privacy policy



We are very delighted that you have shown interest in our enterprise. Data protection is of a particularly high priority for the management of the Veritas Wine UG. The use of the Internet pages of the Veritas Wine UG is possible without any indication of personal data; however, if a data subject wants to use special enterprise services via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no statutory basis for such processing, 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 General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to the Veritas Wine UG. By means of this data protection declaration, our enterprise would like to inform the general public of the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed, by means of this data protection declaration, of the rights to which they are entitled.

As the controller, the Veritas Wine UG has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. However, Internet-based data transmissions may in principle have security gaps, so absolute protection may not be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transfer personal data to us via alternative means, e.g. by telephone.

1. Definitions

The data protection declaration of the Veritas Wine UG is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our data protection declaration should be legible and understandable for the general public, as well as our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to first explain the terminology used. In this data protection declaration, we use, inter alia, the following terms:

  • A) PERSONAL DATA

Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (“data subject”). An identifiable natural person is one who 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 the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person. 

    • B) DATA SUBJECT

      Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person, whose personal data is processed by the controller responsible for the processing.

    • C) PROCESSING

      Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

      • D) RESTRICTION OF PROCESSING

        Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their processing in the future.

        • E) PROFILING

          Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.

        • F) PSEUDONYMISATION

          Pseudonymisation is 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 organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

        • G) CONTROLLER OR CONTROLLER RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PROCESSING

          Controller or controller responsible for the processing is 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.

          • H) PROCESSOR

            Processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

          • I) RECIPIENT

            Recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body, to which the personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with 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. 

          • J) THIRD PARTY

            Third party is 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 authorised to process personal data.

          • K) CONSENT

            Consent of the data subject is any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.


          2. Name and address of the controller

          Controller for the purposes of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), other data protection laws applicable in Member states of the European Union and other provisions related to data protection is:
           
          Veritas Wine UG (limited liability)
          Alter Brauhof 1, 76137 Karlsruhe – Germany
          Owner contact email: info@devinespirits.de
          Website: www.devinespirits.de

           

          3. Cookies

          The Internet pages of the Veritas Wine UG use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in a computer system via an Internet browser.

          Many Internet sites 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 through which Internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows visited Internet sites and servers to differentiate the individual browser of the dats subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified using the unique cookie ID.

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

          By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized with the user in mind. Cookies allow us, as previously mentioned, to recognize our website users. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to utilize our website. The website user that uses cookies, e.g. does not have to enter access data each time the website is accessed, because this is taken over by the website, and the cookie is thus stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online shop. The online store remembers the articles that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.

          The data subject may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies through our website by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used, and may thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Furthermore, already set cookies may be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all popular Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be entirely usable.

           

          4. Collection of general data and information

          The website of the Veritas Wine UG collects a series of general data and information when a data subject or automated system calls up the website. This general data and information are stored in the server log files. Collected may be (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-websites, (5) the date and time of access to the Internet site, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) any other similar data and information that may be used in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

          When using these general data and information, the Veritas Wine UG does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website as well as its advertisement, (3) ensure the long-term viability of our information technology systems and website technology, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in case of a cyber-attack. Therefore, the Veritas Wine UG analyzes anonymously collected data and information statistically, with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise, and to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

           

          5. Registration on our website

          The data subject has the possibility to register on the website of the controller with the indication of personal data. Which personal data are transmitted to the controller is determined by the respective input mask used for the registration. The personal data entered by the data subject are collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the controller, and for his own purposes. The controller may request transfer to one or more processors (e.g. a parcel service) that also uses personal data for an internal purpose which is attributable to the controller.

          By registering on the website of the controller, the IP address—assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) and used by the data subject—date, and time of the registration are also stored. The storage of this data takes place against the background that this is the only way to prevent the misuse of our services, and, if necessary, to make it possible to investigate committed offenses. Insofar, the storage of this data is necessary to secure the controller. This data is not passed on to third parties unless there is a statutory obligation to pass on the data, or if the transfer serves the aim of criminal prosecution.

          The registration of the data subject, with the voluntary indication of personal data, is intended to enable the controller to offer the data subject contents or services that may only be offered to registered users due to the nature of the matter in question. Registered persons are free to change the personal data specified during the registration at any time, or to have them completely deleted from the data stock of the controller.

          The data controller shall, at any time, provide information upon request to each data subject as to what personal data are stored about the data subject. In addition, the data controller shall correct or erase personal data at the request or indication of the data subject, insofar as there are no statutory storage obligations. The entirety of the controller’s employees are available to the data subject in this respect as contact persons.

           

          6. Subscribtion to our newsletters

          On the website of the Veritas Wine UG, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our enterprise’s newsletter. The input mask used for this purpose determines what personal data are transmitted, as well as when the newsletter is ordered from the controller.

          Veritas Wine UG informs its customers and business partners about offers from the company. The company's newsletter can only be received by the person concerned if (1) the person concerned has a valid email address and (2) the person concerned has registered to receive the newsletter. For legal reasons, a confirmation e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address entered by a person concerned for the newsletter dispatch using the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation e-mail serves to prove whether the owner of the e-mail address has received the newsletter as the person concerned.

          When registering for the newsletter, we also save the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) of the computer system used by the person concerned at the time of registration, as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to trace a (possible) misuse of the e-mail address of a data subject at a later point in time and therefore serves to provide legal protection for the clerk. The personal data collected when registering for the newsletter will only be used to send our newsletter. In addition, subscribers to the newsletter can be informed by e-mail if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a relevant registration, as could be the case with changes to the newsletter offer, or with a change in the technical conditions. The personal data collected by the newsletter service will not be passed on to third parties. The data subject can cancel the subscription to our newsletter at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data that the data subject has given to send the newsletter can be revoked at any time. There is a corresponding link in every newsletter for the purpose of withdrawing consent.

           

          7. Newsletter-Tracking

          The Veritas Wine UG newsletters contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in such e-mails, which is sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and analysis. This enables a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, the Veritas Wine UG can recognize whether and when an e-mail was opened by a data subject and which links in the e-mail were called up by the data subject.

          These personal data collected in the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and evaluated by the person responsible for processing in order to optimize the dispatch of the newsletter and to better adapt the content of future newsletters to the interests of the person concerned. These personal data will not be passed on to third parties. Affected persons are entitled at any time to revoke the declaration of consent given separately in the double opt-in procedure. After a revocation, this personal data will be deleted by the person responsible for processing. The Veritas Wine UG automatically interprets a cancellation from the receipt of the newsletter as a revocation.

           

          8. Possibility of contact via the website

          Due to legal regulations, the Veritas Wine UG website contains information that enables quick electronic contact to our company and direct communication with us, which also includes a general address for so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the person responsible for processing by email or a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject are automatically saved. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the person responsible for processing are stored for the purposes of processing or contacting the data subject. A transfer of this personal data to third parties does not take place.

           

          9. Routine deletion and blocking of personal data

          The person responsible processes and stores personal data of the person concerned only for the period of time that is necessary to achieve the storage purpose or as far as this has been provided for by the European directives and regulations or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the person responsible is subject.

          If the purpose of storage no longer applies or if a storage period prescribed by the European directives and regulations or another responsible legislator expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.

Facebook allows social network users to create private profiles, upload photos, and connect through friend requests.
              • The operating company of Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. If a person lives outside the USA or Canada, the controller is Facebook Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.
              • With each call-up of one of the individual pages of this website operated by the controller on which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-ins) has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically requested to download the display of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook via the Facebook component. An overview of all Facebook plug-ins can be found at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/. As part of this technical procedure, Facebook receives knowledge of which specific subpage of our website is visited by the data subject.
              • If the data subject is logged in to Facebook at the same time, Facebook recognizes which specific subpage of our website was visited by the data subject each time the data subject calls up our website and for the entire duration of the respective stay on our website. This information is collected by the Facebook component and assigned to the respective Facebook account of the data subject. If the data subject activates one of the Facebook buttons integrated on our website, for example the "Like" button, or if the data subject makes a comment, Facebook assigns this information to the personal Facebook user account of the data subject and stores the personal data.
              • Through the Facebook component, Facebook always receives information about the visit to our website by the data subject if the data subject is logged into Facebook at the same time as calling up our website. This takes place regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Facebook component or not. If the data subject does not want this information to be transmitted to Facebook, he or she can prevent the transmission by logging out of his or her Facebook account before accessing our website.

              12. Privacy policy on the use and application of Google Analytics (with anonymization function)

              • The controller has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymization function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analytics is the collection, collation and analysis of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. Among other things, a web analytics service collects data about which website a person came from (so-called referrer), which subpages were visited or how often and for how long a subpage was accessed. Web analytics are mainly used to optimize a website and to perform a cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising.
              • The operator of the Google Analytics component is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.
              • The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze traffic on our website. Google uses the collected data and information, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website and to provide online reports showing the activities on our website and to provide us with other services related to the use of our website.

Google uses the collected data and information, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website and to provide online reports showing the activities on our website and to provide us with other services related to the use of our website.
              • Google Analytics sets a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. The definition of cookies is explained above. By setting the cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the use of our website. Each time one of the individual pages of this website operated by the data controller is called up and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject automatically transmits data to Google through the Google Analytics component for the purposes of online advertising and commission accounting. As part of this technical process, Google obtains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which Google uses, among other things, to track the origin of visitors and clicks.
              • The cookie stores personal information, such as the access time, the location from which the access was made, and the frequency of the visit to our website by the data subject. Each time the data subject visits our website, this personal data, including the IP address of the Internet access used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected by the technical process to third parties.
              • The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as already described above, at any time by means of an appropriate setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies.

Payments are processed via so-called PayPal accounts, which are virtual private or business accounts.

                  17. Legal basis for the processing

                  • Art. 6(1) lit. a DSGVO serves as the legal basis for processing operations where 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 for the delivery of goods or the provision of another service, the processing is based on Art. 6(1)(b) DSGVO. 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 DSGVO. In rare cases, processing of personal data may become necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor is injured on our premises and his or her name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6(1) lit. d DSGVO.
                  • Finally, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO. This legal basis serves for processing operations which are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases, if the processing is necessary to protect the legitimate interests of our company or a third party and the former interest is not overridden or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require the protection of personal data. Such processing operations are permitted in particular because they were specifically mentioned by the European Directive and Regulation Maker. He considered that a legitimate interest could be presumed if the data subject is a client of the controller (recital 47, second sentence, GDPR).

                   

                  18. The legitimate interests of the responsible party or a third party

                  • Insofar as the processing of personal data is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO, our legitimate interest is to conduct our business for the benefit of all our employees and shareholders.

                   

                  19. Period for which the personal data are stored

                  • The criterion for determining the storage period of the personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiry of the period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, provided that it is no longer required for the fulfillment or initiation of the contract.

                   

                  20. Provision of personal data as a legal or contractual obligation; prerequisite for the conclusion of a contract; obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of not providing such data.

                  • We would like to point out that the provision of personal data is sometimes required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also result from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner).
                  • Sometimes, in order to conclude a contract, it may be necessary for a data subject to provide us with personal data that must subsequently be processed by us. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company concludes a contract with him or her. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded.
                  • Before providing personal data by the data subject, the data subject must contact an employee. The employee shall inform the data subject whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or by contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and what the consequences of not providing the personal data are.
