1. General Information on Data Processing

Scope of personal data processing
We process any personal data disclosed to us by our users only in so far as required for providing a working website as well as that of our content as services. Any processing of personal data of our users regularly only takes place after their consent was obtained. An exception applies in those cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for real reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.

Legal basis for processing of personal data
Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 (1) a GDPR as the legal basis.

In the processing of personal data required for the performance of a contract of which the data subject is a contacting party, Art. 6 (1) b GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures.

Insofar as the processing of personal data is required to fulfil a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 (1) d GDPR serves as the legal basis.

In case that vital interests of the concerned person or another natural person necessitate the processing of personal data, Art. 6 (1) f GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If the processing is required for safeguarding the legitimate interest of our company or that of a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 (1) f GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing.

Duration of storage

The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. Besides, data may be stored if this has thus been provided for by European or national legislators in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the responsible party is subject.

Data shall also be blocked or deleted in cases when a storage period- stipulated by any of the standards mentioned before expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract.

2. Collection & Processing of Personal Data When Visiting Our Website

With every visit of our website, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the calling computer. We only collect the personal data such as log data that your browser transmits to our server, which are technically necessary for us to display our website to you and to guarantee stability and security.

When you visit our website, we store certain information as follows:
• Information on the used browser, browser version and operating system
• Information on the service provider
• Information on the IP- address
• Information on the date and time of the visit
• Information on the websites from which the user’s system accessed our website
• Information on the websites the user access via our website

These data are also stored in the log files of our system. There is no joint storage of such data together with other personal data of the user.

Legal basis

The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Art. 6 (1) f GDPR.

Purpose of data processing

The temporary storage of an IP address by the system is necessary to display our website and set up its content. For this purpose, the user’s IP address must be stored for the duration of the session. Furthermore, the data serves to optimize the website and to guarantee the stability and security. No evaluation of the data for marketing purposes is taking place in this context.

Duration of storage

The data is deleted as soon as it has served the purpose of collection. After the termination of the session, the data will not be saved any longer or will be erased 14 days at the latest.

Option of objection and deletion

The collection of data for providing the website and the storage of such data in log files is indispensable for operating the website. Consequently, there is no possibility of objection on the part of the user.

3. Cookies

Our website uses so-called “cookies”. Cookies are small text files and do not cause any damage to your device. They are stored either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies) on your end device. Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your end device until you delete them yourself or until 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 enter our site (third-party cookies). These enable us or you to use certain services of the third-party company.

Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (essential cookies). Other cookies are non-essential and used to evaluate user behavior (statistic cookies) or to display advertising (marketing cookies).

Cookies that are necessary to carry out the electronic communication process (essential cookies) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free provision of its services. If consent to store cookies has been requested, the cookies in question are stored exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6 (1) a) GDPR); consent can be revoked at any time.

Statistic and marketing cookies are only activated if there is consent from the website visitor within the cookie banner for this (Art. 6 (1) a) GDPR).

When calling up our website, users are informed by an info banner about the use of non-essential cookies and referred to this privacy policy. The use of non-essential cookies only takes place with the consent of the user in accordance with Art. 6 (1) a) GDPR by consent in the cookie banner. You can revoke your consent at any time by setting the non-essential cookies to inactive in the cookie setting.

3.1. Analysis Tools & Third-party Tools

a) Google Analytics

For the purpose of demand-oriented design and continuous optimization of our pages, we use Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, for customizing and optimizing our website by analyzing the user’s activity. The legal basis for this is your consent in the cookie banner according to Art. 6 (1) a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time by setting the cookies to inactive in the cookie setting.

In this context, pseudonymized usage profiles are created and cookies are used. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website such as

– browser type/version,
– operating system used,
– referrer URL (the previously visited page),
– host name of the accessing computer (IP address),
– time of the server request,

are transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The information is used to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website and internet use for the purposes of market research and demand-oriented design of these web pages. This information may also be transferred to third parties if this is required by law or if third parties process this data on our behalf. Under no circumstances will your IP address be merged with other Google data. The IP addresses are anonymized so that an assignment is not possible (IP masking).

You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing a browser add-on (a href=”https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de “https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de).

As an alternative to the browser add-on, especially with browsers on mobile devices, you can also prevent the collection by Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser-Add-on. An opt-out cookie will be set, which prevents the future collection of your data when visiting this website. The opt-out cookie is only valid in this browser and only for our website and is stored on your device. If you delete the cookies in this browser, you must set the opt-out cookie again.

Further information on data protection in connection with Google Analytics can be found, for example, in the Google Analytics Help (https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de).

b) Google Tag Manager

This website uses Google Tag Manager. Google Tag Manager is a solution operated by Google LLC. 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA that allows marketed website tags to be managed using an interface. The Tag Manager tool itself (which implements the tags) is a cookie-less domain and does not register personal data. The tool causes other tags to be activated which may, for their part, register data under certain circumstances. Google Tag Manager does not access this information. If recording has been deactivated on domain or cookie level, this setting will remain in place for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager.

c) Google Web Fonts

Our website uses Google Web Fonts to represent the fonts as provided by Google. When you open a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly. If your browser does not support web fonts, your computer will display standard fonts. For further information, please visit https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq or https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.

d) Google Maps

On this website, we use the Google Maps service provided by Google Dublin, Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

The legal basis for this is your consent in the cookie banner according to Art. 6 (1) a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time by setting the cookies to inactive in the cookie setting.

This website uses Google Maps API to visually display geographical information. When using Google Maps, Google also collects, processes and uses data about visitors’ use of the map functions. You can find more information about data processing by Google in the Google privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy. There you can also change your personal privacy settings in the Privacy Center.

e) Pardot by Salesforce

This website uses Pardot, LLC, a Salesforce Company, to improve marketing initiatives and this includes also the use of cookies.

Pardot sets first-party cookies for tracking purposes and sets third-party cookies for redundancy. The cookies are used as a unique identifier and do not save personally identifying information.

Please visit Pardot’s privacy policy for further information on data storage and security: https://www.salesforce.com/company/privacy/ and for more information about Pardot’s Cookie and Activity Tracking Policy please visit https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=pardot_basics_cookies.htm&type=5

The legal basis for this is your consent in the cookie banner according to Art. 6 (1) a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time by setting the cookies to inactive in the cookie setting.

f) YouTube

This website embeds videos from YouTube. The operator of the pages is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

We use YouTube in extended data protection mode. According to YouTube, this mode means that YouTube does not store any information about visitors to this website before they watch the video. However, the transfer of data to YouTube partners is not necessarily excluded by the extended data protection mode. Thus, YouTube – regardless of whether you watch a video – establishes a connection to the Google DoubleClick network. Therefore, the videos were additionally prevented from direct data transmission to YouTube by an image file preceding the video. This means that no data about users is transmitted to YouTube as long as videos are not played. Only when the video is played, data is transmitted to YouTube.

As soon as you start a YouTube video on this website, a connection to the YouTube servers is established. This tells the YouTube server which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to assign your surfing behavior directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

Furthermore, YouTube can save various cookies on your end device after starting a video. With the help of these cookies, YouTube can obtain information about visitors to this website. This information is used, among other things, to collect video statistics, improve the user experience and prevent fraud attempts. Cookies remain on your device until you delete them.

If necessary, further data processing operations may be triggered after the start of a YouTube video, over which we have no control. YouTube is used in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offers. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR. If a corresponding consent was requested, the processing is based exclusively on Art. 6 (1) a) GDPR; the consent can be revoked at any time. For more information about data protection at YouTube, please see their privacy policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

g) Vimeo

This website embeds videos from Vimeo. The operator of the pages is Vimeo Inc., 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, USA.

When a page with an integrated Vimeo plugin is called up, a connection to the Vimeo servers is not immediately established. Instead, a local image (“thumbnail”) is loaded to announce the video and refer to Vimeo as a third-party provider. Users must actively start the Vimeo video. Only then does Vimeo learn the IP address of your end device and the page with Vimeo video that you have just called up, even if you are not logged into the video portal or do not have an account there.

Vimeo can assign your surfing behavior directly to your personal profile. By logging out beforehand, you have the option to prevent this. The use of Vimeo only takes place with your consent by your active start of the video in terms of Art. 6 (1) a) GDPR.

Details on the handling of user data can be found in Vimeo’s privacy policy at: https://vimeo.com/privacy

h) Campaign Manager (formerly: Google DoubleClick)

This website uses the Campaign Manager, formerly Google DoubleClick of the company Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. DoubleClick uses cookies in order to show relevant advertisements to users, to improve reporting on campaign performance, and if the frequency capping feature is enabled to prevent users from seeing the same advertisements multiple times. Using a cookie ID, Google can register which advertisements have been shown in which browser, preventing users from seeing the same advertisement multiple times. Besides, DoubleClick can use cookie IDs to record what are known as conversions, which are related to ad requests.

A conversion happens if, e.g., a user sees a DoubleClick advertisement and then later visits the advertiser’s website and makes purchase using the same browser. According to Google, DoubleClick cookies do not contain any personal information.

Due to the use of DoubleClick, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to the Google server. We do not have any influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of this tool and therefore inform you according to our level of knowledge: By integrating DoubleClick, Google receives information that you have accessed the corresponding part of our website or clicked on one of our ads. If you are registered with a Google service, Google may associate your visit with your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, it is possible that the provider may obtain and store your IP address.

For further information on DoubleClick by Google please visit https://www.doubleclickbygoogle.com and on data protection at Google in general visit https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.

There are a number of ways in which you can opt out of participation in Google AdWords and DoubleClick:

By making the appropriate settings in your browser; in particular, suppressing third-party cookies means that you will not receive advertisements from third parties.

By disabling the cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to refuse cookies from the domain www.googleadservices.com – see https://www.google.co.uk/settings/ads. This setting will be undone once you delete your cookies.

By disabling interest-based advertising by providers that participate in the About Ads self-regulatory program at http://www.aboutads.info/choices. This setting will be undone once you delete your cookies.

By permanently opting out: http://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin when using Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome. Please note that you may not be able to use all of the functions on this website if you do this.

The legal basis for this is your consent in the cookie banner according to Art. 6 (1) a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time by setting the cookies to inactive in the cookie setting.

4. Newsletter

On our website there is the possibility to subscribe to a free newsletter. When registering for the newsletter, the data from the input mask is transmitted to us.

Your data will not be passed on by us to those third parties to whose offers we refer you through the newsletter, unless you have consented to this.

The legal basis for the processing of the data after registration for the newsletter by the user is, if the user has given his consent, Art. 6 (1) a) GDPR.

Consent to the storage of personal data can be revoked at any time, for this you can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time by clicking on the corresponding link at the end of the e-mail. You can also revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future by unsubscribing via https://info.cordenpharma.com/l/68932/2017-02-10/5py52z.

5. Cross Border Data Transfers

Within the scope of our information sharing activities set out above, your personal data may be transferred to other countries (including countries outside the EEA) which may have different data protection standards than your country of residence. We have proper guarantees with the involved third parties in place (e.g. other operating the websites on our behalf) to ensure an adequate level of protection for personal data. Please note that data processed in a foreign country may be subject to foreign laws and accessible to foreign governments, courts, law enforcement, and regulatory agencies. However, we will endeavor to take reasonable measures to keep up adequate level of data protection also when sharing your personal data with such countries.
