Logged data on page visits are stored for 30 days.

To ensure the proper operation of our systems, we log access to our services. There is no automated linking with data from other databases and no profiling. The log data are deleted after 30 days. When our pages are accessed, the following data are logged temporarily: Date and time of access, shortened IP address of your system, browser used, operating system used, language setting, services accessed via our systems, files or pages (URL), successful access or error, amount of data transferred, previously visited pages (referrer). The data are not merged with other information about your person.

The connection between your system and ours (between browser and server) is encrypted. You should keep your internet browser up to date and check the status of your connections.

Personal data that you provide to us via e-mail (your name, e-mail address as well as content) will only be processed for correspondence with you or for the purpose for which you have provided us with the data. E-mail is not suitable for sending confidential information because of the not yet widespread use of encryption. Both the transmission of the metadata (sender, recipient, time of communication, route of communication, subject) and the content and, if applicable, the file attachments are often sent unencrypted. During transmission or on compromised end devices, messages could be read, copied, changed or suppressed.

You can subscribe to newsletters on specified topics. For the mailings and to prove your request, we store your IP address at the time of registration, your surname and first name, your specified e-mail address and your confirmation of the request. You can revoke your consent to receive a newsletter at any time and without giving reasons. A revocation option is also included in every mailing.

We use Mailingwork to send our newsletter. Your data will therefore be transferred to Mailingwork GmbH (head office: Birkenweg 7, 09569 Oederan branch: Schönherrstraße 8, 09113 Chemnitz, Germany).

We will not pass on personal data that we use for this purpose to third parties unless you have given us your consent to do so.

Our website uses cookies. These are small text files that we allow your display program (browser) to place on your device and read; for example, to optimise the display of the content for your device, e.g. screen size, connection quality, language, to ensure the security of the connection, to continue sessions on your next visit, to save your decisions or preferences, to learn more about the course of visits through statistics and to make it easier to find topics in the future. Our processing of personal data is carried out to protect our legitimate interests for the purposes described in each case; you may object to such processing; the objection is directly implemented for some processing, for others there is no direct implementation and you would need to provide your reasons along with the objection. We would separately ask for your consent to allow the use of cookies whose function goes beyond the delivery and display of the retrieved content; for example, where we identify you, target you for personalised advertising, or where cookies would also be usable by other entities for their purposes; you could withdraw such consents at any time and without giving reasons with effect for the future. When using the same user profile, e.g. sharing the same login on your device, other people could continue sessions with your existing cookies. Settings in your browser allow you to control the handling of cookies and to delete cookies.

You can use the booking function to make appointments. Depending on the subject area and the form of contact, it may be necessary to collect certain data, e.g. e-mail address or telephone number. When making an appointment, please do not provide any particularly sensitive information in the free text field, e.g. no specific health data. Your data will initially only be processed in order to keep the appointment, i.e. to confirm, reschedule or cancel the appointment, and to conduct the interview. If necessary, data will be passed on to the internal department responsible for the subject or region for clarification or to establish contact. In the further course of the consultation, the data may be used to send you more detailed information on your request or to pre-register you for certain services by arrangement; otherwise, the data will be deleted after the consultation has been completed. Appointments are booked via the order processor eTermin (www.etermin.net), which processes the data exclusively according to our specifications in the EU.
