II. Personal data
1. processing of personal data
Personal data is individual information about the personal or factual circumstances of an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes information such as first name and surname, address, date of birth, state of health, information about medical treatment. Information that is not directly or indirectly linked to a person, such as websites visited or the number of users of a page, is not personal data.
We only process our users' personal data to the extent necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. The processing of our users' personal data only takes place regularly with the user's consent. An exception applies in cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.

The processing of our users' personal data only takes place regularly with the user's consent. An exception applies in cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.
2. legal basis for the processing of personal data
Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis. When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis. In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis. If the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.
3. data erasure and storage duration
The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Data may also be stored if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the controller is subject. The data will also be blocked or erased if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.
III. Use of cookies
Our website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in the Internet browser or by the Internet browser on the user's computer system. When a user accesses a website, a cookie may be stored on the user's operating system. This cookie contains a characteristic string of characters that enables the browser to be uniquely identified when the website is called up again.
We use cookies to make our website more user-friendly. Some elements of our website require that the accessing browser can be identified even after a page change.

1. legal basis for the use of cookies
The legal basis for the processing of personal data using cookies is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.
2 Purpose of the use of cookies
The use of technically necessary cookies simplifies the use of websites for users. The use of cookies makes it possible, for example, to remember login information and thus recognize the browser even after a page change. The user data collected by technically necessary cookies is not used to create user profiles, but only for the scientific analysis of user behavior as part of the time-limited GAP research project. These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in the processing of personal data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.
3. duration of storage, possibility of objection and removal
Cookies are stored on the user's computer and transmitted by it to our website. As a user, you therefore have full control over the use of cookies. By changing the settings in your Internet browser, you can usually deactivate or restrict the transmission of cookies from websites or you can delete cookies that have already been stored. We have blocked these options for deactivating, restricting or deleting cookies for tala-med.info, as the cookies used in the GAP research project are absolutely necessary for the scientific analysis of user behavior.
4. use of external services such as YouTube
The integrated media, which are provided via the YouTube video platform, for example, are only activated after confirmation by the user (opt-in). This means that no data flows to YouTube from people who have only selected the necessary cookie settings. As a result, these users cannot use YouTube content. Marketing cookies can be accepted in order to view embedded YouTube videos. Once the red play button is clicked, YouTube's data protection regulations apply, as if the person were browsing YouTube directly.
IV. Analysis of website usage
1. scope of the processing of personal data
We use the open source software tool Matomo (formerly PIWIK) on our website to analyse the surfing behaviour of our users. The software places a cookie on the user's computer. The Matomo software creates a user profile for each user and stores the following data
(1) A unique but non-identifiable identifier (pseudonym) for each user (2) The anonymized IP address ("Internet address") of the user. (3) The region from which the access was made. (4) The internet provider through which the access was made. (5) The operating system and the browser from which the access was made. (6) The website accessed. (7) The website from which the user accessed the website (referrer). (8) The subpages that are accessed from the accessed website. (9) The time spent on the website. (10) The frequency with which the website is accessed. (11) Certain actions performed by the user on the website (video viewed, downloads performed).
The software runs exclusively on the servers of our website. Users' personal data is only stored there. The data is not passed on to third parties. The software is set so that the IP addresses are not stored in full, but 2 bytes of the IP address are masked (e.g.: 192.168.xxx.xxx). In this way, it is no longer possible to assign the shortened IP address to the calling computer.
2. legal basis for the processing of personal data
The legal basis for the processing of users' personal data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.
3. purpose of data processing
The processing of users' personal data enables us to analyze the surfing behavior of our users. By evaluating the data obtained,
we are able to compile information about the use of the individual components of our website. This helps us to constantly improve our website and its user-friendliness. These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in processing the data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. By anonymizing the IP address, the interest of users in the protection of their personal data is sufficiently taken into account.
4. duration of storage
The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for our recording purposes.
V. Rights of the data subject
If your personal data is processed, you are a data subject within the meaning of the DSGVO and you have the following rights vis-à-vis the controller.
1. right to information
You can request confirmation from the controller as to whether personal data concerning you is being processed by us.

(1) the purposes for which the personal data are processed; (2) the categories of personal data which are processed; (3) the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been or will be the categories of recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been or will be disclosed; ( 4) the envisaged period for which the personal data concerning you will be stored, or, if specific information on this is not possible, the criteria used to determine that period (5) the existence of a right to rectification or erasure of personal data concerning you, a right to restriction of processing by the controller or a right to object to such processing; (6) the existence of a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority; (7) any available information as to the source of the data if the personal data are not collected from the data subject; (8) the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, referred to in Art. 22 (1) and (4) GDPR and - at least in these cases - meaningful information on the logic involved and the scope and intended effects of such processing for the data subject. (9) You have the right to request information as to whether the personal data concerning you are transferred to a third country or to an international organization. In this context, you may request to be informed of the appropriate safeguards pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR in connection with the transfer. This right of access may be restricted to the extent that it is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the research or statistical purposes and the restriction is necessary for the fulfillment of the research or statistical purposes.
2. right to rectification
You have a right to rectification and/or completion vis-à-vis the controller if the processed personal data concerning you is incorrect or incomplete. The controller must carry out the rectification without undue delay.
Your right to rectification may be restricted to the extent that it is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the
achievement of the research or statistical purposes and the restriction is necessary for the fulfillment of the research or statistical purposes.
3. right to restriction of processing
Under the following conditions, you may request the restriction of the processing of personal data concerning you:
(1) if you contest the accuracy of the personal data concerning you for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data; (2) the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the personal data and request the restriction of their use instead; (3) the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but they are required by you for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims, or (4) if you have objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21 para. 1 DSGVO and it is not yet certain whether the legitimate reasons of the controller outweigh your reasons.
If the processing of personal data concerning you has been restricted, this data - apart from its storage - may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense 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 Union or of a Member State. If the restriction of processing has been restricted in accordance with the above conditions, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted. Your right to restriction of processing may be restricted to the extent that it is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the research or statistical purposes and the restriction is necessary for the fulfillment of the research or statistical purposes.
4. right to erasure
a) Obligation to erase
You have the right to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning you without undue delay and the controller shall have the obligation to erase personal data without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies:
(1) The personal data concerning you are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed. (2) You withdraw your consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR and there is no other legal basis for the processing.

c) Exceptions The right to erasure does not apply if the processing is necessary
(1) for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information; (2) for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller; (3) for reasons of public interest in the area of public health pursuant to Art. 9 para. 2 lit. h and i and Art. 9 para. 3 DSGVO; ( 4) for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes in accordance with Art. 89 para. 1 DSGVO, insofar as the right referred to in section a) is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of that processing; or (5) for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

(1) the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO and (2) the processing is carried out using automated procedures.
In exercising this right, you also have the right to have the personal data concerning you transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible. The freedoms and rights of other persons must not be affected by this. The right to data portability does not apply to the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

If the personal data concerning you are processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such advertising; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with such direct marketing.
If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for these purposes.
You have the possibility to exercise your right to object in relation to the use of information society services - notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC - by means of automated procedures using technical specifications.
You also have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to processing of personal data concerning you which is carried out for scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89 (1) DSGVO.
Your right to object may be restricted to the extent that it is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the research or statistical purposes and the restriction is necessary for the fulfillment of the research or statistical purposes.
8. right to revoke the declaration of consent under data protection law
You have the right to revoke your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
9. automated decision-making in individual cases, including profiling
You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. This does not apply if the decision
(1) is necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between you and the controller, (2) is authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or (3) is based on your explicit consent.
However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Art. 9 para. 1 DSGVO, unless Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a or g DSGVO applies and appropriate measures have been taken to protect the rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests. With regard to the cases referred to in (1) and (3), the data controller shall implement suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express your point of view and to contest the decision.
