f. The personal data has been collected concerning the offer of information society services referred to in Article 8(1) GDPR.
Where the controller has made the personal data public and is obliged pursuant to paragraph 1 to erase it, the controller, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform controllers processing the personal data that the data subject has requested the erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copies or replications of, that personal data.
The right to erasure ('right to be forgotten') does not apply to the extent that processing is necessary:
– for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information;
– for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
– for reasons of public interest in the area of public health according to Article 9(2)(h) and (i) and Article 9(3) GDPR;
– for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes, or statistical purposes according to Article 89(1) GDPR to the extent that the right referred to in paragraph 1 is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of that processing; or
– for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
You have the right to demand that we restrict the processing of your personal data where one of the following conditions applies:

Where processing has been restricted according to the conditions mentioned above, such personal data shall, with the exception of storage, only be processed with the data subject's consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims or the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or a Member State.
To exercise the right to restrict processing, the data subject may contact us at any time using the contact details provided above.
You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided to us, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and you have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from us, where:
a. The processing is based on consent according to Article 6(1)(a) or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR or on a contract according to Article 6(1)(b) GDPR; and
b. The processing is carried out by automated means.
In exercising your right to data portability according to paragraph 1, you have the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible. Exercising the right to data portability does not affect the right to erasure ('right to be forgotten'). This right does not apply to processing necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, including profiling based on those provisions. The controller shall no longer process the personal data unless the controller demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
Where personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing, including profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. Where you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data shall no longer be processed for such purposes.
In the context of using information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, you may exercise your right to object by automated means using technical specifications.
You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you for scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes under Article 89(1), except where the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.
You may exercise your right to object at any time by contacting the relevant controller.
You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. This right shall not apply if the decision:
a. Is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data controller;
b. Is authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests; or
c. Is based on the data subject's explicit consent.
The controller shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express their point of view, and to contest the decision.
This right may be exercised at any time by the data subject by contacting the relevant controller.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, particularly in the Member State where you reside, work, or where the alleged infringement occurred, if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes the GDPR.
You have the right to an effective judicial remedy, without prejudice to any available administrative or non-judicial remedy, including the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority under Article 77 GDPR, if you consider that your rights under this Regulation have been infringed as a result of the processing of your personal data in non-compliance with this Regulation.
