Summary of Terms and Principles
Vision Marketing observes applicable privacy and data protection law in the markets we serve when processing personal data. This includes US States’ privacy laws, EU and UK General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR"), GDPR variations in the European Economic Area, and other data protection law as required.
Generally, personal data are data that can be directly or indirectly traced back to, and identify, a natural person, commonly referred to as a "data subject."
Personal data processing can refer to anything we might do with personal data, such as collecting, recording, organizing, structuring, storing, updating, or modifying, retrieving, consulting, using, providing by transmission, distributing, making available, aligning, combining, shielding, deleting, or destroying.
Vision Marketing observes core principles when processing personal data. The data:
- are processed lawfully, properly, and transparently;
- are processed only for the purpose for which they were collected (purpose limitation);
- are processed as little as possible (data minimization);
- are processed correctly (accuracy of data);
- will not be kept longer than necessary (storage and retention limitation);
- are transferred internationally under applicable international regulations;
- are processed with safeguards in technical and organizational controls to address security, integrity, and confidentiality; and
- are processed in systems, programs and services with privacy and security by design.
Collection And Processing
Vision Marketing may be a personal Data Controller or a personal Data Processor, or both, depending upon the nature of the processing and the commercial relationship associated with that processing. A data controller, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of the relevant personal data. A data processor processes the relevant personal data based on the instructions of the data controller. In applicable data protection law, Vision Marketing may be a Data Discloser (Data Exporter) or a Data Receiver (Data Importer). A discloser/exporter sends personal data to a receiver/importer for processing or onward transfer for processing. A processor receives personal data for processing or onward transfer for processing.

- choice and control;
- if the processing is necessary for the performance of an agreement to which you are a party, or to take measures at your request prior to the conclusion of an agreement;

In principle, we will not charge you for request processing, unless your requests are excessive, manifestly unfounded or if you request additional copies when exercising your right of access, and charges are subject to applicable data protection law.

Cookie Notice: Cookies And Tracking Technologies
Vision Marketing uses cookies and tracking technologies on our websites.
In this Cookie Notice, we inform you about our cookies practices, a listing of cookies that are always enabled and others that are enabled after consent, their purpose and details such as classification, provider/domain, and retention period before expiry.
Cookies are small pieces of information that are stored on your computer to provide control for current functions while browsing our websites, for recognition of preferences on subsequent visits to our websites, and for third-party features.
We use some cookies as strictly necessary components of our websites. We use other cookies in functional, analytical, and marketing categories only when you provide consent directly with myConsentChoice or when your browser provides preference information to myConsentChoice in the browser session.
You will be prompted with the myConsentChoice when visiting our websites. You can accept or reject all optional cookies or manage preferences within the consent manager. You can change your preferences to grant or withdraw consent at any time.

Monthly deletions for expired cookies and tracking technologies are processed automatically.
Google Processing
If you have given your consent, Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager, a web analysis service of Google Ireland Limited (“Google”) is then enabled on our websites. The use includes the “Universal Analytics” operating mode. This makes it possible to assign data, sessions, and interactions across multiple devices to a pseudonymous user ID and then analyse activities across devices.
Google may transfer to and process consent-granted personal data in the United States. However, as IP anonymisation (IP masking) is activated on our websites, your IP address will be shortened by Google in advance within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states per the Agreement on the European Economic Area. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of our use of Google Analytics is not combined with other data from Google. Further information on terms of use and data protection can be found at https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html or https://policies.google.com/?hl=en.
Purposes of Google Processing
Google will use personal data provided to evaluate your use of our websites, to compile reports on website activity and other services related to website use.
Legal Basis of Google Processing
Consent is the legal basis for Google Analytics.
Recipients or Categories of Recipients
Google is the recipient of the collected data and is an independent controller.
You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by Google by downloading and installing the Browser Add-on. Opt-out cookies will prevent future collection of your data when you visit our website. To prevent Universal Analytics from collecting data across different devices, you must opt-out on all systems used. If you click here, the opt-out cookie will be set: Disable Google Analytics.
Third Parties and International Transfers
Vision Marketing may engage third parties who process personal data as part of our Platform or Services. These third-party sub-processors act on our instruction under contract and under the same purposes and lawful bases set out in this privacy statement. These may be:
- (government) organizations;
- service providers; or
- contractors/suppliers, including but not limited to suppliers of IT services.
Vision Marketing remains accountable for personal data processing of our sub-processors as described in the Privacy Notice and under applicable data protection law.
We enter service agreements that include data processing addendums. The addendums include requirements of US States, EU standard contractual clauses (SCC), UK international data transfer agreements or addendums (IDTA) or other contractual clauses and schedules as required by applicable data protection law.
The third party is a joint controller if we and the third party jointly define the purposes and means of processing. The third party is an independent controller if the third party defines the purposes and means of processing separately from us. The controller distinctions can vary depending upon data protection processing purposes and processing activities.
International Transfers
Vision Marketing may conduct business internationally. We may need to transfer your personal data to third parties established outside of designated areas of applicable data protection law, such as transfers outside the European Economic Area as described in the GDPR.
All international data transfers are subject to applicable data protection law. We follow the guidance and directives of those regulations, including the use of adequacy decisions by competent data protection supervisory authorities, SCCs, IDTAs and other contractual measures, and industry accepted technical and organisational measures. We have measures that apply across all processing and ones tailored for distinct personal data processing purposes and processing activities. We will only transfer your personal data if an appropriate level of protection is in place.
Specifically for international data transfers from other countries to the USA, we follow applicable data protection law such as the March 2022 Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework between the EU and USA, and the related UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, and Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (Swiss-U.S. DPF), after the invalidation of EU-US Privacy Shield.
