General information and mandatory information Data protection The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this data protection declaration. When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is data with which you can be personally identified. This data protection declaration explains which data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done. We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible. Note on the responsible body The responsible body for data processing on this website is: 3DVC Gbr. Föhrenweg 17 82178 Puchheim Telephone: 49 179 86964168 Email: 3ddesing.vargas@gmx.de The responsible body is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g. names, e-mail addresses, etc.). Storage period Unless a more specific storage period is specified within this data protection declaration, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for the data processing no longer applies. If you make a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, deletion will take place once these reasons no longer apply. General information on the legal basis for data processing on this website If you have consented to data processing, we will process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 Para. 2 lit. a GDPR if special categories of data are processed in accordance with Art. 9 Para. 1 GDPR. In the event of express consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing will also be carried out on the basis of Art. 49 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to access information on your end device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), data processing will also be carried out on the basis of Section 25 Para. 1 TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is required to fulfil the contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures, we will process your data on the basis of Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter b GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data if it is required to fulfil a legal obligation on the basis of Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter c GDPR. Data processing may also be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f GDPR. The following paragraphs of this data protection declaration provide information about the legal bases relevant in each individual case. Note on the transfer of data to third countries that are not secure in terms of data protection law and the transfer to US companies that are not DPF-certified We use, among other things, tools from companies based in third countries that are not secure in terms of data protection law and US tools whose providers are not certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). If these tools are active, your personal data can be transferred to these countries and processed there. We would like to point out that in third countries with unsafe data protection laws, a level of data protection comparable to that in the EU cannot be guaranteed. We would like to point out that the USA, as a safe third country, generally has a level of data protection comparable to that in the EU. Data transfer to the USA is therefore permitted if the recipient is certified under the “EU-US Data Privacy Framework” (DPF) or has suitable additional guarantees. Information on transfers to third countries, including data recipients, can be found in this privacy policy. Recipients of personal data As part of our business activities, we work with various external bodies. In some cases, this also requires the transfer of personal data to these external bodies. We only pass on personal data to external bodies if this is necessary to fulfill a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g. passing on data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in passing on the data in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, or if another legal basis permits the data to be passed on. When we use contract processors, we only pass on our customers’ personal data on the basis of a valid contract for order processing. In the case of joint processing, a contract for joint processing is concluded. Revocation of your consent to data processing Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke consent you have already given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out up to the time of revocation remains unaffected by the revocation. Right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct advertising (Article 21 GDPR) IF DATA PROCESSING IS CARRIED OUT ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6 PARAGRAPH 1 LIT. E OR F GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA AT ANY TIME FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH ANY PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN PROVE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OR THE PROCESSING IS FOR THE PURPOSE OF ASSERTING, EXERCISING OR DEFENDING LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION ACCORDING TO ART. 21 PARA. 1 GDPR). 4 / 27 IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED IN ORDER TO CARRY OUT DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH ADVERTISING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING IN SO FAR AS IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING (OBJECTION ACCORDING TO ART. 21 PARA. 2 GDPR). Right to complain to the competent supervisory authority In the event of violations of the GDPR, those affected have the right to complain to a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of their habitual residence, their place of work or the place of the alleged violation. The right to complain exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies. Right to data portability You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request that the data be transferred directly to another controller, this will only be done if it is technically feasible. Information, correction and deletion Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient and the purpose of the data processing and, if applicable, a right to correct or delete this data. You can contact us at any time about this and other questions about personal data. Right to restriction of processing You have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted. You can contact us at any time about this. The right to restrict processing exists in the following cases: If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to check this. For the duration of the check, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted. If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request that the data processing be restricted instead of deleted. If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted instead of deleted. If you have lodged an objection in accordance with Art. 21 Para. 1 GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted. If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data - apart from its storage - may only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a member state. 5 / 27 SSL or TLS encryption For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the website operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line. If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data that you send to us cannot be read by third parties. Objection to advertising e-mails The use of contact data published as part of the imprint obligation to send unsolicited advertising and information materials is hereby objected to. The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited advertising information being sent, for example through spam e-mails. 3. Data collection on this website Cookies Our websites use so-called “cookies”. Cookies are small data packets and do not cause any damage to your device. They are stored on your device either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or until they are automatically deleted by your web browser. Cookies can come from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services from third-party companies within websites (e.g. cookies for processing payment services). Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies can be used to evaluate user behavior or for advertising purposes. Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process, to provide certain functions you have requested (e.g. for the shopping cart function) or to optimize the website (e.g. cookies to measure the web audience) (necessary cookies) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f of GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent to the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies has been requested, processing will take place exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a of GDPR and Section 25 Paragraph 1 TTDSG); consent can be revoked at any time. You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when the browser is closed. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be restricted. You can find out which cookies and services are used on this website in this privacy policy. 6 / 27 Server log files The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are: Browser type and version Operating system used Referrer URL Host name of the accessing computer Time of the server request IP address This data is not merged with other data sources. This data is collected on the basis of Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f of GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of its website - for this purpose the server log files must be collected. Contact form If you send us enquiries via the contact form, your details from the enquiry form, including the contact details you provided there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. We will not pass this data on without your consent. This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, provided that your request is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the requests addressed to us (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR), provided that this was requested; consent can be revoked at any time. The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions - in particular retention periods - remain unaffected. Inquiry by e-mail, telephone or fax If you contact us by e-mail, telephone or fax, your inquiry, including all personal data resulting from it (name, inquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We will not pass this data on without your consent. This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, provided that your request is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR), provided that this was requested; consent can be revoked at any time. The data you send to us via contact requests will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions - in particular statutory retention periods - remain unaffected. 7 / 27 Comment function on this website For the comment function on this page, in addition to your comment, information on the time the comment was created, your e-mail address and, if you do not post anonymously, the user name you chose will be stored. Storage of the IP address Our comment function stores the IP addresses of users who write comments. Since we do not check comments on this website before they are published, we need this data in order to be able to take action against the author in the event of legal violations such as insults or propaganda. Subscribing to comments As a user of the site, you can subscribe to comments after registering. You will receive a confirmation email to check whether you are the owner of the specified email address. You can unsubscribe from this function at any time using a link in the info emails. The data entered when subscribing to comments will be deleted in this case; if you have sent this data to us for other purposes and elsewhere (e.g. newsletter order), this data will remain with us. Storage period of comments The comments and the associated data are stored and remain on this website until the commented content has been completely deleted or the comments have to be deleted for legal reasons (e.g. offensive comments). Legal basis The comments are stored on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke your consent at any time. All you need to do is send us an informal email. The legality of any data processing that has already taken place remains unaffected by the revocation. Gravatar We have integrated Gravatar on this website. The provider is Automattic Inc., 60 29th Street #343, San Francisco, CA 94110, USA (hereinafter Gravatar). Gravatar is a tool that makes it possible to provide personal images (avatars) to users of our website. The avatars serve as visual representations of users and are displayed wherever a user interacts with the platform (e.g. in forums or chats). When a user interacts with the platform, their avatar is displayed based on the selection linked to their email address. This gives users' online presence a personal touch and makes identification easier, as the selected image is associated with users when they are active online. If you comment or interact on our website and Gravatar is activated, the hash of the email address of the user who uses Gravatar (used as an ID) is processed by Gravatar. The use of Gravatar is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in an attractive presentation of its forums. If corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR and Section 25 Para. 1 TTDSG. The consent can be revoked at any time. Further details can be found in the provider's privacy policy at 8 / 27 https://automattic.com/privacy/. The company has certification according to the "EU-US Data Privacy Framework" (DPF). The DPF is an agreement between the European Union and the USA that is intended to ensure compliance with European data protection standards when processing data in the USA.

Social media Social media elements with Shariff This website uses elements from social media (e.g. Facebook, X, Instagram, Pinterest, XING, LinkedIn, Tumblr). You can usually recognize the social media elements by the respective social media logos. To ensure data protection on this website, we only use these elements together with the so-called “Shariff” solution. This application prevents the social media elements integrated on this website from transmitting your personal data to the respective provider when you first enter the page. A direct connection to the provider's server is only established when you activate the respective social media element by clicking on the corresponding button (consent). As soon as you activate the social media element, the respective provider receives the information that you have visited this website using your IP address. If you are logged into your respective social media account (e.g. Facebook) at the same time, the respective provider can assign your visit to this website to your user account. Activating the plug-in constitutes consent within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR and Section 25 Para. 1 TTDSG. You can revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future. The service is used to obtain the legally required consent for the use of certain technologies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c GDPR.

However, according to Facebook, the data collected is also transferred to the USA and other third countries. An overview of Facebook social media elements can be found here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=de_DE. If the social media element is active, a direct connection is established between your device and the Facebook server. Facebook therefore receives the information that you have visited this website using your IP address. If you click the Facebook "Like" button while you are logged into your Facebook account, you can link the contents of this website to your Facebook profile. This enables Facebook to associate your visit to this website with your user account.
