E-mail: datenschutz@medix-care.com

Storage period
Unless a more specific storage period has been stated within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for processing the data no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, the data will be deleted once these reasons no longer apply.
General information on the legal basis for data processing on this website
If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) DSGVO or Art. 9(2)(a) DSGVO, if special categories of data are processed in accordance with Art. 9(1) DSGVO. In the case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also carried out on the basis of Art.
49 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to the access to information in your terminal device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), the data processing is additionally carried out on the basis of Section 25 (1) TTDSG. The consent can be revoked 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 Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO.

Furthermore, the data processing may be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. Information about the relevant legal basis in each individual case is provided in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.
Note on data transfer to the USA and other third countries
We use, among other things, tools from companies based in the USA or other third
third countries that are not secure under data protection law. If these tools are active, your
personal data may be transferred to these third countries and processed there. We would like to point out that no level of data protection comparable to that in the EU can be guaranteed in these countries.
For example, US companies are obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without you as a data subject being able to take legal action against this. It can therefore not be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. intelligence services) process, evaluate and permanently store your data located on US servers for monitoring purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.

RIGHTS OF THE DATA SUBJECT

If personal data is processed by you, you are a data subject within the meaning of the GDPR and you are entitled to the following rights vis-à-vis the controller if the legal requirements are met:

  • Right to restriction of processing pursuant to Art. 18 DSGVO
  • Right to erasure pursuant to Art. 17 DSGVO
  • Right to information pursuant to Art. 19 DSGVO
  • Right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20 DSGVO
  • Right of objection according to Art. 21 DSGVO
    In addition, you have the right to object to data processing at any time. We will then no longer process your data, unless there are compelling reasons for the processing worthy of protection or the processing serves the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims. If you make use of the aforementioned rights, the controller will check whether the legal requirements are met.
  • Right to revoke the declaration of consent under data protection law pursuant to Art. 7 (3) DSGVO.
    You have the right to revoke your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. The revocation of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation.
  • Right to complain to a supervisory authority
    Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your residence, workplace or the place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of personal data concerning you infringes the GDPR.

The competent supervisory authority is:

The State Commissioner for Data Protection in Lower Saxony.
Prinzenstr. 5
30159 Hanover
Tel. +49 511 120 – 4500
