2. Privacy Statement
as of Nov. 10th 2021
This data protection declaration informs you about the type, scope and purpose of the processing of personal data (hereinafter referred to as “data”) within the scope of the provision of our services as well as within our online offer and the related websites, functions and content and external online presences, such as our social media profiles (hereinafter jointly referred to as “online offer”). With regard to the terms used, such as “processing” or “person responsible”, we refer to the definitions in Art. 4 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

- What is personal data?
Personal data is any information that relates to an identified or identifiable natural person. The decisive factor is therefore whether the data collected can be related to a person. This includes information such as your name, address, telephone number and e‑mail address. Information that is not directly related to your real identity — such as favourite websites or the number of users of a site — is not personal data.
- How we collect or process personal data
For the purpose of system security, if you visit our website, our web servers temporarily store the connection data of the used computer, the web pages you visit on our website, the date and duration of the visit, the identification data of the browser and operating system type used as well as the website from which you visit us. Additional personal information such as your name, address, telephone number or e‑mail address is not collected unless you provide this information voluntarily, e.g. as part of a registration, a survey, a competition, for the performance of a contract or a request for information.
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. E‑mails are 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 is transmitted unencrypted.
We use the personal data you provide exclusively for the purpose of the technical administration of the websites and to fulfil your wishes and requirements, i.e. generally to process the contract concluded with you or to answer your enquiry.
We also use this data for product-related surveys, marketing purposes and statistical purposes only if you have given us your prior consent or if you have not objected — insofar as this is provided for by legal regulations.
Your personal data will not be passed on, sold or otherwise transferred to third parties unless this is necessary for the purpose of processing the contract or if you have given your explicit consent.
Consent given can be revoked at any time with future effect.
- How long will your data be stored?
In principle, we store all the information you send us until the respective, e.g. contractual, purpose has been fulfilled. E.g. in the case of enquiries until they have been dealt with, in the case of newsletters until you unsubscribe from the newsletter. If longer storage is provided for by law, the data will be stored within this framework.
If you no longer wish for us to use your data, we will of course comply with this request immediately. You can contact us at any time via the email-address dsb@med.uni-tuebingen.de.
When you visit our website, we use so-called cookies. These are small text files that are stored on your computer. Cookies help us to determine the frequency of use and the number of users of our Internet pages, as well as to make our offers as convenient and efficient as possible for you.
On the one hand, we use so-called “session cookies”, which are temporarily stored exclusively for the duration of your use of one of our Internet pages. On the other hand, we use “permanent cookies” to record information about visitors who repeatedly access one of our Internet pages. The purpose of using these cookies is to be able to offer you an optimal user experience as well as to “recognise” you and to be able to present you with the most varied website and new content possible during repeated use. The content of a permanent cookie is limited to an identification number. Name, IP address etc. are not stored. An individual profile of your usage behaviour does not take place.
It is also possible to use our offers without cookies. You can deactivate the storage of cookies in your browser, limit it to certain websites or set your browser to notify you as soon as a cookie is sent. Please note, however, that if you deactivate cookies, you might have access only to a restricted display of the page and with a restricted user guidance.
Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions that you have requested (e.g. shopping cart function) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimised provision of its services. Insofar as other cookies (e.g. cookies to analyse your surfing behaviour) are stored, these are dealt with separately in this data protection declaration.
- When will your data be deleted
Stored personal data will be deleted if you withdraw your consent to storage, if knowledge of the data is no longer required to fulfil 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 deletion request.
This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries that you send to us as site operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.
If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
If you wish to contact our company by 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 read by third parties. We therefore recommend that you send us confidential information exclusively by post.
- These are your data protection rights
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to request information about your stored personal data, their origin and possible recipients and the purpose of the data processing (Art. 15 GDPR) and, if applicable, the right to correct incorrect data (Art. 16 GDPR), delete this data (Art. 17 GDPR), the right to restrict processing in accordance with Art. 18 GDPR, to object (Art. 21 GDPR) and the right to data portability of data provided by you in accordance with Art. 20 GDPR). The restrictions according to §§ 34 and 35 BDSG apply to the right to information and the right to deletion.
In addition, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority in the event of a breach of data protection law (Art. 77 GDPR in conjunction with §19 BDSG). The relevant supervisory authority in matters of data protection law is the State Data Protection Commissioner of the federal state in which our company is based. A list of the 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 your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke consent you have already given 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
If you have any questions, complaints or wish to assert your data protection rights, you can contact us at any time via the email info@sectio-chirurgica.de.
- Changes to the privacy policy
Changes may be made to this data protection notice, which will be announced on this page in good time.
Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing operations involving personal data, Article 6 (1a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.
When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 (1b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures.
Insofar as processing of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 (1c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person make processing of personal data necessary, Art. 6 (1d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
If the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 (1f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing. Legitimate interests include, in particular, ensuring the operation and security of the website, investigating the way visitors use the website and simplifying the use of the website.
- Registration
The data subject has the possibility to register on the website of the person responsible by providing personal data. Which personal data is transmitted to the person responsible in the process is determined by the respective input mask used for the registration. The personal data entered by the data subject are collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the controller and for its own purposes. The controller may arrange for the data to be transferred to one or more processors, for example a parcel service provider, who will also use the personal data exclusively for an internal use attributable to the controller.
By registering on the website of the controller, the IP address assigned by the internet service provider (ISP) of the data subject, the date as well as the time of registration are also stored. The storage of this data takes place against the background that only in this way can the misuse of our services be prevented and, if necessary, this data makes it possible to clarify criminal offences and copyright infringements that have been committed. In this respect, the storage of this data is necessary for the protection of the data controller. As a matter of principle, this data is not disclosed to third parties unless there is a legal obligation to disclose it or the disclosure serves criminal or legal prosecution purposes.
The registration of the data subject by voluntarily providing personal data serves the purpose of the controller to offer the data subject content or services which, due to the nature of the matter, can only be offered to registered users. Furthermore, the registration of the data subject (in the data protection declaration generator) serves to monitor the use of the texts issued by us and protected by copyright, as well as to check the setting of links and the naming of authors, as well as for our own documentation purposes. In addition, we use the data collected via the data protection declaration generator for customer acquisition, in particular for contacting you by telephone and sending you advertising by post and e‑mail. Registered persons are free to have the personal data provided during registration completely deleted from the data stock of the controller.
The controller shall provide any data subject at any time, upon request, with information on what personal data is stored about the data subject. Furthermore, the controller shall correct or delete personal data at the request or indication of the data subject, provided that this does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations. The data protection officer named in this data protection declaration and the entire staff of the controller are available to the data subject as contact persons in this context.
