3. Cookies

The websites of Filteria.de - Medical Trading Jürgen Single use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system via an internet browser.

Many websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a unique cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string through which websites and servers can be assigned to the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the visited websites and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other internet browsers that contain other cookies. A particular internet browser can be recognized and identified by the unique cookie ID.

By using cookies, Filteria.de - Medical Trading Jürgen Single can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.

With a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized for the user. As mentioned above, cookies allow us to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. The user of a website that uses cookies, for example, does not have to enter access data each time the website is accessed because this is taken over by the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online shop. The online store remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.

The data subject can prevent cookies from being set by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting in the internet browser used and thus permanently oppose the setting of cookies. Cookies that have already been set can also be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.

4. Collection of General Data and Information

The website of Filteria.de - Medical Trading Jürgen Single collects a series of general data and information with each visit by a data subject or an automated system. This general data and information are stored in the server's log files. The following data can be collected: (1) types and versions of browsers used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-websites that are accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) other similar data and information used to avert dangers in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using this general data and information, Filteria.de - Medical Trading Jürgen Single does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website and the advertising for it, (3) ensure the continued functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) provide law enforcement agencies with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyberattack. This anonymously collected data and information is therefore evaluated statistically and further analyzed with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company, in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

5. Registration on Our Website

The data subject has the possibility to register on the website of the data controller by providing personal data. The personal data transmitted to the data controller for the registration is determined by the respective input mask used for the registration. The personal data entered by the data subject is collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the data controller and for the data controller's own purposes. The data controller may arrange for the transfer to one or more processors, for example, a parcel service provider, who also uses the personal data exclusively for internal use, which is attributable to the data controller.

By registering on the website of the data controller, the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) to the data subject, the date, and the time of registration are also stored. The storage of this data takes place against the background that this is the only way to prevent the misuse of our services and, if necessary, to make it possible to investigate committed offenses. In this respect, the storage of this data is necessary for the security of the data controller. A passing on of this data to third parties does not take place unless there is a statutory obligation to pass on the data or the passing on serves the aim of criminal prosecution.

The registration of the data subject, with the voluntary indication of personal data, is intended to enable the data controller to offer the data subject contents or services that may only be offered to registered users due to the nature of the matter in question. Registered persons are free to change the personal data provided during registration at any time or to have them completely deleted from the data controller's database.

The data controller shall, at any time, provide information upon request to each data subject as to what personal data is stored about the data subject. In addition, the data controller shall correct or erase personal data at the request or indication of the data subject, insofar as there are no statutory storage obligations. The entirety of the data controller's employees are available to the data subject in this respect as contact persons.

6. Subscription to Our Newsletter

On the website of Filteria.de - Medical Trading Jürgen Single, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to the newsletter of our company. Which personal data are transmitted to the data controller when ordering the newsletter is determined by the input mask used for this purpose.

Filteria.de - Medical Trading Jürgen Single informs its customers and business partners at regular intervals by means of a newsletter about company offers. The newsletter of our company can only be received by the data subject if (1) the data subject has a valid email address and (2) the data subject registers for the newsletter dispatch. A confirmation email will be sent to the email address registered by a data subject for the first time for newsletter dispatch, for legal reasons, in the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation email is used to check whether the owner of the email address as the data subject has authorized the receipt of the newsletter.

When registering for the newsletter, we also store the IP address of the computer system assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) to the data subject at the time of registration, as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to understand the (possible) misuse of the email address of a data subject at a later date and therefore serves the aim of the legal protection of the data controller.

The personal data collected as part of a registration for the newsletter will only be used to send our newsletter. Subscribers to the newsletter may also be notified by email if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a registration in question, as might be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter offer or changes to the technical circumstances. There will be no transfer of the personal data collected as part of the newsletter service to third parties. Subscription to our newsletter may be terminated by the data subject at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data, which the data subject has given for newsletter dispatch, may be revoked at any time. For the purpose of revoking consent, there is a corresponding link in each newsletter. It is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on the website of the data controller or to communicate this to the data controller in a different way.

7. Newsletter-Tracking

The newsletters of Filteria.de - Medical Trading Jürgen Single contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in emails that are sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and log file analysis. This allows a statistical analysis of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns to be carried out. By means of the embedded tracking pixel, Filteria.de - Medical Trading Jürgen Single can recognize whether and when an email was opened by a data subject and which links in the email were called up by the data subject.

Such personal data collected via the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and analyzed by the data controller in order to optimize the newsletter dispatch and to adapt the content of future newsletters even better to the interests of the data subject. This personal data will not be passed on to third parties. Data subjects are at any time entitled to revoke the respective separate declaration of consent issued via the double-opt-in procedure. After a revocation, this personal data will be deleted by the data controller. Filteria.de - Medical Trading Jürgen Single automatically regards a withdrawal from the receipt of the newsletter as a revocation.

8. Contact Possibility via the Website

The website of Filteria.de - Medical Trading Jürgen Single contains information that enables a quick electronic contact to our company as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail (email address). If a data subject contacts the data controller by email or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject is automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the data controller is stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. There is no disclosure of this personal data to third parties.

9. Routine Erasure and Blocking of Personal Data

The data controller processes and stores personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the storage purpose or if required by the European legislator or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the data controller is subject.

During the course of this technical procedure, Facebook gains knowledge of what specific subpage of our website was visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is logged in at the same time on Facebook, Facebook detects with every call-up to our website by the data subject—and for the entire duration of their stay on our Internet site—which specific subpage of our Internet page was visited by the data subject. This information is collected through the Facebook component and associated with the respective Facebook account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the Facebook buttons integrated into our website, e.g., the "Like" button, or if the data subject submits a comment, then Facebook matches this information with the personal Facebook user account of the data subject and stores the personal data.

Facebook always receives, through the Facebook component, information about a visit to our website by the data subject, whenever the data subject is logged in at the same time on Facebook during the time of the call-up to our website.

An overview of all the Google+ Plug-ins can be accessed under https://developers.google.com/+/web/buttons-policy. During the course of this technical procedure, Google gains knowledge of what specific subpage of our website was visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is logged in at the same time on Google+, Google recognizes with each call-up to our website by the data subject and for the entire duration of their stay on our Internet site, which specific subpages of our Internet page were visited by the data subject. This information is collected through the Google+ button and Google matches this with the respective Google+ account of the data subject.

Google receives information through the Google+ button that the data subject has visited our website, provided that the data subject is logged in on Google+ at the time of the call-up to our website. This occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks or doesn’t click on the Google+ button.

If the data subject does not wish to transmit personal data to Google, he or she may prevent such transmission by logging out of their Google+ account before calling up our website.

13. Privacy Policy for the Use of Matomo

The data controller has integrated the Matomo component on this website. Matomo is an open-source software tool for web analysis. Web analysis is the collection, gathering, and evaluation of data on the behavior of visitors from Internet sites. A web analysis tool collects, among other things, data on the website from which a data subject came to a website (so-called referrer), which subpages of the website were accessed, or how often and for which period of time a subpage was viewed. A web analysis is mainly used for the optimization of a website and for the cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising.

The software is operated on the server of the data controller, and the log files are stored exclusively on this server.

The purpose of the Matomo component is to analyze the flow of visitors on our website. The data controller uses the obtained data and information, inter alia, to evaluate the use of this website in order to compile online reports, which show the activities on our websites.

Matomo sets a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. Cookies were explained above. With the setting of the cookie, an analysis of the use of our website is enabled. With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this website, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically through the Matomo component prompted to submit data for the purpose of online analysis to our server. During the course of this technical procedure, we obtain knowledge about personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which serves to understand the origin of visitors and clicks.

The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the access time, the location from which access was made, and the frequency of visits to our website. With each visit of our Internet pages, these personal data, including the IP address of the Internet access used by the data subject, are transmitted to our server. These personal data will be stored by us. We do not forward this personal data to third parties.

The data subject may, as stated above, prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by means of a corresponding adjustment of the web browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such an adjustment to the Internet browser used would also prevent Matomo from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, cookies already in use by Matomo may be deleted at any time via a web browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, it is possible for the data subject to object to a collection of data relating to a use of this Internet site generated by the Matomo and to prevent such collection. For this, the data subject must set a "Do Not Track" option in the browser.

With each setting of the opt-out cookie, however, there is the possibility that the websites of the data controller are no longer fully usable for the data subject.

Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Matomo may be retrieved under https://matomo.org/privacy/.

PayPal also offers the option to process virtual payments through credit cards if a user does not have a PayPal account. A PayPal account is managed via an email address, which is why there are no classic account numbers. PayPal makes it possible to trigger online payments to third parties or to receive payments. PayPal also accepts trustee functions and offers buyer protection services.

The European operating company of PayPal is PayPal (Europe) S.à.r.l. & Cie. S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, 2449 Luxembourg, Luxembourg.

If the data subject chooses "PayPal" as the payment option during the ordering process in our online shop, data of the data subject will be automatically transmitted to PayPal. By selecting this payment option, the data subject agrees to the transfer of personal data required for payment processing.

The personal data transmitted to PayPal is usually first name, last name , address, email address, IP address, telephone number, mobile phone number, or other data necessary for payment processing. The transmission of the data is intended for payment processing and fraud prevention. The data controller will provide PayPal with personal data, in particular if there is a legitimate interest in the transfer. The personal data exchanged between PayPal and the data controller may be transmitted by PayPal to credit reporting agencies. This transmission is intended for identity and creditworthiness checks.

PayPal will, if necessary, pass on personal data to affiliates and service providers or subcontractors to the extent that this is necessary to fulfill contractual obligations or for data to be processed on behalf of PayPal.

The data subject has the possibility to revoke their consent to the handling of personal data at any time from PayPal. A revocation shall not have any effect on personal data which must be processed, used, or transmitted in accordance with (contractual) payment processing.

16. Payment Method: Privacy Policy for Sofortüberweisung as a Payment Option

The data controller has integrated components of Sofortüberweisung on this website. Sofortüberweisung is a payment service that allows cashless payment of products and services on the Internet. Sofortüberweisung represents a technical process by which the online retailer immediately receives a payment confirmation. This enables a trader to deliver goods, services, or downloads to the customer immediately after ordering.

The operating company of Sofortüberweisung is SOFORT GmbH, Fußbergstraße 1, 82131 Gauting, Germany.

If the data subject selects "Sofortüberweisung" as the payment option during the order process in our online shop, data of the data subject will be automatically transmitted to Sofortüberweisung. By selecting this payment option, the data subject agrees to the transfer of personal data required for payment processing.

When making purchases through Sofortüberweisung, the buyer transfers the PIN and TAN to Sofort GmbH. Sofortüberweisung then carries out a technical check of the account balance and retrieval of further data for checking the account cover. After a successful technical check and retrieval of further data, Sofortüberweisung transfers to the online retailer without delay. The execution of the financial transaction is communicated to the online retailer promptly.

The personal data exchanged with Sofortüberweisung is the first name, last name, address, email address, IP address, telephone number, mobile phone number, or other data necessary for payment processing. The transmission of data is intended for payment processing and fraud prevention. The data controller will provide Sofortüberweisung with other personal data even if there is a legitimate interest in the transmission.

Sofortüberweisung may transfer the personal data to affiliates and service providers or subcontractors if this is necessary to fulfill contractual obligations or for data to be processed on behalf of Sofortüberweisung.

The data subject has the possibility to revoke their consent to the handling of personal data at any time to Sofortüberweisung. A revocation shall not have any effect on personal data which must be processed, used, or transmitted in accordance with (contractual) payment processing.

17. Legal Basis for Processing

Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for 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 the data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations necessary for the supply of goods or the provision of other services or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6(1) lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation by which processing of personal data is required, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6(1) lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the 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 a visitor were injured in our company and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6(1) lit. d GDPR.

18. Legitimate Interests in Processing Pursued by the Controller or a Third Party

If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR, our legitimate interest is the conduct of our business activities for the benefit of all our employees and shareholders.

19. Duration for Which the Personal Data Is Stored

The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After the expiration of that period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, as long as it is no longer necessary for the fulfillment of the contract or the initiation of a contract.

20. Legal or Contractual Requirements for the Provision of Personal Data; Necessity for the Conclusion of the Contract; Obligation of the Data Subject to Provide the Personal Data; Possible Consequences of Failure to Provide

We inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g., tax regulations) or can also result from contractual provisions (e.g., information on the contractual partner). Sometimes it may be necessary to conclude a contract that the data subject provides us with personal data that must subsequently be processed by us. The data subject is, for example, obliged to provide us with personal data when our company signs a contract with them. The non-provision of the personal data would have the consequence that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee clarifies to the data subject whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and the consequences of non-provision of the personal data.

21. Existence of Automated Decision-Making

As a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision-making or profiling.
