Privacy Policy

This privacy policy informs you as a user of our website and our offers about the nature, scope and purpose of the collection and use of personal data.

We expressly point out that data transmission on the Internet (e.g. when communicating via e-mail) has security gaps and cannot be completely protected from access by third parties.

This privacy policy is currently valid and has the status February 2021. Due to the further development of our website and offers or due to changed legal or regulatory requirements, it may become necessary to change this privacy policy.

Disclosure of data to third parties and third party providers

We comply with the legal requirements. Data is only passed on to third parties within the scope of the statutory provisions.

Data processing on our website

General information

Integration of third-party services and content

We may use third-party services within our website to, for example, integrate external media, perform analyses, etc. This is always done on a legal basis, such as on the basis of our legitimate interests (e.g. our interest in the analysis, optimization and economical operation of our website) within the meaning of Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. f GDPR or - if this is necessary in individual cases - on the basis of your previously given consent pursuant to Article 6 sec. 1 lit. a GDPR.

Such services generally require that the third-party providers perceive the IP address of the users, since they could not send the corresponding content to the browser without the IP address. The IP address is required for the presentation of such content. We try to only use services whose respective providers only use the IP address for the delivery of the content. Some providers also use so-called “pixel tags” (invisible graphics, also known as "web beacons") for statistical or marketing purposes. The "pixel tags" can be used to evaluate information such as visitor traffic on the pages of this website. The pseudonymous information may also be stored in cookies on the user's device and may include, among other things, technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, visiting time and other information on the use of our online offer, as well as being linked to such information from other sources.

For more information on which services are actually used on this site and how data is processed within their framework, as well as the relevant legal basis, please refer to the explanations on the respective services in the further course of this data protection declaration.

Types of data processed

On our website, we collect and process inventory data (e.g. names, addresses), contact data (e.g. e-mail addresses, telephone numbers, fax numbers, postal address), usage data (e.g. websites visited, links clicked, interest in content, access times, access locations), content data (e.g. comments, text entries, photos, videos) and measurement and communication data (e.g. device information, browser information, IP addresses).

Categories of data subjects

The persons affected by the processing of personal data are all visitors and users of our website.

Purpose of processing

We collect and process the personal data of users of our website in order to communicate with and inform them (e.g., contact and other inquiries), to perform statistics, reach measurement and analysis (e.g., with marketing and analysis tools), so that we can better design and optimize content and functions, to technically manage and optimize the website and to close security gaps.

Legal bases for the processing of personal data

We only process personal data if we have a legal basis to do so. In the following, we will identify the legal bases in question individually in the context of the respective data processing operations. In general, we are always entitled to process personal data, if the person concerned has given its consent (see Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. a, Art. 7 GDPR) if we are obliged to fulfil contractual or pre-contractual obligations (see Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. b GDPR) if we have to fulfil other legal obligations (see Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. c GDPR) or if we safeguard our legitimate interests (see Art. Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. f GDPR).

Recipients of personal data

We may transfer personal data to processors or other third parties (e.g. hosting agencies, etc.) with whom we cooperate. We are entitled to do this if the data subject has consented to this (see Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. a, Art. 7 DSGVO), if we thereby fulfill contractual or pre-contractual obligations (see Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. b DSGVO), if we thereby fulfill a legal obligation (see Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. c DSGVO) or if we safeguard our legitimate interests (see Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. f DSGVO). We conclude a so-called data processing agreement with data processors in accordance with Art. 28 DSGVO, according to which they also undertake to comply with the rules of data protection.

Hosting

This website is hosted on the servers of the Mittwald CM Service GmbH & Co. KG. The hosting services we use are intended to provide the following services: infrastructure and platform services, computing capacity, storage space and database services, security services and technical maintenance services that we use for the purpose of operating this website. The legal basis for the use of the hosting services is the safeguarding of our legitimate interests in the analysis, optimization and economical and safe operation of our website (see Art. 6 sec. 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR). In doing so, we, or our hosting provider, process inventory data, contact data, content data, contract data, usage data, meta and communication data from all users of this website on the basis of this. We have concluded corresponding order data processing contracts with our hosting providers.

Access Data / Server-Logfiles

Based on our legitimate interest under Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. f GDPR, we collect data about every access to our website (so-called web server log files). The data processed includes IP address, time of retrieval, type of request, protocol, HTTP status, referer, browser type and version, operating system, and the message of successful retrieval. The data are used for statistical evaluations for the purpose of operation, safety and optimization of the offer. The data will be stored for security reasons (e.g. for the investigation of abuse cases) for a period of up to 60 days.

The IP address is stored anonymously only. If a longer retention is required for evidence purposes, these will be deleted after the final clarification of the matter.

Cookies

Furthermore, when you use our website, cookies may be stored on your computer. Cookies are small text files that make it possible to store specific information related to the device on the user's access device (PC, smartphone, other devices). They serve the user-friendliness of websites (e.g. storage of login data), the collection of statistical data of the use of the website and for analysis in order to improve the website. Cookies cannot run programs or transmit viruses to your computer.

You can prevent the storage of all or only certain cookies by setting your browser accordingly in the security settings. Cookies that have already been saved can be deleted in the browser. In these cases, however, the use of the website may be restricted.

This website may use the following types of cookies:

  • Transient (temporary) cookies
  • Persistent (permanent) cookies

Transient cookies are automatically deleted when you close or log out of the browser. This includes, in particular, session cookies. These store a so-called session ID, which can be used to assign various requests from your browser to the common session. This allows your computer to be recognized when you return to our website.

Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a predetermined duration, which may vary depending on the cookie. You can delete the cookies in your browser's security settings at any time.

Both types of cookies may come from us (then "first-party cookies") or from third-party providers ("third-party cookies").

Such cookies, which enable the safe functioning of the website in the first place and such cookies, which only record the general usage behavior statistically (e.g. access to the website at all and the time of access), without merging user data across websites, without using external servers or services and without establishing traceability, we use on the basis of our legitimate interest in a secure and functional provision of the website as well as for statistical purposes to optimize our website in accordance with Article 6 sec. 1 lit. f GDPR.

The use of other cookies is based exclusively on your previously given consent in accordance with Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. a GDPR. Such cookies are usually used to optimize our offer as well as to develop and optimize individual marketing measures. You can give your consents for the cookies and tools in question voluntarily when you first visit our website. You can change your decision at any time on our website.

Deactivation/opposition to cookies:

In general, you can object to the use of cookies for range measurement and advertising purposes via the deactivation page of the network advertising initiative (http://optout.networkadvertising.org/) and additionally the US website (http://www.aboutads.info/choices) or the European website (http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices/).

Furthermore, the storage of cookies can be prevented by setting this in the security settings of your browser. However, you may then not be able to use all the functions of this website.
These options apply to all cookies listed below that we use for this website.

MyFonts Counter

On this website, we use the web-based design service MyFonts from the service provider Monotype Imaging Holdings Inc, 600 Unicorn Park Drive, Woburn, MA 01801, USA (“MyFonts”). We use it to optimise the texts and backgrounds (so-called "fonts") displayed on the site so that they are always presented to you in a legible and attractive manner. This works in such a way that your browser loads the fonts required for the presentation into your browser cache. On the basis of our contractual relationship, MyFonts is entitled to remuneration which is calculated on the basis of the number of hits on the website with said fonts. For this reason, we are contractually obliged to include a so-called tracking pixel on the website. This is a one-pixel image file that is stored on the website itself. This pixel-code collects the IP addresses of the visitors in order to count the number of different accesses (“hits”). The data is processed by MyFonts together with an anonymised project number and the page URL for the purpose of counting. For details of what MyFonts does with the data, please see their privacy policy at: https://www.monotype.com/de/rechtshinweise/datenschutzrichtlinie/datenschutzrichtlinie-zum-tracking-von-webschriften.

eTracker

We use the service etracker Analytics of etracker GmbH, Erste Brunnenstraße 1, 20459 Hamburg, Imprint: https://www.etracker.com/impressum/ (hereinafter referred to as "etracker").
Here you can find FAQ from etracker regarding the GDPR: https://www.etracker.com/docs/faq/eu-dsgvo/.
The privacy policy of etracker can be found here: https://www.etracker.com/datenschutz/.
We have concluded a corresponding data processing contract with etracker.

We use etracker Analytics on the basis of our legitimate interest under Art. 6 sec. 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR, in this case in the interest to evaluate our website and improve it for you as a user. As standard, etracker Analytics does not use cookies, but records the visiting behavior (using purely technical parameters, such as the abbreviated address or the browser used) within a session (visit to the website) by means of cookieless session tracking. A hash value (combination of characters from which the original data cannot be derived) is generated by means of a fingerprinting procedure from purely technical data (such as the abbreviated IP address or the browser used), to which the date of the page call is added, in order to make a conclusion on the identity of the user even less likely. This value is automatically deleted every 24 hours. Within 24 hours, this fingerprint allows to analyze user behavior.

You can object to the data processing here at any time: disable tracking

In addition to the etracker Analytics, we use on our website the etracker Optimiser add-on from etracker with A/Btesting (further information: https://www.etracker.com/docs/bedienung/etracker-optimiser/testing-targeting/a-b-testing-smart-messages/), Overlay Messaging (further information: https://www.etracker.com/docs/videos/etracker-optimiser/smart-messages/), Remarketing Feed (further information: https://www.etracker.com/docs/data-services/remarketing-feed/) as well as access to user profiles in real time.

Google Analytics

We use the web-tracking tool Google Analytics (https://marketingplatform.google.com/intl/de/about/analytics/) of the company Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, imprint: https://www.google.de/intl/de/contact/impressum.html.

The parent company of this Irish-based company is: Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (hereinafter referred to as "Google").

We only use Google Analytics if you have given us your express consent (Art. 49 sec. 1 lit. a GDPR) via the cookie settings of our website (Consent Tool). With your consent, your data will then be transferred not only to Ireland but also to the USA and thus to an unsafe third country. There currently are no EU adequacy decision or any other appropriate guarantees for the US. The protection of your data cannot be guaranteed in the destination country USA. There is currently no equivalent level of data protection in the US. Therefore, the transmission is associated with corresponding risks. In particular, there are no guarantees regarding the failure of access to your transferred data by public authorities. For example it cannot be ruled out that US authorities may access your data on the basis of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA; a law that governs the United States' foreign intelligence and counter-espionage services). In this context, we expressly point out that you, as an EU citizen, do not have an effective legal protection against the processing of your data by US authorities on the basis of FISA. If you give your consent, you do so in the knowledge of these risks, which you consciously accept as a result. You can revoke your consent at any time by means of the cookie settings within this privacy policy, in which you only accept essential cookies.

Cookie settings


Furthermore, we would like to point out that you can prevent the storage of cookies at any time by setting your browser appropriately. Further information in this context we have compiled, with regard to the most common browsers, below, but point out that this may limit the functionality of our website.

You can also download a browser add-on to disable Google Analytics at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de. By installing the add-on, you prevent the collection and processing of the data collected by the cookie by Google. If you have given your consent and the storage of cookies in your browser is not prevented, your use of the website is analyzed by means of Google Analytics by the use of cookies. In this respect, we have concluded a corresponding data processing contract with the company Google. In general, the information generated by the cookies is transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the USA. We use Google Analytics with a code extension to ensure that your IP address is only processed in a truncated manner and that rough localization is possible, but that the connection of the data to a person cannot be made. It is possible to merge the IP address transmitted by your browser with other data from Google, e.g. with data from your Google account. We would like to point out that the data processing is mainly carried out by Google and not all data is anonymous. In addition, Google may link to other data on your part, such as the search history, personal accounts, usage data and any other data that Google has about you.

Here you can find information about your Google Account privacy settings: https://safety.google/intl/de/privacy/privacy-controls/.

With privacy settings, you can decide for yourself what data is stored in your Google Account. In individual cases, the unabridged (and therefore not anonymised) IP address is transmitted to the USA and truncated accordingly. Google uses the data provided to evaluate the use of the website, so that we have access to relevant statistics (e.g. about the activities on the website). Google itself uses this data for its own purposes, such as profiling. In addition to Google, this data is also accessed by public authorities.

We also use Google Analytics to analyze visitor flows across devices via a user ID. In addition, google can link to the usage data of other devices. In order to prevent cross-device capture by Universal Analytics, it is necessary to perform the opt-out on all devices with which you have accessed our website.

Facebook/Meta Conversion Tracking | Facebook/Meta Pixel

We integrate a Facebook pixel of the company Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland (Imprint: https://www.facebook.com/terms) on our website. This is a so-called tracking pixel or counting pixel, meaning a small graphic file that is automatically reloaded when a website is called up and thus enables tracking of user behaviour.

The data policy of the company Facebook Ireland Limited can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy. The parent company of this Irish-based company is: Meta Platforms, Inc. (formerly Facebook, Inc.), 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA.

We only use the Facebook Pixel if you have given us your express consent (Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO) to do so via the cookie settings of our website (Consent Tool). With your consent, your data will then be transferred not only to Ireland but also to the USA and thus to an unsafe third country. For the USA, there is currently neither an EU adequacy decision nor are there any other suitable guarantees. The protection of your data cannot be guaranteed in the destination country USA. In the USA, there is currently no level of data protection equivalent to that in the EU. Therefore, the transfer is associated with corresponding risks. In particular, there are no guarantees that your transmitted data will not be accessed by government authorities. For example, it cannot be ruled out that US authorities may access your data on the basis of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA for short). In this context, we expressly point out that as an EU citizen you have no effective legal protection against the processing of your data by US authorities on the basis of FISA. If you give your consent, you do so in the knowledge of these risks, which you thereby also consciously accept.

You can revoke your consent at any time using the cookie-settings within this privacy policy by accepting only essential cookies.

Cookie settings


Provided you have given your consent and the storage of cookies in your browser is not prevented, the Facebook pixel enables us to measure the effectiveness of our advertising in the form of conversion. With the Facebook pixel, it is also possible for you, as a user of our website, to be shown our advertisements (Facebook ads) within the social media platforms Facebook and/or Instagram. The advertisements will only be displayed based on the interests of the users that have shown to be interested in our offer (e.g. recognisable by the fact that a user has already visited our website) or who have other characteristics, such as an interest in certain products or services. As a logged-in Facebook user, you can deactivate this function under https://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=ads#._ As a logged-in user of Instagram, you can deactivate the function under https://www.instagram.com/accounts/cookie_settings/?hl=de.

If consent is given, a direct connection to the Facebook server is established when our website is called up. We cannot influence the data collected, the scope of the collection, the purpose and the processing procedures or the deletion and storage periods. An assignment to an existing Facebook profile cannot be ruled out.

Google Maps – Pharmacy Finder

We offer you a free service on this website under the name "Pharmacy Finder".

Technically, the pharmacy finder is implemented based on the service Google Maps. This allows us to display interactive maps directly on the website and allows you to use the map function comfortably; including searching and displaying pharmacy locations.

It is the interactive map service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, imprint: https://www.google.de/intl/de/contact/impressum.html. The parent company of this Irish-based company is Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (hereinafter referred to as "Google"). Google's privacy policy is available here: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

We integrate Google Maps via Google API on our website (the acronym API stands for application programming interface). This is a program interface that allows us to integrate third-party services on our website, the privacy policy regarding the Google API service can be found here: https://developers.google.com/terms/api-services-user-data-policy).

In principle, we only use Google Maps if you have given us your express consent via our Consent tool. The integration of Google Maps on our website and the associated data processing is based on your consent within the meaning of Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. a GDPR. The transfer of your data to a third country from our website is in the present case within the meaning of Artt. 44 ff. GDPR justified by your consent, this follows from Art. 49 sec. 1 lit. a GDPR.

Note: With your consent, your data will then be transferred not only to Ireland but also to the USA and thus to an unsafe third country. There currently are no EU adequacy decision or any other appropriate guarantees for the US. The protection of your data cannot be guaranteed in the destination country USA. There is currently no equivalent level of data protection in the US. Therefore, the transmission is associated with corresponding risks. In particular, there are no guarantees regarding the failure of access to your transferred data by public authorities. For example it cannot be ruled out that US authorities may access your data on the basis of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA; a law that governs the United States' foreign intelligence and counter-espionage services). In this context, we expressly point out that you, as an EU citizen, do not have an effective legal protection against the processing of your data by US authorities on the basis of FISA. If you give your consent, you do so in the knowledge of these risks, which you consciously accept as a result. You can revoke your consent at any time by means of the cookie settings within this privacy policy, in which you only accept essential cookies.

Cookie settings


If you have given your consent and then call up the sub-page on which Google Maps is implemented, Google will receive the information about this call-up and a transfer of the personal data mentioned in this data protection declaration will take place in the case of purely informational use of the website to Google. This transfer is used to create a user profile by Google and takes place regardless of whether you have a Google account. However, if an account is available and if you are logged into the account when you access the sub-page on which Google Maps is implemented, this data will be assigned. This data is stored by Google and used for advertising and/or market research purposes, such as the provision of tailored advertising. If you do not want the data to be assigned to your google profile, you must log out before visiting the website with the Maps service.

If you wish to prevent the processing described above by Google Maps and the associated transfer of data to the USA, please do not give your consent or do not visit the subpage containing the "Pharmacy Finder" and/or log out of your Google Account before visiting the site (see above).

Definition of terms

The following terms that we use within our privacy policy are defined within Article 4 GDPR. This is only an extract from Article 4 GDPR. All definitions can be viewed in the GDPR (available here).

  • Personal data (Art. 4 no. 1 GDPR)
    Personal means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (‘data subject’); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

  • Processing (Art. 4 no. 2 GDPR)
    Processing means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

  • Pseudonymisation (Art. 4 No. 5 GDPR)
