1. Collection of general information

When you access our website, information of a general nature is automatically collected. This information (server log files) includes the type of web browser, the operating system used, the domain name of your Internet service provider and the like. This is exclusively information that does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about your person. This information is technically necessary to correctly deliver the content of websites requested by you and is mandatory when using the Internet. Anonymous information of this kind is statistically evaluated by us to continuously optimize our website and its technical platform.

2. Cookies

Like many other websites, we also use so-called “cookies”. Cookies are small text files that are transferred from a website server to your hard drive. This automatically provides us with certain information such as your IP address, browser used, operating system about your computer, and your connection to the Internet.

Cookies cannot be used to launch programs or transmit viruses to a computer. The information contained in cookies allows us to make it easier for you to navigate and to enable the correct display of our websites.

Under no circumstances will the data we collect be passed on to third parties or linked to personal data without your consent.

Of course, you can also view our website without cookies. Internet browsers are regularly set to accept cookies. You can disable the use of cookies at any time through the settings of your browser. Please use the help functions of your internet browser to learn how to change these settings. Please note that individual features of our website may not work if you have disabled the use of cookies.

3. SSL Encryption

To protect the security of your data during transmission, we use state-of-the-art encryption methods (e.g. SSL) via HTTPS.

4. Complianz

This website uses the WordPress plugin “complianz” to manage consent to the use of cookies and external services. Complianz uses technically necessary cookies and similar web technologies to manage and store your consent.

The above cookies store your consents that you gave when you entered the website. If you want to revoke these consents, simply delete the corresponding cookies in your browser. When you re-enter/reload the website, you will be asked for your consent again. The specific storage period of the processed data cannot be influenced by us, but is determined by compliance. Currently, cookies are stored for a period of one year.

The legal basis for data processing is in accordance with art. 6 (1) lit. c) GDPR in conjunction with § 25 (1) TDDDG the legal requirement to ensure proper consent when visiting a website based on clear and comprehensive information. You can find more information about data processing by complianz in WordPress’ privacy policy: https://de.wordpress.org/about/privacy/.

5. Contact

If you contact us by e-mail or contact form, the information you provide will be processed by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and for possible follow-up questions. The legal basis for this is your consent in accordance with GDPR art. 6 (1) lit. a).

6. Legal basis for processing

The legal basis for processing operations in which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose is art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contractual relationship, art. 6 (1) lit. b) GDPR constitutes the necessary legal basis. If our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data, such as in tax law, the processing is based on art. 6 (1) lit. c) GDPR.

Under certain circumstances, the processing of personal data may become necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person. In this case, art. 6 (1) lit. d) GDPR would be the legal basis for the processing.

Processing operations may also be based on art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR. This is the case where the processing of your personal data by us is based on a legitimate interest of our company or a third party.

7. Deletion or blocking of data

We adhere to the principles of data avoidance and data economy. We therefore only store your personal data for as long as is necessary to achieve the purposes mentioned here or if the various storage periods provided for by the legislator provide. After the respective purpose has ceased to exist or these deadlines have expired, the corresponding data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.

8. Data protection for applications and in the application process

We collect and process the personal data of applicants for the purpose of handling the application process. This processing may also be carried out by electronic means. If the application process results in an employment contract with an applicant, we will store the data transmitted to us for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the legal regulations. If the application does not result in employment of the applicant, we will delete the application documents no later than three months after notification of the rejection to the applicant, provided that deletion does not conflict with other legitimate interests of our company.

9. Automated decision-making

We do not carry out any automatic decision-making or so-called “profiling” with your data processed by us.

10. Google Analytics

On our website, we use Google Analytics from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, as an analysis service for the statistical evaluation of our online offer. The processed data includes, for example, the number of visits to our online offer, subpages visited and the length of stay of visitors. Google Analytics uses cookies and other browser technologies to evaluate user behaviour and recognize users. This information is used, among other things, to compile reports on the activity of the website.

The use of Google Analytics is based on your consent in accordance with art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG.

When using Google Analytics, we cannot rule out the possibility that personal data may be transferred to third countries outside the EU/EEA – especially to the USA. The data transfer to the USA is carried out in accordance with art. 45 (1) GDPR based on the EU Commission’s adequacy decision (“EU-US Data Privacy Framework”). Google is certified according to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (EU-U.S. DPF).

If, under certain circumstances, there is no adequacy decision by the EU Commission (for Google as well as for its subcontractors, insofar as they are not themselves certified according to the EU-U.S. DPF), we have agreed with Google on other suitable guarantees within the meaning of art. 44 et seq. GDPR. Unless otherwise stated, these are the so-called “standard contractual clauses” of the EU Commission in accordance with Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/914 of 4 June 2021. A copy of these Standard Contractual Clauses can be viewed here: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/DE/TXT/HTML/?uri=CELEX:32021D0914&from=DE.

For the sake of good order, we would like to point out that despite the EU-US DPF, unknown risks may also exist in detail in the case of third-country transfers. Specifically, this may include, for example, data processing by US security authorities, the exact scope and consequences of which we do not know for you, over which we have no influence and of which you may not become aware.

The specific storage period of the data processed by you through Google Analytics cannot be influenced by us but is determined by Google. For more information, see Google’s privacy policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

11. Social Media

Please contact our data protection officer by sending an e-mail to datenschutz@apoplexmedical.com.

For a blocking of data to be considered at any time, this data must be kept in a blocking file for control purposes. You can also request the deletion of the data, if there is no legal obligation to archive. If such an obligation exists, we will block your data on request.

You have the right to revoke your consent to the processing of personal data at any time with effect for the future. The revocation of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out based on the consent before the revocation. You can make changes or revoke your consent by notifying us by e-mail to datenschutz@apoplexmedical.com with effect for the future.

We have a statutory comment period of four weeks for processing your request, which can be extended by a further four weeks in exceptional cases. We aim to process your request in full within the first four weeks after receipt of your request. Please note that due to statutory retention periods, we may still be obliged to store certain personal data of yours even after a request for deletion.

If you believe that the processing of personal data concerning you infringes the GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in the EU Member State of your residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement, without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.
