Web analysis, targeting and cookies
Our website uses so-called cookies. These are small text files that are stored on your device with the help of the browser. They do not cause any damage, but serve to make the use of the pages easier and more individual.

 

Some cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. The cookies enable us to recognize your browser on your next visit. These include, for example, cookies that are technically required for the function of our website or provide a service or option requested by you, for example a cookie that stores your personal settings such as the selected language or similar.

IFA Institut für Aurachirurgie AG strives for the continuous improvement of the website. For this purpose, cookies for website and performance analysis are used, namely cookies that provide us with overall statistics on the number of visitors, pages visited, etc. These data are collected and evaluated internally. We use the results for statistical evaluations with which we review the demand-oriented design of our website. In addition, when visiting some of our pages, temporary cookies from targeting service providers may be stored on the hard drive of your computer or on your mobile device, which automatically delete themselves after a specified time. These cookies contain a machine-generated alphanumeric identifier that does not allow conclusions to be drawn about your person or the IP address of your computer. You can prevent the use of targeting cookies by setting your browser so that no cookies are stored.

With the help of the above-mentioned cookies, anonymized data are generally collected that enable an analysis of the use of our website.

In order for you to share content from our website via social media channels such as Facebook, Twitter, etc., a cookie must be installed on your device. From the use of the function onwards, responsibility for further data processing lies with the respective company. Please refer to their policies for further information.

 

Control of cookies
As described above, you can fully use the functionality of our website with the help of cookies.

If you do not allow or deactivate cookies, the functionality of our website may be limited. If you do not want cookies, you can set your browser so that it informs you about the setting of cookies and you only allow this in individual cases. In addition, you can set your web browser so that it automatically deactivates cookies. Please note that most browsers offer various options to protect your privacy. Instructions for managing cookies on your browser can usually be found in the help function of the browser or in the user manual of your mobile device.

 

Integration of third-party services and content as well as use of plugins
It may happen that within our websites, content from third parties is integrated, for example Twitter, Facebook, videos on YouTube, map material from Google Maps or graphics from other websites (so-called externally embedded components or plugins/widgets). This always requires that the providers of this content use the IP address of the users, since without the IP address no content can be sent to the user's browser. By clicking on the respective symbol, you agree to communication with the respective platform and the transmission of information to the respective service provider. We have no influence on the scope of the data that the social network collects with the help of these components. We endeavor to only integrate content from third parties that use IP addresses solely for the delivery of content. From the use of the function onwards, responsibility for further data processing lies with the respective company. Please inform yourself about the respective use of your personal data based on the data protection notices of the selected service provider.

 

Newsletter
You have the option to subscribe to our newsletter via our customer advisors. For this we need your e-mail address and your declaration that you agree to receive the newsletter.

In order to be able to inform you in a targeted manner, we also collect and process voluntarily provided information (areas of interest, place of residence, etc.).

You can cancel the subscription to the newsletter at any time. Please use this web form for cancellation. We will then immediately delete your personal data in connection with the newsletter dispatch.

 

Data storage
We point out that the IP data of the connection owner are stored by the website operator when using cookies during the visit of our website. Under certain circumstances, personal data such as name and address of the website visitor may also be collected (via corresponding input forms).

In accordance with the requirements of data protection law, our website visitors are informed on the respective websites about any collection of personal data beyond the use of targeting. We collect, use and process personal data that are necessary for the fulfillment of a contract or in the context of initiating business relations or on the basis of your explicit consent, which can also be given electronically (for example when requesting brochures). A consent once given can be revoked at any time with effect for the future. Personal data communicated to us via our website will only be stored until the purpose for which they were entrusted to us has been fulfilled. In the event of a contract being concluded, all data from the contractual relationship will be stored until the expiry of the statutory retention period.

The information collected on this website is forwarded, upon entry by you, to the responsible unit within IFA Institut für Aurachirurgie AG. The data will not be passed on to third parties unless this is necessary, for example, for the fulfillment of brochure requests (for example dispatch of brochures by a service provider). Personal data are only used in accordance with the purpose resulting from the respective page of our website on which the data were collected from you. Pages on which we collect personal data are usually marked with the encryption symbol built into your browser.

 

Notwithstanding the measures taken to protect your personal data, it must be noted that data protection and confidentiality in data processing via universally accessible media may be limited. When using the Internet as a transmission medium with a computer, smartphone or another device, it cannot be excluded due to its design that third parties may gain access to your data and thus draw conclusions about any existing business relationships or that personal data may flow to third countries without our involvement.

We also point out that the transmission of particularly sensitive information and data, in particular personal data or account information, should only take place via secure communication channels. The entry and/or transmission of personal or business data in the context of the use of our website or other digital services is carried out – in the knowledge of the associated risks – voluntarily and with a waiver of corresponding safeguards. Any liability for direct and indirect damages arising in connection with the use of our website and the digital services or their content is fully excluded.
