When you visit our website, we record the following data transmitted by your browser:

IP-Address
Date and time of your request
Time zone difference to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
Content of the request (specific page)
State of access/HTTP-status code
Browser
Language and version of the browser software

The data is also stored in the log files of our system, whereby the IP address is anonymized when entered.

The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is GDPR art.6 para 1 subpara f.
The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to provide a transmission of the website to the user’s computer. For this purpose, the user’s IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session. This is also the reason for our legitimate interest in this process.

The reporting is used for the internal evaluation of our offer, to optimize the display of our website and to identify and defend against misuse. The record is used for the internal evaluation of our offer, to optimize the display of our website and to identify and defend against misuse. The collected data will not be linked with other data sources and will not be used for marketing purposes.

These purposes define our legitimate interest in data processing according to GDPR art.6 para 1 subpara f.

The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary for the purpose for which they were collected. If data is collected for the purpose of providing the website, it will be deleted as soon as the respective session has ended.

For the storage of the data in log files, this is after 30 days at the latest.

The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in log files is mandatory for the functioning of the website. There is therefore no possibility of objection on the part of the user.

Note on data security

We use the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) procedure on our website in combination with the highest encryption level supported by your browser. In general, this is a 256 bit encryption. If your browser does not support 256-bit encryption, we use 128-bit technology instead. You can tell whether an individual page of our website is being transmitted in encrypted form by the closed display of the key or lock symbol in the lower status bar of your browser.

We also use appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect your data against accidental or deliberate manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction or unauthorised access by third parties. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.

Our services for registered users

If you would like to take the opportunity to order goods in our web shop or in our order portals for dental and hearing technology, you can register on our portal. For this purpose, we need personal data from you:

  • Salutation
  • First and last name
  • Address (Business)
  • Phone number
  • E-mail address
  • Related company including industry, VAT ID no. etc.

During the usage process, technically necessary information such as IP address, time of access, etc. is also collected, which allows us to technically implement our service according to current security standards.

Subsequently, after a comparison with the relevant sanctions lists (in accordance with GDPR art.6 para 1 subpara c in the case of a possible personal reference), you have the opportunity to make use of our services. The legal basis for the data collected in the course of registration and use of our portal is the requirement for the fulfilment of the contract in accordance with GDPR art.6 para 1 subpara b, if you are acting as an independent individual in your own name, alternatively our legitimate interest in being able to name an individually identifiable natural person at our contractual partner, GDPR art.6 para 1 subpara f.

As soon as you place an order within one of our portals or in the web shop, further details on your payment modalities may be required, which are necessary for the execution of the contract. Depending on the occasion, a credit assessment may also be required in individual cases, but not as a lump sum and not automatically. If such a credit check is carried out, it also affects natural persons acting independently if they decide to register on our portal. In such a case, the check carried out is required for the execution of the contract in accordance with GDPR art.6 para 1 subpara b. Although a scoring value is automatically calculated by the company commissioned for a credit assessment, no automated decision making is made on the basis of this value, but is based on an individual assessment of the individual case.

Your data will be stored for 6 or 10 years, respectively, within the framework of the legal obligations to provide evidence under commercial and tax law, starting from the year following the conclusion of the contract, GDPR art.6 para 1 subpara b.

If you would like to object to our depositing your data in the context of our legitimate interest, please contact datenschutzbeauftragte@dreve.de.

Chat Service

After registration, our customers have the choice to contact us via chat for advice on our products. To make this possible we use products of the provider Userlike UG, Probsteigasse 44–46, 50670 Cologne, Germany. This provider will act for us as processor as soon as personal data is involved. In this case, we process the data of our contact person within the scope of our legitimate interest in being able to offer our customers an uncomplicated and up-to-date consulting option, GDPR art.6 para 1 subpara f. It is also possible that no further data will be provided apart from the connection data (IP address, etc.) which is required for technical reasons. There is no direct assignment of the chat to the customer in our customer database. Information is solely fed manually into our customer database if this is appropriate in accordance with our legitimate interest, in order to offer our customers the best possible service, GDPR art.6 para 1 subpara f.

Data of third parties

If data of your customers or patients is obtained within the context of your order, we will act on your behalf and process the received data according to your instructions. In this case, it is for you as the contractor to comply with the legal obligations arising from data protection, which are not subject to us in the context of processing the order.

Contact form

On our website there is a contact form which can be used for electronic contact. If a user takes advantage of this option, the data entered in the input mask is transmitted to us and will be stored. This data is in addition to the user’s formulated requests:

  • Address of the contact person
  • Name
  • E-mail address
  • Phone number
  • Associated company (optional)
  • Address (optional)

At the time the message is sent, the following data is also stored:

  • IP address
  • Date and time of entry

Alternatively, it is possible to contact us via the provided e-mail address. In this case, the user’s personal data transmitted with the e-mail will be stored.

In this context, the data will not be passed on to third parties. The data will be used exclusively for processing the conversation.

If necessary for this purpose, the data will be processed within the framework of the initiation or execution of a contractual relationship, GDPR art.6 para 1 subpara b. In all other respects, processing may take place within the scope of our legitimate interests, GDPR art.6 para 1 subpara f. Our legitimate interest here is to provide an uncomplicated opportunity for possible interested parties in our services or for other visitors to our website to contact us. Our legitimate interests may also lie, for example, in the internal forwarding of the enquiry to enable another employee to answer it or in similar organisational measures to ease the workload. This does not include unexpected or excessive processing that is disadvantageous to the sender.

The collection of data from the input mask is carried out exclusively for the purpose of processing your enquiry and providing information about our services. Your data will not be passed on or used for other purposes.

The other personal data processed during the sending process serves to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.

The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required for the purpose of their collection. For the personal data from the input mask of the contact form and those sent by e-mail, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended. The conversation is finished when it can be concluded from the circumstances that the matter in question has been finally clarified.

The additional personal data collected during the sending process will be deleted after a period of 30 days at the latest.

The user can object to the storage of his personal data at any time. For this purpose, an informal e-mail to our data protection officer (address see above) stating the data required for the assignment of the contact is sufficient. In such a case the conversation cannot be continued. All personal data stored in the course of the contact will be deleted in this case.

Correspondence in the context of the fulfilment of contracts

If you represent a company in communication with us, the processing is based on Art. 6 para. I lit. f DSGVO, whereby our legitimate interest lies in the establishment and support of business relationships. In individual cases, processing may also be based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO if you have given us your consent for contact and/or correspondence.

If we receive your e-mail address in connection with the performance of a contract with you or the company you represent, we will send you information about our products and services at irregular intervals. This is done on the basis of our legitimate interest in presenting our product portfolio to our customers and arousing further interest in our services.

You can revoke the processing of your e-mail address for this purpose at any time in accordance with Art. 21 (2) DSGVO without giving reasons.

If required for the performance of the contract or by law, we disclose or transfer personal data of our customers to third parties only if this is necessary for the provision of our services according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit b. DSGVO, if it is required by law pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c. DSGVO, if it serves our interests or those of our customers in the efficient and cost-effective provision of services as a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f. DSGVO.

Newsletter

For our newsletter we collect your e-mail address, your preferred form of salutation, your first and last name and your special interests. The registration for our newsletter is done in a so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that after registration you will receive an e-mail requesting to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary so that no one with a foreign e-mail address can register. Newsletter registrations are logged in order to be able to prove the registration process in accordance with legal requirements. This includes the storage of the registration and confirmation time as well as the IP address. Changes to your data stored by the shipping service provider are also recorded.

The dispatch of the newsletter is based on the consent of the recipient in accordance with GDPR art. 6 para 1 subpara a and GDPR art. 7.

The registration procedure is recorded on the basis of our duty of proof in accordance with GDPR art. 6 para 1 subpara c in combination with GDPR art. 7 para 1.

We use your e-mail address to send the newsletter, e-mails and other electronic notifications containing advertising information (hereinafter referred to as “newsletter”) only with the consent of the recipients or a legal permission. If the contents of the newsletter are specifically described in the context of a registration for the newsletter, these are decisive for the consent of the users. Furthermore, our newsletters contain information about our services and us.

Our interest in the logging of the registration process is focused on the use of a user-friendly and secure newsletter system that serves our business interests as well as the expectations of the users and also allows us to comply with our obligation to provide evidence, GDPR art. 6 para 1 subpara c in combination with GDPR art. 6 para 1.

The collected data will be stored until your consent is withdrawn. In order to be able to prove a previously given consent, we can store e-mail addresses that have been removed due to withdrawal for up to three years before we delete them. The processing of this data is then limited to the purpose of fulfilling our obligation to provide evidence and a possible defence against claims. An individual request to delete the data is possible at any time, provided, that the former existence of a consent is confirmed at the same time.

You can cancel the receipt of our newsletter at any time, i.e. you can withdraw your consent. You will find a link to cancel the newsletter at the end of each newsletter.

Online surveys

As part of the online customer satisfaction survey, we collect basic usage data from you, such as IP address and time of access, which are necessary for the technical implementation of the survey. Apart from this we ask about purchasing behavior and satisfaction without establishing a direct personal reference. The survey is therefore largely anonymous; a personal reference would only be theoretically possible by means of the IP address.

This data is evaluated in order to identify room for improvement with regard to our online store and thus to be able to optimize it. At the same time, we would like to be able to respond to justified criticism and offer our users the most pleasant shopping experience possible. We have a legitimate interest to improve the user experience, which is why the processing of your data to conduct the survey is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO.

The survey is conducted with the assistance of the service provider enuvo GmbH ( https://www.umfrageonline.com) by way of commissioned processing. The order processing relationship is secured by a corresponding contract in accordance with Art. 28 (3) DSGVO, the processing takes place exclusively within the scope of application of the DSGVO. Further information on the processing of data by the processor can be found here:
https://www.umfrageonline.com/datenschutz.
Information provided as part of the online survey will be stored by us for a period of one year and then be deleted.

Performance evaluation

The newsletters may contain links which, when opened, transmit information to us via the clicked link and/or the newsletter itself. Within the scope of this retrieval, technical information such as information on the browser and your system as well as your IP address and the time of retrieval are initially collected.

This information is used for technical improvement of the services based on the technical data or the target groups and their reading behavior based on the retrieval locations (which can be determined with the help of the IP address) or the access times. Statistical surveys also include determining whether newsletters are opened, when they are opened and which links are clicked. The evaluations serve to identify the reading habits of our users and to adapt our content to them or to send different content according to the interests of our users.

These evaluation activities are in our legitimate interests as operators of the newsletter, GDPR art. 6 para 1 subpara f.

Social media online presence

We maintain online presences on the Facebook and LinkedIn platforms in order to communicate with the customers, interested parties and users active there and to be able to inform them about our services. When calling up the respective platforms, the terms and conditions and data processing guidelines of the respective operators apply.

Unless otherwise stated in our data protection declaration, we process the data of users if they communicate with us via these platforms, e. g. write articles on our online presences or send us messages. This is done on the basis of our legitimate interest in being able to offer an appealing interaction opportunity for our customers and interested parties.

Furthermore, the data of visitors to our online sites is evaluated by the platform operators and the anonymised data is made available to us. The provision of our online sites on the platforms, which is our responsibility, and the receipt of statistical evaluations of our visitors to these online sites is in our legitimate interest in being able to evaluate our offer and to evaluate our market reach, GDPR art. 6 para 1 subpara f.

The actual statistical evaluation is the responsibility of the platform operators. For more detailed information, you can contact the responsible platform operators at any time, or you can take this information from their data protection declarations.
