IV. General information on data processing, including scope, purpose and legal basis

1. Scope of data processing

We process the personal data provided by you so that our company offers of company name insert can be used by you and the offers can be processed by us. In doing so, only the personal data that is actually required is collected. The scope depends on whether you merely visit our website or actively contact us. For further details on data processing, please refer to the corresponding explanations under V. to VII. of this data protection declaration.

Some of the data is also collected to ensure error-free provision of the website. Other data may be used to analyze your user behavior. For further details on data processing in this regard, please refer to the corresponding explanations under VIII. to X. of this data protection declaration.

2. Legal basis of the data processing

No data processing is possible without a corresponding legal basis. We take this so-called prohibition with reservation of permission very seriously.

The DS-GVO provides for the following legal bases:

• Consent by the data subject (Article 6(1) p. 1 lit. a DS-GVO),

• Performance of a contract and pre-contractual measures (Article 6 (1) p. 1 lit. b DS-GVO),

• Fulfillment of a legal obligation of the responsible person (Article 6 paragraph 1 p. 1 lit. c DS-GVO),

• Safeguarding vital interests of the data subject or another natural person (Article 6(1) p. 1 lit. d DS-GVO),

• Performance of a task in the public interest or for the exercise of official authority (Article 6 (1) p. 1 lit. e DS-GVO),

• Safeguarding legitimate interests of the controller or a third party (Article 6(1) p. 1 lit. f DS-GVO).

For each specific data processing, we have added the corresponding legal basis in this privacy policy.

3. Purpose of the data processing

If the legal basis is not shown separately in the data protection declaration, the processing is carried out for one or more of the following purposes on the basis of the respective legal regulations mentioned:

• Implementation of pre-contractual and contractual measures, which takes place upon request (Article 6 (1) p. 1 lit. b DS-GVO).

• Safeguarding our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third party (Article 6(1) p. 1 lit. f DS-GVO).

• Data processing for the performance of a task in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority (Article 6 (1) p. 1 lit. e DS-GVO).

• If you have given us your consent, on the basis of this consent (Article 6 (1) S. 1 lit. a and Article 7 DS-GVO).

A detailed description of the processing purposes can be found in the explanations of the respective data processing below.

4. Transfer of your data

We only transfer your data to external service providers insofar as this is necessary and permissible for the fulfillment of our contractual and legal obligations or for the provision of our offer. If we therefore cooperate with order processors, we bind them contractually in accordance with the legal requirements under Article 28 DS-GVO (contract on order processing). This ensures an appropriate level of data protection and data security. Insofar as the service providers are located outside the European Economic Area in individual cases, it is ensured that the necessary legal basis for this exists. We select these service providers carefully and check whether the transfer of data is necessary for the processing of the contractual relationship with you and the processing meets the legal requirements.

Duration of storage and deletion of data

We process and store your personal data as long as it is necessary for the fulfillment of our legal and contractual obligations. This includes the storage of your personal data for the entire period of the contractual relationship with you.

After expiration of the retention periods, your personal data will be deleted by us.

The retention periods under commercial and tax law (including from the German Commercial Code, the German Fiscal Code and social security regulations) are two to ten years and serve retention and documentation purposes.

Further details on the storage period and data deletion can be found in the explanations below on the respective data processing.

VIII. External links

1. Integration of YouTube videos

1. We have integrated YouTube videos into our online offer, which are stored on https://www.youtube.com/ and can be played directly from our website. These are all integrated in “extended data protection mode”, i.e. no data about you as a user is transmitted to YouTube if you do not play the videos. Only when you play the videos will the data mentioned in paragraph 2 be transmitted. We have no influence on this data transmission. The legal basis for the integration of YouTube videos is Article 6 (1) p. 1 lit. f DS-GVO.

2. By visiting the website, YouTube receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding sub-page of our website. In addition, the data collected under VI. Use of cookies and other technologies “Use of cookies” and V. Processing of personal data by visiting our website “Visiting our website”, of this statement are transmitted. This occurs regardless of whether YouTube provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether there is no user account. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly assigned to your account. If you do not wish to have your data associated with your YouTube profile, you must log out before activating the button. YouTube stores your data as usage profiles and uses them for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or demand-oriented design of its website. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to provide needs-based advertising 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, whereby you must contact YouTube to exercise this right.

3. Information of the provider: YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland is responsible for data processing. For more information on the purpose and scope of data collection and its processing by YouTube, please refer to the privacy policy under the following link. There you will also find further information on your rights and setting options to protect your privacy: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy. Google also processes your personal data in the USA, standard contractual clauses have been agreed.

2. Presences in social networks

1. We also operate online presences within social networks and platforms and share information via social networks. Through these, we present preclinics-discovery and can communicate with you as our partners or interested parties and publish information. This data processing is separated from the data processing of the website. Through our online presence, a possible analysis of the activity on our online presence can take place with statistical data provided to us by the providers of the social networks and platforms (so-called insights data). However, data processing only takes place as soon as you interact with our online presence. The legal basis for this is Article 6 (1) page 1 lit. f DS-GVO, as the data processing is based on our legitimate interests in more effective information and communication with you. In the case of contract-relevant communication with us, Article 6 (1) page 1 lit. b DS-GVO is the legal basis.

2. When calling up and using our online presences, your personal data is processed by the providers of the social networks and platforms themselves for analysis and advertising purposes. As the operator of the online presence, we have no influence on this and we also do not receive any information from the respective providers about the exact scope of the data processing. The providers can thus create usage profiles, e.g. in order to place interest-based advertising. Cookies are usually stored on your devices for this purpose. Data processing may also take place outside the European Union. The respective provider of the social networks and platforms is primarily responsible for data processing via the online presences. You also have the option of asserting your data subject rights (see “No. 4 Your rights”) directly against the providers of the social networks and platforms.

3. Further information on data processing and your rights can be found in the privacy statements of the providers:

LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Place,

Dublin 2, Ireland ); Privacy Policy: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy

IX. Transmission to third countries

In some cases, your data will be transmitted by external service providers to servers outside the EU (so-called third countries). These can be, in particular, service providers in the areas of hosting and marketing, whereby we carefully select these service providers and contractually obligate them to comply with data protection in accordance with the legal requirements. Insofar as the service providers are located outside the EU, it is ensured that in these cases Binding Corporate Rules (BCR), or the standard data protection clauses within the meaning of Article 46 DS-GVO apply, or an adequacy decision within the meaning of Article 45 DS-GVO exists and thus an adequate level of data protection can be guaranteed.

The following companies receive data in third countries outside the European Union as part of our social media activities. For some social networks, you must be a user of these networks yourself:

1. LinkedIn Inc., 1000 West Maude Avenue, Sunnyvale Ca 94085; https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy

2.Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountainview, California 94043, USA; https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites?hl=de
