3. Cookies

The Filteria.de - Medizinischer Handel Jürgen Single website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are placed and stored on a computer system via a web browser.

Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain what is known as a cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier for the cookie. It consists of a string of characters that allows websites and servers to associate the cookie with the specific web browser in which it was stored. This enables the visited websites and servers to distinguish the data subject’s individual browser from other web browsers that contain different cookies. A specific web browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID.

By using cookies, Filteria.de - Medizinischer Handel Jürgen Single can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without setting cookies.

Cookies allow us to optimize the information and offerings on our website to better serve the user’s needs. As as already mentioned, to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, a user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter their login credentials every time they visit the website, because this information is retrieved from the website and the cookie stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is the shopping cart cookie in an online store. The online store uses a cookie to remember the items a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart.

The data subject can prevent our website from setting cookies at any time by adjusting the settings of the web browser being used, thereby permanently objecting to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via a web browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common web browsers. If the data subject disables cookies in the web browser they are using, not all functions of our website may be fully available.

4. Collection of General Data and Information

The Filteria.de – Medizinischer Handel Jürgen Single website collects a range of general data and information each time a data subject or an automated system accesses the website. This general data and information is stored in the server’s log files. The following may be collected: (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrer), (4) the subpages on our website accessed via the accessing system, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an Internet Protocol (IP) address, (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) other similar data and information used for security purposes in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using this general data and information, Filteria.de – Medizinischer Handel Jürgen Single does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is required to (1) correctly deliver the content of our website, (2) to optimize the content of our website and the advertising on it, (3) to ensure the ongoing functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in the event of a cyberattack. This anonymously collected data and information is therefore evaluated by Filteria.de - Medizinischer Handel Jürgen Single both for statistical purposes and with the aim of enhancing data protection and data security within our company, ultimately to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data from the server log files is stored separately from any personal data provided by a data subject.

5. Registration on Our Website

The data subject has the option to register on the data controller’s website by providing personal data. The specific personal data transmitted to the data controller in this process is determined by the respective input form used for registration. The personal data entered by the data subject is collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the data controller and for its own purposes. The data controller may arrange for the transfer of such data to one or more processors, such as a package delivery service, who also uses the personal data exclusively for internal purposes attributable to the data controller.

When registering on the data controller’s website, the IP address assigned to the data subject by the Internet service provider (ISP) is stored, along with the date and time of registration. This data is stored because it is the only way to prevent misuse of our services, and this data enables us to investigate criminal offenses if necessary. In this respect, the storage of this data is necessary to protect the data controller. This data is generally not disclosed to third parties, unless there is a legal obligation to do so or the disclosure serves the purposes of criminal prosecution.

The data subject’s registration, which involves the voluntary provision of personal data, enables the data controller to offer the data subject content or services that, by their very nature, can only be made available to registered users. Registered users are free to to modify the personal data provided during registration at any time or to have it completely deleted from the data controller’s database.

When subscribing to the newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) to the computer system used by the data subject at the time of registration, as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary to be able to trace any (potential) misuse of a data subject’s email address at a later date and therefore serves to provide legal protection for the data controller.

The personal data collected in connection with a newsletter subscription is used exclusively for sending our newsletter. Furthermore, newsletter subscribers may be informed by email if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or for registration related to it, such as in the event of changes to the newsletter offering or alterations to the technical conditions.

The consent to the storage of personal data that the data subject has provided to us for the purpose of sending the newsletter may be revoked at any time.

This personal data is not disclosed to third parties. Data subjects are entitled at any time to revoke the separate declaration of consent provided via the double-opt-inprocedure.

17. Legal Basis for Processing

Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis for our company’s processing operations in which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party—as is the case, for example, with processing operations required for the delivery of goods or the provision of other services or consideration—then the processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) b of the GDPR. The same applies to processing operations necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, such as in cases of inquiries regarding our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data—such as to fulfill tax obligations— then the processing is based on Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured on our premises and, as a result, their name, age, health insurance information, or other vital information had to be disclosed to a doctor, a hospital, or other third parties. In such cases, the processing would be based on Article 6(1)(d) of the GDPR. Finally, processing operations may be based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. This legal basis applies to processing operations not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases, if the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights, and fundamental freedoms of the data subject do not take precedence. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they were specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this regard, the legislator took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47, Sentence 2 of the GDPR).

18. Legitimate interests in processing pursued by the controller or a third party

If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, our legitimate interest is the conduct of our business activities for the benefit of all our employees and shareholders.

19. Period for which personal data is stored

The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. Upon expiration of this period, the relevant data is routinely deleted, provided it is no longer necessary for the performance of a contract or for entering into a contract.

20. Legal or contractual requirements for the provision of personal data; necessity for the conclusion of a contract; obligation of the data subject to provide personal data; possible consequences of failure to provide data

We hereby inform you that the provision of personal data is in some cases required by law (e.g., tax regulations) or may also result from contractual provisions (e.g., information about the contracting party). In some cases, it may be necessary for a data subject to provide us with personal data in order to conclude a contract, which we must then process. For example, the data subject is obligated to provide us with personal data when our company enters into a contract with them. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before providing personal data, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee will explain to the data subject, on a case-by-case basis, whether the provision of personal data is required by law or contract, or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract; whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data; and what the consequences of failing to provide the personal data would be.

21. Automated Decision-Making

The data is processed for the purpose of receiving, assigning, processing, and documenting your notice of withdrawal. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, insofar as the processing is necessary for the performance or termination of a contract. To the extent that statutory documentation or evidence requirements exist, the processing is based on Art. 6(1)(c) of the GDPR. To the extent that we process data for technical security, record-keeping, or to defend against or assert claims, this is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the secure provision of the revocation function, the proper processing of revocations, and the ability to verify receipt of a revocation notice

Providing this information is voluntary and is not required to exercise your right of withdrawal; it has no impact on the processing of your withdrawal. Please do not enter any health data or other particularly sensitive information in this field.

The data will be stored for as long as necessary to process and document the cancellation. It will then be deleted, provided that no statutory retention periods or legitimate interests in retaining evidence preclude this.

The data will not be disclosed to third parties, except to the extent necessary for the technical operation of the website, sending emails, processing the revocation, or due to legal obligations.
