Privacy Policy

We appreciate your interest in our company. Data protection is of particular importance for the management of the Alfried Krupp Hospital. It is possible to use Alfried Krupp Hospital's internet pages without supplying any personal information. If a data subject wishes to make use of specific services of our company via our website, processing of personal data may become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, the data subject generally must consent to us processing their data.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, email address or telephone number of a data subject, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations that apply to the Alfried Krupp Hospital. In this privacy policy, our company would like to inform the public about the type, scope and purpose of the personal data that we collect, use and process. This privacy policy will also inform data subjects of their rights.

The Alfried Krupp Hospital has implemented numerous technical and organisational measures as the responsible party for processing personal data, in order to ensure that all personal data processed via this website is as protected to the fullest possible extent. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions can have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every person concerned is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone.

1. Definitions

f) Pseudonymisation

4. Cookies

You can agree or object to the setting of cookies at the beginning of a session on the Alfried Krupp Hospital website ("Cookie Consent"). This setting can be changed at any time using a blue gear icon on the left side of the page. Cookies that have already been set must be deleted independently by the user via the browser.

Many websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string of characters through which Internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows websites and servers that have been visited to distinguish the individual's browser from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A particular web browser can be recognised and identified by the unique cookie ID.

The use of cookies enables Alfried Krupp Hospital to provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without cookies.

The information and offers on our website can be optimised for the user using a cookie. Cookies enable us, as already mentioned, to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter their access data each time they visit the website because the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system remembers the information.
Cookies can also be used to create usage statistics for website users (statistics) and to display personalized advertisements on the Internet (marketing).

The data subject can prevent cookies being set by our website at any time by using an appropriate setting of the browser being used, thus permanently objecting to to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time using an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common internet browsers. If the person concerned deactivates the setting of cookies on the Internet browser used, not all functions of our Internet site may be fully usable.

Here you can adjust your settings for this website via our cookie banner (CookieBot) and retrieve your cookie ID.

5. Collection of general data and information

The Alfried Krupp Hospital website collects a series of general data and information every time a person or an automated system accesses the website. This general data and information is stored in the server's log files. We may record (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrer), (4) the sub-pages which are accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time the website was accessed, (6) an Internet Protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service providers of the accessing system, and (8) other similar data and information used for security purposes in the event of attacks on our IT systems.

When using this general data and information, Alfried Krupp Hospital does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is required to (1) correctly deliver the contents of our website, (2) optimise the contents of our website and the advertising for it, (3) ensure the permanent functionality of our IT systems and the technology on our website, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in the event of a cyber-attack. This anonymously collected data and information is therefore evaluated by Alfried Krupp Hospital statistically with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files is stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

6. Subscription to our newsletter

On the website of the Alfried Krupp Hospital, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our company's newsletter. The personal data transmitted to the data controller when the newsletter is ordered results from the input form used for this purpose.

Using a newsletter, the Alfried Krupp Hospital informs its customers and business partners at regular intervals about the company's current information and offers. Our company newsletter can only be received by the data subject if (1) the person concerned has a valid email address and (2) the data subject registers to receive the newsletter. For legal reasons, a confirmation e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address entered by an affected person for the first time for newsletter mailing using the double-opt-in procedure. This confirmation e-mail serves to check whether the owner of the e-mail address has authorised the receipt of the newsletter as the person concerned.

The service provider CleverReach GmbH & Co. KG, Schafjückenweg 2, 26180 Rastede, Germany is responsible for sending and managing subscriptions to the Alfried Krupp Hospital newsletter. There is a service provider contract in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation. Cleverreach uses the data collected via the newsletter registration as part of the agreement with the Alfried Krupp Hospital exclusively for sending the newsletter to registered subscribers and deletes all data immediately if a newsletter subscription is canceled or if the service provider contract is terminated.

When registering for the newsletter, the service provider also stores the IP address of the computer system used by the person concerned at the time of registration assigned by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to trace the (possible) misuse of a data subject's e-mail address at a later point in time and therefore serves the legal protection of the responsible person.

The personal data collected in the context of registering for the newsletter will be used exclusively to send our newsletter. In addition, subscribers to the newsletter may be notified by email if this is necessary for operation of the newsletter service or registration, as might be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter or technical changes. The personal data collected in the context of the newsletter service will not be passed on to third parties.

Subscription to our newsletter may be terminated by the data subject at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data, which the person concerned has given us for the newsletter dispatch, can be revoked at any time. You will find a corresponding link in every newsletter for the purpose of revoking your consent. It is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on the website of the person responsible for processing or to inform the person responsible for processing of this in another way.

7. Newsletter tracking

The newsletters of the Alfried Krupp Hospital contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic that is embedded in emails that are sent in HTML format to enable recording and analysis of your interaction with the newsletter. This allows statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, the Alfried Krupp Hospital can see if and when an e-mail was opened by a data subject and, in anonymous form, which links in the e-mail were called up by data subjects and how often.

Such personal data collected via the tracking pixels in the newsletters is stored and evaluated by the data controller for the purpose of optimising dispatch of the newsletter and to better adapt the content of future newsletters to the interests of data subjects. The data will not be disclosed to third parties. The data subject is entitled at any time to revoke the separate declaration of consent given via the double opt-in procedure. Once consent is revoked, this personal data will be deleted by the data controller. Alfried Krupp Hospital automatically interprets unsubscribing from receiving the newsletter as a revocation.

8. It is possible to contact us via the website

Due to legal provisions, Alfried Krupp Hospital's website contains information that enables quickly contacting our company electronically, as well as directly communicating with us, which includes provision of a general so-called electronic mail address (email address). If a data subject contacts the data controller by email or via a contact form, any personal data transmitted by the data subject is stored automatically. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the data controller are stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. We will not disclose your information to third parties.

8.1 Friendly Captcha
When you visit a website that contains the Friendly Captcha widget and submit a puzzle request, FriendlyCaptcha collects the following log data: The User-Agent, Origin, and Referer request headers. The puzzle itself, which contains information about the associated account and site key. The version of the widget. A timestamp. FirendylCaptcha stores an anonymized counter per IP address for dynamic puzzle difficulty on the edge network to detect malicious users and minimize blocking of legitimate users. This data is stored completely separately from the other data and cannot be assigned to specific websites or anything else. FriendlyCaptcha anonymizes IP addresses with a one-way hash of certain values ​​so that they cannot be personally identified. FriendlyCaptcha does NOT ask for any other information or personal information such as your name, email address and online profiles. Source: friendlycaptcha.com/legal/privacy-end-users/
The Alfried Krupp Hospital uses FriendlyCaptcha as a GDPR-compliant spam protection solution exclusively on servers in the European Union.

9. Routine deletion and blocking of personal data

12. Privacy policy on application and usage of Facebook and Instagram

The data controller has integrated components from the company known as "Facebook" into this website, and operates the following social media profiles on the social media network known as Facebook, and the social media network known as "Instagram", which belongs to the Facebook group of companies:

A social network is an Internet-based social meeting place, an online community that usually enables users to communicate with each other and interact in virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for the exchange of opinions and experiences or enables the Internet community to provide personal or company-related information. Facebook enables users of the social network to create private profiles, upload photos and network via friendship requests, among other things.

We would like to present ourselves to interested parties, inform them of our services, and, if necessary, make contact with them, through our social media profiles. We may also share content on our site that has been posted by users, if the user has expressly agreed to this.

The operating company of Facebook and Instagram is Meta Platforms Inc., 1 Meta Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. The entity responsible for the processing of personal data, if the entity in question resides outside the US or Canada, is Meta Platforms Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

When you open one of the data controller's social media profiles on a relevant network, certain data is saved, such as your IP address, and other information that Facebook can collate via cookies on your device. Further details on the processing of personal data via cookies can be found in the Facebook cookie policy www.facebook.com/policies/cookies/ and the Instagram cookie policy help.instagram.com/1896641480634370. Processing of information via cookies used by Facebook and Instagram can be prevented by not allowing third-party cookies, or Facebook and Instagram cookies, in your own browser settings.

Each time you access one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and into which a Facebook component (Meta Pixel, formerly Facebook Pixel) has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject will automatically access usage data of the data subject Send website to Meta Platforms Inc. if consent is given to the use of cookies for statistical and/or marketing purposes. As part of this technical procedure, Meta Platforms Inc. obtains information about which specific subpage of our website is visited by the data subject. The person responsible for processing uses the data collected by the Meta Pixel to place targeted advertising on Meta Platforms Inc.'s social networks via the Meta Business Suite platform of Meta Platforms Inc. (Facebook Custom Audiences).

If the data subject is logged in to Facebook or Instagram at the same time, Meta Platforms Inc. recognizes which specific subpage of our website the data subject visits each time the data subject visits our website and for the entire duration of their stay on our website. This information is collected by the Meta Pixel and assigned by Meta Platforms Inc. to the respective Facebook or Instagram account of the data subject.

Meta Platforms Inc. always receives information via the Meta Pixel that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is logged in to Facebook or Instagram at the same time as accessing our website. If the data subject does not want this information to be transmitted to Facebook or Instagram, they can prevent the transmission by logging out of their Facebook or Instagram account before accessing our website.

The platform operators also provide us with anonymised usage statistics (Facebook Insights/Instagram Insights) to enable us to further develop and optimise our profiles.

Meta Platforms Inc. may also process data, which has been processed in connection with the use of our Facebook and Instagram profiles, outside of the European Union. However, Meta Platforms Inc. is certified under the Privacy Shield and is therefore obliged to comply with EU data protection standards. Privacy Shield provisions can be found at: www.privacyshield.gov/participant 

The data policy published by Facebook, available at https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/ and for Instagram at https://www.facebook.com/help/instagram/155833707900388, provides information on the collection, processing and use of personal data by Facebook and Instagram. It also explains what setting options Facebook and Instagram offer to protect the privacy of the data subject. In addition, various applications are available that make it possible to suppress data transmission to Facebook and Instagram. Such applications can be used by the data subject to suppress data transmission to Facebook and Instagram.

13. Data protection regulations on the use and application of Google Analytics (with anonymisation function) via the Google Tag Manager

The responsible person has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymisation function) via the Google Tag Manager into this website. Google Tag Manager can collect usage data via website tags and cookies and make it available to other services such as Google Analytics. Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analysis is surveying, collecting and analysing data about the behaviour of visitors to websites. A web analysis service collects, among other things, data on the website from which a data subject has accessed a website ("referrer"), which sub-pages of the website have been accessed or how often and for how long a sub-page has been viewed. A web analysis is mainly used to optimise a website and for cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising.

The operator of the Google Tag Manager and the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

The data controller uses the suffix "anonymizeIp" for the web analysis via Google Analytics. Using this addition, Google shortens and anonymises the IP address of the data subject when accessing our Internet pages from a Member State of the European Union or from another signatory state to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyse the flow of visitors to our website. Among other things, Google uses the data and information obtained to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports showing us the activities on our websites, and to provide other services related to the use of our website.

Google Analytics places a cookie on the information technology system of the person in question. Cookies have already been explained above. The placement of this cookie enables Google to analyse the use of our website. Each time one of the individual pages of this website is accessed, which is operated by the data controller and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. As part of this technical process, Google obtains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which serves Google, among other things, to trace the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently enable commission statements.

Cookies are used to store personal information, such as the time of access, the location from which access came and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject. Whenever you visit our website, this personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may disclose personal data collected through the technical process to third parties.

The data subject can prevent cookies being set by our website at any time, as already described above, by using an appropriate setting of the Internet browser used and therefore permanently object to cookies being set. Setting the Internet browser used in this way would also prevent Google from placing a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programmes.

Furthermore, it is possible for the data subject to object to and prevent the collection of data generated by Google Analytics relating to the use of this website and the processing of this data by Google. To do this, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on from the link tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information on visits to websites may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered a contradiction by Google.

16. Legal basis of the processing

Art 6 I lit. a, GDPR serves our company as a legal basis for processing operations through which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, as is the case for example with processing operations necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of other services or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 I letter b GDPR. The same applies to such processing processes that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of enquiries about our services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation which requires the processing of personal data, for example to fulfil tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I letter c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may become necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured at our company and their name, age, health insurance data or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, a hospital or other third parties. The processing would then be based on Art. 6 I letter d GDPR. Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I letter f GDPR. Processing operations which are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not take priority. We are allowed to carry out such processing procedures because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the data controller (recital 47, sentence 2, GDPR).

17. The legitimate interests pursued by the data controller or by a third party

Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR, our legitimate interest is to carry out our business for the well-being of all our employees, patients and the shareholders.

18. Period for which the personal data will be stored

The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the statutory retention period in question. After the deadline, the corresponding data will be routinely deleted if it is no longer required for fulfilling the contract or for initiating a contract.

19. Provision of personal data as a statutory or contractual requirement; Requirement necessary to enter into a contract; Obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of failure to provide such data

We inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also result from contractual regulations (e.g. information on the contractual partner). In some cases, it may be necessary for a contract to be concluded if a data subject provides us with personal data which must subsequently be processed by us. For example, the person concerned is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company enters into a contract with him/her. Failure to provide personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded.

20. Existence of automated decision-making

As a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision-making or profiling.
