3. General information and mandatory information

Data protection

The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is information that can be used to identify you personally. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and how we use it. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.

Please note that data transmission over the internet (e.g. when communicating by email) may be vulnerable to security breaches. It is not possible to guarantee complete protection of data against access by third parties.

Information regarding the data controller

The data controller for this website is:

Private medical practice
Dr. Dr. Bettina Beyreuther
Specialist in Neurology
Nord Carree 9
40477 Düsseldorf

Telephone: 0211 – 48464444
E-Mail: info@neurologie-nordcarree.de

The controller is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g. names, email addresses, etc.).

Retention period

Unless a more specific retention period is stated in this privacy policy, we will retain your personal data until the purpose for which it is processed no longer applies. If you submit a valid request for erasure or withdraw your consent to data processing, your data will be erased unless we have other legally permissible grounds for storing your personal data (e.g. retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, erasure will take place once these grounds no longer apply.

General information on the legal basis for data processing on this website

Where you have consented to the processing of your data, we process your personal data on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) of the GDPR, where special categories of data as defined in Article 9(1) of the GDPR are processed. In the event of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also carried out on the basis of Article 49(1)(a) of the GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to access to information on your device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), data processing is additionally carried out on the basis of Section 25(1) of the German Telemedia Act (TTDSG). Consent may be withdrawn at any time. If your data is required for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data where this is necessary to comply with a legal obligation on the basis of Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR. Data processing may also take place on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The relevant legal bases in each individual case are set out in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.

Among other things, we use tools provided by companies based in the USA or other third countries that do not offer an adequate level of data protection. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these third countries and processed there. Please note that these countries cannot guarantee a level of data protection comparable to that in the EU. For example, US companies are obliged to disclose personal data to security authorities without you, as the data subject, being able to take legal action against this. It cannot therefore be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. intelligence services) may process, analyse and permanently store your data held on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence over these processing activities.

Withdrawal of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may withdraw any consent you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out prior to the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

Right to object to data collection in specific cases and to direct marketing (Article 21 of the GDPR)

IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ARTICLE 6(1)( E OR F OF THE GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. YOU CAN FIND THE RELEVANT LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA, UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING IS NECESSARY FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT, , exercise or defence of legal claims (objection pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS BEING PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR SUCH MARKETING PURPOSES; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING, INSOFAR AS IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to lodge a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority

In the event of infringements of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, their place of work or the place where the alleged infringement occurred. This right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data portability

You have the right to receive data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract, either for yourself or for a third party, in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only take place to the extent that it is technically feasible.

Access, erasure and rectification

In accordance with the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain, free of charge, information about your stored personal data, its source and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing, and, where applicable, the right to have this data corrected or erased. You may contact us at any time regarding this matter or any other questions you may have about personal data.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted. You may contact us at any time to do so. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:

  • If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data held by us, we will generally need time to verify this. For the duration of this verification, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.
  • If your personal data has been or is being processed unlawfully, you may request that the processing of your data be restricted instead of it being erased.
  • If we no longer require your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted instead of it being erased.
  • If you have lodged an objection under Article 21(1) of the GDPR, a balancing of interests between yours and ours must be carried out. Until it has been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data may – apart from storage – only be processed with your consent, or for the purpose of establishing, exercising or defending legal claims, or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

SSL or TLS encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential information, such as orders or enquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address bar of your browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the padlock symbol in your browser bar.

If SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, the data you send to us cannot be intercepted by third parties.

Cookies

Our website uses so-called ‘cookies’. Cookies are small data packets that do not cause any damage to your device. They are stored on your device either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or they are automatically deleted by your web browser.

In some cases, cookies from third-party companies may also be stored on your device when you visit our website (third-party cookies). These enable us or you to use certain services provided by the third-party company (e.g. cookies for processing payment services).

Cookies serve various purposes. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. the shopping basket function or the display of videos). Other cookies are used to analyse user behaviour or to display advertisements.

Cookies that are necessary for the execution of the electronic communication process, for the provision of specific functions you have requested (e.g. the shopping basket function) or for the optimisation of the website (e.g. cookies for measuring website traffic) (necessary cookies), are stored on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies to ensure the technically flawless and optimised provision of its services. Where consent has been sought for the storage of cookies and similar recognition technologies, processing takes place exclusively on the basis of this consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and Section 25(1) of the TTDSG); consent may be withdrawn at any time.

You can configure your browser to notify you when cookies are set and to allow cookies only on a case-by-case basis, to block cookies in specific cases or generally, and to enable the automatic deletion of cookies when you close your browser. If you disable cookies, the functionality of this website may be limited.

Where cookies from third parties or for analytical purposes are used, we will inform you of this separately within this privacy policy and, where necessary, seek your consent.

  • Browser type and browser version
  • operating system used
  • Referrer URL
  • Hostname of the connecting computer
  • Time of the server request

Contact form

If you send us enquiries via the contact form, we will store the information you provide in the form, including your contact details, for the purpose of processing your enquiry and in case we need to follow up with further questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, provided that your enquiry relates to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of enquiries addressed to us (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR) or on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR) where this has been requested; consent may be withdrawn at any time.

The data you enter in the contact form will be retained by us until you request its deletion, withdraw your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. once your enquiry has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.

Enquiries by email, telephone or fax

If you contact us by email, telephone or fax, your enquiry, including all personal data contained therein (name, enquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of dealing with your request. We will not pass on this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, provided that your enquiry relates to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.

Jameda / Integration of the seal and widget

Our website features badges or widgets provided by jameda GmbH, Balanstr. 71a, 81541 Munich. A widget is a small window that displays changing information. Our seal works in a similar way; that is, it does not always look the same, but the display changes regularly. Although the relevant content is displayed on our website, it is retrieved from the jameda servers at that moment. This is the only way to ensure that the most up-to-date content is always displayed, particularly the current rating. To do this, a data connection must be established between this website and jameda, and jameda receives certain technical data (date and time of the visit; the page from which the request is made; the Internet Protocol (IP) address used; browser type and version; device type; operating system; and similar technical information) that is necessary for the content to be delivered. However, this data is used solely for the provision of the content and is not stored or used for any other purpose. When displaying content, such as the jameda seals and other widgets, jameda uses so-called content delivery networks to ensure the availability of the content. In this context, data is also transferred to third countries. jameda fully complies with the legal requirements of the GDPR in this regard. Our purpose and legitimate interest in this integration is to display up-to-date and accurate content on our website. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. We do not store the aforementioned data as a result of this integration. Further information on data processing by jameda can be found in the website’s privacy policy. https://www.jameda.de/jameda/datenschutz.php entnehmen.

Google Maps

This site uses the Google Maps mapping service. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

In order to use the features of Google Maps, it is necessary to store your IP address. This information is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The provider of this website has no influence over this data transmission. When Google Maps is enabled, Google may use Google Fonts to ensure consistent font display. When you access Google Maps, your browser loads the required web fonts into its cache to display text and fonts correctly.

We use Google Maps to ensure our online services are presented in an appealing way and to make it easy for users to find the locations listed on our website. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. Where consent has been sought, processing takes place exclusively on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and Section 25(1) of the TTDSG, insofar as the consent covers the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. Consent may be withdrawn at any time.

Data transfers to the USA are based on the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses. Further details can be found here: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/gdprcontrollerterms/ und https://privacy.google.com/businesses/gdprcontrollerterms/sccs/.
