Privacy Notice

1. INTRODUCTION

We would like to use the information below to provide you "data subject" with an overview of our processing of your personal data and your rights under data protection law. It is generally possible to use our website without entering personal data. However, if you wish to make use of special services offered by our company through our website, it may be necessary to process personal data. If it is necessary to process personal data and there is no legal basis for such processing, we will generally obtain your consent.

Personal data, such as your name, the address or email address, is always processed in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to the "Ovesco Endoscopy AG". The aim of this Privacy Notice is to inform you about the scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process.

As the data controller, we have implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure the most complete possible protection of the personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can in principle have security gaps so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, you are free to submit personal data on alternative ways, such as by phone or by post to us.

You may contact our data protection officer directly at any time if you have any questions or suggestions regarding data protection.

4. LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING

Article 6 Paragraph 1(a) GDPR serves as our company's legal basis 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 you are a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations that are necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of other services or consideration, processing is based on Article 6 Paragraph 1(b) GDPR. The same applies to those processing operations required to carry out pre-contractual measures, such as in cases of queries regarding our products or services.

If our company is subject to a legal obligation requiring the processing of personal data, such as for the fulfilment of tax obligations, processing is based on Article 6 Paragraph 1(c) GDPR.

In rare cases, processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if someone visiting our business were to be injured and their name, age, health insurance data or other vital information needed to be disclosed to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Processing would then be based on Article 6 Paragraph 1(d) GDPR.

Finally, processing operations could be based on Article 6 Paragraph 1(f) GDPR. Processing operations not based on any of the above-mentioned legal bases may be carried out on the basis of Article 6 Paragraph 1(f) GDPR if processing is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of our company or those of a third party, provided the interests and fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not take precedence. We are permitted to engage in such processing operations in particular because they have been specifically mentioned in European law. In this respect, the legislature took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if you are a customer of our company (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).

5. DISCLOSURE OF DATA TO THIRD PARTIES

Your personal data will not be sent to third parties for purposes other than those listed below.

We will disclose your personal data to third parties if:

  1. you have expressly consented to this pursuant to Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1(a) GDPR,
  2. disclosure under Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1(f) GDPR is permitted to safeguard our legitimate interests and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding legitimate interest in not disclosing your data,
  3. in the event that there is a legal obligation to disclose your data pursuant to Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1(c) GDPR and
  4. if this is legally permissible and necessary for the performance of our contract with you pursuant to Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1(b)GDPR.

To protect your data and if necessary, enable us to transfer data to third countries (outside the EU), we have concluded data processing agreements ("Data Processing Agreement") based on the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission.

6. TECHNOLOGY

6.1 SSL/TLS encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption to ensure the security of data processing and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders, login details or contact requests that you send to us as the website operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection by your browser`s address bar reading "https://" instead of "http://" and the lock symbol in the browser bar.

We use this technology to protect your transmitted data.

6.2 Data collection when visiting the website

If you only use our website for informational purposes, i.e., if you do not register or otherwise provide us with information, we only collect the data your browser sends our server (in what is known as "server log files"). Our website collects a range of general data and information each time you access a website or an automated system. This general data and information are stored in the server's log files. It may be collected

  1. the types and versions used,
  2. the operating system used by the accessing system,
  3. the website from which an accessing system accesses our website (called a referrer),
  4. the sub-pages accessed via an accessing system on our website,
  5. the date and time the website is accessed,
  6. a truncated internet protocol address (anonymised IP address) and
  7. the accessing system's internet service provider.

No conclusions are drawn about you when using this general data and information. Instead, this information is needed

  1. to properly deliver our website content,
  2. to optimise the content of our website as well as to advertise it,
  3. to ensure the continued functioning of our IT systems and our website's technology
  4. as well as to provide the information necessary for law enforcement authorities to prosecute in theevent of acyber-attack.

This collected data and information is therefore statistically analysed and further analysed by us with the aim of increasing data protection and data security within our company to ultimately ensure an optimum level of protection for the personal data being processed by us. The anonymous data from the server log files is stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

The legal basis for data processing is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is based on the purposes listed above for the collection of data.

7. COOKIES

7.1 General information about cookies

We use cookies on our website. Cookies are small files that are automatically created by your browser and stored on your IT system (laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when you visit our website.

Information generated from the specific device used is stored in cookies. This does not mean, however, that we will gain immediate knowledge of your identity.

The use of cookies helps us make it more convenient for you to use our website. For example, we use session cookies to detect whether you have already visited individual pages on our website. These are erased automatically when you leave our website.

We also use temporary cookies to optimise user-friendliness. These cookies are stored on your device for a specific period of time. If you return to our website to use our services, cookies allow us to automatically recognise that you have visited our website previously and remember the inputs and settings you have made so that you do not have to enter them again.

We also use cookies to statistically record the use of our website and analyse it for the purpose of optimising our services. These cookies allow us to automatically recognise that you have already visited our website when you visit our website again. These cookies are automatically erased after a defined period of time.

7.2 Legal basis for the use of cookies

The data processed by cookies, which are required for the proper functioning of the website, are to safeguard our legitimate interests pursuant to Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1(f) GDPR.

For all other cookies you have given your consent to this through our opt-in cookie banner in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1(a) GDPR.

8. CONTENTS OF OUR WEBSITE

8.1 Contact/contact form

Personal data is collected when you contact us (e.g., using our contact form or by email). If you use a contact form to get in touch with us, the contact form you use will indicate the data being collected. This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of responding to your query or establishing contact and the associated technical administration. The legal basis for data processing is our legitimate interest in responding to your request pursuant to Article 6 Paragraph 1(f) GDPR. If the aim of you contacting us is to conclude a contract, processing is also legally based on Article 6 Paragraph 1(b) GDPR. Your data will be erased once we have finished processing your query. This is the case when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the relevant facts have been clarified in a conclusive manner and there are no statutory retention obligations in place that prevent its erasure.

8.2 Application management/job exchange

We collect and process the personal data of applicants for the purpose of carrying out the application process. Processing may also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits corresponding application documents to us electronically, for example by email or via a web form on the website. If we conclude an employment contract with an applicant, the data transmitted will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If we do not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically erased two (2) months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests of ours prevent their erasure. Other legitimate interests in this context include, for example, the duty to provide evidence in proceedings under the German Equal Treatment Act (Allgemeines Gleichbehandlungsgesetz [AGG]).

Legal basis for the processing of the data is Article 88 GDPR, § 26 I BDSG

8.3 Inquiries by email, telephone or fax

If you contact us by e-mail, telephone or fax, your request, including all personal data resulting therefrom (name, request), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We do not pass on this data without your consent. This data is processed on the basis of Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR, provided that your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1(a) GDPR) and / or on our legitimate interests (Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1(f) GDPR), as we have a legitimate interest in the effective Processing the inquiries sent to us. The data you send to us via contact requests will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal regulations in particular statutory retention periods, remain unaffected by this.

8.4 Credit checks

It should be noted that we are entitled, in compliance with the legal requirements, to transmit all relevant data from open claims due to non-contractual behavior to credit agencies. If we make advance payments, e.g., in the case of payment on account or direct debit, we reserve the right to obtain credit information. For this purpose, we transmit the personal data required for a credit check to a credit rating agency. We use the information received from there on the statistical probability of a payment default for a balanced decision on the establishment, implementation or termination of a contractual relationship. Your legitimate interests are considered in accordance with the statutory provisions.
The processing takes place on the basis of Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1(f) GDPR for the aforementioned legitimate interest.

9. NEWSLETTERS

9.1 Newsletter for regular customers

If you have provided us with your email address when purchasing goods or services, we reserve the right to send you regular emails with offers on products or services from our collection similar to those you have already purchased. We do not require your specific consent for such purposes as per article 7, paragraph 3 of the UWG (Unfair Competition Act). The sole basis for the data processing is our legitimate interest in personalised direct marketing in line with article 6, paragraph 1 Sentence 1(f) GDPR. We will not send you any emails should you expressly object to the use of your email address for that purpose. You are entitled to object to the use of your email address for the aforementioned purpose at any time with immediate effect by notifying the data controllers listed in the opening of this statement. By taking this action, you will incur submission fees only in line with basic rates. After receipt of your objection, your email address will immediately be removed for marketing purposes.

9.2 Scientific newsletter

You can subscribe to our scientific newsletter via our website. The input screen determines which personal data are shared with us when subscribing to the newsletter.

We use our scientific newsletter to regularly communicate our offers to our customers and business partners. You can, therefore, only receive our company's newsletter if

  1. you have a valid email address and
  2. you have registered for the newsletter

For legal reasons, as part of the double opt-in procedure a confirmation email will be sent to the email address you provided when registering for the newsletter. This confirmation email is sent to check if you are the holder of the email address and have authorised the newslett

When you register for the scientific newsletter, we also save the IP address used by your IT system at the time of registration, which is issued by your Internet Service Provider (ISP) as well as the date and time of registration. We must collect this data to investigate any (possible) misuse of your email address at a later stage and it is therefore lawful for the purposes of our security.

The personal data collected during registration are used solely for sending our newsletter. Furthermore, subscribers to the scientific newsletter may receive information via email if this is required in order to administer the newsletter service for registration purposes, which may be the case if our newsletter is amended or technical circumstances change. Personal data collected for our newsletter service are not shared with third parties. You may terminate your subscription to our scientific newsletter at any time. You can at any time withdraw your consent to the storage of the personal data you shared during registration. A link is provided in each scientific newsletter to allow you to withdraw your consent. It is also possible to unsubscribe from our newsletter directly through the website or to contact us in another manner.

The legal basis for data processing for the purposes of sending a scientific newsletter is article 6, paragraph 1 Sentence 1(a) GDPR.

9.3 Newsletter tracking

Our scientific newsletter's contain what are known as tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in emails sent in HTML format to enable the recording and analysis of log files. This allows for a statistical analysis of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. The embedded tracking pixel allows the company to determine if and when an email was opened by you and what links you accessed in the email.

We store and analyse the personal data collected via the tracking pixel contained in the newsletters in order to optimise the sending of our newsletters and to adapt the content of future newsletters to suit your interests even better. This personal data will not be disclosed to third parties. Data subjects are entitled to revoke the relevant declaration of consent granted separately and submitted via the double opt-in procedure at any time. Once consent has been revoked, we erase this personal data. Unsubscribing from the newsletter will automatically be interpreted as revocation.

This kind of analysis is carried out in particular in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1(f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interests in displaying personalised advertising, market research and/or the design of our website commensurate to market needs.

10. OUR ACTIVITIES IN SOCIAL NETWORKS

To allow us to communicate with you on social networks and inform you about our services, we run our own pages on these social networks. If you visit one of our social media pages, we and the provider of the social media network are joint controllers (Art. 26 GDPR) regarding to the processing operations triggered thereby, which concern personal data.

We are not the original provider of these pages, but only use them within the scope of the options offered to us by the respective providers.

We would therefore like to point out as a precautionary measure that your data may also be processed outside of the European Union or the European Economic Area. Use of these networks may therefore involve data protection risks for you since the protection of your rights may be difficult, e.g., your rights to information, erasure, objection, etc. Processing on social networks frequently takes place directly for advertising purposes or for the analysis of user behaviour by network providers, and we have no control over this. If the provider creates user profiles, cookies are often used, or user behaviour may be assigned directly to your own member profile on the respective social network (if you are logged in).

The processing operations of personal data described are carried out in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1(f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interests and the legitimate interests of the respective provider in order to communicate with you in a timely manner or to inform you about our services. If you have to grant your consent to the respective providers to process your data as a user, the legal basis for this processing is Article 6 Paragraph 1(a) GDPR in conjunction with Article 7 GDPR.

Since we have no access to these providers databases, we would like to point out that you would be best placed to exercise your rights (e.g., to information, rectification, erasure, etc.) directly with the respective provider. More information on the processing of your data on social networks and your options for exercising your right to object or your right of revocation (opt out) is listed below for each of the social network providers we use:

11. WEB ANALYTICS

11.1 Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited (https://www.google.com/about/) (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; hereinafter referred to as "Google"), on our website. As part of this, pseudonymised user profiles are created and cookies (see the section on "Cookies") are used. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website, such as your browser

  1. browser type/version
  2. operating system
  3. referrer URL (website previously visited), host
  4. name of the accessing computer (IP address) and
  5. time of server request,

is transmitted to a Google server in the US and stored there. This information is used to evaluate your use of this website, to compile reports on the website activities, and to perform further services linked to website and internet use for market research purposes and to tailor the design of this website. This information may also be sent to third parties if this is legally required or if third parties process this data on behalf of Google. Under no circumstances will your IP address be associated with any other data. IP addresses are anonymised so that it is not possible to assign them to individuals (known as IP masking).

You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser; however, we would point out that this may result in you not being able to use all the features of this website.

These processing operations only take place if express consent is granted in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1(a) GDPR.

You can also prevent the data generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) from being sent to and processed by Google by downloading and installing the available browser add-on (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en).

As an alternative to the browser add-on, especially for browsers on mobile devices, you can also prevent Google Analytics from capturing data by clicking on the following link: Deactivate Google Analytics. This sets an opt-out cookie that prevents the future collection of your data when visiting this website. The opt-out cookie is only valid on this browser and only for our website and is stored on your device. If you erase the cookies stored for this browser, you will need to reset the opt-out cookie.

Additional information on data protection with respect to Google Analytics is available on the Google Analytics website in the help section (https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en).

11.2 LinkedIn Insight Tag Privacy Policy

We use the LinkedIn Insight Tag conversion tracking tool on our website. The service provider is the American company LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. The company LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited (Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland) is responsible for the data protection aspects in the European Economic Area (EEA), the EU and Switzerland.

LinkedIn also processes your data in the USA, among other places. We would like to point out that, according to the European Court of Justice, there is currently no adequate level of protection for data transfer to the USA. This can be associated with various risks for the legality and security of data processing.

As a basis for data processing by recipients based in third countries (outside the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, i.e. in particular in the USA) or data transfer there, LinkedIn uses so-called standard contractual clauses (= Art. 46. Para. 2 and 3 DSGVO). Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) are templates provided by the EU Commission and are intended to ensure that your data also comply with European data protection standards if they are transferred to third countries (such as the USA) and stored there. Through these clauses, LinkedIn undertakes to comply with European data protection standards when processing your relevant data, even if the data is stored, processed and managed in the USA. These clauses are based on an implementation decision of the EU Commission. You can find the decision and the corresponding standard contractual clauses here: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dec_impl/2021/914/oj?locale=de

More information about the standard contractual clauses at LinkedIn can be found at https://de.linkedin.com/legal/l/dpa or https://www.linkedin.com/legal/l/eu-sccs

For more information about LinkedIn Insight Tag, visit https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/a427660. You can find out more about the data processed by using the LinkedIn Insight tag in the data protection declaration at https://de.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy.

12. PLUGINS AND OTHER SERVICES

12.1 Zoom - video conferencing

We use the software for video conferences "Zoom" to carry out our communication in the form of telephone conferences, online meetings, video conferences and webinars (hereinafter: "online meetings"). The software provider is Zoom Video Communications, Inc., 55 Almaden Blvd, Suite 600, San Jose, USA.

When using "Zoom", different types of data are processed. The scope of the data also depends on what information you provide before or when you participate in an "online meeting". The following personal data may be the subject of processing:

  • User information such as first name, last name, phone number (optional), email address (optional), password (if "single sign-on" is not used), profile picture (optional).
  • Meeting metadata such as topic, description (optional), participant IP addresses, device/hardware information.
  • For recordings (optional), all video, audio and presentation recordings and text files of the online meeting chat can be processed.
  • When dialling in with the telephone, information on the incoming and outgoing phone number, country name, start and end time is processed. If necessary, further connection data such as the IP address of the device can be saved.
  • You may have the opportunity (optional) to use the chat, question, or survey functions in an "online meeting". The text you enter will be processed to display it in the "online meeting" and, if necessary, to log it. to enable the display of video and the playback of audio, the data from the microphone of your end device and from any video camera on the end device are processed accordingly for the duration of the meeting. You can switch off or mute the camera or microphone yourself at any time via the "Zoom" applications.

If a corresponding consent was requested, the processing takes place exclusively based on Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR. In the context of an employment relationship, corresponding data processing takes place based on § 26 BDSG. The legal basis for the use of "Zoom" in the context of existing or incipient contractual relationships is Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR. In all other cases, the legal basis for the processing of your personal data is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Here we are interested in the effective implementation of "online meetings".

If we record "online meetings", we will inform you before the start and, if necessary, ask for your consent to the recording. If you do not want this, you can leave the "online meeting".

The provider of "Zoom" necessarily receives knowledge of the above data, insofar as this is provided for in the context of our order processing contract (Art. 28 DS-GVO) with "Zoom". This includes the purpose of providing, optimizing, and securing the service. The participation information you provide will be used for the purpose of identification in the "online meeting". "Zoom" is a service provided by a provider based in the United States. Processing of the personal data also takes place in a third country (outside the EU and the EEA). As protective measures, we have concluded the EU standard contractual clauses (Art. 46 Para. 2 and 3 DS-GVO) and made our zoom configuration in such a way that only data centers in the EU or in other secure Third countries (e.g., by adequacy decision according to Art. 45 DS-GVO) are used. However, we cannot rule out the possibility of data being routed via Internet servers located outside the EU/EEA, which can be the case if participants in "online meetings" are in a third country. However, the data is encrypted during transport over the Internet and thus protected against unauthorized access by third parties.

To the extent that "Zoom" processes personal data in connection with "Zoom's" legitimate business operations, "Zoom" is an independent data controller for that use and as such is responsible for compliance with applicable laws and obligations of a data controller. If you visit the provider's other websites or install the provider's application on your device, the processing of personal data is based exclusively on the provider's data protection regulations.

You can find more information about "Zoom" at: https://explore.zoom.us/de/privacy/.
