New technologies and the constant development of this website may result in changes to this privacy policy. We recommend that you review the privacy policy at regular intervals.
The terms used, such as “personal data” or “processing,” are defined in Art. 4 GDPR.
Below, we provide information about how we process your personal data and your claims and rights under data protection regulations.

Access data
Based on our legitimate interest (see Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR), we collect data about access to the website and store it as “server log files” on the website's server. The following data is logged:
Website visited
Time of access
Amount of data sent in bytes
Source/reference from which you accessed the site
Browser used
Operating system used
IP address used
The server log files are stored for a maximum of 7 days and then deleted. The data is stored for security reasons, e.g. to investigate cases of misuse. If data must be retained for evidentiary reasons, it is excluded from deletion until the incident has been finally clarified.
Cookies & reach measurement
Cookies are small files that are stored on data carriers and save certain settings and data for exchange with computer systems via Internet browsers. Our website uses cookies to give you convenient access to the website. Your language settings and log-in information are stored and transmitted in the cookies. The legal basis for the processing of personal data using cookies is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
It is also possible to use our website without cookies. You can deactivate the use of cookies in your Internet browser.
We do not use cookies for reach measurement.
Collection and processing of personal data
We collect, use, and disclose your personal data only if this is permitted by law or if you consent to the collection of data.
Personal data is any information that can be used to identify you and that can be traced back to you—for example, your name, email address, and telephone number.
You can also visit this website without providing any personal information. However, in order to improve our online offering, we store your access data to this website (without personal reference). This access data includes, for example, the file you requested or the name of your Internet provider. The anonymization of the data means that it is not possible to draw any conclusions about your person.
Handling of contact data
If you contact us using the contact options provided, your details will be stored so that they can be used to process and respond to your enquiry. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your consent.
Handling comments and posts
If you leave a post or comment on this website, your IP address will be stored. This is done on the basis of our legitimate interests within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f. GDPR and serves to ensure our security as website operators: If your comment violates applicable law, we may be prosecuted, which is why we have an interest in the identity of the author of the comment or post.
User rights
As a user, you have the right to request free information about what personal data has been stored about you. You also have the right to have incorrect data corrected and to restrict the processing or deletion of your personal data. If applicable, you can also assert your right to data portability. If you believe that your data has been processed unlawfully, you can lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. You can exercise this right with a supervisory authority in the Member State of your residence, your place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement. In Hanover, the headquarters of VISCODA, the competent supervisory authority is: The State Commissioner for Data Protection of Lower Saxony, Prinzenstraße 5, 30159 Hanover.
Deletion of data
Provided that your request does not conflict with a legal obligation to retain data (e.g., data retention), you have the right to have your data deleted. Data stored by us will be deleted if it is no longer required for its intended purpose and there are no legal retention periods. If deletion cannot be carried out because the data is required for permissible legal purposes, data processing will be restricted. In this case, the data will be blocked and not processed for other purposes.
Right to object
Users of this website may exercise their right to object and object to the processing of their personal data at any time.
If you wish to have your personal data corrected, blocked, deleted, or wish to receive information about your stored personal data, or if you have any questions regarding the collection, processing, or use of your personal data, or wish to revoke your consent, please contact us at the following email address: datenschutz@viscoda.com
Data security
We secure our website and other systems against loss, destruction, access, modification, or distribution of data by unauthorized persons through technical and organizational measures. Despite regular checks, however, complete protection against all risks is not possible.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
Due to the development of the Internet and case law, we reserve the right to adapt this privacy policy to technical and legal requirements at any time.
