The use of the "INST - Institut für neuromodulative Schmerztherapie" website is generally possible without any indication of personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to use special services of our company via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.

3. Cookies

The websites of the "INST - Institut für neuromodulative Schmerztherapie" use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored and saved on a computer system via an internet browser.
Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string of characters through which websites and servers can be assigned to the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows visited websites and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific internet browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID. By using cookies, "INST - Institut für neuromodulative Schmerztherapie" can provide more user-friendly services to the users of this website that would not be possible without setting the cookie. By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized in the interest of the user. As already mentioned, cookies enable us to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter his access data each time he visits the website, as this is done 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 shop remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie. The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, already set cookies can 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

With each visit to the website by a data subject or an automated system, the "INST - Institut für neuromodulative Schmerztherapie" website collects a range of general data and information. This general data and information is stored in the server's log files. These can be (1) the browser types and versions 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-pages which 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 in the event of attacks on our information technology systems. When using this general data and information, the "INST - Institut für neuromodulative Schmerztherapie" does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) correctly deliver the contents of our website, (2) optimize the content of our website and the advertising for it, (3) ensure the long-term viability of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the necessary information for prosecution in the event of a cyber attack. These anonymously collected data and information are therefore statistically evaluated by the "INST - Institut für neuromodulative Schmerztherapie" on the one hand, and further 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 opportunity to register on the website of the data controller by providing personal data. The personal data that is transmitted to the data controller depends on the respective input mask that is used for registration. The personal data entered by the data subject are collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the data controller, and for his own purposes. The data controller may arrange for the data to be transferred to one or more processors, such as a parcel service provider, who also uses the personal data for use attributable to the data controller. By registering on the data controller's website, the IP address assigned by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) of the data subject, the date, and time of registration are also stored. This data is stored against the background that this is the only way to prevent misuse of our services, and this data makes it possible to investigate committed offenses. In this respect, the storage of this data is necessary to secure the data controller. As a principle, this data is not passed on to third parties unless there is a legal obligation to pass on the data or the transfer serves the purpose 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 can only be offered to registered users due to the nature of the matter. Registered persons are free to modify the personal data provided during registration at any time, or to have them completely deleted from the database of the data controller. The data controller shall, at any time upon request, provide information to each data subject as to what personal data is stored about the data subject. Furthermore, the data controller shall correct or delete personal data at the request or indication of the data subject, insofar as there are no statutory storage obligations. A total of employees of the data controller are available to the data subject as contact persons in this context.

6. Contact possibility via the website

The website of "INST - Institut für neuromodulative Schmerztherapie" contains information required by law, which 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 (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the data controller by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject are automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the data controller are stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. There is no transfer of this personal data to third parties.

7. Routine erasure and blocking of personal data

The data controller shall process and store the personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or as far as this is granted by the European legislator or other legislators in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject to.

Taking into account the purposes of the processing, the data subject shall have the right to have incomplete personal data completed, including by means of providing a supplementary statement. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller.
d) Right to erasure (Right to be forgotten)
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay, and the controller shall have the obligation to erase personal data without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies, as long as the processing is not necessary:
The personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed. The data subject withdraws consent to which the processing is based according to point (a) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR, or point (a) of Article 9(2) of the GDPR, and where there is no other legal ground for the processing. The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) of the GDPR. The personal data have been unlawfully processed. The personal data must be erased for compliance with a legal obligation in Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject. The personal data have been collected in relation to the offer of information society services referred to in Article 8(1) of the GDPR. If one of the aforementioned reasons applies, and a data subject wishes to request the erasure of personal data stored by the "INST - Institut für neuromodulative Schmerztherapie", he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller. An employee of "INST - Institut für neuromodulative Schmerztherapie" shall promptly ensure that the erasure request is complied with immediately. Where the controller has made personal data public and is obliged pursuant to Article 17(1) to erase the personal data, the controller, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform other controllers processing the personal data that the data subject has requested erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data, as far as processing is not required. An employee of "INST - Institut für neuromodulative Schmerztherapie" will arrange the necessary measures in individual cases.
e) Right to restriction of processing
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller restriction of processing where one of the following applies: The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data. The processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests instead the restriction of their use instead. The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but they are required by the data subject for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject. If one of the aforementioned conditions is met, and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of the processing of personal data stored by the "INST - Institut für neuromodulative Schmerztherapie", he or she may at any time contact any employee of the controller. The employee of the "INST - Institut für neuromodulative Schmerztherapie" will arrange the restriction of the processing.
f) Right to data portability
Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator of directives and regulations to obtain personal data concerning them, which they have provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. They also have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data has been provided, provided that the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, and the processing is carried out using automated procedures, provided that the processing is not necessary for the performance of a task in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority transferred to the controller. Furthermore, when exercising their right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20 para. 1 GDPR, the data subject has the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, insofar as this is technically feasible and provided that the rights and freedoms of other persons are not affected. To assert the right to data portability, the data subject can contact a "INST - Institut für neuromodulative Schmerztherapie" employee at any time.
g) Right to object
Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator of directives and regulations, to object at any time, for reasons arising from their particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning them, which is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e or f GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The "INST - Institut für neuromodulative Schmerztherapie" will no longer process the personal data in the event of an objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that outweigh the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing is for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims. If the "INST - Institut für neuromodulative Schmerztherapie" processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data for the purpose of such advertising. This also applies to profiling, insofar as it is related to such direct advertising.

Furthermore, the data subject is free, in connection with the use of information society services, regardless of Directive 2002/58/EC, to exercise their right to object by means of automated procedures using technical specifications.
h) Automated decisions in individual cases including profiling
Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator of directives and regulations, not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing - including profiling - which produces legal effects concerning them or similarly significantly affects them, provided that the decision (1) is not necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is permissible by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject, and that law contains appropriate measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms and legitimate interests of the data subject, or (3) is done with the express consent of the data subject. If the decision (1) is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller or (2) is made with the express consent of the data subject, the "INST - Institut für neuromodulative Schmerztherapie" takes appropriate measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms and legitimate interests of the data subject, which includes at least the right to obtain the intervention of a person by the controller, to express their own point of view and to contest the decision.

9. Data Protection for Applications and the Application Process

The person responsible for processing collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of handling the application process. The processing can also be done electronically. This is particularly the case when an applicant submits corresponding application documents electronically, for example by e-mail or via a web form located on the website, to the person responsible for processing. If the person responsible for processing concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with legal regulations. If the person responsible for processing does not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after notification of the rejection decision, unless deletion is opposed by other legitimate interests of the person responsible for processing. Another legitimate interest in this context is, for example, a burden of proof in a procedure under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

10. Privacy Policy for Use and Application of Facebook

The person responsible for processing has integrated components of the company Facebook on this website. Facebook is a social network. A social network is an online meeting place, an online community, which usually allows users to communicate with each other and interact in virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for the exchange of opinions and experiences or allows the Internet community to provide personal or business-related information. Facebook allows users of the social network to create private profiles, upload photos and network through friend requests. The operator of Facebook is Meta Platforms, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. The controller for the processing of personal data, if a data subject lives outside the US or Canada, is Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland. Every time one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the person responsible for processing and on which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) has been integrated, is called up, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Facebook component to download a representation of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook. An overview of all Facebook plugins can be accessed at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=en_US. As part of this technical process, Facebook becomes aware of which specific sub-page of our website is visited by the data subject. If the data subject is logged into Facebook at the same time, Facebook recognizes every time our website is called up by the data subject and for the entire duration of the respective stay on our website, which specific sub-page of our website the data subject visits. This information is collected by the Facebook component and associated with the respective Facebook account of the data subject by Facebook. If the data subject clicks one of the Facebook buttons integrated on our website, for example the "Like" button, or if the data subject submits a comment, Facebook assigns this information to the personal Facebook user account of the data subject and stores this personal data. Facebook always receives information via the Facebook component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is logged into Facebook at the same time as calling up our website; this takes place regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Facebook component or not. If such transmission of this information to Facebook is not desired by the data subject, they can prevent the transmission by logging out of their Facebook account before calling up our website. The data policy published by Facebook, which can be accessed at https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/ , provides information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by Facebook. It also explains what setting options Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the data subject. In addition, various applications are available that make it possible to suppress data transmission to Facebook. Such applications can be used by the data subject to suppress data transmission to Facebook.

11. Data Protection Regulations for the Use and Implementation of Google Analytics (with Anonymization Function)

The controller responsible for processing has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymization function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analysis service. Web analysis is the collection, compilation, and evaluation of data on the behavior of visitors to websites. Among other things, a web analysis service collects data on which website a person concerned came to a website from (so-called referrers), which subpages of the website were accessed or how often and for what duration a subpage was viewed. Web analysis is mainly used for the optimization of a website and for the cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising. The operator company of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA. The controller responsible for processing uses the "_gat._anonymizeIp" addition for web analysis via Google Analytics. By means of this addition, Google shortens and anonymizes the IP address of the Internet connection of the person concerned when accessing our websites from a member state of the European Union or from another contracting state of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze the flow of visitors to our website. Among other things, Google uses the data and information obtained to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports for us showing the activities on our websites, and to provide other services related to the use of our website. Google Analytics places a cookie on the information technology system of the person concerned. What cookies are has already been explained above. By setting the cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the use of our website. Each time one of the individual pages of this website, operated by the controller responsible for processing and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, is accessed, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the person concerned is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for online analysis purposes. In the course of this technical procedure, Google becomes aware of personal data, such as the IP address of the person concerned, which, among other things, Google uses to track the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently enable commission settlements. 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 by the person concerned. Each time our websites are visited, these personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the person concerned, are transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may disclose personal data collected through this technical process to third parties. The person concerned can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as already described above, at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the used Internet browser would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the person concerned. In addition, a cookie set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs. Furthermore, the person concerned has the possibility to object to the collection of data generated by Google Analytics relating to the use of this website as well as the processing of these data by Google and to prevent such. For this, the person concerned must download and install a browser add-on under the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information about visits to websites may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered a contradiction by Google. If the information technology system of the person concerned is deleted, formatted, or reinstalled at a later time, the person concerned must reinstall the browser add-on to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the person concerned or another person who is attributable to their sphere of power, it is possible to reinstall or reactivate the browser add-on. Further information and Google's applicable data protection regulations can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and at https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html. Google Analytics is explained in more detail under this link https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/.

12. Privacy Policy on the Use and Application of Google Ads

The data controller has integrated Google Ads on this website. Google Ads is an internet advertising service that allows advertisers to place ads in Google's search engine results and on the Google advertising network. Google Ads allows an advertiser to predefine certain keywords, by which an ad will only be displayed in Google's search engine results when the user retrieves a keyword-relevant search result with the search engine. In the Google advertising network, the ads are distributed on topic-relevant websites by means of an automatic algorithm and taking into account the previously defined keywords. The operator of Google Ads services is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA. The purpose of Google Ads is to promote our website by displaying interest-relevant advertising on third-party websites and in Google's search engine results, and to display third-party advertising on our website. If a person affected arrives at our website via a Google ad, a so-called conversion cookie is placed on the affected person's information technology system by Google. What cookies are has already been explained above. A conversion cookie loses its validity after thirty days and is not used to identify the affected person. If the cookie has not yet expired, the conversion cookie is used to track whether certain sub-pages, such as the shopping cart of an online shop system, have been accessed on our website. The conversion cookie enables us, and Google, to determine whether a person affected who has accessed our website via an Ads ad has generated revenue, i.e., made or cancelled a purchase. The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie is used by Google to create visit statistics for our website. We, in turn, use these visit statistics to determine the total number of users who were referred to us via Ads ads, i.e., to determine the success or failure of the respective Ads ad, and to optimize our Ads ads for the future. Neither our company nor other advertising customers of Google Ads receive information from Google that could identify the affected person. The conversion cookie is used to store personal information, such as the websites visited by the affected person. Thus, every time our websites are visited, personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the affected person, is transferred to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may disclose the personal data collected through the technical process to third parties. The person affected can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time, as already explained above, by means of an appropriate setting of the internet browser used, and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a conversion cookie on the affected person's information technology system. In addition, a cookie set by Google Ads can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs. Furthermore, the person concerned has the possibility to object to interest-related advertising by Google. To do this, the person concerned must call up the link www.google.de/settings/ads from each of the internet browsers she uses and make the desired settings there. Further information and Google's applicable privacy policy can be accessed at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

14. Privacy Policy on the Use and Implementation of Wipe Analytics

The controller responsible for processing has integrated components of the company Wipe Analytics on this website. Wipe Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analytics is the collection, compilation and evaluation of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analytics service collects, among other things, data about which website a person concerned has come from (so-called referrer), which subpages of the website were accessed or how often and for how long a subpage was viewed. Web analytics is primarily used to optimize a website and for cost-benefit analysis of online advertising. The operating company of Wipe Analytics is TENSQUARE GmbH, Wilhelminenstr. 29, 45881 Gelsenkirchen, Germany. Wipe Analytics sets a cookie on the information technology system of the person concerned. What cookies are has already been explained above. With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller responsible for processing and on which a Wipe Analytics component has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the person concerned is automatically caused by the respective Wipe Analytics component to transmit data to Wipe Analytics for marketing and optimization purposes. As part of this technical process, Wipe Analytics becomes aware of data that is subsequently used to create pseudonymous user profiles. The user profiles thus obtained serve to analyze the behavior of the person concerned who has accessed the website of the controller responsible for processing and are evaluated with the aim of improving and optimizing the website.

18. Legal basis for processing

Art. 6 I lit. a DS-GVO serves our company 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 party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations that are necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of any other service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. b DS-GVO. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation by which the processing of personal data is required, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c DS-GVO. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may become 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 to our premises were injured and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, a hospital or other third parties. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6 I lit. d DS-GVO. Finally, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f DS-GVO. This legal basis is used for processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal grounds, if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject. Such processing operations are particularly permissible because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. He considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a client of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 DS-GVO).

19. Legitimate interests pursued by the controller or a third party

If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I lit. f DS-GVO, our legitimate interest is to carry out our business in favor of the well-being of all our employees and the shareholders.

20. Period for which the personal data will be stored

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

21. Provision of personal data as statutory or contractual requirement; Requirement necessary to enter into a contract; Obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of failure to provide such data

We clarify 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, which 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 him or her. 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 any employee. The 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.

22. Existence of automated decision-making

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