Terms of Use Privacy

II. General information about data processing

The GDPR defines "personal data" as all information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person; an identifiable natural person is considered, who directly or indirectly can be identified via assignment to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, online identification or location data.

1. Scope of the processing of personal data
We only collect and use personal data of users who contact us. By using vimote, you communicate via internet with our servers. Our servers use information to generate a session and collect protocol information, so-called log files, within the scope of such usage. Recorded log files do not contain any personal data. In particular, IP addresses are anonymised by MD5 hashing. On the site www.vimote.tv anonymised IIS web logs are also stored. We only use log files for statistical purposes and to analyse errors. vimote may, in some cases, temporarily store the transferred video and thumbnail during its usage in order to facilitate the broadcast. If the video and data are saved, this data shall automatically be deleted as soon as "another video is selected", the "app is closed" or the "view session ends". Videos and thumbnails will not be reused by vimote. Videos and thumbnails will not be used by second or third parties.

2. Legal Basis for the processing of personal data
Insofar as we obtain the consent for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis. In the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a contract of which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR serves as legal basis. This also applies to processing operations required to carry out pre-contractual actions. Insofar as processing of personal data is required to fulfil a legal obligation that is subject to our company, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR serves as a legal basis. In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d GDPR serves as a legal basis. If processing is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of our company or a third party, and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not prevail over the first interest, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR serves as legal basis for processing. 3. Erasure and storage duration of data
The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of the storage is expired. Furthermore storage may take place if provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other regulations to which the controller is subject. Blocking or deletion of the data also takes place if a storage period prescribed by the standards mentioned expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for conclusion of a contract or fulfillment of the contract.
