Data protection information VEGGYPOINT
Scope of application:
For the VEGGYPOINT apps, e.g. from the Apple Appstore as well as the website https://VeggyPoint.net (.eu/.de/.fr/.com).
Personal data in the context of contacting us
Your personal data (e.g. name, address, e-mail address, telephone number, etc.), which are transmitted by you, for example by contact form or e-mail, are only processed by us in accordance with the provisions of German and European data protection law. Data are personal if they can be clearly assigned to a specific natural person. The legal basis can be found in the European Data Protection Regulation (EU-DSGVO), the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and the German Telemedia Act (TMG). Also important are specific court decisions that can supplement the current legislation.
When using the contact form or receiving an e-mail, we only collect personal data to the extent provided by you. We only use the data you provide to process your enquiry. The processing of this data is thus based exclusively on your consent, which you can revoke at any time. For this purpose, an informal communication by e-mail to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing operations carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation. The data you have provided will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to store it or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies, e.g. after we have completed processing your enquiry. Mandatory legal provisions - in particular retention periods - remain unaffected. Your data will not be passed on to third parties without your consent.
Data processing when installing the VEGGYPOINT app

CloudFlare
VEGGYPOINT uses technology from CloudFlare Inc to protect the VEGGYPOINT platform and increase security and stability. For this purpose, CloudFlare and VEGGYPOINT set cookies and process and analyse other device and network data in order to distinguish legitimate VEGGYPOINT users from hackers, SPAMM and the like. Cloudflare processes the data exclusively on behalf of VEGGYPOINT and not for its own purposes. Further information on data protection at CloudFlare can be found at the following link: https://www.cloudflare.com/security-policy.
The legal basis is Art. 6 I lit. f DSGVO. VEGGYPOINT has a legitimate interest in keeping its platform stable and free from attacks, SPAM, legal violations and fake profiles.
Data deletion
With the active deletion of the user profile or corresponding notification to us, all collected data of the user will be deleted or anonymised. In addition, the user can delete individual data in the profile himself/herself at any time or request this from us via a corresponding notification.
Excluded from the deletion is data that must be retained due to legal regulations, for the execution of contracts or for the fulfilment of contracts with other users. In the event of deletion, VEGGYPOINT therefore does not delete the following data in particular immediately, but only after a period of time has expired:
- Payment data after the expiry of the statutory retention periods.
- Messages shared with other users in chats are deleted when both users have deleted their profiles.
If deletion is not possible, the data will be anonymised or blocked.
VEGGYPOINT reserves the right to check profile files before deletion and, if necessary, to back them up if, due to certain facts, there is a suspicion that the user profiles are being used by VEGGYPOINT in breach of the law or in breach of contract. This serves to protect the users of VEGGYPOINT's offers.
VEGGYPOINT creates backups to secure the data, which are each overwritten after 14 days and thus permanently deleted. If these backups contain log files, these are also deleted. In the event of the complete deletion of a user profile, the log files will also be deleted.
You can obtain information about the data we have stored about you free of charge and transparently at any time.
As a common format, we create a CSV file for this purpose, which can be read across platforms and is therefore also suitable in principle for transferring the data to another system.
Furthermore, you can object to the storage of your data and request a change or deletion if there are no legal or contractual requirements to the contrary.
If deletion is not permitted due to legal or contractual retention obligations, the data will be blocked until this obligation no longer exists.
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of personal data concerning you infringes the GDPR.
