This involves collecting, collating and analysing data about your behaviour as a visitor to our website. Among other things, the web analytics service collects data about the referrer URL (the website from which a visitor came), which subpages were visited or how often and for how long a subpage was visited. The web analysis service is used to optimise a website and to analyse the costs and benefits of internet advertising. Google will also use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. The data processed in this way will not be assigned to you personally, but will be given a separate user ID.
The legal basis for the processing of personal data is your consent acc. to article 6 (1) (a) GDPR.

Each end device on which the user logs into their Google account can be clearly assigned to this user. If you have given your consent, Google will link your web and app browsing history with your Google account for this purpose. In this way, interest-based, personalised advertising messages that have been adapted to you depending on your previous usage and surfing behaviour on one end device (e.g., mobile phone) can also be displayed on another of your end devices (e.g., tablet or PC).

Vimeo collects your IP address, the type of browser you use, your operating system or your device information. When you click and watch the video, Vimeo also processes information about your web activity by setting cookies in your browser. This allows your behaviour to be analysed for the purpose of optimization and cost-benefit analysis of our videos and events.

For an improved geographical representation of our office locations and to make it easier for you to find them, we have integrated maps from the Google Maps service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”) into our website via an API. By visiting the website, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding sub-page of our website. In particular, your IP address is sent to a Google server. This takes place regardless of whether Google 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 wish your data to be associated with your Google profile, you must log out of your Google account after using the relevant Google service. Google 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 conducted 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.
Insofar as personal data is transferred to Google servers in the USA and stored and further processed there, Google has concluded the standard data protection clauses adopted by the EU Commission with the Google companies based in the USA, which permit the transfer of personal data to the USA in individual cases. Further information on data processing by Google can be found at https://policies.google.com/privacy
We do not store any personal data through the integration of Google Maps.
1.3.4 Google reCAPTCHA
We use reCAPTCHA from the operating company Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”) to check and prevent interactions on our website through automated access, e.g. through so-called bots. The main purpose of this tool is to distinguish whether entries are made by natural persons or, where applicable, improperly by machine and automated processing. This service enables Google to determine from which website a request is sent and from which IP address you use the so-called reCAPTCHA input box. reCAPTCHA places a cookie in your browser when it is executed and creates a screenshot of your browser window. In addition to your IP address, information about other Google cookies that have been set in your browser within the last six months, information about language settings, the date, installed plug-ins and all JavaScript objects will be collected by Google in the United States of America that are necessary for offering and guaranteeing this service. Due to this information transfer, it cannot be ruled out that cross-device tracking takes place at the same time.
The data processing is based on our legitimate interest pursuant to article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is to maintain the security and stability of our platform and to prevent abuse and SPAM. You can permanently prevent cookies from being set at any time by making the appropriate settings in your browser, so that Google reCAPTCHA cannot set a cookie either. Furthermore, cookies already used by Google reCAPTCHA can be deleted at any time via the browser.
The personal data collected in this respect may be transmitted to Google, possibly also to the USA, and stored and processed there. The transfer is secured by an order processing agreement and the conclusion of the EU standard contractual clauses, which in individual cases permit a transfer to so-called third countries outside the EU. Information on data protection at Google can be found here https://policies.google.com/privacy.

In addition to the aforementioned processing of Insights Data, we are generally solely responsible for any further processing by us (for example, if you contact us via Facebook and we process your data to respond to your enquiry).
The legal basis of the processing for the purpose of answering inquiries that serve a future conclusion of a contract and are initiated by you is article 6 (1) (b) GDPR and in other cases article 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

Beyond enabling data processing in connection with the YouTube page, Medix has no influence on the type and scope of the data processed by YouTube, the type of processing and use or the transfer of this data to third parties. Medix also has no further effective control options in this respect. Google processes your voluntarily entered data such as name and username, email address, telephone number or the contacts in your address book when you upload or synchronise this. Google also evaluates the content you share to determine what topics you are interested in, processes messages you send directly to other users, and may use GPS data, wireless network information or your IP address to determine your location in order to serve you advertising or other content.
We only receive non-personal activity information, such as the number of profile or like clicks from a particular activity, is viewable by us through the YouTube account.
Medix is solely responsible for certain data processing. We process the following data for communication with YouTube users in order to offer our information service:
- User interactions (postings, likes, viewing a video, etc.),
- Profile name and data provided by the user in the course of the conversation, e.g., for processing service requests, and
- Statistical data on user interactions in aggregated form, i.e., without personal reference for Medix (e.g., number of impressions of a video, number of interactions, number of detailed extensions, number of likes and dis-likes).
The processing is done for the purpose of communicating with you and to publish information about events, products, and services of Medix companies. The legal basis for processing for this purpose is article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The legitimate interest is the effective provision of information for users, customers and interested parties and communication with these persons as well as the external presentation of Medix.
If you interact with us publicly, for example by leaving a comment or “liking” a video, this data will remain publicly accessible on the site until deleted by us or you. Insofar as legal retention obligations require longer storage, your data will only be stored for this purpose and blocked for other purposes.
When you use YouTube, personal data relating to you will be processed by Google and, where applicable, transferred to the USA and stored and used there. In these cases, Google has concluded the standard data protection clauses of the EU Commission with the US Google companies, which legitimise a third-country transfer of personal data in individual cases. YouTube describes in general terms what information it receives and how it is used at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de&gl=de.
YOUR RIGHTS
Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data as follows:
- to request access to your personal data . This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it;
- to request rectification of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us;
- to request erasure of your personal data (right to be forgotten). This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. It also enables you to request that we delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request;
- to object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms;
- to request restriction of the processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it;
- to request transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party (right to data portability). We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note however that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you; or
- to withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
- to not be subject to decisions based solely on automated processing. Where certain decisions on our part are based solely on automated processing – including user profiling – you have the right not to be subject to such a decision which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you.
- to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes the provisions of data protection law, including the GDPR.
If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us by using the contact details set out under Contact Us below.
You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive, or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
If you wish to exercise any of those rights, we may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity. This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.
We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
ACCURACY OF PERSONAL DATA
We try to ensure that the information we hold about you is accurate and kept up to date by contacting you at regular intervals. However, if in the meantime you believe that any information, we are holding about you is inaccurate, out-of-date, or incomplete, please contact us by using the contact details as set out below (see Contact Us). We will promptly correct or delete any information found to be incorrect.
SECURITY
We have put in place what we consider to be appropriate security measures against unlawful or unauthorised processing of your personal data we hold, and against the accidental loss of, or damage to, your personal data.
We have also put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.
DISCLOSURE OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
We may disclose your personal data to third parties who are providing services to us. We may also disclose personal data we hold to third parties:
- in the event that we sell any business or assets, in which case we may disclose personal data we hold to the prospective buyer of such business or assets; and/or
- if we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation. This could include for example exchanging information with other companies and organisations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
To the extent we transfer any of your personal data to any third party, we will only do so if that third party puts in place appropriate security measures against unlawful or unauthorised processing of personal data, and against the accidental loss of, or damage to, the personal data.
TRANSFERRING PERSONAL DATA OUTSIDE THE EEA
If we transfer any of your personal data outside the Jurisdiction in order to provide Services, we will ensure that all applicable safeguards and measures are implemented in compliance with local requirements. The security of the transfer is principally ensured by so-called standard contractual clauses and other measures, which guarantee that the processing of personal data is subject to a level of security that corresponds to that of the GDPR. If the guarantees in place are not sufficient to ensure an adequate level of security, your consent pursuant to article 49 (1) GDPR may serve as the legal basis for the transfer to third countries.
RETENTION OF DATA
We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
To the extent we transfer any of your personal data to any third party, we will only do so if that third party puts in place appropriate security measures against unlawful or unauthorised processing of personal data, and against the accidental loss of, or damage to, the personal data.
OBLIGATION TO PROVDE YOUR PERSONAL DATA
