Privacy Policy
Basics
This privacy policy is intended to inform users of this website about the nature, scope and purpose of the collection and use of personal data by the website operator VR-Nation GmbH.
The website operator takes your privacy very seriously and treats your personal data confidentially and in accordance with legal regulations. Because new technologies and the ongoing development of this website may lead to changes in this privacy policy, we recommend that you review it periodically.
Definitions of the terms used (e.g. “personal data” or “processing”) can be found in Article 4 of the GDPR.
Access data
We, the website operator/provider, collect data about website access based on our legitimate interest (see Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR) and store this data as "server log files" on the website's server. The following data is logged:
- Visited website
- Time of access
- Amount of data sent in bytes
- Source/referrer from which you accessed this page
- Browser used
- Operating system used
- IP address used
Server log files are stored for a maximum of 7 days and then deleted. This data is stored for security reasons, for example, to investigate cases of misuse. If data needs to be retained as evidence, it will be excluded from deletion until the incident is fully resolved.
Audience measurement & cookies
This website uses cookies for pseudonymized audience measurement, which are transferred to the user's browser either from our server or a third-party server. Cookies are small files that are stored on your device. Your browser accesses these files. The use of cookies improves the user-friendliness and security of this website.
If you do not want cookies for audience measurement to be stored on your device, you can object to the use of these files here:
- Cookie opt-out page of the Network Advertising Initiative: http://optout.networkadvertising.org/?c=1#!/
- Cookie opt-out page of the US website: http://optout.aboutads.info/?c=2#!/
- Cookie opt-out page of the European website: http://optout.networkadvertising.org/?c=1#!/
Most browsers offer the option to disable cookies. Please note: Disabling cookies may prevent you from accessing all features of this website without limitations.
Collection and processing of personal data
The website operator collects, uses and shares your personal data only if this is permitted by law or if you consent to the data collection.
Personal data includes all information that can be used to identify you and that can be traced back to you – for example, your name, email address and telephone number.
You can visit this website without providing any personal information. However, to improve our online services, we store your access data to this website (without any personal reference). This access data includes, for example, the file you requested or the name of your internet provider. Because the data is anonymized, it is impossible to identify you personally.
We process personal data such as first name, last name, address, email address, and telephone number from the ordering process in compliance with applicable data protection regulations. The processing of this personal data is based on our legitimate interest in fulfilling our contractual obligations.
Handling of contact data
When you contact us as the website operator using the provided contact options, your information will be stored so that we can process and respond to your inquiry. This data will not be shared with third parties without your consent.
Handling comments and posts
If you leave a post or comment on this website, your IP address will be stored. This is done based on our legitimate interests within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR and serves our security as website operator: Should your comment violate applicable law, we could be held liable, which is why we have a legitimate interest in knowing the identity of the comment or post author.
Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA), based on our legitimate interests in optimizing and analyzing our online services in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Google Analytics uses cookies – text files that are stored on your device. The information collected by the cookies is generally transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the USA.
Google LLC complies with European data protection law and is certified under the Privacy Shield agreement: https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active
This website uses IP anonymization. Within the member states of the EU and the European Economic Area, and in other contracting states of the agreement, the IP address of users is shortened. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address initially transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. This shortening removes the personal reference from your IP address. The user's IP address transmitted by the browser is not combined with other data stored by Google.
Under the terms of the data processing agreement we, as website operators, have concluded with Google Inc., Google uses the collected information to create an evaluation of website usage and website activity and provides services related to internet usage.
The data collected by Google on our behalf is used to evaluate the use of our online services by individual users, e.g. to create reports on website activity in order to improve our online services.
You have the option to prevent cookies from being stored on your device by adjusting your browser settings accordingly. However, if your browser does not allow cookies, we cannot guarantee that you will be able to access all the functions of this website without restrictions.
Furthermore, you can prevent the information collected by cookies (including your IP address) from being sent to and used by Google Inc. by using a browser plugin. The following link will take you to the relevant plugin: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de
Alternatively, you can prevent Google Analytics from collecting data about you on this website by clicking this link (IMPORTANT: Insert opt-out link). Clicking the link above will download an "opt-out cookie." Your browser must therefore be configured to allow cookies. If you regularly delete your cookies, you will need to click the link again each time you visit this website.

Use of social media plugins from Facebook
Based on our legitimate interest in analyzing, optimizing, and operating our online services (within the meaning of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR), this website uses the Facebook social plugin, which is operated by Facebook Inc. (1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA). The plugins are recognizable by the Facebook logo or the terms "Like," "Share," or "Recommend" in Facebook's colors (blue and white).

Facebook Inc. complies with European data protection law and is certified under the Privacy Shield agreement: https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000GnywAAC&status=Active
The plugin establishes a direct connection between your browser and Facebook's servers. The website operator has no control over the nature and scope of the data that the plugin transmits to Facebook Inc.'s servers. You can find more information here: https://www.facebook.com/help/186325668085084
The plugin informs Facebook Inc. that you, as a user, have visited this website. It is possible that your IP address will be stored. If you are logged into your Facebook account while visiting this website, the aforementioned information will be linked to it.
If you use the plugin's features – for example, by sharing or "liking" a post – the corresponding information will also be transmitted to Facebook Inc.
