General provisions


Scope of processing of personal data
We do not process personal data of our users.

Legal basis for the processing of personal data
If and when we obtain the consent from the data subject for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit.a GDPR shall apply.

If processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests of the controller or a third party, and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the former interest, Art. 6, para. 1 lit. F GDPR shall apply as the legal basis for processing.

Data erasure and storage period
We do not store any personal data of our users.


Description of data processing


There is an order processing contract with a provider hosting the website https://www.vct-compound.com/. Each time our website is accessed our provider’s system gathers automatically data and information from the system of the calling computer as far as this is required to provide a functioning website and our content and services. The same takes place for the transmission of emails. The kind of stored data and information and the storage period can be checked on the provider’s website.


Email contact


Contacting is possible via the email address made available. In such case the user’s personal data transmitted will not be stored. No data will be disclosed to any third party in this connection. The data are used exclusively for the processing of the conversation.

Legal basis of data processing
The legal basis for data processing is the user’s consent as per Art. 6, para.1 lit. a GDPR.

Purpose of data processing
Contacting by email also involves the necessary justified interest in a processing of the data.

Storage period
For data transmitted by email it shall apply until the relevant conversation with the user has ended. Such conversation ends when the circumstances suggest that the matter concerned has been finally clarified.

Right to object and remove
The user has the right to withdraw his/her consent to the processing of personal data. If the user contacts us by email, he/she may object the storage of the personal data at any time. In such case the conversation will not be continued.

The withdrawal of the consent shall be sent by email to the email address given in the legal notice or by post to the address given there.

All personal data stored in the course of contacting will be deleted in such case.

(2) The processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the personal data and request the restriction of their use instead;
(3) The Controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing but they are required by you for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, or
(4) If you have objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the Controller override your grounds.

Where processing of your personal data has been restricted, such data shall, with the exception of storage, only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interests of the Union or of a Member State.

If processing was restricted in accordance with the a.m. prerequisites, you will be informed by the Controller before the restriction is lifted.

Right to erasure

You may demand from the Controller the relevant personal data to be erased forthwith, and the Controller shall have the obligation to erase the same without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies:
(1) The personal data relating to you are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.

Right to information
If you asserted the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing towards the Controller, the latter shall inform all receivers to whom your personal data were disclosed about the rectification or erasure of data or restriction of processing unless the same turns out to be impossible or involves disproportionate efforts.

You have the right towards the Controller to get informed on said receivers.

Right to object
You have the right to object on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you which is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e or f GDPR.

The Controller no longer processes your personal data unless he/she demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedom or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

Right to withdraw consent
You have the right to withdraw at any time your declaration of consent. The withdrawal of the consent shall not affect the lawfulness of the processing done.
