2. Data processing on our website
General information
2.1 Integration of third-party services and content
We may use third-party services within our website to, for example, integrate external media, perform analyses, etc. This is always done on a legal basis, such as on the basis of our legitimate interests (e.g. our interest in the analysis, optimization and economical operation of our website) within the meaning of Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. f GDPR or - if this is necessary in individual cases - on the basis of your previously given consent pursuant to Article 6 sec. 1 lit. a GDPR.
Such services generally require that the third-party providers perceive the IP address of the users, since they could not send the corresponding content to the browser without the IP address. The IP address is required for the presentation of such content. We try to only use services whose respective providers only use the IP address for the delivery of the content. Some providers also use so-called “pixel tags” (invisible graphics, also known as "web beacons") for statistical or marketing purposes. The "pixel tags" can be used to evaluate information such as visitor traffic on the pages of this website. The pseudonymous information may also be stored in cookies on the user's device and may include, among other things, technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, visiting time and other information on the use of our online offer, as well as being linked to such information from other sources.
For more information on which services are actually used on this site and how data is processed within their framework, as well as the relevant legal basis, please refer to the explanations on the respective services in the further course of this data protection declaration.

2.5 Legal bases for the processing of personal data
We only process personal data if we have a legal basis to do so. In the following, we will identify the legal bases in question individually in the context of the respective data processing operations. In general, we are always entitled to process personal data, if the person concerned has given its consent (see Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. a, Art. 7 GDPR) if we are obliged to fulfil contractual or pre-contractual obligations (see Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. b GDPR) if we have to fulfil other legal obligations (see Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. c GDPR) or if we safeguard our legitimate interests (see Art. Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. f GDPR).
2.6 Recipients of personal data
We may transfer personal data to processors or other third parties (e.g. hosting agencies, etc.) with whom we cooperate. We are entitled to do this if the data subject has consented to this (see Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. a, Art. 7 DSGVO), if we thereby fulfill contractual or pre-contractual obligations (see Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. b DSGVO), if we thereby fulfill a legal obligation (see Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. c DSGVO) or if we safeguard our legitimate interests (see Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. f DSGVO). We conclude a so-called data processing agreement with data processors in accordance with Art. 28 DSGVO, according to which they also undertake to comply with the rules of data protection.

The hosting services used by us serve to provide the following services: Infrastructure and platform services, computing capacity, storage space and database services, security services and technical maintenance services, which we use for the purpose of operating this website. In doing so, we, or our hosting provider, process inventory data, contact data, content data, contract data, usage data, meta data and communication data of all users of this website. The legal basis for the use of hosting services is the protection of our legitimate interests in the analysis, optimization and the economic and secure operation of our website (see Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. f DSGVO).

2.10 eTracker
We use the service etracker Analytics of etracker GmbH, Erste Brunnenstraße 1, 20459 Hamburg, Imprint: https://www.etracker.com/impressum/ (hereinafter referred to as "etracker"). Here you can find FAQ from etracker regarding the GDPR: https://www.etracker.com/docs/faq/eu-dsgvo/. The privacy policy of etracker can be found here: https://www.etracker.com/datenschutz/.

As standard, etracker Analytics does not use cookies, but records the visiting behavior (using purely technical parameters, such as the abbreviated address or the browser used) within a session (visit to the website) by means of cookieless session tracking. A hash value (combination of characters from which the original data cannot be derived) is generated by means of a fingerprinting procedure from purely technical data (such as the abbreviated IP address or the browser used), to which the date of the page call is added, in order to make a conclusion on the identity of the user even less likely. This value is automatically deleted every 24 hours. Within 24 hours, this fingerprint allows to analyze user behavior.
You can object to the data processing here at any time:
2.12 Google Maps – Pharmacy Finder
We offer you a free service on this website under the name "Pharmacy Finder".
Technically, the pharmacy finder is implemented based on the service Google Maps. This allows us to display interactive maps directly on the website and allows you to use the map function comfortably; including searching and displaying pharmacy locations.
It is the interactive map service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, imprint: https://www.google.de/intl/de/contact/impressum.html. The parent company of this Irish-based company is Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (hereinafter referred to as "Google"). Google's privacy policy is available here: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.
We integrate Google Maps via Google API on our website (the acronym API stands for application programming interface). This is a program interface that allows us to integrate third-party services on our website, the privacy policy regarding the Google API service can be found here: https://developers.google.com/terms/api-services-user-data-policy).
In principle, we only use Google Maps if you have given us your express consent via our Consent tool. The integration of Google Maps on our website and the associated data processing is based on your consent within the meaning of Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. a GDPR. The transfer of your data to a third country from our website is in the present case within the meaning of Artt. 44 ff. GDPR justified by your consent, this follows from Art. 49 sec. 1 lit. a GDPR.
Hinweis: With your consent, your data will then be transferred not only to Ireland but also to the USA and thus to an unsafe third country. There currently are no EU adequacy decision or any other appropriate guarantees for the US. The protection of your data cannot be guaranteed in the destination country USA. There is currently no equivalent level of data protection in the US. Therefore, the transmission is associated with corresponding risks. In particular, there are no guarantees regarding the failure of access to your transferred data by public authorities. For example it cannot be ruled out that US authorities may access your data on the basis of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA; a law that governs the United States' foreign intelligence and counter-espionage services). In this context, we expressly point out that you, as an EU citizen, do not have an effective legal protection against the processing of your data by US authorities on the basis of FISA. If you give your consent, you do so in the knowledge of these risks, which you consciously accept as a result. You can revoke your consent at any time by means of the cookie settings within this privacy policy, in which you only accept essential cookies.
If you have given your consent and then call up the sub-page on which Google Maps is implemented, Google will receive the information about this call-up and a transfer of the personal data mentioned in this data protection declaration will take place in the case of purely informational use of the website to Google. This transfer is used to create a user profile by Google and takes place regardless of whether you have a Google account. However, if an account is available and if you are logged into the account when you access the sub-page on which Google Maps is implemented, this data will be assigned. This data is stored by Google and used for advertising and/or market research purposes, such as the provision of tailored advertising. If you do not want the data to be assigned to your google profile, you must log out before visiting the website with the Maps service.
If you wish to prevent the processing described above by Google Maps and the associated transfer of data to the USA, please do not give your consent or do not visit the subpage containing the "Pharmacy Finder" and/or log out of your Google Account before visiting the site (see above).
