2. General Notes and Mandatory Information

Data Protection
The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.
When you use this website, various personal data will be collected. Personal data is data that can be used to personally identify you. This privacy policy explains which data we collect and how we use it. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.
We would like to point out that data transmission over the internet (e.g., communication via email) can have security gaps. A complete protection of data from third-party access is not possible.

Note on the Responsible Body
The responsible body for data processing on this website is:

CureNov Medical UG
David Darius Schäfer
Kaiserpassage 1
76133 Karlsruhe

Contact:
Email: info@procontoure.com

The responsible body is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, email addresses, etc.).

Storage Duration
Unless a more specific storage duration is stated within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you make a legitimate request for deletion or revoke consent for data processing, your data will be deleted, unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial retention periods); in the latter case, the deletion will take place after the expiration of these reasons.

General Notes on the Legal Bases of Data Processing on This Website
If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a DSGVO or Art. 9 Para. 2 lit. a DSGVO, if special categories of data are processed according to Art. 9 Para. 1 DSGVO. If you have explicitly consented to the transfer of personal data to third countries, the data processing is also carried out based on Art. 49 Para. 1 lit. a DSGVO. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information on your end device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), data processing is additionally carried out on the basis of § 25 Para. 1 TTDSG. The consent can be revoked at any time.

If your data is required to fulfill a contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures, we process your data based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b DSGVO. Furthermore, we process your data if this is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c DSGVO. Data processing may also take place based on our legitimate interests under Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. The relevant legal bases are explained in more detail in the following sections of this privacy policy.

Note on Data Transfer to the USA and Other Third Countries
We use tools from companies based in the USA or other data protection law insecure third countries. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred and processed in these third countries. 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 being able to take legal action. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that US authorities (e.g., intelligence services) may process, evaluate, and permanently store your data stored on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence over this processing.

Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke any consent already given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases as well as to Direct Marketing (Art. 21 DSGVO)
If the data processing is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. e or f DSGVO, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for reasons arising from your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The relevant legal bases for the processing can be found in this privacy policy.
If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing is for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims (objection under Art. 21 Para. 1 DSGVO).

If your personal data is processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for such marketing purposes; this also applies to profiling as far as it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will no longer be used for direct marketing purposes (objection under Art. 21 Para. 2 DSGVO).

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority
In the event of violations of the DSGVO, affected persons have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of their habitual residence, their workplace, or the place of the alleged infringement. The right to complain remains unaffected by other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability
You have the right to request that data we process based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract be handed over to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent technically feasible.

Access, Deletion, and Rectification
You have the right to request information about your stored personal data, its origin, recipients, and the purpose of the data processing free of charge at any time, in accordance with applicable legal provisions. You also have the right to request rectification or deletion of this data. For this and other questions regarding personal data, you can contact us at any time.

Here’s the English translation of the provided German text:

Right to Restrict Processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time to exercise this right. The right to restrict processing applies in the following cases:

  • If you dispute the accuracy of the personal data we have stored, we generally need time to verify this. During the verification process, you have the right to request the restriction of processing your personal data.
  • If the processing of your personal data is unlawful, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
  • If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of processing your personal data instead of erasure.
  • If you have filed an objection under Art. 21 Para. 1 DSGVO, a balance must be made between your and our interests. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests outweigh, you have the right to request the restriction of processing your personal data.
  • If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, those data – apart from storage – can only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of substantial public interest of the European Union or a member state.

SSL or TLS Encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the change in the browser address bar from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser’s address bar.
When the SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Objection to Advertising Emails
We hereby object to the use of contact data published within the scope of the imprint obligation for sending unsolicited advertisements and informational materials. The operators of the website expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the case of unsolicited advertising information being sent, such as spam emails.

3. Data Collection on This Website

Cookies
Our website uses so-called “cookies.” Cookies are small text files that do not harm your device. They are either temporarily stored for the duration of your session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after the end of your visit. Persistent cookies remain on your device until you delete them yourself or an automatic deletion occurs through your web browser.
In some cases, third-party cookies may also be stored on your device when you enter our site (third-party cookies). These enable us or you to use certain third-party services (e.g., cookies for payment services).
Cookies have different functions. Many cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., shopping cart functions or displaying videos). Other cookies are used to evaluate user behavior or to display advertisements.
Cookies necessary for the execution of the electronic communication process, for providing certain functions you request (e.g., for the shopping cart function), or for optimizing the website (e.g., cookies to measure web audience) are stored based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DSGVO, unless another legal basis is provided. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimized provision of services. If consent has been requested for storing cookies and similar recognition technologies, processing will be carried out solely based on that consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a DSGVO and § 25 Para. 1 TTDSG); consent can be withdrawn at any time.
You can configure your browser to be notified about the setting of cookies and to allow cookies only in individual cases, to exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or in general, and to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.
If cookies from third parties or for analysis purposes are used, we will inform you separately within this privacy policy and, if necessary, request your consent.

Server Log Files
The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser transmits to us automatically. This information includes:

  • Browser type and browser version
  • Operating system used
  • Referrer URL
  • Hostname of the accessing computer
  • Time of the server request
  • IP address
    These data will not be combined with other data sources.
    The collection of these data is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of his website – for this purpose, server log files must be collected.

Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service of Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies,” text files that are stored on your computer and enable the analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website (including your IP address) is transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity for the website operators, and to provide other services related to website and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties if required by law or if third parties process this data on behalf of Google. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google.
You can prevent the installation of cookies by adjusting the settings of your browser software; however, please note that you may not be able to use all the features of this website if you do so. By using this website, you consent to the processing of data collected about you by Google in the manner described above and for the purpose stated above.
You can also download a browser add-on to prevent Google Analytics on the computer where the add-on is installed. Please refer to Google’s further instructions on the following website where you can also download the add-on: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en

Contact Form
If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provide there, will be stored by us for processing the request and in case of follow-up questions. We will not share this data without your consent.
The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b DSGVO, provided your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively processing the inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DSGVO) or on your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a DSGVO) if requested; consent can be withdrawn at any time.
The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request deletion, withdraw your consent to the storage, or the purpose for the data storage no longer applies (e.g., after the completion of your request). Mandatory legal provisions – especially retention periods – remain unaffected.

Here’s the translation for the section you’ve provided:

Inquiries via Email, Phone, or Fax
If you contact us by email, phone, or fax, your inquiry, including any personal data resulting from it (name, inquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We will not share this data without your consent.
The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR if your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively handling the inquiries directed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if it has been requested; the consent can be withdrawn at any time.

The data you send us through contact inquiries will remain with us until you request its deletion, withdraw your consent for its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g., after the completion of processing your inquiry). Mandatory legal provisions—especially legal retention periods—remain unaffected.

4. Plugins and Tools

YouTube with Extended Privacy
This website integrates YouTube videos. The operator of the pages is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
We use YouTube in extended privacy mode. According to YouTube, this mode ensures that no information about visitors to this website is stored before they watch a video. However, the sharing of data with YouTube partners is not necessarily excluded by this mode. YouTube will establish a connection to the Google DoubleClick network, regardless of whether you watch a video.
Once you start a YouTube video on this website, a connection to YouTube’s servers is established. The YouTube server is informed about which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, YouTube can directly associate your browsing behavior with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.
Furthermore, YouTube may store various cookies on your device or use comparable recognition technologies (e.g., device fingerprinting) after starting a video. This allows YouTube to 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.
Subsequent data processing activities may be triggered after starting a YouTube video, over which we have no influence.
The use of YouTube is in the interest of presenting our online offerings attractively. This constitutes a legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If consent has been requested, the processing is solely based on 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 on the user’s device (e.g., device fingerprinting) in accordance with the TTDSG. The consent can be withdrawn at any time.
For more information about privacy on YouTube, please refer to their privacy policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

Google Web Fonts
This website uses so-called Web Fonts, provided by Google, for the uniform presentation of fonts. When you visit a page, your browser loads the necessary Web Fonts into its browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly.
For this purpose, the browser you use must establish a connection to Google’s servers. This allows Google to become aware that your IP address has accessed this website.
The use of Google Web Fonts is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the uniform presentation of the font on the website. If consent has been requested, the processing is solely based on 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 on the user’s device (e.g., device fingerprinting) in accordance with the TTDSG. The consent can be withdrawn at any time.
If your browser does not support Web Fonts, a standard font from your computer will be used.
