Appointment of the responsible body
The responsible body for data processing on this website is:
Visa Gate GmbH
represented by the managing directors Markus Glatz and Raphael Mahir

The controller alone or together with others decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g. names, contact data, etc.).
Revocation of your consent to data processing
Some data processing procedures are only possible with your express consent. A revocation of your already given consent is possible at any time. An informal notification by e-mail is sufficient for the revocation. The legality of the data processing up to the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Right of appeal to the competent supervisory authority
As the person concerned, you have a right of appeal to the responsible supervisory authority in the event of a breach of data protection law. The responsible supervisory authority with regard to data protection issues is the data protection officer of the federal state in which our company is based.

Right to data transferability
You have the right to have data which we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract handed over to yourself or to third parties. It is provided in a machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another person responsible, this will only take place if it is technically feasible.
Right to information, correction, blocking, deletion
You have the right to free information about your stored personal data, the origin of the data, its recipients and the purpose of data processing and, if necessary, a right to correction, blocking or deletion of this data at any time within the scope of the applicable legal provisions. In this regard and also for further questions on the subject of personal data, you can contact us at any time via the contact options listed in the imprint.
SSL or TLS encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content that you send to us as the site operator, our website uses SSL or TLS encryption. This means that data that you transmit via this website cannot be read by third parties. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the "https://" address line of your browser and the lock symbol in the browser line.

- Browser type and browser version
- Operating system used
- referrer URL
- Host name of the accessing computer

This data is not merged with other data sources. Data processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO, which permits the processing of data for the fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual measures.
Data transfer at conclusion of contract for purchase of goods and dispatch of goods
Personal data will only be transmitted to third parties if necessary for the execution of the contract. Third parties can be, for example, payment service providers or logistics companies. A further transmission of the data will not take place or only if you have expressly consented to it.
The basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO, which permits the processing of data for the fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

Vimeo
For integration and display of video content our website uses plugins from Vimeo. The video portal is provided by Vimeo Inc. 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, USA.
When calling a page with an integrated Vimeo plugin, a connection to the Vimeo servers is established. This will tell Vimeo which of our pages you have visited.

The information collected by Vimeo is transmitted to servers of the video portal in the USA.
Vimeo can assign your surfing behaviour directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out beforehand.

As the operator of this website, we have a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies for the technically error-free and smooth provision of our services. If other cookies are set (e.g. for analysis functions), these are treated separately in this data protection declaration.

If you pay with PayPal, the payment data you have entered will be transmitted to PayPal.

instant bank transfer
Our website allows payment via "Sofortüberweisung." The provider of the payment service is Sofort GmbH, Theresienhöhe 12, 80339 Munich.
With the help of the "Sofortüberweisung" procedure, we receive a real-time payment confirmation from Sofort GmbH and can immediately begin to meet our liabilities.
When paying by "Sofortüberweisung", your PIN and TAN are transmitted to Sofort GmbH. The payment provider logs into your online banking account, automatically checks your account balance and makes the transfer. An immediate transaction confirmation follows. Your turnover, the credit limit of your overdraft facility and the existence of other accounts and their balances are also automatically checked after logging in.
In addition to PIN and TAN, the transmission to Sofort GmbH also includes payment data and personal data. Your personal data includes your first and last name, address, telephone number(s), email address, IP address and any other data necessary for payment processing. There is a need for this data transmission in order to establish your identity beyond any doubt and to prevent attempts at fraud.
Your data will be transmitted to Sofort GmbH on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO (consent) and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO (processing to fulfil a contract). A revocation of your already given consent is possible at any time. Data processing operations in the past remain effective in the event of a revocation.
