Privacy Policy

We are very pleased about your interest in our company. Data protection is of particular importance to the management of Tim Vida. Use of the Tim Vida website is generally possible without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to use specific services of our company via our website, the processing of personal data may be required. Where the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, email address, or telephone number of a data subject, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and in compliance with the country-specific data protection provisions applicable to Tim Vida. By means of this privacy policy, our company wishes to inform the public about the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed of the rights to which they are entitled by means of this privacy policy.

Tim Vida, as the controller, has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete possible protection of personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions may, in principle, have 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.

1. Definitions

The privacy policy of Tim Vida is based on the terminology used by the European legislature when the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) was enacted. Our privacy policy is intended to be easy to read and understand for the public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we wish to explain the terms used in advance.

In this privacy policy, we use, among other things, the following terms:

a) Personal data

Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter "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 one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person.

b) Data subject

A data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller.

c) Processing

Processing means any operation or set of operations which is performed on 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.

d) Restriction of processing

Restriction of processing means 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 analyze or predict aspects concerning that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location, or movements.

f) Pseudonymization

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.

g) Controller or data controller

The controller or data controller 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

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

i) Recipient

A recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or another body to which 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.

j) Third party

A 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 authorized to process personal data.

k) Consent

Consent means 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 contact details of the controller

E-Mail: web@timvida.de
Website: www.tera-one.de

3. Cookies

The Tim Vida website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system via an internet browser.

Many 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 through which internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables 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, Tim Vida 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 in the interest of the user. Cookies allow 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 their access data each time they visit 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 remembers the items 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 object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set may be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.

4. Collection of general data and information

The Tim Vida website collects a series of general data and information when a data subject or automated system accesses the website. This general data and information is stored in the server log files. The data collected may include (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-pages that are accessed on our website via an accessing system, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (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 serves to avert danger in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using this general data and information, Tim Vida does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. This information is rather needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website and its advertisements, (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 the event of a cyberattack. Tim Vida therefore analyzes this anonymously collected data and information statistically, and further with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company, and ultimately to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of 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 option to register on the website of the controller by providing personal data. Which personal data is transmitted to the controller in this process is determined by the respective input mask used for registration. The personal data entered by the data subject is collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the controller and for its own purposes. The controller may arrange for data to be transferred to one or more processors, for example a parcel service provider, who will also use the personal data exclusively for an internal purpose attributable to the controller.

By registering on the website of the controller, the IP address assigned by the data subject's internet service provider (ISP), the date, and the time of registration are also stored. This data is stored against the background that only in this way can the misuse of our services be prevented, and this data makes it possible, if necessary, to clarify committed offenses. In this respect, the storage of this data is necessary for the security of the controller. This data is not passed on to third parties as a matter of principle, unless there is a legal obligation to pass it on, or unless the transfer serves the purpose of criminal prosecution.

The registration of the data subject, with the voluntary provision of personal data, is intended to enable the controller to offer the data subject content or services that can only be offered to registered users by their very nature. Registered persons are free to modify the personal data provided during registration at any time, or to have it completely deleted from the data stock of the controller.

The controller shall, at any time, provide information on request to each data subject about what personal data is stored about them. Furthermore, the controller shall correct or delete personal data at the request or indication of the data subject, provided there are no statutory retention obligations to the contrary. The entirety of the controller's staff is available to the data subject as a point of contact in this context.

6. Contact possibility via the website

The Tim Vida website contains information that enables quick electronic contact with our company as well as direct communication with us, as required by law, which also includes a general address for electronic mail (email address). If a data subject contacts the controller by email or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject is automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the controller is stored for the purposes of processing or contacting the data subject. There is no transfer of this personal data to third parties.

7. Routine erasure and blocking of personal data

The controller processes and stores personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or as far as this is granted by the European legislature or other legislators in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.

If the storage purpose ceases to apply, or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislature or another competent legislator expires, the personal data are routinely blocked or erased in accordance with statutory requirements.

8. Rights of the data subject

a) Right to confirmation

Where Tim Vida has made personal data public and is obliged, as a controller, pursuant to Art. 17 para. 1 GDPR to erase the personal data, Tim Vida shall, taking into account available technology and the cost of implementation, take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform other controllers processing the personal data that the data subject has requested the erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data, as far as processing is not required.

f) Right to data portability

Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislature, to receive the personal data concerning them, which was provided by the data subject to a controller, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. They also have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided, as long as the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR, or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, and the processing is carried out by automated means, provided the processing is not necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

Furthermore, in exercising their right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20 para. 1 GDPR, the data subject has the right to have personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and where doing so does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

To assert the right to data portability, the data subject may at any time contact any member of staff of Tim Vida.

Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislature, to object, on grounds relating to their particular situation, at any time to the processing of personal data concerning them which is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e or f GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on those provisions.

Tim Vida shall no longer process the personal data in the event of the objection, unless we can demonstrate 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.

If Tim Vida processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject shall have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning them for such marketing. This applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing.

In addition, the data subject has the right, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to object to the processing of personal data concerning them by Tim Vida for scientific or historical research purposes, or for statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89 para. 1 GDPR, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.

To exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact any member of Tim Vida staff directly. The data subject is also free, in the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to exercise their right to object by automated means using technical specifications.

h) Automated individual decision-making, including profiling

Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislature, not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning them or similarly significantly affects them, unless the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between the data subject and a controller, or (2) 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 (3) is based on the data subject's explicit consent.

If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is based on the data subject's explicit consent, Tim Vida 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.

16. Legal basis for processing

Art. 6 I lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for our company for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. Where 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 necessary for the supply of goods or the provision of any other service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. b GDPR. The same applies to processing operations necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of enquiries about our products or services. Where our company is subject to a legal obligation requiring processing of personal data, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor to our premises were injured and as a result their name, age, health insurance data, or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital, or other third party. In that case processing would be based on Art. 6 I lit. d GDPR. Finally, processing operations may be based on Art. 6 I lit. f GDPR. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal ground if the processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject. Such processing operations are particularly permissible because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislature. It took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47 sentence 2 GDPR).

17. Legitimate interests pursued by the controller or a third party

Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I lit. f GDPR, our legitimate interest is the conduct of our business operations for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and shareholders.

18. Duration for which personal data are stored

The criterion used to determine the storage period for personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiry of that period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, provided it is no longer necessary for the performance or initiation of a contract.

19. Statutory or contractual requirements to provide personal data; necessity for contract conclusion; obligation of the data subject to provide personal data; possible consequences of failure to provide

We inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also result from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner). In some cases, it may be necessary for a contract to be concluded that a data subject provides us with personal data which must subsequently be processed by us. The data subject is, for example, obligated to provide us with personal data when our company concludes a contract with them. Failure to provide the personal data would have the consequence that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject must contact one of our staff. Our staff will inform 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 the consequences of failing to provide the personal data would be.

20. Existence of automated decision-making

As a responsible company, we refrain from automatic decision-making or profiling.
