What happens when you visit this website

To display the page, your IP address and the information your browser sends along are processed. This is technically necessary (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). We do not store the IP address and keep no access log.

The website sets no cookies for visitors, stores nothing in your browser unless you ask it to, and embeds no content from third parties. Fonts and images are served by the website itself. That is why there is no cookie notice.

If you switch between light and dark mode yourself, your browser remembers this choice in the local storage of your device. This only happens at your request and only for this function (Section 25(2) No. 2 TDDDG). The setting is not transmitted to us.

Visitor statistics without cookies

We count how often our pages are visited. We only store a total per day, page and language, plus the domain of the page you came from (for example google.com) and whether a phone or a computer was used. If the address you open contains a campaign tag, for example from a printed QR code, we count that tag as well. We store no IP addresses and no identifiers that could link individual visits. It is therefore not possible to identify you.

Links to the websites of our member pharmacies pass briefly through our server. We only count which pharmacy was clicked and whether a phone or a computer was used, then forward you immediately.

If you search for a pharmacy by postcode, our server calculates the distances and does not store the postcode. We only count how often people search from a region, based on the first two digits.

We use these figures to improve the website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). The statistics do not access your device, so no consent under Section 25 TDDDG is required. If your browser sends a “Do Not Track” or “Global Privacy Control” signal, we do not count your visit. We delete the totals after 25 months.

Login to the internal area

Only staff of the head office log in under “Internal” to maintain content. For this, the website sets a cookie that keeps the login for at most eight hours. It is strictly necessary for this service (Section 25(2) No. 2 TDDDG) and is only created when logging in.

Hosting

The website is hosted by Cloudflare, Inc., 101 Townsend Street, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA. Cloudflare delivers the pages through data centres near you and processes your IP address in doing so, also to fend off attacks. The database and images of the website are stored in data centres in the European Union. A data processing agreement under Art. 28 GDPR is in place with Cloudflare. Where data reaches the USA in the process, this is based on the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, under which Cloudflare is certified, and on the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission.

Contact by email or phone

When you write to us or call us, we process your details to answer your request (Art. 6(1)(b) or (f) GDPR). We delete them as soon as they are no longer needed and no statutory retention periods apply.

Links to member pharmacies

The website links to the websites of our member pharmacies. Data is only transferred to the respective operator once you click such a link. Their own privacy policy applies to their pages.

Your rights

You have the right to access, rectification, erasure and restriction of processing, to data portability, and to object to processing based on legitimate interests (Art. 15 to 21 GDPR). You can also lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority, for example the State Commissioner for Data Protection of Lower Saxony.
