VELUNO
PRIVACY & DATA
General
As the operator of this website and as a company, we come into contact with your personal data. This refers to all data that says something about you and with which you can be identified. In this privacy policy, we would like to explain to you how, for what purpose, and on what legal basis we process your data.
The following entity is responsible for data processing on this website and within our company:
VELUNO™ LLC
30 N Gould St Ste N
82801 Sheridan
United States
Phone: +1 (307) 533-6426
Email: support@veluno.us
General information
SSL or TLS encryption
When you enter your data on websites, place online orders, or send emails via the Internet, you must always expect that unauthorized third parties may access your data. There is no complete protection against such access. However, we make every effort to protect your data as best as possible and to close any security gaps to the extent that this is possible for us.
An important protective measure is the SSL or TLS encryption of our website, which ensures that data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties. You can recognize the encryption by the lock icon in front of the Internet address entered in your browser and by the fact that our Internet address begins with https:// and not with http://.
Encrypted payment transactions
Payment data, such as account or credit card numbers, are particularly sensitive. For this reason, we only use encrypted SSL or TLS connections for payment transactions using common payment methods.
How long do we store your data?
In some places in this privacy policy, we inform you about how long we or the companies that process your data on our behalf store your data. If no such information is provided, we will store your data until the purpose of the data processing no longer applies, you object to the data processing, or you revoke your consent to the data processing.
In the event of an objection or revocation, however, we may continue to process your data if at least one of the following conditions is met:
- We have compelling legitimate grounds for the continuation of data processing that outweigh your interests, rights, and freedoms (only in the event of an objection to data processing; if the objection is directed against direct marketing, we cannot cite any legitimate grounds).
- Data processing is necessary to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims (does not apply if your objection is directed against direct marketing).
- We are legally obliged to retain your data.
In this case, we will delete your data as soon as the condition(s) no longer apply.
Data transfer to the US
We also use tools from companies on our website that transfer your data to the US, where it is stored and, if necessary, further processed. The European Commission has adopted an adequacy decision for the EU-US data protection framework. This establishes that the US ensures an adequate level of protection for personal data from the EU that is transferred to US companies. This decision is based on new safeguards and measures introduced by the US to meet data protection requirements. The adequacy decision includes, among other things, restrictions and safeguards regarding access to the data by US intelligence services. Binding safeguards have been introduced to limit access by US intelligence services to what is necessary and proportionate to protect national security. In addition, enhanced oversight of the activities of US intelligence services has been established to ensure that restrictions on surveillance activities are respected. An independent redress mechanism has also been established to handle and resolve complaints from European citizens about access to their data. The EU-US data protection framework thus enables European companies to transfer data to certified US companies without having to introduce additional data protection safeguards. A list of all certified companies can be found at the following link: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/participant-search
A change in the European Commission's decision cannot be ruled out.
Your rights
Objection to data processing
IF YOU READ IN THIS DATA PROTECTION DECLARATION THAT WE HAVE LEGITIMATE INTERESTS IN PROCESSING YOUR DATA AND THEREFORE PROCESS IT IN ACCORDANCE WITH ART. 6 PARA. 1 SENTENCE 1 LIT. F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THIS IN ACCORDANCE WITH ART. 21 GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on the aforementioned provision. The prerequisite is that you provide reasons for the objection that arise from your particular situation. NO REASON IS REQUIRED IF THE OBJECTION IS DIRECTED AGAINST THE USE OF YOUR DATA FOR DIRECT MARKETING.
THE CONSEQUENCE OF OBJECTING IS THAT WE WILL NO LONGER BE ABLE TO PROCESS YOUR DATA. THIS DOES NOT APPLY IF ONE OF THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS IS MET:
- WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS.
- THE PROCESSING IS NECESSARY FOR THE ASSERTION, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS.
THE EXCEPTIONS DO NOT APPLY IF YOUR OBJECTION IS DIRECTED AGAINST DIRECT MARKETING OR AGAINST PROFILING RELATED TO THIS.
Further rights
Revocation of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are based on your consent. You give this consent, for example, by ticking the appropriate box on online forms before submitting them, or by allowing certain cookies when you visit our website. You can revoke your consent at any time without giving reasons (Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR). From the time of revocation, we will no longer be allowed to process your data. The only exception is if we are legally obliged to retain the data for a certain period of time. Such retention periods exist in particular in tax and commercial law.
Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority
If you believe that we are in breach of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in accordance with Art. 77 GDPR. You can contact a supervisory authority in the member state of your residence, your place of work, or the place where the alleged violation occurred. The right to lodge a complaint exists alongside administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to data portability
Data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract must be provided to you or a third party in a commonly used machine-readable format upon request. We can only transfer the data to another controller if this is technically possible.
Right to data access, erasure, and rectification
Pursuant to Art. 15 GDPR, you have the right to obtain information free of charge about which personal data we have stored about you, where the data comes from, to whom we transfer the data, and for what purpose it is stored. If the data is incorrect, you have the right to have it corrected (Art. 16 GDPR) and, under the conditions of Art. 17 GDPR, you may request that we delete the data.
In certain situations, you may request that we restrict the processing of your data in accordance with Art. 18 GDPR. In this case, the data may only be processed as follows, with the exception of storage:
- with your consent
- for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims
- to protect the rights of another natural or legal person
- for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a member state
The right to restriction of processing exists in the following situations:
- You have contested the accuracy of your personal data stored by us and we need time to verify this. In this case, the right applies for the duration of the review.
- The processing of your personal data is unjustified or was unlawful in the past. In this case, you have the right to have the data deleted.
- We no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend or assert legal claims. In this case, you have the right to have the data deleted.
Hosting and Content Delivery Networks (CDN)
External hosting
Our website is hosted on a server of the following Internet service provider (host):
SiteGround Spain S.L.
Calle Prim 19
28004 Madrid
Has a contract for order processing been concluded with the host or are standard contractual clauses (SCC) used?
Yes
How do we process your data?
The host stores all data from our website. This includes all personal data that is collected automatically or through your input. This may include, in particular: your IP address, pages visited, names, contact details and enquiries, as well as meta and communication data. When processing data, our hosting provider complies with our instructions and only processes the data to the extent necessary to fulfil its obligations to us.
On what legal basis do we process your data?
Since we use our website to address potential customers and maintain contact with existing customers, the data processing carried out by our host serves the purpose of contract initiation and fulfillment and is therefore based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR. Furthermore, it is our legitimate interest as a company to provide a professional website that meets the necessary requirements for security, speed, and efficiency. In this respect, we also process your data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.
Data collection on this website
Server log files
Server log files record all requests and accesses to our website and log error messages. They also include personal data, in particular your IP address. However, this is anonymized by the provider after a short period of time, so that we cannot assign the data to you personally. The data is automatically transmitted from your browser to our provider.
How do we process your data?
Our provider stores the server log files in order to be able to track activity on our website and identify errors. The files contain the following data:
- Browser type and version
- Operating system used
- Referrer URL
- Host name of the accessing computer
- Time of the server request
- IP address (anonymized if necessary)
We do not combine this data with other data, but use it solely for statistical analysis and to improve our website.
On what legal basis do we process your data?
We have a legitimate interest in ensuring that our website runs smoothly. It is also in our legitimate interest to obtain an anonymized overview of the access to our website. Data processing is therefore lawful in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.
Contact form
You can send us a message using the contact form on this website.
How do we process your data?
We store your message and the information from the form so that we can process your request, including any follow-up questions. This also applies to the contact details you provide. We will not pass on the data to other persons without your consent.
How long do we store your data?
We will delete your data as soon as one of the following occurs:
- Your request has been processed.
- You request us to delete the data.
- You revoke your consent to storage.
This does not apply if we are legally obliged to retain the data.
On what legal basis do we process your data?
If your request is related to our contractual relationship or serves the purpose of implementing pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. b) GDPR. In all other cases, it is in our legitimate interest to process requests addressed to us effectively. The legal basis for data processing is therefore Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of your data, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. In this case, you can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.
Enquiries by email, telephone or fax
You can send us a message by email or fax or give us a call.
How do we process your data?
We store your message and the contact details you have provided or the telephone number you have given us so that we can process your enquiry, including any follow-up questions. We will not pass on your data to other persons without your consent.
How long do we store your data?
We delete your data as soon as one of the following occurs:
- Your request has been processed.
- You request us to delete the data.
- You revoke your consent to storage.
This does not apply if we are legally obliged to retain the data.
On what legal basis do we process your data?
If your request is related to our contractual relationship or serves the purpose of implementing pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. b) GDPR. In all other cases, it is in our legitimate interest to process requests addressed to us effectively. The legal basis for data processing is therefore Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR.

Communication via WhatsApp
What is WhatsApp?
Instant messaging service
Who processes your data?
WhatsApp Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland
Where can you find more information about data protection at WhatsApp?
https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/#privacy-policy
On what basis do we transfer your data to the US?
Based on the adequacy decision of the European Commission and the corresponding certification of the company.
How do we process your data?
We use the instant messaging service WhatsApp in the “WhatsApp Business” version to communicate with our customers and other people outside our company.
Communication takes place via end-to-end encryption (peer-to-peer). This prevents WhatsApp or other third parties from accessing the content of the communication. We have also set up our accounts so that there is no automatic synchronization with the address book on the smartphones used. However, WhatsApp does have access to the metadata of the communication process (e.g. sender, recipient, and time of communication) and, according to its own statement, shares this data with Meta, its parent company based in the US.
We delete your data as soon as one of the following occurs:
- The purpose of data processing no longer applies.
- You request us to delete the data.
- You revoke your consent to storage.
This does not apply if we are legally obliged to retain the data.
On what legal basis do we process your data?
If our exchange via WhatsApp is related to our contractual relationship or serves the purpose of implementing pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. b) GDPR. In all other cases, it is our legitimate interest to process inquiries addressed to us effectively and to maintain business contact with other persons. The legal basis for data processing is therefore Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of your data, Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR is the legal basis. In this case, you can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.
Comment function
You have the option of commenting on content on our website via the corresponding input fields. To use the comment function, you must provide your email address. It is also possible to subscribe to comments made by others.
How do we process your data?
When you leave comments on our website, we store the following data:
- Your comment
- Your email address
- The time of the comment
- Other data that you provide when commenting, e.g., your user name
- Your IP address
We store data that can be used to identify you so that we can take legal action against you if your comment is offensive, inflammatory, or otherwise relevant under criminal law.
If you subscribe to comments, we will send you an email to verify that you are the owner of the email address provided. You can unsubscribe from receiving comments at any time via a link in this email.
How long do we store your data?
We store your comments and the associated data until the commented content has been completely deleted or the comments must be deleted for legal reasons, e.g. because they violate criminal law.
If you have subscribed to comments and unsubscribe from the notification, all data provided in connection with the subscription will be deleted. If we have stored your data for another reason, e.g. because you have subscribed to our newsletter, this data will not be affected by the deletion.
On what legal basis do we process your data?
By using the comment function, you consent to the storage of your data. The basis for data processing is therefore Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time by sending us an email stating your revocation. From this point on, we will no longer be allowed to process your data.
Analysis tools and advertising
We use the following tools to analyze the behavior of our website visitors and to show you advertising.
Matomo Analytics (locally installed)
How do we process your data?
We are always interested in optimizing our website for users and placing advertisements in the best possible way. Matomo Analytics, an open-source tool that analyzes user behavior and provides us with the necessary data for adjustments, helps us to do this. Matomo uses cookies, device fingerprinting, and other technologies that enable cross-page recognition of users to analyze user behavior. Matomo records page views, the region from which they originate, the IP address, referrers, browsers used, and operating systems. The tool can also measure whether our website visitors perform certain actions (e.g., click on links or make purchases). After anonymizing your IP address, the collected data is stored exclusively on our server.
On what legal basis do we process your data?
As a website operator, we have a legitimate interest in the anonymous analysis of user behavior for the purpose of optimizing our website and the advertising placed there. Data processing is therefore lawful under Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. If, for example, you have consented to the storage of cookies or otherwise consented to data processing, the sole legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.
Google Fonts (local hosting)
We use fonts from the US company Google on our website. We have installed the fonts locally so that no connection to Google's servers is made when you visit our website.
Further information about Google Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.
eCommerce and payment providers
Customer and contract data
How do we process your data?
When we enter into a contract with you, we require certain personal data from you. We collect, process, and use this data only to the extent necessary to establish our legal relationship, to define its content or to amend it. If you can only use our services via our website or if the services are billed via the website, we also collect usage data if this is necessary to enable you to use our offer or to bill you for the services used.
How long do we store your data?
We store your data until our legal relationship ends, unless we are legally obliged to store the data for longer.
On what legal basis do we process your data?
We store your data in order to fulfill the contract with you or to carry out pre-contractual measures. The basis for data processing is therefore Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.
Credit checks
For purchases on account or other payment methods where we make advance payments, we may carry out credit checks or scoring. In this case, we will transfer the necessary data entered for this purpose to credit agencies. The probability of payment defaults is determined on the basis of this data. In the event of an increased risk of default, we may refuse certain payment methods. This process is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR and as a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR in order to prevent payment defaults. If consent has been obtained, the credit check is carried out on the basis of this consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. GDPR; consent can be revoked at any time.
How long do we store your data?
We store your data until our legal relationship ends, unless we are legally obliged to store the data for longer.
On what legal basis do we process your data?
We store your data in order to fulfill the contract with you or to carry out pre-contractual measures. The basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.
Data transfer when using services and digital content
How do we process your data?
For the purpose of processing the payment, we transfer your data to a payment service or the credit institution responsible for processing the payment. We only pass on data that is absolutely necessary for the payment process. If we wish to pass on any further data, we will obtain your consent.
On what legal basis do we process your data?
We pass on your data in order to fulfill the contract we have concluded with you. The basis for data processing is therefore Art. 6 (1) lit. b) GDPR. If you have consented to the transfer of your data, the data processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.
Payment services
To enable you to pay for your purchases on our website conveniently, we use the services of payment service providers, i.e. external companies that process payments on our behalf. You can find out which specific companies these are in the list at the end of this section.
How do we process your data?
For the payment process, you must provide certain personal data, such as your name, account details, or credit card number. We pass this data on to the respective payment service provider. The respective contractual and data protection provisions of the respective services apply to the transaction itself.
On what legal basis do we process your data?
We pass on your data in order to fulfill the contract we have concluded with you. The basis for data processing is therefore Art. 6 (1) lit. b) GDPR. In addition, we have a legitimate interest in processing purchases as quickly, conveniently, and securely as possible. The legal basis in this respect is therefore also Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR. If you have consented to the transfer of your data, the data processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.

How do we process your data?
Online conference tools collect and store various personal data to enable participation in an online conference and ensure that it runs smoothly. In addition to registration, conference, and technical data, this also includes certain communication content.
- Registration data: Your email address and/or telephone number and, if applicable, other data that you provide when registering for the conference.li>
- Conference data: Start, end, and duration of your participation in the conference, the number of participants, and other metadata about the conference.li>

If we already have a contractual relationship with you or if you would like to enter into a contract with us, we use conference tools to fulfill the contract or to inform you about our services or products. Data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. b) GDPR. Otherwise, the use of conference tools serves the purpose of simple and fast communication, without which we would not be able to run our business efficiently. We therefore also have a legitimate interest in data processing in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR. Your consent may be another legal basis. In this case, Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR applies.

Own services / Miscellaneous
Handling of applicant data
If you would like to work for us, we would be happy to receive your application. We treat all personal data submitted to us as strictly confidential. This also applies to data that we collect later in the application process.
How do we process your data?
We store all data collected during the application process and use it to the extent necessary to decide whether to establish an employment relationship. In addition to contact and communication data and application documents, this also includes notes we make during job interviews. We only share your data within our company with people who are involved in processing your application. If your application is successful, we will store the data required for the employment relationship in our data processing systems.
If we are unable to offer you a suitable position at this time, we will be happy to add your data to our applicant pool with your consent. This will enable us to contact you if a position becomes available that matches your profile.
How long do we store your data?
If we are unable to offer you a position, you decline a job offer, or withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain your documents and other application data for up to six months after the end of the application process. The reason for this is that we may need the data for evidence purposes in the event of a legal dispute. After this period has expired, we will delete the data and destroy the documents. If a legal dispute is actually imminent or already pending, we will delete the data and documents if they are no longer required for evidence purposes.
We delete data in the applicant pool no later than two years after consent has been given. If you revoke your consent before this period expires, we will delete it earlier.
The deletion of your data always requires that we are not legally obliged to store it for longer.
On what legal basis do we process your data?
We process your applicant data on the basis of Section 26 of the new German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG-neu) (initiation of an employment relationship) and Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR (general contract initiation).
The same applies if your application is successful.
If we are unable to offer you a position, you decline a job offer, or withdraw your application, we have a legitimate interest in using your data for evidence purposes in any legal dispute. Data processing is therefore based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.
If you have expressly consented to the storage of your data, we will process your data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.
Data processing on social media
What is social media?
By social media, we mean the social networks on which we have created publicly accessible profiles. You can find out which social networks these are below.
Who processes your data?
The respective operating companies of the social networks. You can find the individual operators below for the respective networks.
How is your data processed?
Social network operators are generally able to collect and evaluate comprehensive data about the behavior of visitors and users of the network. We are unable to track all processing operations in the social networks we use, which means that further processing operations that are not listed here may be carried out by the operators of the social networks. You can find further information on this in the terms of use and privacy policies of the respective social networks.
The processing of your data may be triggered by visiting the social network's website or our profile page there. Even if you visit a website that uses certain content from the network, such as “Like” or “Share” buttons, data may already be transferred to the social network operator. If you are a user of the social network and are logged into your user account, your visit to our profile page may be associated with your account by the operator of the social network. Even if you have not registered for a user account or are not logged in, the operator of the network may still collect your personal data, e.g. by recording your IP address or setting cookies. With this data, the operators can create user profiles tailored to your behavior and interests and display interest-based advertising to you within and outside the network. If you are a registered user of the network, interest-based advertising may also be displayed on all devices on which you are or were logged in.
On what legal basis are your data processed?
Our profiles on social networks are intended to ensure that our company has as comprehensive a presence as possible on the Internet. We have a legitimate interest in this as a company. Data processing is therefore lawful in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
The data processing operations and analyses carried out by the social network operators themselves may be based on other legal grounds. These must be specified by the social network operators.
Who is responsible for processing your data and how can you exercise your rights?
When you visit one of our profiles on social networks, we are jointly responsible with the operator of the respective network for the data processing operations triggered during your visit. You can exercise your rights against both us and the operator of the respective network.
Despite our joint responsibility with the social network operators, our influence on the data processing operations of the respective operator is limited and primarily depends on the operator's specifications.
How long will your data be stored?
When we collect data via our social media profiles, it is deleted from our systems as soon as the purpose for its storage no longer applies, you request its deletion, or you revoke your consent to its storage. Stored cookies remain on your device until you delete them. Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.
We have no influence on how long the operators of social networks store your data that they collect for their own purposes. You can obtain information on this directly from the operator of the respective social network, e.g. in the respective privacy policy.
