6. Newsletter

We use the double opt-in procedure for sending newsletters, meaning we will only send you a newsletter by e-mail if you have previously explicitly permitted us to activate the newsletter service.

We only send newsletters after you have signed up, meaning you have given your consent in accordance with Article 6 (1) (a) of the GDPR. We explicitly reserve the right to apply other legal bases. Where the contents of a newsletter are concretely defined when you subscribe to the newsletter, such contents are definitive for the scope of consent. Our newsletters also contain information about our products, offers, promotions and our company.

If you subscribe to the newsletter from the MyVITA area, we do not have to use the double-opt-in procedure because your email address was already confirmed via the verification link when you logged in to the members area for the first time. In this case, a single opt-in in the MyVITA area is sufficient (you simply click a checkbox).

If you no longer want to receive newsletters from us, you can withdraw your consent at any time. To do this, simply send a message (e.g., e-mail, letter) to the above contact address or datenschutz@vita-zahnfabrik.com. You can also use the unsubscribe link included included in each newsletter.

In addition, if you have consented to the use and storage of third-party cookies, YouTube may store cookies on your device. We do not receive information about the nature and extent of the data collected by YouTube and have no influence on its use. Where videos are embedded, it also means that YouTube may be informed that your browser has accessed the page of this website containing the video, even if you do not have a YouTube account or are not logged in to YouTube. Your data is processed to enable you to use the aforementioned features and certain content on our website pursuant to Article 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR. In addition, we have a legitimate interest in using the content and services of third parties for efficient operation and optimization of our website.

Please refer to YouTube's privacy policy for more information regarding the purpose and scope of data collection, processing and use by YouTube as well as your rights and the available settings for protecting your privacy.

 

If you do not want these providers to associate your visit to this website to their local user account, you must log out of the provider's service before visiting this website. Even if you do not have an account with these providers, websites with enabled plug-ins can use cookies to send data to the providers, allowing them to create a pseudonymized user profile, for example.

The YouTube videos included on this website, which are stored at http://www.youtube.com and can be played directly from this website, are embedded in "enhanced privacy mode." According to YouTube, this means that if you do not play the videos, you will not be transferring any information about you as a user to YouTube.

You can prevent the storage of cookies by disabling "third-party cookies" (see Section 7) or by configuring your browser settings accordingly or by using browser extensions such as "Adblock Plus" (https://adblockplus.org/de/) in in combination with "EasyPrivacy" list (https://easylist.to/). However, please be advised that you may not be able to use all the features of our website in that case.

 

  1. Recipients of personal data

We will only share your personal data with external recipients where it is necessary for fulfilling or processing your request, where you have given us your consent to do so, or where another form of legal permission applies.

External recipients include:

  • Processors: These are service providers that we use for the provision of services, for example for the technical infrastructure and maintenance of our website. These processors are carefully selected and regularly reviewed by us to ensure that your privacy is safeguarded. These service providers may only use your data for the purposes specified by us and according to our instructions. We are entitled to use such processors according to the provisions of Article 28 of the GDPR.
  • Public authorities: These include regulators, government institutions and other public-sector entities, such as supervisory authorities, courts, prosecutors or tax authorities. Personal data will only be transferred to such public authorities for legally compelling reasons. The legal basis for such a transfer may be Article 6 (1), sentence 1 (c) of the GDPR.
  • Private entities: Service providers and assistants, such as accountants or auditors, to whom data is transferred on the basis of a legal obligation or to protect legitimate interests. In this case, the legal basis for transfer is Article 6 (1), sentence 1 (c) and/or (f) DSGVO.

 

  1. Data processing in third countries

Prior to transferring your data to third countries outside the EU or the EEA as described above, we ensure that, except where permitted by law in exceptional circumstances, the recipient has an adequate level of privacy or that you give consent to the transfer of data. An appropriate level of data protection is ensured, for example, if the recipient has an EU-US Privacy Shield certification, if EU standard contractual clauses have been concluded or binding corporate rules (BCR) exist.

 

12. Duration of storage

We only store your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose or until you withdraw your consent, provided you have given consent. If you withdraw your consent, we will no longer process your personal data, unless its processing is permitted or even strictly required by the relevant statutory provisions (for example, in order to meet commercial and tax-related retention requirements). We also delete your personal data if we are obligated to do so for legal reasons.

In addition, please refer to the details about the duration of storage of your personal data in the individual explanations in the previous sections.

 

13. Your rights

As a data subject, you have many rights with regard to the processing of your data. These are:

  • Right of access (Art. 15 GDPR): You have the right to obtain information about the data we have stored concerning you.
  • Right to rectification and erasure (Articles 16 and 17 GDPR): You may ask us to rectify inaccurate data and, insofar as the legal requirements are met, delete your data.
  • Right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR): Provided legal requirements are met, you may request that we restrict the processing of your data.
  • Right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR): If you have provided us with data based on a contract or consent, insofar as legal requirements are met, you have the right to receive the data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used format or ask us to transfer it to another controller.
  • Right to object to data processing based on legitimate interests (Art. 21 GDPR): You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to the processing of your data by us, insofar as your objection is based on legitimate interests pursuant to Article 6 (1), sentence 1 (f) of the GDPR. If you exercise your right to object, we will cease to process your data, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for further processing that override your rights.
  • Right to object to cookies: You can also object to the use of cookies at any time. If you want to object to the use of certain cookies, please see our comments in Section 7.
  • Withdrawal of consent (Art. 7 GDPR): If you have given us consent to process your data, you can withdraw your consent to future processing at any time. This does not affect the lawfulness of the processing of your data up until you withdraw your consent.
  • Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR): You can also lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority if you believe that the processing of your data violates applicable law. You may choose to contact either the data protection authority responsible for your location, place of work, or location of the alleged breach; or you may contact our own data protection authority. The data protection supervisory authority responsible for us is the State Data Protection Commissioner for Baden-Württemberg (www.baden-wuerttemberg.datenschutz.de).
