3. General notes and mandatory information
Data protection
The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially
and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this Privacy Policy.
When you use this website, various personal data are collected. Personal data is data with which you can be personally identified.
This Privacy Policy explains which data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.
We point out that data transmission on the internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) may have security gaps. Complete protection
of data from access by third parties is not possible.
Note on the responsible body
The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:
Prof. Dr. med. Frank Martetschläger
Specialist in Orthopaedics and Trauma Surgery, AGA Instructor
Effnerstr. 38
81925 Munich
Germany
Telephone: +49 (0) 89 20 4000 180
E-mail: info@schulterspezialist-martetschlaeger.de
The responsible body (controller) is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g. names, e-mail addresses, etc.).
Storage period
Unless a more specific storage period has been specified within this Privacy Policy, your personal data will remain with us until
the purpose for data processing ceases to apply. If you make a justified request for erasure or revoke your consent to data processing,
your data will be deleted, unless we have other legally permissible grounds for storing your personal data (e.g. retention periods
under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, deletion will take place after these reasons no longer apply.
General information on the legal bases of data processing on this website
If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR,
if special categories of data according to Art. 9(1) GDPR are processed. In the case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal
data to third countries, data processing is also carried out on the basis of Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage
of cookies or to the access to information on your end device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), data processing is additionally based
on Section 25(1) TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is required for the performance of a contract or for the
implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data
if this is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation on the basis of Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. Data processing may also be carried out on the basis
of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The respective legal bases in each individual case are explained in the following
paragraphs of this Privacy Policy.
Note on data transfer to the USA and other third countries
We use tools from companies based in the USA or other non-secure third countries from a data protection perspective. If these tools are
active, your personal data may be transferred to these third countries and processed there. We point out that in these countries no level
of data protection comparable to that in the EU can be guaranteed. For example, US companies are obliged to hand over personal data to
security authorities without you as the data subject being able to take legal action against this. It can therefore not be ruled out that
US authorities (e.g. intelligence services) may process, analyse and permanently store your data stored on US servers for surveillance
purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.
Revocation of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke consent already given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Right to object to data collection in specific cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
IF DATA PROCESSING IS CARRIED OUT ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT, AT ANY TIME AND ON GROUNDS RELATING
TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS.
THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS
YOUR PERSONAL DATA CONCERNED, UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS,
RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR).
WHERE YOUR PERSONAL DATA ARE PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO PROCESSING OF
PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING.
IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(2) GDPR).
Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority
In the event of infringements of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular
in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work or the place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint
is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to data portability
You have the right to have data which we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract handed over
to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller,
this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.
Right of access, erasure and rectification
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain free information about your stored personal data,
its origin and recipients and the purpose of data processing and, where applicable, a right to rectification or erasure of this data.
You can contact us at any time regarding this and if you have further questions on the subject of personal data.
Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time for this purpose.
The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:
- If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data.
- If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
- If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it for the exercise, defence or establishment of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data instead of erasure.
- If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of your interests and ours must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data – apart from its storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.
SSL or TLS encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or requests that you send to us as the
site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of
the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.
If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data that you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
4. Data collection on this website
Cookies
Our internet pages use so-called “cookies”. Cookies are small data packets and do not cause any damage to your end device. They are
either stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies) on your end device.
Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your end device until you delete them
yourself or they are automatically deleted by your web browser.
In some cases, cookies from third-party companies may also be stored on your end device when you visit our website (third-party cookies).
These allow us or you to use certain services of the third-party company (e.g. cookies for processing payment services).
Cookies have different functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them
(e.g. the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies are used to analyse user behaviour or to display advertising.
Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process, to provide certain functions you have requested (e.g. for
the shopping cart function) or to optimise the website (e.g. cookies for measuring the web audience) (necessary cookies) are stored on
the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage
of necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimised provision of its services. If consent to the storage of cookies and
comparable recognition technologies has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6(1)(a)
GDPR and Section 25(1) TTDSG); consent can be revoked at any time.
You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the
acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies
are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be restricted.
Insofar as cookies from third-party companies or for analysis purposes are used, we will inform you separately about this within this
Privacy Policy and, if necessary, request your consent.

When you enter our website, a Borlabs cookie is stored in your browser, in which the consents you have given or the revocation of these
consents are stored. This data is not passed on to the provider of Borlabs Cookie.
The collected data will be stored until you ask us to delete it, delete the Borlabs cookie yourself or the purpose for data storage no longer
applies. Mandatory statutory retention periods remain unaffected. Details on data processing by Borlabs Cookie can be found at:

When the social media element is active, a direct connection is established between your end device and the Facebook server. Facebook thereby
receives the information that you have visited this website with your IP address. If you click the Facebook “Like” button while you are logged
into your Facebook account, you can link the contents of this website on your Facebook profile. This allows Facebook to associate your visit

According to this agreement, we are responsible for providing data protection information when using the Facebook tool and for implementing the tool
on our website in a manner that is secure under data protection law. For the data security of Facebook products, Facebook is responsible. You can assert
data subject rights (e.g. requests for information) regarding the data processed by Facebook directly with Facebook. If you assert data subject rights
with us, we are obliged to forward them to Facebook.
