This privacy policy provides users of our service with information about the type, scope and purpose of our collection and use of personal data. ‘Personal data’ means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.
We treat your personal data confidentially, and in accordance with data protection laws and regulations, as well as this privacy policy. Personal data is collected, processed and used only if you have consented to this activity or if such an activity is permitted by law. We employ appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure data protection and data security, and to keep personal data collection to a minimum.
We maintain our privacy policy at https://www.vsmabrasives.com/en/data-protection/, from where it can be viewed, downloaded and printed out at any time.
Accordingly, complete protection against access by third parties is not possible. We use technical and organisational measures to protect our website and other systems against the loss, destruction, access, modification and distribution of your data by unauthorised persons. Despite regular checks, however, it is not possible to provide complete protection against all risks.
Certain parts of this website utilise the industry standard SSL (Secure Sockets Layer). This ensures the confidentiality of your personal information as sent via the internet. A closed key or lock symbol in the lower status bar of your browser shows you if an individual page of our website is being transmitted in an encrypted format.
We would like to remind you that data transmission via the internet (e.g. communication by email) can entail security risks.

3. Legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The provision of personal data is in part in our legitimate interest, and the provision of this data is partly required by law (see point 5, second paragraph). Not providing the data is not an option.
4. Purpose of the data processing
The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary in order to enable the website to be delivered to the user’s computer. For this purpose, the IP address of the user must remain stored for the duration of the session.
The data is stored in log files in order to ensure the functionality of the website. We also use the data to optimise the website and to guarantee the security of our IT systems. We also have a legitimate interest in this data processing in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The data is not evaluated for marketing purposes in this context.
5. Categories of recipients of personal data and data processing outside the European Union
We do not pass on personal data to third parties unless we are obliged to do so by law or we have given consent to do so.
This does not include the involvement of service providers, e.g. for the hosting of the website, which we carefully select in particular with regard to data protection and security of the data and for which we have taken all measures required under data protection law for permissible data processing. Data is not processed outside the European Union.
6. Duration of storage
The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. For data collected for the provision of the website, this is deleted when the respective session has ended, or within a maximum of seven days.
7. Possibility of objection and elimination
The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is essential for the operation of the website. Consequently, the user has no right to object.
We use the Content Delivery Network (CDN) of Cloudflare Germany GmbH, Rosental 7, c/o Mindspace, 80331 Munich Germany (Cloudflare) to increase the security and delivery speed of our website. A CDN is a network of (globally) distributed servers that is able to deliver optimised content to the website user. Personal data may be processed in Cloudflare server log files for this purpose.
Cloudflare is the recipient of your personal data and acts as a processor for us. This corresponds to our legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6(1)(1)(f) GDPR, not to operate a Content Delivery Network ourself and to have the page displayed in a fault-free and optimised manner.
You have the right to object to this processing. Whether the objection is successful must be determined in the context of a balance of interests.
Your personal data will be stored by Cloudflare for as long as necessary for the purposes described.
You can find more information on the options for objection and elimination relating to Cloudflare at: https://www.cloudflare.com/gdpr/introduction/
We have concluded a corresponding agreement on order processing or standard contractual clauses with Cloudflare on the basis of GDPR. The data is processed in Germany or countries within the European Union. If processing takes place in third countries in certain cases, processing shall only take place if the level of data protection in the third country has been deemed by the EU Commission to be adequate in accordance with Article 45 GDPR, on the basis of the EU standard contractual clauses or if an adequate level of data protection is ensured by the data recipient in another way.

3. YouTube
We have integrated YouTube videos into our website. These videos are stored at http://www.YouTube.com and can be played directly from our website. The videos are all embedded in "enhanced privacy mode", which means that if you do not play the videos, no data about you as a user will be transferred to YouTube. Only when you play the videos will personal data be transferred. We have no control over this data transfer. It is possible that your data on YouTube or Google may be transferred to the USA and thus to an unsecure third country under data protection law. Unsecure third countries do not offer a level of data protection comparable to EU standards. No other guarantees are offered to compensate for this deficit. There is a risk that the transfer could result in government bodies accessing your data without you having effective legal protection
If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly associated with your account. If you do not wish the data to be associated with your YouTube profile, you must log out before activating the button. YouTube stores your data as user profiles and uses it for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or the needs-based design of its website. Such evaluations are carried out (even for users who are not logged in) in particular to deliver needs-based advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to these user profiles being created. To exercise this right, you must contact YouTube.
For more information on the purpose and scope of data collection and processing by YouTube, please see the relevant privacy policy. The policy also provides you with further information about your rights and about the settings you can adjust in order to protect your privacy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en&gl=de.
