DATA SECURITY

Dear Sir or Madam,

The protection of your personal data is very important to us. We too are affected individuals in many situations and expect everyone to treat our own data with confidentiality at all times.

Today, we are your partner who needs to process data. A contractual relationship without a minimum amount of data is impossible. However, we assure you, out of personal conviction and in line with the motto “as much as necessary, as little as possible,” that we will handle your data responsibly and keep it to a minimum. 

We also expressly welcome the new data protection regulations and the associated obligation to inform you about the use of your data. Please refer to the following text for this information:

We will process your data to the extent necessary for the initiation and fulfillment of the contract (GDPR Art. 6b). This data will only be made available to the persons involved in the processing of the contractual relationship at the respective time and will only be used for the purpose of executing the contract.

It is not possible to fulfill the contract without this data.

Should this require the transfer or exchange of data, in particular names, dates of birth, and addresses, to or with authorities, credit agencies, or other third parties, we will do so in accordance with GDPR Art. 6 (1) (c) and (f). We have the option of processing data that is lawfully transmitted to us by these third parties. This may include, for example, creditworthiness information.

Your data will be stored and processed within the statutory time limits. After that, it will be deleted within one year. 

You naturally have the right to obtain information about the data collected about you (GDPR Art. 15). You also have the right to have this data corrected (GDPR Art. 16), deleted (GDPR Art. 17), or restricted in its processing (GDPR Art. 18). In addition, under certain circumstances, you have the right to object to the processing of your data. We are required to retain a minimum amount of data for the proper processing of orders during our contractual relationship.

Your data will not be used beyond the scope described here, in particular for profiling, without your express and revocable consent.

If you have any questions, comments, or complaints regarding data protection at our company, please contact our data protection officer (datenschutz@cortex-medical.de). You also have the option of contacting a supervisory authority responsible for data protection. 

With this approach, we aim to establish and maintain a positive and trusting business relationship with you.
