Registration via our Online Shop

Personal Data

Personal data is information about factual or personal circumstances of a specific or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, your name, your telephone number, your address, as well as all inventory data that you provide to us when registering and creating your customer account. Statistical data that we collect, for example, when you visit our ICX online shop and that cannot be directly linked to your person is not included here. For example, these are statistics about which pages of our shop are particularly popular or how many users visit certain pages of the Medentis shop.

Customer Account

We set up password-protected direct access to their inventory data stored with us (customer account) for every customer who registers accordingly. Here you can view data about your completed, open and recently sent orders and manage your data and the newsletter. You undertake to treat your personal access data confidentially and not to make it accessible to unauthorized third parties. We cannot accept any liability for misused passwords, unless we are responsible for the misuse.
If you do not log out, you will remain logged in automatically. This function enables you to use part of our services (e.g. “customer account”) without having to log in again each time. For security reasons, however, you will be asked to enter your password again if, for example, your personal data is to be changed or you want to place an order.

Collection, Processing and Use of your Personal Data

Data protection is very important to us. Therefore, when collecting, processing and using your personal data, we strictly adhere to the statutory provisions of the Federal Data Protection Act and the Telemedia Act. We collect, store and process your data for the entire processing of your purchase, including any later guarantees, for our service services, technical administration and our own marketing purposes. Your personal data will only be passed on to third parties or otherwise transmitted if this is necessary for the purpose of contract processing or billing or if you have given your prior consent. As part of the order processing, for example, the service providers used by us here (such as transporters, logistics companies, banks) receive the necessary data for order and order processing. The data passed on in this way may only be used by our service providers to fulfill their task. Any other use of the information is not permitted and does not take place with any of the service providers we have commissioned.
For your order we need your correct name, address and payment details. We need your e-mail address so that we can confirm receipt of the order and communicate with you. We also use this for your identification (customer login). Furthermore, you will receive your order and shipping confirmation via your e-mail address.
Your personal data will be deleted if there are no legal storage obligations to the contrary and if you have asserted a claim for deletion, if the data is no longer required to fulfill the purpose pursued with the storage or if its storage is inadmissible for other legal reasons.

Use of your Data for Advertising Purposes

Your personal data (company address, if applicable names of contact persons) will be processed for the dispatch of advertising material by post and information about the range of services and products. Furthermore, your data will be supplemented by publicly accessible socio-demographic data in order to enable an individual approach with tailor-made offers. The admissibility of the processing is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 f) GDPR (Legitimate Interest). The controller has a legitimate interest in operating direct advertising. There is also a legitimate interest in making the advertising offer as individual as possible. The provision of your personal data is required for the dispatch of advertising material. The transfer of data by the controller and the processing by the service provider takes place on the basis of a contract processing agreement pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR.

Newsletters

For sending the newsletter, we use the so-called double opt-in procedure, i.e. we will only send you a newsletter by e-mail if you have previously expressly confirmed to us that we should activate the newsletter service. We will then send you a notification e-mail and ask you to confirm that you would like to receive our newsletter by clicking on a link contained in this e-mail.
If you no longer wish to receive newsletters from us later, you can object to this at any time without incurring any costs other than the transmission costs according to the basic rates. A message in text form to the contact details mentioned under point 1 (e.g. e-mail, fax, letter) is sufficient for this. Of course, you will also find an unsubscribe link in every newsletter.

rapidmail (https://www.rapidmail.de/) is used as newsletter software. Your data will be transmitted to rapidmail GmbH, Wentzingerstraße 21, 79106 Freiburg. rapidmail is prohibited from selling your data and using it for purposes other than sending newsletters.

You will receive these product recommendations from us regardless of whether you have subscribed to a newsletter. In this way, we want to send you information about products from our range that may be of interest to you based on your recent purchases from us. In doing so, we strictly adhere to the legal requirements.

If you no longer wish to receive product recommendations or any advertising messages from us, you can object to this at any time without incurring any costs other than the transmission costs according to the basic rates. A message in text form to the contact details mentioned under point 1 (e.g. e-mail, fax, letter) is sufficient for this. Of course, you will also find an unsubscribe link in every e-mail.

We use “Google reCAPTCHA” (hereinafter “reCAPTCHA”) on this website. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

reCAPTCHA is used to check whether the data input on this website (e.g. in a contact form) is made by a human or by an automated program. To do this, reCAPTCHA analyzes the behavior of the website visitor based on various characteristics. This analysis starts automatically as soon as the website visitor enters the website. For the analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates various information (e.g. IP address, time spent on the website by the website visitor or mouse movements made by the user).

YouTube with Enhanced Data Protection

This website includes videos from the YouTube website. The operator of the pages is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

We use YouTube in enhanced 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. For example, YouTube establishes a connection to the Google DoubleClick network – regardless of whether you watch a video or not.

As soon as you start a YouTube video on this website, a connection to the YouTube servers is established. The YouTube server is informed 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 store various cookies on your device or use comparable recognition technologies (e.g. device fingerprinting) after starting a video. In this way, YouTube can obtain information about visitors to this website. This information is used, among other things, to collect video statistics, improve user-friendliness and prevent fraud attempts.

If necessary, further data processing operations may be triggered after the start of a YouTube video, over which we have no influence. YouTube is used in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offers. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 Para. 1 TTDSG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user’s end device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG.

For this purpose, iThemes Security collects, among other things, your IP address, time and source of login attempts and log data (e.g. the browser used). iThemes Security is installed locally on our servers.

iThemes Security transmits IP addresses of recurring attackers to a central iThemes database in the USA (Network Brute Force Protection) in order to prevent such attacks in the future. The use of iThemes Security is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its website from cyber attacks as effectively as possible. If a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 Para. 1 TTDSG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user’s end device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

 

Social Plugins

Social plugins from the providers listed below are used on our websites. You can recognize the plugins by the fact that they are marked with the corresponding logo.

These plugins may send information, which may also include personal data, to the service operator and, if necessary, be used by the service operator. We prevent the unconscious and unwanted collection and transfer of data to the service provider by means of a 2-click solution. To activate a desired social plugin, it must first be activated by clicking on the corresponding button. Only through this activation of the plugin is the collection of information and its transfer to the service provider triggered. We ourselves do not collect any personal data by means of the social plugins or via their use.

We have no influence on which data an activated plugin collects and how it is used by the provider. Currently, it must be assumed that a direct connection to the services of the provider is being established and that at least the IP address and device-related information are being collected and used. There is also the possibility that the service providers will try to store cookies on the computer used. Please refer to the data protection information of the respective service provider for information on which specific data is collected and how it is used. Note: If you are logged in to Facebook or Instagram at the same time, Facebook can identify you as a visitor to a specific page.

Elements of the Facebook social network are integrated on this website. The provider of this service is Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland. According to Facebook, however, the data collected is also transferred to the USA and other third countries.

Google AdWords

Our website uses Google Conversion Tracking. If you have reached our website via an ad placed by Google, Google Adwords will set a cookie on your computer. The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on an ad placed by Google. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked via the websites of AdWords customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted in to conversion tracking. Customers see the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information with which users can be personally identified.

If you do not want to participate in tracking, you can refuse the setting of a cookie required for this – for example, via a browser setting that generally deactivates the automatic setting of cookies or set your browser so that cookies from the domain “googleleadservices.com” are blocked.

Please note that you must not delete the opt-out cookies as long as you do not want any measurement data to be recorded. If you have deleted all your cookies in the browser, you must set the respective opt-out cookie again.

Use of Google Remarketing

This website uses the remarketing function of Google Inc. This function is used to present interest-based advertisements to website visitors within the Google advertising network. A so-called “cookie” is stored in the browser of the website visitor, which makes it possible to recognize the visitor when he or she visits websites that belong to Google’s advertising network. On these pages, the visitor may be presented with advertisements that relate to content that the visitor has previously accessed on websites that use Google’s remarketing function.
According to its own information, Google does not collect any personal data during this process. If you still do not want the remarketing function from Google, you can generally deactivate it by making the appropriate settings at http://www.google.com/settings/ads. Alternatively, you can deactivate the use of cookies for interest-based advertising via the advertising network initiative by following the instructions at http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp.
