Data privacy policy

Thank you for your interest in our company. Data protection is a significant aspect for the management of Visa-Navigator.com. The Internet pages of Visa-Navigator.com can be used in general without the need to provide personal data. If a person interested in our services makes a specific request to our company, it might be necessary to process his or her personal data.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a data subject shall always be in line with the Data privacy policy and the legal provisions concerning the Visa-Navigator.com. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.

With this statement, Visa-Navigator.com aims to inform the users about the nature, scope and purpose of the personal data collected, used and processed by us. Furthermore, the intention is to inform the persons concerned about the rights to which they are entitled. This statement is based on the applicable country-specific data protection regulations. Visa-Navigator.com, the operator of the Visa-Navigator.com website, has implemented various technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website.

Nevertheless, Internet data transmissions can always be subject to security vulnerabilities, so that complete protection cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, every person concerned is free to provide the personal data to us by alternative means, such as by telephone.

The data protection regulations of König Tours GmbH & Co. KG are based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

The Internet pages of Visa-Navigator.com use cookies. Cookies are text files that are placed and stored on a computer system via an Internet browser.

Numerous Internet pages and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string of characters by which Internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the visited Internet pages and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific internet browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID.

Through the use of cookies, the Visa-Navigator.com can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.

By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized in terms of the user. Cookies enable us, as already mentioned, to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter his or her access data each time he or she visits the website, because this is handled by the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online store. The online store uses a cookie to remember the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of an appropriate setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.

The Data Subject visits the website of the Visa-Navigator.com. In doing so, a series of general data and information is automatically stored in the server's log files. The collected data may include the IP address, the browser type, the date and time of the server request, the website from which the file was requested or the last file visited.

- (1) browser types and versions used

- (2) the operating system used by the accessing system

- (3) the website from which an accessing system arrives at our website (so-called referrer)

- (4) the sub-websites which are accessed via an accessing system on our website

- (5) the date and time of access to the website

- (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address)

- (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system and

- (8) other similar data and information that serve to avert danger in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

No Data Subject can be identified through the use of this general data and information from the Visa-Navigator.com. Rather, this information is used to

- (1) to provide the contents of our website correctly

- (2) to optimize the content of our website and the advertising for it

- (3) to ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, as well as

- (4) to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber attack.

Therefore, the Visa-Navigator.com analyzes anonymously collected data and information on the one hand for statistical purposes and on the other hand for asessment purposes.

The aim is to increase the data protection and data security of our company, so that ultimately an optimal level of protection is ensured for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from any personal data provided by a Data Subject.

The Data Subject has the possibility to register on the website of the Company which is responsible for the processing by providing personal data. The personal data transmitted to the company during registration is indicated in the corresponding input mask.

The personal data entered by the Data Subject will be collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the Controller and for the Controller's own purposes. The person responsible for processing the data may cause it to be passed on to one or more processors, for example a parcel service provider, who will also only use the personal data for an internal use attributable to the controller.

When logging in to the website of the controller, the IP address of the internet service provider of the data subject, the date and time of logging in are also stored. This data is stored in order to prevent misuse of our services and to solve criminal offenses, if necessary. The storage of this data is therefore necessary to secure the controller. A dissemination of these data to third parties is fundamentally not carried out, except if there is a legal obligation to do so or if the dissemination serves the purpose of advancing law enforcement.

The entry of the data subject's personal data takes place on a voluntary basis and serves the controller to offer the data subject content or services which, due to the nature of the matter, are only accessible to registered users.

Persons who have registered may, at any time, have the personal data they provided during registration changed or completely deleted from the controller's database.

The controller will provide any person concerned with information about what personal data is stored about that person at any time upon request. In addition, the controller shall correct or delete personal data at the request or indication of the Data Subject, provided that there are no legal retention obligations to the contrary. All employees responsible for processing are available to the Data Subject as contact persons regarding this subject.

In accordance with legal regulations, the website of the Visa-Navigator.com contains information that enables our company to be contacted quickly by electronic means and to communicate directly with us. This includes a general electronic mail address (e-mail address).When a person contacts the controller by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data provided by the Data Subject will be stored automatically.The personal data provided by a Data Subject to the controller, which is on a voluntary basis, will be stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the Data Subject. This personal data will not be disclosed to third parties.

The controller processes and stores personal data of the Data Subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or where provided for by the European Directive and Regulation or other legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.

If the storage purpose ceases to apply or if a storage period prescribed by the European Directive and Regulation or another competent legislator expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.

a) Right to confirmation

Every Data Subject has the right granted by the European Directive and Regulation to obtain from the Controller information as to whether personal data concerning him or her are being processed. If a Data Subject wishes to exercise this right of access, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the Controller.

b) Right of access

Any Data Subject providing the personal data has the right, granted by the European Directive and Regulation, to obtain at any time information about the personal data stored about him or her from the Controller. In addition, the European Directives and Regulations legislator has provided the Data Subject with information on the following subjects:

the purposes of processing; the categories of personal data processed; the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, in particular in the case of recipients in third countries or international organizations; if possible, the planned duration for which the personal data will be stored or, if this is not possible, the criteria for determining this duration; the existence of a right to obtain the rectification or erasure of personal data concerning him or her, or the restriction of processing by the Controller, or a right to object to such processing; the existence of a right of appeal to a supervisory authority; if the personal data are not collected from the Data Subject: any available information on the origin of the data; the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, as provided for in Article 22(1) and (4) of the GDPR and, at least in these cases, meaningful information about the logic involved and the implications and intended effects of such processing for the Data Subject.

Furthermore, the Data Subject has a right to know whether personal data has been transferred to a third country or to an international organization. In this case, the Data Subject also has the right to obtain information about the appropriate guarantees provided for the transfer.

If a Data Subject wishes to take advantage of this right of access, he or she may, at any time, contact an employee of the Controller.

c) Right to rectification

Processed personal data must be corrected if they are inaccurate. Furthermore, the Data Subject has the right to request the rectification of incomplete or inaccurate personal data - taking into account the purposes of the processing - by means of a supplementary declaration.

If a Data Subject wishes to exercise this right of rectification, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the Controller.

d) Right to erasure (right to be deleted)

Any person who is affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European Directives and Regulations, to obtain from the Controller the erasure without delay of personal data concerning him or her. If one of the following grounds applies and provided that the processing is not necessary:

- The personal data were collected or otherwise processed for such purposes for which they are no longer necessary.

- Data Subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) DS-GVO and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or Data Subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(2) DS-GVO.

The personal data were collected or otherwise processed for such purposes for which they are no longer necessary. Data subject withdraws consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR and there is no other legal basis for the processing. Data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) DS-GVO and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR. Personal data have been processed unlawfully. Erasure of the personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the Controller is subject. Personal data has been collected in relation to information society services provided pursuant to Article 8(1) of the GDPR.

If one of the aforementioned reasons applies, and a Data Subject wishes to request the erasure of personal data stored by the König Tours GmbH & Co. KG, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the Controller. The employee of König Tours GmbH & Co. KG shall arrange for the deletion request to be complied with immediately.

The processing is unlawful, the Data Subject objects to the erasure of the Personal Data and requests instead the restriction of the use of the Personal Data. The Controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but the Data Subject needs them for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims. The Data Subject has objected to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR and it is not yet clear whether the legitimate grounds of the Controller override those of the Data Subject.

If one of the aforementioned conditions is met, and a Data Subject wishes to request the restriction of personal data stored by the König Tours GmbH & Co. KG, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller. The employee of the König Tours GmbH & Co. KG will arrange the restriction of the processing.

This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

König Tours GmbH & Co. KG shall no longer process the personal data in the event of the objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the Data Subject, or for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims.

If the König Tours GmbH & Co. KG personal data for direct marketing purposes, the Data Subject shall have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her for such marketing. This also applies to the profiling, insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to König Tours GmbH & Co.

h) Automated decisions in individual cases, including profiling

Any Data Subject concerned by the processing of personal data shall have the right, granted by the European Directive and the Regulation, not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her or similarly significantly affects him or her, unless the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is permitted by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and that law contains suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or (3) is based on the Data Subject's explicit consent.

If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or the fulfilment of, a contract between the Data Subject and the responsible person, or (2) it is made with the explicit consent of the Data Subject, the König Tours GmbH & Co. KG shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms as well as the legitimate interests of the Data Subject, which include at least the right to obtain the intervention of a data subject on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and to contest the decision.

The Controller has integrated components of the company Facebook on this website. Facebook is a social network.

A social network is a social meeting place operated on the Internet, an online community that generally allows users to communicate and interact with each other in virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for sharing opinions and experiences or enables the Internet community to provide personal or company-related information. Facebook allows users of the social network to create private profiles, upload photos and network via friend requests, among other things.

The operating company of Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. If a data subject lives outside the USA or Canada, the controller of personal data is Facebook Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

By each call of one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) has been integrated. If the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Facebook component to download a representation of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook. A complete overview of all Facebook plug-ins can be found at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=de_DE. Within the scope of this technical procedure, Facebook receives knowledge of which specific subpage of our website is visited by the Data Subject.

If the Data Subject is logged in to Facebook at the same time, Facebook recognizes which specific subpage of our website the Data Subject is visiting each time the Data Subject calls up our website and for the entire duration of the respective stay on our website. This information is collected by the Facebook component and assigned by Facebook to the respective Facebook account of the data subject. If the data subject activates one of the Facebook buttons integrated on our website, including the "Like" button, or if the data subject makes a comment, Facebook assigns this information to the personal Facebook user account of the Data Subject and stores this personal data.

Facebook always receives information via the Facebook component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is logged into Facebook at the same time as calling up our website; this takes place regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Facebook component or not. If the data subject does not want this information to be transmitted to Facebook, he or she can prevent the transmission by logging out of his or her Facebook account before accessing our website.

The data policy published by Facebook, which can be accessed at https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by Facebook. It also explains which setting options Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the data subject. In addition, various applications are available that make it possible to suppress data transmission to Facebook. Such applications can be used by the data subject to suppress data transmission to Facebook.

The Controller has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymization function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analysis service. Web analysis is the collection, compilation and analysis of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analysis service collects, among other things, data on which website a data subject came to a website from (so-called referrers), which subpages of the website were accessed or how often and for how long a subpage was viewed. A web analysis is predominantly used for the optimization of a website and for the cost-benefit analysis of internet advertising.

The operating company of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

The Controller uses the addition "_gat._anonymizeIp" for web analysis via Google Analytics. By means of this addition, the IP address of the Internet connection of the data subject is shortened and anonymized by Google if access to our Internet pages is from a member state of the European Union or from another state party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze the flow of visitors to our website. Google uses the data and information obtained, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports for us showing the activities on our website, and to provide other services related to the use of our website.

Google Analytics sets a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are has already been explained above. By setting the cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the use of our website. By each call of one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically caused by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. As part of this technical process, Google obtains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which Google uses, among other things, to track the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently enable commission calculations.

By means of the cookie, personal information, for example the access time, the location from which an access originated and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject, is stored. Each time the data subject visits our website, this personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected via the technical procedure to third parties.

The Data Subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as already described above, at any time by means of an appropriate setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, the Data Subject has the option to object to the collection of data generated by Google Analytics and related to the use of this website as well as to the processing of this data by Google and to prevent such processing. For this purpose, the Data Subject must download and install a browser add-on under the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information regarding visits to Internet pages may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered by Google as an objection. If the data subject's information technology system is deleted, formatted or reinstalled at a later point in time, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on in order to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the data subject or another person within the data subject's sphere of control, it is possible to reinstall or reactivate the browser add-on.

You can also disable tracking with Google Analytics on this page in the current browser by clicking the following link: Disable Tracking

Further information and the applicable Google privacy policy can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and at http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html. Google Analytics is explained in more detail at this link https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/.

The Controller has integrated Google Remarketing services on this website. Google Remarketing is a function of Google AdWords that allows a company to display advertisements to Internet users who have previously visited the company's website. The integration of Google Remarketing thus allows a company to create user-related advertising and consequently to display interest-relevant advertisements to the Internet user.

The operating company of the Google Remarketing services is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

The purpose of Google Remarketing is the display of interest-relevant advertising. Google Remarketing enables us to display advertisements via the Google advertising network or to have them displayed on other websites, which are tailored to the individual needs and interests of Internet users.

Google Remarketing sets a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are has already been explained above. By setting the cookie, Google is enabled to recognize the visitor to our website when the visitor subsequently visits websites that are also members of the Google advertising network. Each time a website is accessed on which the Google Remarketing service has been integrated, the Internet browser of the person concerned automatically identifies itself to Google. Within the scope of this technical procedure, Google obtains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address or the user's surfing behavior, which Google uses, among other things, to display interest-relevant advertising.

By means of the cookie, personal information, including the Internet pages visited by the Data Subject, is stored. Each time the data subject visits our website, personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the Data Subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected via the technical procedure to third parties.

The Data Subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as already described above, at any time by means of an appropriate setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the Data Subject. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, the Data Subject has the option to object to interest-based advertising by Google. To do this, the Data Subject must call up the link www.google.de/settings/ads from any of the internet browsers used by him/her and make the desired settings there.

Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.
