This includes information relevant to the service or registration. The validity of the email address is checked using the so-called “double-opt-in” procedure. For this purpose, the order of the newsletter is checked by sending a confirmation email and the reply. No further data is collected.

 

Unsubscribing from the newsletter (revocation of consent) is possible at any time and can be done either by sending a message to the contact option described below or via a link provided for this purpose in the newsletter.

Dispatch of the newsletter

 

Existing patients

 

We reserve the right to send you regular information about our medical services and offers by e-mail. For this purpose, we do not need to obtain separate consent from you in accordance with Section 7 (3) of the German Unfair Competition Act (UWG). In this respect, the data processing is carried out solely on the basis of our legitimate interest in personalized direct advertising in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1, p. 1, f) DSGVO. If you have initially objected to the use of your e-mail address for this purpose, no e-mails will be sent by us. You are entitled to object to the use of your e-mail address for the aforementioned advertising purpose at any time with effect for the future by notifying the responsible person named at the beginning.

Cookies: use, legal basis and purpose

 

So that we can optimally design the functional scope as well as the technical presentation of our website and also further optimize it, we use so-called “cookies”. These are small text files that are stored on your terminal device. With the help of these “cookies”, data can be stored on your computer when you call up our website. We also use cookies on our website that enable an analysis of the user’s surfing behavior. When calling up our website, the user is informed about the use of cookies for analysis purposes and his consent to the processing of personal data used in this context is obtained. In this context, a reference to this privacy policy is also made.

 

The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1, p.1, f) DSGVO.

The legal basis in the case of consent given by the user is Art. 6 para. 1, p.1. a) DSGVO.

 

The purpose of the use of technically necessary cookies 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 even after a page change. We require cookies for the following applications: Acceptance of language settings. The user data collected by technically necessary cookies are not used to create user profiles.

 

Analysis cookies are used for the purpose of improving the quality of our website and its content. Through the analysis cookies, we learn how the website is used and can thus constantly optimize our offer.

 

Duration of storage, possibility of objection and removal

 

Cookies are stored on the user’s computer and transmitted to our site by the user. Therefore, you as a user also have full control over the use of cookies. By changing the settings in your Internet browser, you can disable or restrict the transmission of cookies. Cookies that have already been stored can be deleted at any time. This can also be done automatically. If cookies are deactivated for our website, it may no longer be possible to use all website functions to their full extent.

 

Social media

 

Data processing in social media

 

Various social media are used. In the context of communication with users, user data may be processed outside the European Union, which may result in risks by making it more difficult to enforce rights. Regarding US providers certified under the Privacy Shield, we point out that they thereby undertake to comply with EU data protection standards.

 

As a rule, user data is processed for advertising and market research purposes in order to be able to create usage profiles from usage behavior. The usage profiles can be used, for example, for the targeted placement of advertisements. For these purposes, cookies are usually stored on the users’ computers, in which the usage behavior and interests of the users are stored.

 

Facebook

 

Facebook Inc, 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”). At https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/, it is explained which setting options Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the data subject.

When you call up a page of our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to the servers of Instagram. The content of the plugin is transmitted by Instagram directly to your browser and integrated into the page.

This information (including your IP address) is transmitted by your browser directly to an Instagram server in the USA and stored there. If you are logged in to Instagram, Instagram can directly assign your visit to our website to your Instagram account. If you interact with the plugins, for example by clicking the “Instagram” button, this information is also transmitted directly to an Instagram server and stored there. The information is also published on your Instagram account and displayed there to your contacts. If you do not want Instagram to directly assign the data collected via our website to your Instagram account, you must log out of Instagram before visiting our website. You can also completely prevent the loading of Instagram plugins with add-ons for your browser, e.g. with the script blocker “NoScript” (http://noscript.net/).

We use on our website the function for embedding GoogleMaps maps of Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”).

 

The function enables the visual display of geographical information and interactive maps.

 

Google also collects, processes and uses data from visitors to the pages in which GoogleMaps maps are integrated. More information on the collection and use of data by Google can be found in the privacy policy of Google at https://www.google.com/privacypolicy.html. There you also have the option in the Privacy Center to change your settings so that you can manage and protect your data processed by Google.

Your data may also be transferred to the USA. An adequacy decision of the European Commission is available for data transfers to the USA.

 

You have the right to object at any time to this processing of personal data relating to you based on Art. 6 (1) f DSGVO for reasons arising from your particular situation.

 

To do so, you must switch off the JavaScript application in your browser. However, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website, such as the interactive map display, to their full extent.

 

Google AdSense

 

This website uses Google AdSense, a web advertising service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”). Google AdSense uses so-called “DoubleClick DART cookies” (“cookies”). These are text files that are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of your use of the website. In addition, Google AdSense also uses so-called “web beacons” (small invisible graphics) to collect information, through the use of which simple actions such as visitor traffic on the website can be recorded, collected and analyzed. The information generated by the cookie and/ or web beacon (including your IP address) about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

 

Google uses the information thus obtained to carry out an evaluation of your usage behavior with regard to the AdSense ads. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google AdSense will not be merged with other data from Google. The information collected by Google may be transferred to third parties if required by law and/ or if third parties process this data on behalf of Google.

 

The described processing of data is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO for the purpose of targeted advertising addressing of the user by advertising third parties, whose ads are displayed on this website based on the evaluated user behavior. At the same time, the processing serves our financial interest in exploiting the economic potential of our website by displaying personalized third-party advertising content for a fee.

Google AdWords

 

Part of our website is the integration of the so-called service Google AdWords. This is a service for Internet advertising, which allows advertisers to place ads in the search engine results of Google as well as in the Google advertising network. Google AdWords allows an advertiser to specify certain keywords in advance, by means of which an ad is displayed in Google’s search engine results exclusively when the user retrieves a keyword-relevant search result using the search engine. In the Google advertising network, the ads are distributed on topic-relevant websites by means of an automatic algorithm and in compliance with the previously defined keywords.

 

The operating company of the Google AdWords services is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. The purpose of Google AdWords is to advertise our website by displaying interest-relevant advertisements on the websites of third-party companies and in the search engine results of the Google search engine and to display third-party advertisements on our website. The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as already described above, at any time by means of an appropriate setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a conversion cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, a cookie already set by Google AdWords can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.

 

Furthermore, the data subject has the option to object to interest-based advertising by Google. To do this, the data subject must call up the link www.google.de/settings/ads from any of the internet browsers he or she uses and make the desired settings there. Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

The use of the service as a patient is possible without prior registration. After selecting a reason for visit and an available appointment, the patient is asked to submit his or her details (e.g. name, date of birth, telephone number, e-mail address) in a contact form. In addition to the voluntary information and your message content, this information is required by the practice to process your request, identify you as a patient of the practice, send appointment reminders, and contact you if necessary (e.g., last-minute appointment cancellation).

The data entered is automatically deleted from the web server at the end of each calendar quarter at the latest and is then only stored in the physician’s local practice information system as appointment information.
