These objects store the required data regardless of the browser you use and do not have an automatic expiry date. If you do not wish to allow processing of Flash cookies, you must install the appropriate add-on, e.g. “Better Privacy” for Mozilla Firefox (https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/betterprivacy/) or Adobe Flash Cookie Killer for Google Chrome. You can prevent the use of HTML5 storage objects by setting your browser to private mode. We also recommend regularly deleting your cookies and browser history manually.

(2) Where we base the processing of your personal data on the balance of interests, you can submit an objection to data processing. This is the case in particular if the processing is not required to fulfil a contract with you; this is explained below in the description of the functions.

Special products and services on the website

Newsletter

(1) With your consent, you can subscribe to our newsletter, which we will use to inform you about our current products and services that might interest you. The services that are promoted are listed in the declaration of consent.
(2) We use the ‘double-opt-in process’ for subscriptions to our newsletter. This means we send you an email to the email address you submitted when you subscribed, in which we ask for confirmation that you wish to receive the newsletter. If you do not confirm your subscription within 24 hours, your information will be blocked and automatically deleted after one month. In addition, we will store your assigned IP addresses and the times of application and confirmation. The purpose of this process is to keep evidence of your subscription and to expose any abuse of your personal data, should this become necessary.
(3) The only piece of your information that is required to subscribe to our newsletter is your email address. The submission of other, specially marked data is voluntary and will be used to contact you personally. After confirmation from you, we will store your email address for the purpose of sending the newsletter. The legal basis for this is article 6 paragraph 1 page 1 lit. a GDPR.
(4) You can withdraw your consent to receiving the newsletter at any time and unsubscribe from the newsletter. You can submit this withdrawal by clicking on the link provided in each newsletter email to send an email to “newsletter(at)schoen-kliniken.de” or in writing using the contact information given in the Imprint section.
(5) Please be advised that we analyse your user behaviour when we send you our newsletter. For the purpose of this analysis, the emails we send contain ‘web beacons’ and tracking pixels, which are single-pixel image files that are stored on our website. For this analysis, we link the data listed in section 3 and the web beacons with your email address and an individual ID. Links contained in the newsletter also contain this ID. This data is collected in pseudonymised form only; this means the IDs are not linked to any other personal data of yours and it is impossible to link it to you directly. You can withdraw permission for this tracking by clicking on the special link provided in each email or by informing us using another method of contact. The information is stored for as long as you are subscribed to the newsletter. After you unsubscribe, we will store the data anonymously for statistical purposes.

2. Use of social media plug-ins

(1) We currently use the following social media plug-ins: Facebook, Google+, Twitter.

(2) Neither do we have any influence on the data collected or the data processing procedures nor are we aware of the full extent of the data collection, purposes of processing or storage periods. We also have no information regarding deletion of the data collected by the plug-in provider.

(3) The plug-in provider stores the data collected about you as a user profile and uses this for the purposes of marketing, market research and/or the needs-based design of their website. This analysis is performed (even for users who are not logged in) in particular for the purpose of displaying relevant advertisements and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles; to exercise this right, you must contact the relevant plug-in provider. We offer you the opportunity to interact with the social networks and other users via the plug-ins, so that we can improve our products and services and continue to develop them in a way that is interesting for you as a user. The legal basis for the use of plug-ins is art. 6 paragraph 1 page 1 lit f. GDPR.

(4) Data will be passed on regardless of whether you have an account with the plug-in provider and are logged in. If you are logged in with the plug-in provider, the data we have collected about you will be directly matched to your existing account with the plug-in provider. If you press the activated button and link to the site, for example, the plug-in provider will store this information in your user account as well and will share it publicly with your contacts. We recommend logging out of social networks regularly after using them, but especially before using the button, in order to avoid being matched to your profile by the plug-in provider in this way.
