Privacy Policy

Thank you for visiting our website at www.vinylit.de and showing interest in our company. Protecting your personal data is very important to us. Personal data means information concerning personal or material circumstances that relate to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, their civil name, address, telephone number and date of birth, but also all other data that can be associated with an identifiable person.
Personal data enjoys special legal protection, so it is only collected by us to the extent that this is necessary in order to make our website available and provide our services. The following Privacy Policy explains which personal information we collect when you visit one of our web pages and how it is used by us.
Our data protection policy complies with current law, in particular the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG), the German Telemedia Act (TMG) and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We will only collect, process and store your personal data if it is necessary for the technical provision of this website and our contents and services, as well as for the processing of enquiries and, if applicable, for the fulfilment of orders/contracts, but only insofar as a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 point f) GDPR or another permissible circumstance exists. Your data will only be used for additional purposes with your consent. These purposes will be stated explicitly in connection with requesting your consent, e.g. if you want us to send you our newsletter with advertising information.
