Privacy Policy

We process personal data (hereinafter referred to as “data”) only to the extent necessary to provide a functional and user-friendly website, including its content and services.

According to Article 4(1) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), “processing” refers to any operation or set of operations performed on personal data, whether by automated means or not. This includes collecting, recording, organizing, structuring, storing, adapting, altering, retrieving, consulting, using, disclosing by transmission, disseminating, or otherwise making data available, aligning or combining, restricting, erasing, or destroying data.

With this privacy policy, we inform you about the type, scope, purpose, duration, and legal basis of data processing when we determine the purposes and means of processing, either alone or jointly with others. Additionally, we provide information on third-party components used for optimization and user experience enhancement, where these third parties process data under their own responsibility.

User Rights and Data Subject Rights

As a user and data subject, you have the following rights regarding the processing of your personal data:

  • Right to confirmation and access: You have the right to confirm whether your data is being processed, to request information about the data processed, and to receive copies of the data (Art. 15 GDPR).
  • Right to rectification: You may request the correction or completion of inaccurate or incomplete data (Art. 16 GDPR).
  • Right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”): You have the right to request the immediate deletion of your personal data, provided that further processing is not required under Art. 17(3) GDPR (Art. 17 GDPR). Alternatively, you may request the restriction of data processing under the conditions of Art. 18 GDPR.
  • Right to data portability: You have the right to receive your data in a structured, commonly used format and to have it transmitted to another controller (Art. 20 GDPR).
  • Right to file a complaint: If you believe that your data is being processed unlawfully, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR).

Additionally, we are obligated to inform all recipients to whom your data has been disclosed about any corrections, deletions, or processing restrictions in accordance with Articles 16, 17(1), and 18 GDPR, unless such notification is impossible or requires disproportionate effort. Users also have the right to be informed about these recipients.

Furthermore, under Art. 21 GDPR, you have the right to object to the future processing of your data, particularly for direct marketing purposes, when the data processing is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Collection, Processing, and Use of Personal Data

Access Data / Server Log Files

We automatically collect and store information that your browser transmits to us, including:

  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system used
  • Referrer URL (previously visited page)
  • Hostname of the accessing device (IP address)
  • Time of the server request
  • Amount of data transferred
  • Confirmation of successful retrieval

IP addresses are deleted or anonymized immediately after the session ends. Anonymization ensures that the data cannot be linked to a specific individual without disproportionate effort in terms of time, cost, and labor. The log file data is analyzed in an anonymized manner to enhance website functionality, improve user experience, and identify and fix errors. Additionally, the data is used to manage server capacities efficiently.

Contact Form

If you contact us via the contact form on our website or by emailing info@varan-bus.net, the data you provide will be stored for the purpose of processing your inquiry and addressing any follow-up questions. We do not share this data without your explicit consent.

Providing this data is necessary for us to process and respond to your inquiry—without it, we may not be able to address your request or may only be able to do so to a limited extent.

The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

Sharing Data with Third Parties

We only share collected data with third parties when necessary for contract execution, billing, or when you have explicitly consented to it. Any third parties receiving data from us are only permitted to use it to fulfill their designated tasks. These service providers are carefully selected, contractually bound, and regularly monitored by us. Any other use of your data by these third parties is not permitted and does not occur.

If you do not wish to allow cookies, you can configure your browser to notify you before cookies are set, allowing you to accept them on a case-by-case basis. However, disabling cookies may limit the functionality of our website.
