1. General information, controller, data protection officer

1. Note on the responsible body

The controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation and other national data protection laws of the member states as well as other data protection regulations is the:

MVZ Zahnzentrum Walle GmbH

Waller Heerstraße 144

28219 Bremen

Phone: 0421 3964248

Email: info@zahnzentrum-walle.de

2. Data Protection Officer

The data protection officer of the institution can be contacted at datenschutz@patient21.com.

3. Scope of the processing of personal data

In principle, data relating to health is very sensitive data. For this reason, data protection is particularly important to us.

We only process our users' personal data insofar as this is necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. The processing of our users' personal data only takes place regularly with the user's consent. An exception applies in cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.

4. Legal basis for the processing of personal data

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data.

If the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the former interest, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

5. Data erasure and storage duration

The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Data may also be stored if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the controller is subject. The data will also be blocked or erased if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.

6. Note on data transfer to the USA

Among other things, tools from companies based in the USA are integrated on our website. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to the US servers of the respective companies. We would like to point out that the USA is not a safe third country within the meaning of EU data protection law. US companies are obliged to disclose personal data to security authorities without you as the data subject being able to take legal action against this. It can therefore not be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. secret services) may process, evaluate and permanently store your data on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities. We have concluded valid suitable guarantees with the service providers for the transfer to these third countries in accordance with Art. 46 para. 2 GDPR.

At no time will health data be transferred to the USA. If you have any further questions, please contact our data protection officer.

2. Use of our website

1. Provision of the website, CDN and creation of log files

1. Informational use

Description and scope of data processing

It is generally not necessary for you to provide personal data in order to use our website for information purposes only. Rather, in this case we only collect and use the data that your Internet browser automatically transmits to us, such as:

• Date and time of access to one of our web pages
• Your browser type
• the browser settings
• the operating system used
• the last page you visited
• the amount of data transferred and the access status (file transferred, file not found, etc.)
• Your IP address.

Purpose of data processing

We collect and use this data during an informational visit exclusively in non-personalized form. This is done to enable you to use the web pages you have accessed, for statistical purposes and to improve our website. The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable the website to be delivered to the user's computer. For this purpose, the user's IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session.

Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Purpose of data processing

Temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable delivery of the website to the user's device. For this purpose, the user's IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session.

Duration of storage

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of the collection of data for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended. If the data is stored in log files, this is the case after fourteen days at the latest. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or anonymized so that it is no longer possible to identify the accessing user. Access to the log data is only possible directly and exclusively for administrators.

Possibility of objection and removal

The collection of data for the provision of services and the storage of data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the services offered. The user can object to this. Whether the objection is successful must be determined as part of a weighing of interests.

Further information

In order to use our offer and other services, it may be necessary to provide personal data. Further information on the use of these services can be found in the section "Use of offers".

3. Use of cookies

Description and scope of data processing

Our website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in the Internet browser or by the Internet browser on the user's computer system. When a user accesses a website, a cookie may be stored on the user's operating system. This cookie contains a characteristic string of characters that enables the browser to be uniquely identified when the website is called up again.

When accessing our website, the user is informed about the use of cookies by a consent banner and his consent to the processing of the personal data used in this context is obtained and documented in accordance with data protection regulations. In this context, there is also a reference to this data protection declaration and a reference to how the storage of cookies can be prevented in the browser settings.

We use cookies on our website that are not technically necessary. Cookies that are not technically necessary are text files that are not only used for the functionality of the website, but also collect other data.

By setting technically unnecessary cookies, the following data is processed:

• IP address
• Location of Internet users
• Date and time the website was accessed
• Customization of advertisements to the user
• Tracking of surfing behavior
• Linking the website visit with other social media platforms

You can determine yourself whether cookies can be set and retrieved using the settings in your browser. For example, you can completely deactivate the storage of cookies in your browser, restrict it to certain websites or configure your browser so that it automatically notifies you as soon as a cookie is to be set and asks you for feedback. For technical reasons, however, it is necessary to allow the above for the full functionality of our website.

Each browser differs in the way it manages cookie settings. This is described in the help menu of each browser, which explains how you can change your cookie settings. You can find these for the respective browsers under the following links:

Legal basis for data processing

The provisions of the Telecommunications and Telemedia Data Protection Act (TTDSG) apply to the storage of information in the end user's terminal equipment and/or access to information already stored in the end user's terminal equipment. If the setting and reading of cookies is technically necessary, this is done to ensure the functionality of our website. In this case, cookies are stored and accessed on your terminal equipment on the basis of Section 25 (2) No. 2 TTDSG. The purpose of storing and accessing the information in your terminal equipment is to make it easier for you to use our website and to be able to offer you our services as you have requested. Some functions of our website would not work without the use of these cookies and could therefore not be offered. The cookies are generally deleted at the end of the session (e.g. logging out or closing the browser) or after a specified period of time.

Insofar as cookies are used that are not technically necessary, this is done on the basis of your express consent, which you can give via the cookie banner. In this case, the basis for storing and accessing information is Section 25 (1) TTDSG in conjunction with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a), Art. 7 GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future or subsequently grant it again by configuring your cookie settings accordingly. Alternatively, you can prevent the storage of cookies by making the appropriate settings in your browser software. Please note that the browser settings you make only apply to the browser you are using. If personal data is processed following the storage of and access to the information on your end device, the provisions of the GDPR apply.

• Objective measurement of user numbers
• Analysis of user data

Duration of storage, objection and removal options

Cookies are stored on the user's computer and transmitted by it to our website. As a user, you therefore have full control over the use of cookies. You can deactivate or restrict the transmission of cookies by changing the settings in your Internet browser. Cookies that have already been saved 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 functions of the website to their full extent.

Our website contains our contact details and a contact form that can be used to contact us. It is generally possible to contact us via the e-mail address provided. In this case, the transmitted personal data (name and request) of the user will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request.

If customers or interested parties use the option of sending messages via the contact form, the data entered in the input mask will be transmitted to us and stored. These data are

• Name

• Website of your practice

The following data is also stored at the time the message is sent:

In this context, no data will be passed on to third parties without your consent. The data will be used exclusively for processing the conversation.

The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted in the course of sending a request is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. The legitimate interest lies in the efficient and fast processing of user inquiries. If the e-mail contact is aimed at the conclusion of a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

Purpose of data processing

The processing of the personal data from the input screen or the data transmitted in any other way serves us to process the establishment of contact, the processing of user inquiries or the processing of appointment requests. In the case of contact by email, this also constitutes the necessary legitimate interest in processing the data.

The other personal data processed during the sending process is used to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.

Duration of storage

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. For the personal data from the input screen of the contact form and those sent by email, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended. The conversation is ended when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified.

In exercising this right, you also have the right to have the personal data concerning you transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible. The freedoms and rights of other persons must not be affected by this.

However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR, unless Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a or g GDPR applies and appropriate measures have been taken to protect the rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests.

In the cases referred to in (1) and (3), the data controller shall implement suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express your point of view and to contest the decision.
