III General information on data processing

1. scope of processing of personal data

In principle, you can visit us without telling us who you are. When you visit our website, your browser automatically transmits various data, see below “IV. Provision of the website and creation of log files”. This information is evaluated for purely statistical purposes and then deleted. Our services are reserved for adult visitors.

Personal data is only collected on our website if you provide it to us voluntarily (e.g. by contacting us using the contact form). We use this data exclusively for the purposes stated in each case, as listed below.

External service providers who process personal data for us, so-called contract processors, are bound by contract in accordance with Art. 28 DSGVO. The contract processors have been carefully selected by us, specifically commissioned and are bound by our instructions. States outside the European Union/European Economic Area are designated as third countries by the DSGVO and regulate the transfer to these countries separately in accordance with Art. 44 to 49 DSGVO. In some cases, we make use of contract processors in third countries and call these third countries in the following. For the USA, the EU Commission has determined the adequacy of the data protection level there pursuant to Art. 44 para. 3 DSGVO for the EU-US Privacy Shield (C(2016) 4176 final). Our contract processors in the USA are certified according to this standard.

We maintain current technical measures to ensure the protection of personal data. These are always adapted to the current state of the art.

2. legal basis for the processing of personal data

If we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data.

Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data required for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.

Pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f), the processing of personal data is also lawful if it is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of the data controller or of a third party, unless the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require the protection of personal data predominate, in particular if the data subject is a child.

3. data erasure and storage period

The personal data of the person concerned will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. In addition, the data may be stored if the European or national legislator has provided for this in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the person responsible is subject. The data shall also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless it is necessary for further storage of the data for the conclusion or performance of a contract.

IV. Provision of the website and creation of log files

1. description and scope of data processing

Each time you access our website, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the accessing computer.

The following data is collected:

1. information about the browser type, language and version used
2. the operating system of the user
3. the Internet service provider of the user
4. the IP address of the user
5. date and time/time zone of access
6. content of the request (concrete page)
7. access status/http status code
8. websites from which the user’s system accesses our website
9. websites accessed by the user’s system via our website
10. amount of data transferred

The data is also stored in the log files of our system. These data are not stored together with other personal data of the user. However, in the event of an error in an interface query, we additionally log the ID (pseudonymous identification), the IP address and the relevant http query, if used, the e-mail of the requesting user to enable later error analysis and troubleshooting.

2. legal basis for data processing

Insofar as our log files involve the processing of personal data, the legal basis is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b, lit. f DSGVO.

3. purpose of data processing

The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO in order to enable delivery of the website to the user’s computer. For this purpose, the IP address of the user must remain stored for the duration of the IP address. The repeated automated reading of the web pages (so-called scraping) is also made more difficult by recording the IP address. The storage of the data in the event of an error is necessary within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO in order to ensure the functionality of the website.

4. duration of storage

The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. In the case of the IP address, this is shortened, i.e. anonymised, when the respective session has ended. The data will then no longer contain any personal references. All log files are periodically deleted.

5. objection and removal possibility

The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is mandatory for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no possibility for the user to object.

V. Use of cookies

1. description and scope of data processing

The websites use so-called cookies in several places. They serve to make our offer more user-friendly and effective. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer by your browser. Some of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies”, which are automatically deleted when you close your browser. In addition, there are some long-lived cookies which we use to recognize you as a visitor. Cookies do not damage your computer and do not contain viruses. If you do not wish the cookies to be installed, you can deactivate the acceptance of cookies in your browser. However, we would like to point out that if you deactivate cookies, you may not be able to use our website to its full extent.

The user data collected in this way is pseudonymised by technical precautions. Therefore it is not possible to assign the data to the calling user as a person. The data will not be stored together with other personal data of the user, unless otherwise described below.

The first time a user accesses our website, information banners inform them about the use of cookies and refer them to this data protection declaration. This also includes an indication of how the storage of cookies in the browser settings can be prevented.

The following data is stored and transmitted in the technically necessary cookies:

1. language settings

2. contact information: E-mail address, first and last name, gender, SessionID (no password)

In this way the following data can be transmitted:

1. search terms entered
2. frequency of page views
3. use of website functions

We use the following third-party providers to analyze user behavior:

Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”), as part of an order processing and at an appropriate level of data protection (see above on EU-US Privacy Shield). Google Analytics also uses cookies to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) will generally be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. We activate IP anonymisation by adding the code “gat._anonymizeIp();” to the web pages so that your IP address is previously shortened by Google within EU/EEA member states (so-called IP masking). Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On our behalf, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website (including the Optimize function for A/B testing, i.e. response to various displays on the website), to compile reports on website activity for us and to provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf. Information obtained by Google from interest-related advertising and third parties (e.g. demographic characteristics, gender and interests) may be collected in cookie information.

For more information about Google, please visit http://www.google.com/intl/de/analytics/privacyoverview.html (general information about Google Analytics and privacy). Google offers an add-on for web browsers that may prevent Google Analytics from collecting and processing this information. The add-on can be downloaded and installed at your own risk at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

This website also uses Google Analytics for a cross-device analysis of visitor flows when selling goods, which is carried out via a user ID. You can deactivate the cross-device analysis of your use in your medimops customer account under “Personal settings” “Data protection setting User ID”.

1. Google Adwords to draw attention to our attractive offers with the help of advertising material (so-called Google Adwords) on external websites. The advertising media are delivered by Google via so-called “AdServers”. For this purpose we use AdServer-Cookies, by which certain parameters can be measured to measure success, such as display of ads or clicks by users. If you access our website via a Google ad, Google Adwords stores a cookie on your device. The unique cookie ID, number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), last impression (relevant for post-view conversions) and opt-out information (marking that the user does not wish to be addressed) are usually stored as analysis values for this cookie. These cookies allow Google to recognize your browser. If a user visits certain pages of an AdWords customer’s website and the cookie stored on their computer has not yet expired, Google and the customer may recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was directed to that page. Each AdWords user receives a different cookie. This means that cookies cannot be tracked through AdWords users’ websites. AdWords users do not receive any personal data. Further information on data protection at Google can be found at https://www.google.com/policies/?hl=de. Users can also deactivate or object to Google ads in whole or in part at https://privacy.google.com/?hl=de#google-experience (opt-out).

2. legal basis for data processing

Insofar as our use of cookies involves the processing of personal data, the legal basis is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b, lit. f DSGVO.

3. purpose of data processing

The purpose of using technically necessary cookies in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b DSGVO is to simplify the use of websites for users. Some functions of our website cannot be offered without the use of cookies. For these it is necessary that the browser is recognized also after a page change.

The user data collected by technically necessary cookies are not used to create user profiles.

When processing further cookies, our legitimate interest lies in the processing of personal data in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DSGVO:

The analysis cookies are used for the purpose of improving the quality of our website and its contents. The analysis cookies tell us how the website is used and enable us to continually optimise our services. We recognise which advertising measures led to visits to our websites (so-called conversion tracking). In relation to the data of the advertising campaigns, we can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are. In doing so, we pursue the interest of displaying advertising to you that is of interest to you, of making our website more interesting and easier for you, and of achieving a fair calculation of advertising costs.

4. duration of storage

Cookies are stored on the user’s computer and transmitted to our site by the user. Therefore, you as a user have full control over the use of cookies. You can deactivate or restrict the transmission of cookies by changing the settings in your Internet browser. Cookies that have already been saved can be deleted at any time. This can also be done automatically. If cookies are deactivated for our website, it is possible that all functions of the website can no longer be used to their full extent (see “technically necessary cookies” above).

The duration of cookie storage is indicated above. Otherwise, these are set indefinitely until you delete the memory in the browser.

5. objection and removal possibility

You can deactivate or restrict the processing of cookies by the service providers used by us using the links mentioned above. In addition, you can use the preference management of the “yourchoices” self-commitment for interest-based advertising: http://www.youronlinechoices.com/de/praferenzmanagement/

The objection applies as long as the associated OptOut cookie is not deleted. This cookie is set for the domain, per browser and per user of a computer. Therefore, if you access our website from multiple devices and browsers, you must separately and again opt out of data collection on each of these devices and browsers.

VI. contact form and email contact

1. description and scope of data processing

On our website there is a contact form which can be used for electronic contact. If a user makes use of this possibility, the data entered in the input mask will be transmitted to us and stored. The message and an e-mail address of the user are required. Further data is optional:

The supervisory authority to which the complaint was submitted will inform the complainant of the status and outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy under Art. 78 DSGVO.

VIII. Validity of this data protection declaration

We reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy from time to time. The current version is available from our website.
