No cookies, tracking or third-party content
This website does not set cookies and does not use any tracking, analytics or advertising tools. We do not embed content from third parties (such as videos, maps or social media plug-ins). All fonts are hosted on our own server, so your browser does not connect to Google Fonts or any other third-party provider when you view this website.
The JavaScript on this website is used solely for visual effects and navigation. It does not collect or transmit any data.
Contact by email or phone
If you contact us by email or phone, we process the data you provide (for example your name, email address, phone number and the content of your message) in order to handle your enquiry and any follow-up questions.
Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR where your enquiry relates to the performance of a contract or to pre-contractual measures; otherwise Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, based on our legitimate interest in responding to enquiries addressed to us.
Our email is hosted by Proton AG, Switzerland. The European Commission has issued an adequacy decision for Switzerland, which confirms an adequate level of data protection.
We delete your data once it is no longer needed for the purpose for which it was collected, unless statutory retention obligations (for example under commercial or tax law) require us to keep it for longer.
External links
This website contains links to other websites, in particular:
- captilo.app and carbon.validag.com (our products)
- Google Play (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; parent company Google LLC, USA)
No data are transmitted to these sites simply by visiting validag.com. Only when you click a link does your browser connect to the respective site. From that point on, data processing is governed by the privacy policy of the respective provider.
Links to Google Play and to our products contain campaign parameters (UTM parameters) that identify validag.com as the source of the visit. These parameters contain no personal data.
How the Captilo app processes data is described in the Captilo privacy policy.
SSL/TLS encryption
For security reasons, this website uses SSL/TLS encryption (HTTPS). You can recognise an encrypted connection by “https://” in your browser’s address bar and the padlock symbol. With encryption enabled, data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Your rights
Under the GDPR, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:
- Access (Art. 15 GDPR) — to obtain information about the personal data we process about you.
- Rectification (Art. 16 GDPR) — to have inaccurate data corrected or incomplete data completed.
- Erasure (Art. 17 GDPR) — to have your data deleted, unless we are required to retain it.
- Restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR) — to have the processing of your data restricted.
- Data portability (Art. 20 GDPR) — to receive data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.
- Objection (Art. 21 GDPR) — see below.
- Withdrawal of consent (Art. 7(3) GDPR) — where processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw it at any time with effect for the future. This does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.
Right to object: where we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interests), you have the right to object to this processing at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation. We will then no longer process the data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
To exercise any of these rights, simply contact us at contact@validag.com.
Right to lodge a complaint: you have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. Our lead supervisory authority is the Commissioner for Personal Data Protection, Cyprus (www.dataprotection.gov.cy). You may also contact the supervisory authority in the EU member state of your habitual residence or place of work.
No automated decision-making
We do not use automated decision-making, including profiling, within the meaning of Art. 22 GDPR.
