What is personal data?
Personal data is any information that relates to an identified or identifiable natural person. The decisive factor is therefore whether a reference to a person can be established through the data collected. This includes information such as your name, address, telephone number, e-mail address. Information that is not directly related to your real identity - such as favorite websites or number of users of a site - is not personal data.
How do we collect and process personal data?
You can visit this site without providing any personal information. Personal data is only collected if you voluntarily provide it to us during your visit to our website.
How do we use your personal data, how do we pass them on?
If the opportunity for the input of personal or business data (email addresses, name, addresses) is given, the input of these data takes place voluntarily. If necessary, e-mails can be transmitted via a contact form. If you send us such a message, your personal data will only be collected to the extent necessary for a reply. The e-mail will be transmitted unencrypted.
We use the personal data you provide exclusively for the purpose of technical administration of the websites and to fulfill your wishes and requirements, i.e. generally to process a contract concluded with you or to respond to your inquiry.
Only if you have given us your prior consent or if you have not objected - as far as this is provided for by legal regulations - we also use this data for product-related surveys, marketing purposes and statistical purposes.
Your personal data will not be passed on, sold or otherwise transferred to third parties unless this is necessary for the purpose of processing a contract or you have given your express consent.
Any consent given can be revoked at any time with effect for the future.
How long is the data stored?
In principle, we store all information that you transmit to us until the respective, e.g. contractual, purpose has been fulfilled. If a longer storage is provided for by law, the storage takes place within this framework.
If you no longer wish us to use your data, we will of course comply with this request immediately (please contact the address given under "Contact" or the data protection officer of the Laboratory of Biomechanics and Implant Research).
When will your data be deleted?
Stored personal data will be deleted if you revoke your consent to storage, if knowledge of the data is no longer required to fulfill the purpose for which it was stored, or if storage is inadmissible for other legal reasons. Data for billing and accounting purposes are not affected by a request for deletion.
Use of cookies
This website does not use data packets that are exchanged between the website and the web server (cookies).
Use of Google Maps
This site uses the map service Google Maps via an API. The provider is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
To use the functions of Google Maps, it is necessary to store your IP address. This information is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The provider of this site has no influence on this data transmission.
The use of Google Maps is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offers and an easy location of the places indicated by us on the website. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.
More information on the handling of user data can be found in Google's privacy policy: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.
Data protection for applications and in the application process
We collect and process the personal data of applicants for the purpose of handling the application process. The processing may also take place electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant sends us corresponding application documents by electronic means, for example by e-mail. If an employment contract is concluded with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If no employment contract is concluded with the applicant, the application documents will be deleted six months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests of the controller conflict with such deletion. Other legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a duty to provide evidence in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).
What do we do for the security of processing?
Our company takes all necessary technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal data from loss and misuse. For example, your data is stored in a secure operating environment that is not accessible to the public. In certain cases, your personal data is encrypted during transmission using so-called Secure Socket Layer technology (SSL). This means that communication between your computer and our company's servers takes place using a recognized encryption method if your browser supports SSL.
Should you wish to contact our company via e-mail, we would like to point out that the confidentiality of the information transmitted is not guaranteed. The content of e-mails can be viewed by third parties. We therefore recommend that you send us confidential information exclusively by post.
What are your data protection rights?
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, their origin and possible recipients and the purpose of data processing (Art. 15 DSGVO) and, if applicable, a right to correct incorrect data Art. 16 DSGVO), delete this data (Art. 17 DSGVO) the right to restrict processing under Art. 18 DSGVO, to object (Art. 21 DSGVO) and the right to data portability of data provided by you under Art. 20 DSGVO). With regard to the right to information and the right of deletion, the restrictions according to §§ 34 and 35 BDSG apply.
In addition, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority in the event of violations of data protection law (Art. 77 DSGVO in conjunction with §19 BDSG). The competent supervisory authority for data protection issues is the state data protection commissioner of the federal state in which our company is based. A list of data protection officers and their contact details can be found at the following link: https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Infothek/Anschriften_Links/anschriften_links-node.html.
How to revoke given consent for data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke an already given consent at any time. For this purpose, an informal communication by e-mail to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Contact for questions, complaints, assertion of your rights
In case of questions, complaints or assertion of your data protection rights, you can contact us at any time at the above addresses.
