When we subsequently talk about data, we mean your personal information. This is all the information that identifies you as a person, directly or indirectly.

About this Policy
This policy explains when and why we collect personal information, how we use it and how we keep it secure and your rights in relation to it. We may collect, use and store your personal data, as described in this Data Privacy Policy and as described when we collect data from you. We reserve the right to amend this Data Privacy Policy from time to time without prior notice. You are advised to check our website (www.medel.com) regularly for any amendments (but amendments will not be made retrospectively). We will always comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) when dealing with your personal data. For the purposes of the GDPR, we will be the "controller" of all personal data we hold about you.

Which data are being processed and from which sources does this data come from?
We process personal data that we receive from you in the course of the business relationship. In addition, we process personal data that we receive from third parties and/or public accessible sources (eg business register, register of associations, country register, press, media) in a permissible manner (eg for the fulfillment of orders / contracts, fulfillment of legal obligations or consent granted by you).
Your personal data includes in particular:
Name
Contact information including e-mail address and phone numbers
Professional information such as organization and job title
Demographic information such as postal code, geographic location, preferences and interests
Other information relevant to market research studies
IP-Address
For what purposes and on what legal basis is your data being processed?
Your data is collected in order to verify whether or not you are allowed to participate in the webinar you are interested in attending and to send you information (for example, reminders and recordings) regarding the webinar you registered for.
We may also use your information to contact you regarding our annual survey and additional marketing or promotional materials regarding our activities in accordance with the privacy policy.
We process your personal data in accordance with the data protection regulations (DSGVO and the Data Protection Act (DSG) in the current version).
Who receives your data?
Within MED-EL Elektromedizinische Geräte Gesellschaft m.b.H., only those departments or employees receive your data, as far as they need it for processing for the corresponding purposes. In addition, commissioned by us processors (IT service providers, printing services, marketing, etc.) receive your data, if they need the data to fulfill their respective performance. All processors have been carefully selected and take appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure that your data is processed in accordance with data protection obligations and that your rights are protected. Above all, contract processors are not permitted to use your personal data for their own purposes.
With regard to a transfer of data to other third parties, we point out that such a transfer is made only on the basis of a valid legal basis and for pre-determined purposes.
Update
The updating of your personal data takes place primarily on the basis of your direct feedback or change notices to us. However, updating is also possible due to information from third parties or the use of publicly available information.
How long will your data be stored?
We process your personal data, as far as necessary, for the duration of our business relationship (initiation, processing and termination of a contract) as well as in accordance with the statutory storage and documentation obligations arising from the Austrian Commercial Code (UGB) and the Federal Tax Code (BAO) or to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
In addition, the storage period is also judged by the statutory limitation periods, which may be, for example, under the General Civil Code (ABGB) usually 30 years, in some cases, but only 3 years.
Basically, your data will therefore be deleted after complete execution of the contract, revocation of your consent or your objection, if the storage for the fulfillment of a legal obligation or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims is not required. Further processing will only take place if you have expressly consented to the further use of your data or if we have reserved any further data processing that is permitted by law.
There is the possibility that anonymisation of the data is carried out instead of a deletion. In this case, any personal reference is irretrievably removed, which is why the data protection cancellation obligations no longer apply. In this case, no personal reference can be restored.

Right of access – Art. 15 GDPR:

In Austria the data protection authority is responsible.

Is there an obligation to provide data?
As part of the business relationship, you only need to provide the personal information that is required to establish and conduct the business relationship or that we are required to collect by law. You are also required to notify us of any changes in your data. Without this data, we will usually have to refuse the conclusion of the contract or the execution of the contract or an existing contract can no longer be performed and consequently terminated.
Is my data used for automated decision making including profiling?
We do not use automated decision-making according to Art. 22 DSGVO.
