1. Dealing with personal data
The website at www.IVS-Germany.com is an offer of service from International Visa Services Europe GmbH. On its website pages,
International Visa Services Europe GmbH informs customers and interested parties about the requirements for applying for a visa
for India.
The protection of the Applicant’s personal data when it is collected, processed and used during their visit to the website pages
of International Visa Services Europe GmbH is an important priority for us. The below section details what information International
Visa Services Europe GmbH collects during the Applicant or concerned party’s visit to the website, and how that information is further
used by International Visa Services Europe GmbH:
2. Data processing in connection with queries
The data such as emails address, name and other details provided by the Applicant/concerned party has given will be saved in a file or in an email program
and only used for the correspondence concerning the requested information.
3. Data processing in connection with visa applications
In accordance with the requirements specified by the Indian Embassy in Berlin, applying for a visa requires the mandatory filing of an online application
through the website https://indianvisaonline.gov.in/visa/, with subsequent submission of the hard copy application documents. In the
framework of the visa application process, therefore, the Applicant will be forwarded by International Visa Services Europe GmbH to the
Indian government's above-mentioned online application website.
Please note that the data entered and saved there is processed by the Indian government for the granting of the visa, and that
International Visa Services Europe GmbH has no influence on the data processing by the Indian government and is not responsible for that data
processing by the Indian government.
Please note that the data entered and saved there is processed by the Indian government for the granting of the visa, and that
International Visa Services Europe GmbH has no influence on the data processing by the Indian government and is not responsible
for that data processing by the Indian government.
Insofar as in the framework of the visa application International Visa Services Europe GmbH collects, saves or uses personal data
itself, this is only done insofar as is necessary for the processing of the visa application and for the rendering of our other
services and the performance of contractual obligations entered into with the Embassy/Consulate. Accordingly, data is only passed
on to third parties insofar as International Visa Services Europe GmbH's service partners (e.g. SMS provider and courier services)
or to the Indian Embassy or respective Consulate, if it requires the data to process the application. In such cases, however,
the scope of the data transmitted is limited to the necessary minimum; in the case of the Indian Embassy or Consulate, therefore,
in particular to the data already asked for on its website (https://indianvisaonline.gov.in/visa/) as well as the documents
and papers (passports, etc.) additionally made available by the Applicant.
Otherwise, passing the Applicant’s personal data on to third parties, selling it to third parties or transmitting it to third parties in another way is excluded, unless International Visa Services Europe GmbH is obliged by law or by a court decision to pass the data on, or if passing the data on is necessary for the pursuit of claims and criminal-law prosecution in the event of attacks on International Visa Services Europe GmbH's IT infrastructure.

5. Right to information, revocation and deletion
The Applicant has the right to revoke consent to usage of his/her personal data at any time with effect for future applications. Deletion of the personal data takes place when the Applicant declares to International Visa Services Europe GmbH that he/she has revoked their consent to storage, when knowledge of that data is no longer required for fulfillment of the purpose pursued with the storage, or if storage of the data is impermissible for other legal reasons.
