To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance.

We use the following terms, among others, in this privacy notice:

(a) personal data

Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter "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.

f) Pseudonymisation

Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data is not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

(g) controller or person responsible for processing

The controller or person responsible for processing is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.

j) Third

Third party means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and the persons authorised to process the personal data under the direct responsibility of the controller or the processor.

k) Consent

Groups of people affected

Our website is aimed at all customers, employees, service providers, partners, applicants and other interested parties. We provide these groups of people with information about our company.

Collection of general data and information
 

The website of the Dr. Loges + Co. GmbH collects a series of general data and information every time a data subject or automated system calls up the website. This general data and information is stored in the log files of the server. The following data 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 accesses our website (so-called referrer), (4) the sub-websites that are accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system and (8) other similar data and information that serve to avert danger in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using these general data and information, the Dr. Loges + Co. GmbH does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed (1) to deliver the contents of our website correctly, (2) to optimise the contents of our website and the advertising for these, (3) to ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber attack. Therefore, the Dr. Loges + Co. GmbH analyzes anonymously collected data and information on one hand, and on the other hand, with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise, so that we can ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from any personal data provided by a data subject. This data can be stored for up to 7 days. After a technical evaluation, this data is deleted. Pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR, this data collection serves to protect our legitimate interests in the correct presentation of our offer, which outweigh our interests in the context of a balancing of interests.

Cookie Consent Tool

We use the cookie consent tool "Cookiebot" from the provider Usercentrics GmbH, Sendlinger Straße 7, 80331 Munich, to obtain effective user consent for cookies and cookie-based applications that require consent.

By integrating this consent tool, users are shown a banner when they access the page, in which they can give their consent for certain cookies and/or cookie-based applications by ticking the appropriate box. The tool blocks the setting of all cookies requiring consent until the respective user gives the corresponding consent by ticking the corresponding box. This ensures that such cookies are only set on your respective end device if you have given your consent. In order for the cookie consent tool to be able to clearly assign page views to individual users and to individually record, log and store the consent settings you have made for a session duration, certain user information (including the IP address) is collected when our website is called up by the cookie consent tool, transmitted to the server of the provider of the cookie consent tool and stored there. This data processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in a legally compliant, user-specific and user-friendly consent management for cookies and thus in a legally compliant design of our website. Further legal basis for the described data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c) GDPR. As the responsible party, we are subject to the legal obligation to make the use of technically unnecessary cookies dependent on the respective user consent.

Use of cookies
 

In addition to the previously mentioned data, cookies or similar technologies such as pixels (hereinafter generally referred to as "cookies") are used on your computer when you use and visit our website. Cookies are either small databases that are stored by your browser on your end device to store certain information, or image files such as pixels. The next time you call up our website with the same terminal device, the information stored in cookies is subsequently sent back either to our website ("first party cookie") or to another website to which the cookie belongs ("third party cookie").

Through the stored and returned information, the respective website recognises that you have already called up and visited it with the browser of your end device. We use this information to optimally design and display the website according to your preferences. Only the cookie itself is identified on your end device. Any further storage of personal data only takes place with your express consent or if this is absolutely necessary in order to be able to use the service offered and accessed by you accordingly.

This website uses the following types of cookies, the scope and functionality of which are explained below:

- Unconditionally      required cookies (type a)

- Functional and performance cookies (type b)

- Cookies requiring consent          (type c)

Essential cookies (type a)

Essential cookies ensure functions without which you cannot use our websites as intended. These cookies are used exclusively by us and are therefore first party cookies. This means that all information stored in the cookies is returned to our website.

Essential cookies are used, for example, to ensure that you, as a registered user, always remain logged in when accessing various sub-pages of our website and thus do not have to re-enter your login data each time you call up a new page.

The use of essential cookies on our website is possible without your consent. For this reason, cookies that are absolutely necessary cannot be individually deactivated or activated. However, you have the option to generally deactivate cookies in your browser at any time (see below).

Functional and performance cookies (type b)

Functional cookies allow our website to store information you have already provided (such as registered name or language selection) and offer you improved and more personalised features based on this information. These cookies only collect and store anonymised information, so they cannot track your movements on other websites.

Performance cookies collect information about how our websites are used in order to improve their attractiveness, content and functionality. These cookies help us to determine, for example, whether and which subpages of our website are visited and which content users are particularly interested in. In particular, we record the number of times a page is accessed, the number of sub-pages accessed, the time spent on our website, the order of the pages visited, which search terms led you to us, the country, region and, if applicable, the city from which access is made, as well as the proportion of mobile devices accessing our websites. Furthermore, we record movements, "clicks" and scrolling with the computer mouse in order to understand which areas of our website are of particular interest to users. As a result, we can tailor the content of our website more specifically to the needs of our users and optimise our offering. The IP address of your computer transmitted for technical reasons is automatically anonymised and does not allow us to draw any conclusions about the individual user.

You can object to the use of functional and performance cookies at any time by adjusting your cookie settings accordingly.

Legal basis: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR

Cookies requiring consent (type c)

Cookies that are neither absolutely necessary (type a) nor functional or performance cookies (type b) are only used after your consent.

We reserve the right to also use information obtained by means of cookies from an anonymised analysis of the usage behaviour of visitors to our websites in order to display specific advertising for certain of our products to you on our own websites. We believe that this benefits you as a user because we display advertising or content that we believe, based on your browsing behaviour, matches your interests and so you are less likely to be shown randomly scattered advertising or specific content that may be of less interest to you.

Marketing cookies come from external advertising companies (third party cookies) and are used to collect information about the websites visited by the user in order to create targeted advertising for the user.

Legal basis: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR

Opt-out for marketing cookies

You can also manage cookies used for online advertising through tools developed in many countries as part of self-regulatory programmes, such as the US-based www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU-based www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices.

Legal basis: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR

Management and deletion of all cookies

In addition, you can set your internet browser so that cookies are generally prevented from being saved on your end device or you are asked each time whether you agree to cookies being set. Once cookies have been set, you can also delete them at any time. You can find out how all this works in detail in the help function of your browser.

We use the following cookies described here for the following purposes:

Facebook fan page

We have integrated a component of the Facebook service on our website, which is a link to our Facebook fan page. We use the technical platform of Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland (hereinafter: Facebook) for the information service offered here.

According to the ECJ, there is joint responsibility within the meaning of Article 26 of the GDPR between Facebook and the operator of a Facebook fan page for the personal data processed via the Facebook fan page. For this reason, we have concluded a joint responsibility agreement with Facebook.

When you access a Facebook fan page, the IP address of your end device is transmitted to Facebook. According to Facebook, this IP address is anonymised and deleted after 90 days, at least if it is a German IP address. In addition, Facebook stores further information about the end devices of its users, e.g. the internet browser used. This may enable Facebook to assign IP addresses to individual users. If you are logged into your Facebook account when you visit our fan page, a cookie with your Facebook ID is stored on your end device. Based on this cookie, Facebook can track that you have visited our fan page and how you have used it. Facebook uses this information to present you with content or advertising tailored to you. If you do not want this, you should log out of your Facebook account or deactivate the "stay logged in" function. We also recommend deleting the cookies on your device and closing and restarting your browser. This process deletes Facebook information that Facebook can use to establish a link to you. However, if you want to use the interactive functions of our fan page, you would have to log in to Facebook again with your Facebook login information. This also enables Facebook to establish a link to you again. In what way Facebook uses the data from visits to Facebook pages for its own purposes, to what extent activities on the Facebook page are assigned to individual users, how long Facebook stores this data and whether data from a visit to the Facebook page is passed on to third parties, is not conclusively and clearly stated by Facebook and is not known to us. As a user of our fan page, we can only refer you to Facebook's privacy policy. The data collected about you in this context is processed by Facebook and may be transferred to countries outside the European Union.

Facebook describes in general terms what information it receives and how it is used in its data usage guidelines. There you will also find information on how to contact Facebook and on the settings for advertisements. The data usage guidelines are available at the following link: de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy. Opt-out options can be set here: www.facebook.com/settings and here www.youronlinechoices.com.

The transmission and further processing of users' personal data to third countries, such as the USA, as well as the associated possible risks for you as a user cannot be assessed by us as the operator of the Facebook fan page.

Insight function

Facebook also provides a range of statistical data for fan page operators as part of the so-called "Insights" function. These statistics are generated and provided by Facebook. We, as the operator of the fan page, have no influence on the generation, in particular we cannot prevent this function. Within the framework of the "Insights" function, the following information is presented to us for the categories "fans", "subscribers", "people reached" and "interacting people" for a selectable period of time: Page activities such as page views, page previews, actions on the page; reach activities such as "likes", people reached and recommendations, post activities such as post interactions, video views, comments, content shared. In addition, we are provided with statistical information about the Facebook groups that are linked to our fan page. In accordance with the Facebook Terms of Use, which each user has agreed to as part of creating a Facebook profile, we may also identify subscribers and fans of the page and view their profiles and other shared information from them. Facebook provides more detailed information on this at the following link: de-de.facebook.com/help/pages/insights.

We use this data, which is available in aggregated form, to make posts and activities on the Fanpage more attractive to users, such as for planning the content and timing of posts.

We store the information transmitted by Facebook at most as long as your interest in deletion or anonymisation does not prevail. If you no longer wish to have the data processing described here in the future, please cancel the connection of your user profile to our fan page by using the functions "I no longer like this page" and/or "Do not subscribe to this page".

We recommend that you address any requests for information or other questions regarding your rights, which are listed at the end of this privacy policy, directly to Facebook, as only Facebook has full access to the user data. Should you nevertheless address your request to us, it will of course still be processed and additionally forwarded to Facebook.

Google Analytics 4 (GA4)

(update July 2023)

This website uses Google Analytics 4, a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"), to analyse the use of websites.

When using Google Analytics 4, so-called "cookies" are used. Cookies are databases that are stored on your terminal device and enable an analysis of your use of a website. The information collected by cookies about your use of the website (including the IP address transmitted by your terminal device, shortened by the last few digits, see below) is usually transmitted to a Google server and stored and processed there. This may also result in the transmission of information to the servers of Google LLC, a company based in the USA, where the information may be further processed. GA4 also offers server-side tracking, which enables us to pseudonymise user data on our own server and only then transmit it to Google.

When using Google Analytics 4, the IP address transmitted by your terminal device when using the website is automatically collected and processed only in a pseudonymised manner, so that the information collected cannot be directly related to a person. This automatic pseudonymisation is carried out by shortening the IP address transmitted by your terminal device by Google within member states of the European Union (EU) or other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area (EEA) by the last digits.

Google uses this and other information on our behalf to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on your website activities and usage behaviour and to provide us with other services related to your website and internet usage. In this context, the IP address transmitted and shortened by your terminal device within the scope of Google Analytics 4 will not be merged with other data from Google. The data collected in the context of the use of Google Analytics 4 will be retained for 2 months and then deleted.

Google Analytics 4 enables us to recognise the so-called "demographic characteristics" of a user via browser fingerprints. This enables us to analyse information about the age, gender and interests of website users across devices on the basis of an evaluation of interest-based advertising and by using information from third-party providers. This makes it possible to determine and distinguish user groups of the website for the purpose of targeting marketing measures. However, data collected via the "demographic characteristics" cannot be assigned to a specific person and thus also not to you personally. This data collected via the "demographic characteristics" function is kept for two months and then deleted.

All processing described above, in particular the setting of Google Analytics cookies for the storage and reading of information on the end device used by you for the use of the website, only takes place if you have given us your express consent for this in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. Without your consent, Google Analytics 4 will not be used during your use of the website. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your revocation, please deactivate this service via the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.

We have concluded a so-called order processing agreement with Google for our use of Google Analytics 4, which obliges Google to protect the data of our website users and not to pass it on to third parties.

To ensure compliance with the European level of data protection, also in the event of any transfer of data from the EU or EEA to the USA and possible further processing there, Google refers to the so-called standard contractual clauses of the European Commission, which we have contractually agreed with Google.

Further legal information on Google Analytics 4, including a copy of the aforementioned standard contractual clauses, can be found at policies.google.com/privacy and at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

Google Signals

We have enabled the Google Signals add-on feature in Google Analytics, which extends the current features to collect more anonymous data from you. This feature includes cross-device tracking, meaning your data can be analysed across all of your devices. When Google signals are enabled, data is collected and linked to your Google account so that Google can recognise your activity on our website from different devices. This feature allows us to run cross-device remarketing campaigns and show you our offer on other websites.

In addition, we are able to view other visitor data such as your location, search history and actions on our website. This gives us more meaningful advertising reports and data about your interests and demographics, including your age, language, location and gender. All this information helps Google Analytics to identify target groups or groups of people and enables us to better understand your behaviour, preferences and interests. The purpose is to optimise and personalise our products and services to meet your needs. The data collected expires by default after 26 months. It is always anonymous data. This does not allow us to create a user profile (profiling). You can manage or delete this data in your Google account. The activity of Google signals always requires your consent to personalised advertising in your Google account. You can find more information on this at the following link: support.google.com/analytics/answer/7532985

Legal basis: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR.

Google Optimize

Our website uses the web analysis and optimisation service "Google Optimize", which is provided by Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (hereinafter "Google Optimize"). We use the Google Optimize service to increase the attractiveness, content and functionality of our website by playing new functions and content to a percentage of our users and statistically evaluating the change in usage. Google Optimize is a sub-service of Google Analytics.

Google Optimize uses cookies to optimise and analyse your use of our website. The information generated by these cookies about your use of our website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. We use Google Optimize with IP anonymisation activated so that your IP address is shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of our website, compiling reports on website optimisation tests and related website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to us.

Legal basis: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR.

Taboola

We use the service Taboola. The provider is Taboola Germany GmbH, Alt-Moabit 2, 10557 Berlin. This is for marketing and analysis purposes within the scope of your consent. The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time via the consent tool. With the help of the cookie which is then set, your visits to our website, but also to other websites which use the service, can be tracked. For more information on data protection at Taboola, please visit: https://www.taboola.com/policies/privacy-policy

Adform

We use the Adform
service of the company Adform Germany GmbH, Gr. Burstah 50-52, 20457 Hamburg, Germany on our website. The use of Adforms enables us to analyse the surfing behaviour of individual users. The purpose is to improve our offer for the user. The data stored in this process is processed in anonymous form. A direct allocation to specific persons is therefore not possible. The data is processed exclusively in the European Economic Area. The data processed in this context are mainly the user's IP address and the user's surfing behaviour.

This data is only stored for as long as is necessary for the purpose of evaluating user behaviour.

For more information, please see Adform's privacy policy: site.adform.com/privacy-policy-opt-out/ .

The legal basis for the data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR

Outbrain

Outbrain creates a user profile when you visit a website in which Outbrain is embedded. This profile stores the content you have viewed or read so that Outbrain can recommend further interest-based content or display advertising to you. The purposes of using this service are therefore marketing and analysis purposes. To create a user profile, information such as your device type, IP address, browser type, web pages visited and articles read, time of access and device ID are stored.

In addition, we use the Outbrain pixel to determine whether you already have an Outbrain user ID when you use our website. This makes it possible for advertisers from the Outbrain advertising network to measure how effective the respective campaigns are.

As their consent is required for the use of these services, the use of these services is exclusively based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR.

For more information, please see Outbrain's privacy policy at: https://www.outbrain.com/legal/privacy#privacy-policy.

A list of all cookies used by Outbrain can be found here: https://www.outbrain.com/privacy/cookies/.

You can view and change your interest profile under this link: https://my.outbrain.com/recommendations-settings/home.

E-mail newsletter

We offer an e-mail newsletter to provide information about our preparations, services and all about naturopathy. We use the CleverReach software from the provider CleverReach GmbH & Co KG //CRASH Building, Schafjückenweg 2, 26180 Rastede/Germany.

You can register for this newsletter by providing an e-mail address; information beyond the e-mail address is voluntary. We use the data collected for the purpose of registering for the newsletter to send the corresponding newsletter and evaluate your click behaviour in the e-mails (openings, clicks) in order to improve our offer and to carry out marketing analyses.

We use the so-called double opt-in procedure for the registration process. Once you have registered, you will receive an email in which you must click on a link to confirm your registration. In this way, we prevent unauthorised third parties from registering using your email address. We log the registration process in order to be able to prove the process in accordance with legal requirements. The IP address of the calling end device, date and time of registration are stored. The data you provide will be stored as long as the subscription to the newsletter is active.

The newsletter is usually sent out once a month ("regularly"). In individual cases (e.g. in the case of special promotions), contact may also be made on a weekly basis.

We also use remarketing measures to show you the relevant online advertising in each case.

This collected data is automatically deleted after 24 months if you no longer respond to the newsletter, e.g. open (inactivity). If you no longer wish to receive the newsletter, you can cancel the receipt of the newsletter at any time and unsubscribe accordingly. To do so, click on the link contained in each newsletter, you will then be guided through the unsubscribe process, or send us your revocation by e-mail.

Legal basis: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR

Google Tag Manager

With the Google Tag Manager, marketers can manage website tags via an interface. The Tag Manager only provides for the triggering of tags. For these respective third-party providers, corresponding explanations can be found in this privacy policy. However, the Google Tag Manager does not use this data. If you have set or otherwise made a deactivation of cookies, this will be observed for all tracking tags that were used with the Google Tag Manager, so the tool does not change your cookie settings.

The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR.

Google Ads

We use Google Ads to draw attention to our attractive offers on external websites with the help of advertising media (so-called Google Ads). We can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are in relation to the data of the advertising campaigns. In this way, we pursue the interest of showing you advertising that is of interest to you, making our website more interesting for you and achieving a fair calculation of advertising costs.

These advertisements are delivered by Google via so-called "ad servers". For this purpose, we use ad server cookies, which can be used to measure certain parameters for measuring success, such as the display of ads or clicks by users. If you access our website via a Google ad, Google Ads will store a cookie on your end device. These cookies usually lose their validity after 30 days and are not intended to identify you personally. 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 no longer wishes to be addressed) are usually stored as analysis values for this cookie.

These cookies enable Google to recognise your internet browser. If a user visits certain pages of an Ads customer's website and the cookie stored on their computer has not yet expired, Google and the customer can recognise that the user has clicked on the ad and been redirected to that page. A different cookie is assigned to each Ads customer. Cookies can therefore not be tracked via the websites of Ads customers. We ourselves do not collect or process any personal data in the aforementioned advertising measures. We only receive statistical evaluations from Google. These evaluations enable us to recognise which of the advertising measures used are particularly effective. We do not receive any further data from the use of the advertising media; in particular, we cannot identify the users on the basis of this information.

Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with the Google server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of this tool and therefore inform you according to our state of knowledge: Through the integration of ads, Google receives the information that you have called up the corresponding part of our website or clicked on an ad from us. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, it is possible that the provider may obtain and store your IP address.

Legal basis: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR

Youtube

We have integrated videos from the provider Youtube, Google Ireland Limited Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4. Ireland, into our online offer, which are stored on www.YouTube.com and can be played directly from our website. We have no influence on this data transmission. The purpose of the processing is marketing background.

By visiting the website, YouTube receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding sub-page of our website. This occurs regardless of whether YouTube provides a user account via which you are logged in or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly assigned to your account. If you do not want your data to be associated with your YouTube profile, you must log out before activating the button. YouTube stores your data as usage profiles and uses them for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or designing its website in line with requirements. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to provide needs-based advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, and you must contact YouTube to exercise this right.

For more information on the purpose and scope of data collection and processing by YouTube, please refer to YouTube's privacy policy. There you will also find further information on your rights and setting options to protect your privacy:
https://policies.google.com/privacy .

In order to establish an adequate level of security, your consent pursuant to Art. 49 (1) a) GDPR may serve as the legal basis for the transfer to third countries.

To protect your rights and personal data, we have integrated Youtube with a so-called two-click solution, which only transmits data to Google after you have explicitly activated the video function.

Furthermore, Google offers a number of ways to object to the collection of personal data by Google: policies.google.com/privacy

We only store your data to process your request in accordance with the legal requirements. The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. When the respective conversation with the enquirer has ended, the statutory period begins to run. The conversation is ended when the circumstances indicate that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified and storage is no longer necessary for any follow-up questions from the person concerned.

We would like to point out that the processing of your transmitted data such as health data within the meaning of Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR, is based on Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c and Art. 9 para. 2 lit. h GDPR in conjunction with. German § Section 22 (1) no. 1 lit. b BDSG for the purpose of processing your request. We are legally obliged to store health data for a period of at least 10 years in accordance with the German Medicines Act.

Contact us by e-mail and contact form

When you contact us by e-mail or via our contact form, the data you provide (your e-mail address, your name and your telephone number, if applicable, as well as other special personal data such as health data, if applicable) will be stored by us in order to answer your questions. The legal basis for this is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a GDPR. We delete the data accruing in this context after storage is no longer necessary, e.g. when your request has been dealt with or after expiry of the time limits if special categories of personal data are included. Otherwise, processing is restricted if there are legal obligations to retain data.

We would like to point out that the processing of your transmitted data such as health data within the meaning of Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR, is based on Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c and Art. 9 para. 2 lit. h GDPR in conjunction with. German § Section 22 (1) no. 1 lit. b BDSG for the purpose of processing your request. We are legally obliged to store health data for a period of at least 10 years in accordance with the German Medicines Act.

Routine deletion and blocking of personal data

The controller shall process and store personal data of the data subject only for the time necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or where provided for by the European Directive and Regulation or other legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.

If the purpose of storage no longer applies or if a storage period prescribed by the European Directive and Regulation or another competent legislator expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.

Legal bases of the processing
 

Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for our company for 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 that are necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, the processing is based on Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. b GDPR. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of enquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation by which the processing of personal data becomes necessary, such as for the fulfilment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data might become necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were to be injured on our premises and as a result his or her name, age, health insurance details or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. In that case, the processing would be based on Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. d GDPR. Finally, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. Processing operations which are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject are not overridden. Such processing operations are permitted to us in particular because they were specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, it 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).

Duration for which the personal data are stored

The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiry of the period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted if it is no longer required for the fulfilment or initiation of the contract.

For legal claims, the statute of limitations also plays a role in the storage period. It can be e.g.

Legal or contractual provisions are, for example, provision of the personal data; necessity for the conclusion of the contract; obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of non-provision.

We would like to inform you that the provision of personal data is sometimes required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also result from contractual regulations (e.g. information on the contractual partner). Sometimes, in order to conclude a contract, it may be necessary for a data subject to provide us with personal data that must subsequently be processed by us. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company concludes a contract with him or her. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before providing personal data by the data subject, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee will inform the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of the 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 not providing the personal data would be.

Existence of automated decision making
 

As a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision-making or profiling.

Data protection information for applicants

We are pleased that you are interested in us and are applying or have applied for a position in our company. We would like to provide you below with information on the processing of your personal data in connection with the application.

Which of your data do we process? And for what purposes?

We process the data you have sent us in connection with your application in order to check your suitability for the position (or other open positions in our company, if applicable) and to carry out the application process.

On what legal basis is that based?

The legal basis for the processing of your personal data in this application procedure is primarily the german section 26 BDSG. According to this, the processing of data required in connection with the decision on the establishment of an employment relationship is permissible.

Should the data be required for legal prosecution after the application process has been completed, data processing may be carried out on the basis of the requirements of Art. 6 GDPR, in particular in order to safeguard legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our interest then consists in the assertion or defence of claims.

How long will the data be stored?

Data of applicants will be deleted after 6 months in case of rejection.

In the event that you have agreed to further storage of your personal data, we will transfer your data to our applicant pool. There, the data will be deleted after two years.

If you have been awarded a position during the application process, the data from the applicant data system will be transferred to our personnel information system.

To which recipients is the data passed on?

Your application data will be screened by the HR department after receipt of your application. Suitable applications are then forwarded internally to the department heads for the respective open position. The further procedure is then coordinated. In principle, only those persons in the company have access to your data who need this for the proper course of our application procedure.

Where is the data processed?

The data is processed exclusively in data centres in the Federal Republic of Germany.

Data protection information for participants in our surveys

We hereby inform you about your data processing within the scope of surveys. In addition, you will receive information that is legally required by the General Data Protection Regulation.

Data and purposes of use

Our mailing or newsletter contains a general link to the survey or a personalised link, or a document (PDF, web page, written form).

Participation is voluntary and we will not store your data with a personal reference. The data will be anonymised. In particular, we do not store the link or the documents of the survey together with their data through the answers.

Storage period

The data for participation in the survey, i.e. the link to your email address, is only stored until the end of a complete survey. We then anonymise it.

Data recipient

We do not use external service providers for surveys, otherwise we will inform you again before the survey. Transmissions are encrypted.

Your data will not be transferred to or processed in countries outside the EU.

Legal basis

The legal basis for the collection and use of your answers is the implementation of the legal relationship that arises between you and us with your participation in the online survey, Art. 6 para. 1 lit a) GDPR. You give your consent in advance of the survey in our invitations to the respective survey. You can revoke your consent at any time by using the above contact details or datenschutz@loges.de.

Documentation (electronic log files)

As part of the technical processing of online surveys, certain data is collected for technical reasons.

When you call up an individual page of the online survey, our web servers record the IP address of your computer, the address (URL) of the page called up, the date and time of the call-up, any error messages and, if applicable, the operating system and browser software of your end device as well as the website from which you are visiting us in a log file as standard.

We use the log file data exclusively to ensure the functionality of our services (e.g. error analysis, ensuring system security and protection against misuse) and delete it after 90 days. We do not link log file data to your name, email address or responses.

Insofar as log file data qualify as personal data in individual cases, the legal basis for the processing of log file data is our legitimate interests (error analysis, ensuring system security and protection against misuse), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

Surveys that are carried out on the basis of documents (PDF, paper form, etc.) also do not contain any personal data within the documents in order to ensure complete anonymisation and processing in terms of data protection.

Rights of the data subject

1. revocation of consent

If the processing of personal data is based on consent given, you have the right to revoke your consent at any time. The revocation of the consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation.

2. right to information

If personal data are processed, you can request information about these personal data and about the following information at any time:

(a) the purposes of the processing;

(b) the categories of personal data processed;

(c) the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, in particular in the case of recipients in third countries or international organisations;

(d) if possible, the planned duration for which the personal data will be stored or, if this is not possible, the criteria for determining that duration;

f) the existence of a right of appeal to a supervisory authority;

(g) where the personal data are not collected from the data subject, any available information on the origin of the data;

(h) the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, pursuant to Article 22(1) and (4) of the GDPR and, at least in those cases, meaningful information about the logic involved and the scope and intended effects of such processing for the data subject.

i) If personal data are transferred to a third country or to an international organisation, you have the right to be informed about the appropriate safeguards pursuant to Article 46 DPA Regulation in connection with the transfer. We will provide a copy of the personal data that is the subject of the processing. For any further copies you request as an individual, we may charge a reasonable fee based on administrative costs. If you make the request electronically, the information shall be provided in a commonly used electronic format, unless it indicates otherwise. The right to receive a copy under Article 20 shall not prejudice the rights and freedoms of other persons.

3. right to rectification and completion

You have the right to request that we correct any inaccurate personal data relating to you without undue delay. Taking into account the purposes of the processing, you have the right to request the completion of incomplete personal data, including by means of a supplementary declaration.

4. right to erasure ("right to be forgotten")

You have the right to request the controller to delete the personal data concerning you without delay and we are obliged to delete personal data without delay if one of the following reasons applies:

(a) the personal data are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.

(b) the data subject revokes the consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) or Article 9(2)(a) of the GDPR and there is no other legal basis for the processing.

(c) the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) of the GDPR.

(d) the personal data have been processed unlawfully.

(e) the erasure of the personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.

If the controller has made the personal data public and is obliged to erase it pursuant to paragraph 1, it shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, having regard to the available technology and the cost of implementation, to inform data controllers which process the personal data that a data subject has requested that they erase all links to or copies or replications of that personal data.

The right to erasure ("right to be forgotten") does not exist insofar as the processing is necessary:

• to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information;
• for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
• for reasons of public interest in the field of public health pursuant to Article 9(2)(h) and (i) and Article 9(3) of the GDPR;
• for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes as referred to in Article 89(1) of the GDPR, where the right referred to in paragraph 1 is likely to render impossible or seriously prejudice the achievement of the purposes of such processing, or
• for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims.

5. right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request us to restrict the processing of your personal data if one of the following conditions is met:

(a) the accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data;

(b) the processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests instead the restriction of the use of the personal data;

(c) the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing but the data subject needs them for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; or

(d) the data subject has objected to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR for as long as it is not yet clear whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.

Where processing has been restricted in accordance with the above conditions, such personal data shall be processed, apart from being stored, only with the consent of the data subject or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of substantial public interest of the Union or of a Member State.

6. right to data portability

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and you have the right to transfer this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data was provided, provided that:

a) the processing is based on consent pursuant to Article 6 (1) (a) or Article 9 (2) (a) or on a contract pursuant to Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR and

(b) the processing is carried out with the aid of automated procedures.

When exercising the right to data portability pursuant to paragraph 1, you have the right to have the personal data transferred directly from one controller to another controller, insofar as this is technically feasible. The exercise of the right to data portability does not affect the right to erasure ("right to be forgotten"). This right shall not apply to processing necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

7. right of objection

You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you which is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The controller shall no longer process the personal data unless it can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

If personal data are processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such marketing; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If you object to the processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data will no longer be processed for these purposes.

In the context of the use of information society services, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, you may exercise your right to object by means of automated procedures using technical specifications.

You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you which is carried out for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1), unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest.

You can exercise the right to object at any time by contacting the respective person responsible.

8. right to complain to a supervisory authority

They shall also have the right, without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their residence, place of work or the place of the alleged infringement, if the data subject considers that the processing of personal data relating to them infringes this Regulation.

9. right to effective judicial remedy

Without prejudice to any available administrative or non-judicial remedy, including the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority pursuant to Article 77 GDPR, you shall have the right to an effective judicial remedy if you consider that your rights under this Regulation have been infringed as a result of the processing of your personal data not in compliance with this Regulation.
