Data protection at a glance
Who is responsible for data collection on this website? Data processing on this website is carried out by the website operator. You can find their contact details in the section “Information on the controller” in this privacy policy. How do we collect your data? Your data is collected, on the one hand, when you provide it to us, for example when you contact us by email, use the externally linked Contact form (Microsoft Forms), or use the externally linked appointment-booking service Microsoft Bookings. Other data is collected automatically by our hosting provider's IT systems when you visit the website. This is primarily technical data (e.g. IP address, internet browser, operating system, or time of the page request). What do we use your data for? The automatically collected technical data is used to provide the website securely and free of errors. Your user behaviour is not analysed. Data you send us by email, via the contact form, or via Microsoft Bookings is processed to handle your request and, where applicable, to initiate or perform a contract. What rights do you have regarding your data? You have the right to receive information about the origin, recipients, and purpose of your stored personal data free of charge at any time. You also have a right to request the correction or deletion of this data. If you have given consent to data processing, you can revoke this consent at any time for the future. You also have the right, under certain circumstances, to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. Furthermore, you have a right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.

The personal data collected on this website is stored on the host's servers. This may include, in particular, IP addresses, contact requests, meta and communication data, contact details, names, website accesses, and other data generated via a website. External hosting is carried out for the purpose of fulfilling contracts with our potential and existing customers (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) and in the interest of secure, fast, and efficient provision of our online offering by a professional provider (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Our host will only process your data to the extent necessary to fulfil its performance obligations and will follow our instructions regarding this data.
Hosting – Transfer to third countries (USA)
Our host, Railway Corporation, is based in the USA. Primary storage and processing of personal data take place in an EU region. Supplementary processing in the USA, in particular of metadata, logs, in the context of administrative access, and by subprocessors, is not excluded. Insofar as the respective recipient is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF), Railway bases the transfer on the adequacy decision of the European Commission pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR. For transfers not covered by an adequacy decision, Railway incorporates the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses pursuant to Art. 46(2)(c) GDPR into the data processing agreement. Further information can be found in Railway's data processing agreement (railway.com/legal/dpa); the list of subprocessors used is available in the Railway Trust Center (trust.railway.com).
Hosting – Data processing agreement
We have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) for the use of the above-mentioned service. This is a contract required under data protection law, which ensures that the provider processes the personal data of our website visitors only in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.
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 statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy. When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is data that can be used to identify you personally. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done. We point out that data transmission over the internet (e.g. when communicating by email) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.
Information on the controller
The controller responsible for data processing on this website is: VALOREAN GmbH Im Krautgarten 25 76870 Kandel Germany Email: hello@valorean.io Contact form The controller is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of processing personal data.
Storage duration
Unless a more specific storage period is stated within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for the data processing no longer applies. If you assert 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 takes place after these reasons cease to apply.
Legal bases for data processing
If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR. In the case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also carried out on the basis of Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR. Consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is required for the performance of a contract or for pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data where necessary to comply with a legal obligation on the basis of Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. Data processing may also be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
Recipients of personal data
In the course of our business activities, we work with various external parties. This sometimes also requires the transfer of personal data to these external parties. We only pass on personal data to external parties if this is necessary for the performance of a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g. passing data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in the transfer pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, or if another legal basis permits the data transfer. When using processors, we only pass on personal data on the basis of a valid data processing agreement.
Revocation of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke consent you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out up to the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)
If data processing is based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of your personal data; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data concerned unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims (objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR). If your personal data is processed for direct advertising purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for such advertising; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct advertising. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for direct advertising purposes (objection pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR).
Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority
In the event of breaches of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of their habitual residence, their place of work, or the place of the alleged breach. This right to complain exists without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.
Right to data portability
You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in performance of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.
Information, correction, and deletion
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing and, if applicable, a right to correction or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time regarding this and any further questions on the subject of personal data.
Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time to do so. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases: – If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. – If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion. – 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 the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion. – If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it has not been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data may – apart from being stored – only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims, or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a member state.
SSL/TLS encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as requests that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser's address line changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line. If SSL/TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Data collection on this website – Request by email
When you contact us by email, your request, including all resulting personal data (e.g. name, email address, content, and attachments), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. Microsoft processes this data as a processor for the technical provision of our email communication. Any transfer beyond this only takes place if there is a legal permission for it or if you have consented. The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of the requests addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if this was requested; consent can be revoked at any time. The data you send us by email will remain with us until you ask 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 dealt with). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.

In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in efficient appointment scheduling pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The data is deleted as soon as the purpose of its processing no longer applies and no statutory retention obligations conflict with this.
