The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations as well as this privacy policy. When you use this website, various personal data are collected. Personal data is data by which you can be personally identified. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done. We point out that data transmission on the internet (e.g., when communicating by e-mail) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data from access by third parties is not possible.
The responsible entity for data processing on this website is: VANOVATE GmbH Thüringer Straße 29 37269 Eschwege Phone: +491715596903 Email: contact@carmovia.com The responsible entity is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, email addresses, etc.).
Unless a specific storage period has been mentioned in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing ceases to apply. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial law retention periods); in the latter case, deletion will take place after these reasons cease to apply.
If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 Para. 2 lit. a GDPR if special categories of data according to Art. 9 Para. 1 GDPR are processed. In the event of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, the data processing is additionally based on Art. 49 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information on your end device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), the data processing is additionally based on § 25 Para. 1 TDDDG.

If your data is required for the fulfillment of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data insofar as this is necessary for the fulfillment of a legal obligation on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c GDPR. Data processing can also be based on our legitimate interest according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The specific legal bases applicable in each case are explained in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.
We use tools from companies based in third countries not deemed safe under data protection law as well as US tools whose providers are not certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these countries. We point out that no data protection level comparable to that of the EU can be guaranteed in unsafe third countries. However, we note that the USA is generally considered a safe third country if the recipient holds certification under the 'EU-US Data Privacy Framework' (DPF) or offers suitable additional guarantees. For information on transfers to third countries including data recipients, please refer to this privacy policy.
In the course of our business activities, we work with various external entities. In some cases, the transfer of personal data to these external entities is necessary. We only share personal data with external entities if it is required for contract fulfillment, if we are legally obligated to do so (e.g., sharing data with tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest under Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR, or if another legal basis permits the data transfer. When using processors, we share customer personal data only on the basis of a valid processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke any previously granted consent at any time. The legality of data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6 PARA. 1 LIT. E OR F GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME, FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RELEVANT LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OUTWEIGH YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS OR FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21 PARA. 1 GDPR). IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA FOR SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21 PARA. 2 GDPR).
In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, workplace, or the location of the alleged violation. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.
You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of data to another controller, this will only be done where it is technically feasible.
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. To do this, you can contact us at any time. The right to restrict processing exists in the following cases:
If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend, or assert legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
If you have objected under Article 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of your and our interests must be carried out. As long as it is not clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data – apart from its storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from 'http://' to 'https://' and by the lock symbol in your browser's address bar. When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
The use of contact data published as part of the legal notice obligation for sending unsolicited advertising and information materials is hereby objected to. The operators of the site expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited advertising information being sent, such as spam emails.

The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent to the storage of cookies and similar recognition technologies has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TTDSG); consent can be revoked at any time.

We offer you the opportunity to apply to us (e.g., by email, post, or through the online application form). Below we inform you about the scope, purpose, and use of your personal data collected during the application process. We assure you that the collection, processing, and use of your data is done in accordance with applicable data protection laws and other legal requirements, and your data will be treated with strict confidentiality.
If you send us an application, we process your associated personal data (e.g., contact and communication data, application documents, notes from interviews, etc.) to the extent necessary to decide on the establishment of an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is § 26 BDSG under German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO (general contract initiation), and – if you have given consent – Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO. The consent can be revoked at any time. Your personal data will be shared within our company only with those individuals involved in processing your application. If the application is successful, the data you submitted will be stored based on § 26 BDSG and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO for the purpose of executing the employment relationship in our data processing systems.
If we do not extend a job offer to you, you decline a job offer, or you withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you submitted based on our legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO) for up to 6 months after the conclusion of the application process (rejection or withdrawal). Afterward, the data will be deleted, and physical application documents will be destroyed. The retention is primarily for evidentiary purposes in case of legal disputes. If it becomes apparent that the data will be needed after the 6-month period (e.g., due to a pending or ongoing legal dispute), deletion will occur only when the purpose for further retention is no longer necessary. Longer retention may also occur if you have provided consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO) or if legal retention obligations prevent deletion.

We offer you the option to contact us via **WhatsApp Business**, for example through a WhatsApp button integrated on our website. The service provider is:
WhatsApp Ireland Limite
4 Grand Canal Square,
Grand Canal Harbour,
Dublin 2, Ireland
WhatsApp is used to enable quick and straightforward communication with (potential) business clients and service providers, based on our legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. This may include inquiries about transport services, quotes, or bookings.
When using the WhatsApp button or contacting us directly via WhatsApp, personal data (e.g., phone number, message content, metadata) will be transmitted to WhatsApp. WhatsApp processes this data as a **data processor** on our behalf according to Art. 28 GDPR. Processing is carried out solely based on our documented instructions and according to the current [WhatsApp Business Data Processing Terms](https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/business-data-processing_terms). Communication is **end-to-end encrypted**, but metadata (e.g., time, device used) may still be processed by WhatsApp. WhatsApp may share data with other companies within the Meta group. Please note that WhatsApp is a third-party provider located outside the EU (Meta Platforms Inc., USA). Therefore, personal data may be transferred to third countries. **WhatsApp guarantees appropriate safeguards in accordance with Art. 46 GDPR**, such as standard contractual clauses.
- Communication via WhatsApp is based on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent) or
- Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures) if your request relates to a specific business relationship.
- Additionally, we rely on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest) for using WhatsApp as an additional communication channel.
You have the right to request information, correction, or deletion of your data at any time and to object to the processing. For further information on data processing by WhatsApp, see [WhatsApp’s Privacy Policy](https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/privacy-policy-eea).
By communicating with us via WhatsApp, you consent to WhatsApp’s processing of your personal data (which may include transfers to third countries such as the USA). If you prefer not to use WhatsApp, you can contact us via email or our contact form instead.
