Privacy policy

Data protection declaration / duty to provide information according to §5 TMG & Art. 13/14 GDPR

At HOYA Surgical Optics GmbH, we believe the protection of personal data involves far more than just complying with legislation. We are therefore happy that you are interested in how we handle personal data.

We always process personal data such as a person’s name, address, e-mail address, or phone number in accordance with applicable privacy law.

With this privacy notice, we would like to inform everyone about the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data that we collect, use, and process. Furthermore, we would like to explain to the persons concerned the rights to which they are entitled.

HOYA Surgical Optics GmbH has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data processed via this Web site is protected as comprehensively as possible.

Despite the care we take, Internet-based data transmission is vulnerable to security flaws and, consequently, absolute protection can never be guaranteed. For this reason, you of course have the option of transmitting your personal data by alternative means, for example, by telephone or post.

Cookies

The Web site for HOYA Surgical Optics GmbH uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are downloaded and stored on a computer system through a Web browser.

There are numerous Web sites and servers that use cookies. Many cookies contain what is called a cookie ID, which acts as a unique identifier for the cookie. The ID consists of a sequence of characters through which Web sites and servers can recognize the specific Web browser in which the cookie was saved. This makes it possible for the visited Web sites and servers to differentiate between the data subject’s individual browser and other browsers that receive other cookies. Specific Web browsers can thus be recognized and identified using the unique cookie ID.

By using cookies, HOYA Surgical Optics GmbH can provide Web site users with more user-friendly services that would otherwise not be possible.

The use of cookies optimizes the information and offerings on our Web site for the user’s benefit. Cookies enable us to recognize the people using our Web site, as described above. The reason we seek to recognize users is so that we can make it easier for them to use our Web site. A person who uses a Web site that saves cookies, for example, does not have to repeatedly log in every time he/she visits the site, as the Web site and the cookie saved on the user’s computer take care of it for him/her. Another example is the cookie saved for a shopping basket in an online shop. The online shop remembers the items the customer puts in his/her virtual basket by using a cookie.

The data subject can at any time stop cookies being saved by our Web site by activating the corresponding settings in his/her Web browser and, in doing so, permanently object to cookies being saved. Furthermore, cookies that have already been saved can be deleted at any time using the Web browser or other software programs. This is a function available in all common Web browsers. If the data subject deactivates his/her Web browser’s cookie-saving function, it may in some cases no longer be possible to use the complete functionality of our Web site.

Data Protection Provisions for the Use of Google Analytics (with Anonymization Function)

The controller has integrated the Google Analytics component into this Web site (using the anonymization function). Google Analytics is a Web analytics service. Web analytics involves the collection, storage, and analysis of data regarding the behavior of Web site visitors. A Web analytics service records data that includes the Web site from which a data subject has arrived at another (called the “referrer”), the sub-sites that are accessed on a Web site, and the length of time spent on a sub-site. Web analytics is used primarily to optimize Web sites and for cost-benefit analyses on Internet advertising.

The company operating the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, United States.

The controller adds the “_gat.anonymizelp” feature for the Web analytics service provided by Google Analytics. This extension abbreviates and anonymizes the IP address of the data subject’s Internet connection when our Web site is visited from a member state of the European Union or European Economic Area.

The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze visitor traffic to our Web site. Google uses the acquired data and information for purposes such as analysis of our Web site’s usage, composing online reports for us that display the activities on our Web site, and rendering other services associated with the usage of our Web site.

Google Analytics saves a cookie on the data subject’s information technology system. There is an explanation of what cookies are earlier in this notice. Saving cookies enables Google to analyze how our Web site is used. Every time an individual page is visited on this Web site, the latter being operated by the controller and featuring an integrated Google Analytics component, the relevant Google Analytics component automatically causes the Web browser on the data subject’s information technology system to transfer data to Google for online analysis. As part of this technological operation, Google gains knowledge of personal data such as the data subject’s IP address, which is used to enable Google to perform actions such as tracking visitor origin and clicks, which is in turn used to calculate commission.

The cookie is used to save personal information, for example time of visit, place the visit was from, and frequency of the data subject’s visits to our Web site. Every time our Web site is visited, this personal data, including the IP address for the data subject’s Internet connection, is transferred to Google in the United States. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States. In some cases, Google shares the personal data collected through these technological processes with third parties.

As already explained above, the data subject can at any time stop cookies being saved by our Web site through his/her Web browser’s corresponding settings and at the same time permanently object to cookies being saved. Web browser settings along these lines generally also prevent Google from saving cookies on the data subject’s information technology system. Furthermore, cookies that have already been saved by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time using the Web browser or other software programs.

Additionally, the data subject has the option of objecting to and preventing the acquisition of data generated by Google Analytics in relation to use of this Web site and objecting to and preventing the processing of this data by Google. To utilize this option, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on available at this link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on uses JavaScript to tell Google Analytics that data and information on Web site visits must not be transferred to Google Analytics. Installation of the browser add-on is deemed an objection by Google. If the data subject’s information technology system is erased, reformatted, or reinstalled at a later point in time, the data subject will have to reinstall the browser add-on to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the data subject or a person subject to his/her influence, it is possible to reinstall or reactivate the browser add-on.

You can find more information and Google’s applicable privacy provisions at https://www.google.de/intl/en/policies/privacy/ and http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/us.html. Google Analytics is explained in more detail at https://www.google.com/intl/en_us/analytics/.

Data Protection Provisions for the Use of Google Fonts

The controller has integrated Google Fonts into this Web site. Google provides free fonts that can be used when designing Web sites.

So that fonts can be displayed consistently, this Web site uses Web fonts that are provided by Google LLC., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States (“Google”). When visiting a page on our Web site, the data subject’s browser loads the required Web fonts into its cache so that it can display text and fonts correctly.

For this purpose, the browser used by the data subject must establish a connection with Google’s servers. This process informs Google of the corresponding page being visited from the data subject’s IP address. We use Google Web fonts in the interest of presenting our online offering consistently and appealingly. This represents a legitimate interest as provided in GDPR art. 6(1)(f). If the data subject’s browser does not support Web fonts, the data subject’s computer will use a default font.

Google LLC., based in the United States, has been certified for the purposes of the U.S.-EU “Privacy Shield” data protection framework, which ensures compliance with the level of privacy required in the EU.

You can find more information about Google Fonts at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google’s privacy policy at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.
