Data Protection Notice

Data processing at Veni-Vidi(e.g. collection, processing, transfer) is performed in accordance with the law. The personal information needed from you for business transactions is stored by us and transferred to service providers contracted by Veni-Vidi the extent necessary to process the transactions.

Scope

This data protection notice applies to the website, domain, social media platforms and applications belonging to Veni-Vidi. It does not apply to the websites of Veni-Vidi that, for example, have amended data protection and legal notices due to national legislation. Therefore, please note the respective data protection and legal notices of all Veni-Vidi you visit or platforms you use.

In some cases, Veni-Vidi website also contains links to websites of third-party, Veni-Vidi external companies to which this data protection and legal notice does not apply.

General Data Protection Standard

When you visit Veni-Vidi website, data may be collected which may, in some cases, be of a personal nature. In this notice, we point out what personal information Veni-Vidi collects during your visit to our website, and how we handle this data.

We consider the protection of your personal information a very serious matter. Our processing of your personal information collected during your visit to our websites is carried out fully in accordance with the relevant legal stipulations. In addition, our approach to dealing with personal information is based on the EU data protection principles which provide for the greatest possible degree of transparency, observance of the right to choose, access rights and the transmission and lawful processing of personal information.

Every Veni-Vidi company complies with the data protection laws which are applicable in its own particular case. In addition, the handling of personal information is specified in a company directive for all Veni-Vidi companies. This Data Protection policy serves to ensure that your data is processed properly and in compliance with the applicable laws at the Veni-Vidi companies which handle personal information. At the same time, we have instructed our employees to refer to and comply with our data protection rules wherever personal information is requested on any website.

To the extent legally permissible and with due regard for your legitimate interests in excluding the transmission or use of information, we may forward your address and creditworthiness data to, or request this data from, credit agencies in order to run credit checks for orders. For orders paid for by invoice, we use address data in addition to other creditworthiness data to estimate the risk of payment defaults in individual cases. Veni-Vidi generally provides its customers with the option of using insecure payment methods (e.g. paying by invoice, credit purchases).  Veni-Vidi has a justified interest in protecting itself against payment defaults. This is usually done by checking the customer’s creditworthiness before offering the option of using an insecure payment method. For credit checks, Veni-Vidi is entitled to use negative creditworthiness information about the customer.

Creditworthiness information pertains to information about outstanding payments and information which provides direct indication that the customer is at risk of defaulting on his or her payment (e.g. bankruptcy, debt counseling, deferrals due to inability to pay). Veni-Vidi also monitors information about exceedingly atypical orders (e.g. simultaneous orders for multiple items with the same delivery address placed using same or different customer accounts). This is intended to prevent the occurrence of payment defaults and to protect our customers against having their identities used for fraudulent purposes.

Furthermore, Veni-Vidi is permitted to collect and process address and order information for its own marketing purposes. This means, for example, that Veni-Vidi may use email addresses collected during order processes in its MailChimp email address lists in order to send an email containing product information, promotions, or company news to the owner of the address. MailChimp is not permitted, however, to use the email address for any purpose other than allowing an email campaign with the stored email address list. Information is sent to third party for advertising purposes only in cases where it is legally permissible to do so.

Compliance with Legal Regulations

Veni-Vidi and its products, services and technologies are subject to the export regulations of various countries, including those of the European Union and its members states and those of the United States. You acknowledge that Veni-Vidi is required, per applicable export regulations, trade sanctions, and embargos, to take measures to prevent companies, organizations, and parties named in sanction party lists from acquiring certain products, technologies, and services through Veni-Vidiwebsites or delivery channels controlled by Veni-Vidi These measures may include the following:
