For us – the Neuroth Group* – the trust that our customers and business partners place in us is essential, which is why we pay great attention to a secure and sensitive handling of your data.

Consequently, the following principles apply to the Neuroth Group:

• The legal requirements for data protection are consistently implemented.
• We adhere to the international standards of information security.
• We attach great importance to ensuring that our guidelines on data protection are transparent and comprehensible to all those concerned.

Naturally, we comply with the legal provisions of the Federal Data Protection Act (DSG), the Ordinance to the Federal Data Protection Act (VDSG), the Telecommunications Act (TCA) and other applicable data protection provisions of Swiss or EU law, in particular the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We process your personal data exclusively in accordance with applicable regulations. This website is operated by

Neuroth Hörcenter AG
Alpenstrasse 15, 6300 Zug
VAT No.: CHE-107.418.051. Neuroth Hörcenter AG is therefore to be regarded as the data controller of this website.

The masculine form used in this statement for the purpose of better readability always refers to both genders.

 

1. Objective and scope of this Privacy Statement

In particular with regard to the respect of private and family life, everyone has the right to confidential treatment of personal data to the extent that there is a legitimate interest to protect it.

This Privacy Statement is binding for all employees of the Neuroth Group and comes into force upon adoption and publication by the Neuroth Group’s management. It applies to the handling of all personal data, in particular data relating to customers and business partners.

 

2. Lawfulness of data processing

Processing of personal data is lawful only if and to the extent that at least one of the following applies:

• The data subject has given consent.
• Processing of data is necessary to take certain steps prior to entering into a contract or for the performance of a contract.
• Processing is ordered or permitted by a legal provision.
• Processing serves to protect a legitimate interest, e.g. the enforcement of open claims. This does not apply if there is an indication that interests of the data subject worthy of protection outweigh the interest in the processing, especially if the data subject is a child. This must be examined individually for each processing procedure.

 

Only employees of the Neuroth Group who have been explicitly entrusted with the collection, processing or use of certain personal data are authorised to do so within the scope of fulfilling their tasks.

Any employee of the Neuroth Group is strictly forbidden from using personal data for private purposes or from making it available to any unauthorised person.

 

3. Contract data processing

In the case of data processing by order, a processor (formerly “service provider”) is commissioned to carry out the data processing without being assigned responsibility for the associated business process. Therefore, the following measures must be followed when placing an order:

• Prior to a contractual agreement, it must be verified whether the contractor can guarantee the organizational requirements and security measures necessary for the processing.
• A written contract is required in which the conditions regarding data protection and information security as well as relevant rights of control are agreed upon. In particular, it must be established that the data may only be processed in accordance with the client’s instructions.

 

4. Transfer of personal data

The transfer of personal data to a third party requires a legal basis. This may also result from the fulfilment of a contractual obligation towards the data subject or from consent granted by the data subject. Prior to the transfer of data, appropriate data protection and information security measures must be ensured and agreed with the recipient.

For data protection purposes, other Group companies are considered to be third parties.

Any transfer to governmental institutions or authorities shall be made exclusively on the basis of the relevant legal provisions.

 

5. Rights of data subjects

As a data subject, you have a right to information at the time of data collection.

5.1. Information about the collection and processing of your data

We process such personal data that you have made available to us as a user of our website and/or as a customer and/or as an interested party, for example in the context of an inquiry or registration or in the context of the conclusion of a contract. The following personal data are processed by us:

The processing of your personal data is carried out due to and in connection with the fulfilment of the contract in the course of the adaptation and production of medical aids (hearing aids, hearing protection, visual aids or similar) as well as the fulfilment of the contract in the course of the purchase and sale of such products, including accessories and various services by the Neuroth Group. This also includes the processing of your personal data in connection with the billing of services to the respective social insurance carriers.

This data processing is based on the following legal grounds:

1. the consent you have granted us in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 (a) GDPR as an interested party in the context of a registration for our offer and/or
2. your data disclosure or the (biometric) data collected in the course of an adaptation of our products (hearing tests and measurements, eye tests etc.), so that we can process your order and continue to support you to your fullest satisfaction, as well as in the context of the contract initiation and fulfilment pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 (b) GDPR and/or
3. legal obligations pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 (c) GDPR, which we must fulfil, such as legally required retention and documentation obligations, implementation and administration of accounting arrangements with social welfare agencies and/or
4. marketing and advertising as per Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR (legitimate interest), so that we can provide you as a customer with the best possible service at all times and offer our services and products.

We will only pass on or transfer personal data to third parties if this is necessary for the purpose of executing the contract or for invoicing purposes or if you as a user of our website and/or interested party and/or customer have given your prior consent.

Stored personal data will be deleted if you, as a user of our website and/or interested party and/or customer, revoke your consent to data processing, if your data is no longer required to fulfil the purpose for which it was stored, or if the storage of your data is or becomes inadmissible for other legal reasons. Data for accounting purposes, bookkeeping purposes and to comply with other legal obligations (documentation obligation in the health sector) are not affected by a request for deletion.

Note on data processing in the context of the purchase of products and goods (especially regarding our online store): There is no obligation to provide us with the personal data that we ask you for. However, if you do not provide your personal data, you will not be able to use all the functions of the online store, nor will you be able to order goods or services from our online store. Should the provision of your data be legally binding in certain cases, we will inform you of this separately.

5.2. Disclosure of data and transfer

Your data will be disclosed to external institutions in accordance with the statutory regulations for the settlement of accounts with social insurance carriers. If necessary and in case of need, your personal data will furthermore be disclosed to the authorities, and in case of dispute also to legal representatives and the courts.

Furthermore, your data will be transferred to the following companies or institutions on the basis of the stated legal grounds for the stated purposes:

• Sub-contractors for the production of the medical aids, provided that your data cannot at least be pseudonymised, in connection with the fulfilment of the contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 (b) GDPR,
• Your employer in connection with protective regulations under labour law, e.g. hearing protection, and thus due to legal obligations pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 (c) GDPR,
• Doctors and other health care professionals (nursing homes, etc.) for the purpose of fulfilling legal obligations pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 (c) GDPR, in particular the obligation to retain records, documentation, etc.,
• Marketing agencies for advertising purposes from and in connection with the fulfilment of the contract or if you have provided us with an advertising consent form,
• IT service providers employed by us

Regarding the online store: Transfer of data to the transport company commissioned with the delivery of goods (logistics company or delivery service provider), to companies belonging to our group or to the financial service provider, as far as the transfer is necessary for the delivery of goods or for payment purposes. The legal basis for the transfer of data is Art. 6 para. 1 (b) GDPR. As a matter of principle, your personal data will not be transferred to a third country or to an international organisation, unless this organisation provides appropriate guarantees to the Neuroth Group regarding compliance with the provisions of the GDPR.

Should any of the above recipients be located outside your country or process your personal data there, the following applies: The level of data protection in other countries may not be the same as in your country. However, we will only transfer your personal data to countries for which the European Commission has decided that they offer an adequate level of data protection. Alternatively, we will take measures to ensure that all recipients have an adequate level of data protection. For example, we conclude standard contract clauses (2010/87/EC and/or 2004/915/EC) for this purpose.

 

5.3. Data storage, data access and data security

Your data will be stored in personal form until the end of the business relationship or until the expiration of the warranty, guarantee, statute of limitations and statutory storage and documentation obligations applicable to us; furthermore, until the end of any legal disputes in which your data is required as evidence.

Access to your data is granted to the persons within our company who are involved in the handling and the process. These include in particular:

• the specialist institute or hearing centre or branch office serving you, as well as our service centre,
• marketing and customer service,
• production and operations,

Your data is protected against unauthorized access by encrypted transmission, encrypted storage, a role authorisation concept, a data backup concept and physical protection measures for the servers.

d) Conversion measurement with the Facebook pixel / Facebook Custom Audiences

We use the Facebook Pixel provided by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”) on our website. This enables us to track the activity of our users after they have seen or clicked on a Facebook advertisement and to assess the effectiveness of Facebook advertising for statistical and market research purposes. Data collected in this way is anonymous and does not give us access to personal information about individual users. However, this data is stored and processed by Facebook, which we inform you about according to our state of knowledge. Facebook is able to link such data with your Facebook account and use it for its own promotional purposes, in accordance with the Facebook data use policy https://m.facebook.com/about/privacyshield/.

We use Google Remarketing Tags. This is a service provided by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; hereafter referred to as “Google”).

The information generated by the cookie about your use of the web pages (including your IP address) is transmitted to a Google server in the United States and stored there. (See also the information above on the Privacy Shield Agreement). The final three characters of your IP address are removed by Google, and IP addresses therefore cannot be linked to individual users. Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the web pages, to compile reports about website activities for website operators and to provide additional services associated with website and Internet use. Google will also transfer this data to third parties as required by law or where third parties are processing the data on behalf of Google. Third party vendors, including Google, place advertisements on websites. Third party vendors, including Google, use cookies to place advertisements on the basis of a user’s previous visits to our website. Google will in no case associate your IP address with other Google data. It is open to you to withdraw your consent to the collection and storage of data at any time with effect for the future. You can disable Google’s use of cookies by visiting the Google advertising opt-out page. However, we advise you that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent.

g) Doubleclick by Google

We use DoubleClick by Google. This is a service provided by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, hereafter referred to as “Google”). DoubleClick by Google uses cookies to display advertisements that are relevant to you. A pseudonymous identification number (ID) is assigned to your browser in order to check which ads were shown in your browser and which ads were retrieved. Cookies do not contain any personal information. Using DoubleClick cookies only enables Google and its partner websites to display advertisements based on previous visits to our website or other ones on the internet. The information generated by cookies is transmitted by Google to a server in the USA for analysis and stored there. (See also the information above on the Privacy Shield Agreement). Google only transmits data to third parties in accordance with legal regulations or within the scope of processing order data. Google will never combine your data with other data collected by Google.

By using this website, you consent to the processing of data about you by Google in the manner and for the purpose set out above. It is open to you to withdraw your consent to the collection and storage of data at any time with effect for the future.

h) Conversion Tracking

Our web pages also use Google Conversion Tracking, in which Google Adwords sets a cookie on your computer if you have been directed to our web pages via a Google ad. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used to acquire personal identification data. If a user visits a particular page of our website and if the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google will be able to see that the user clicked on the advertisement and has been forwarded to that page. Each Google AdWords client is allocated a different cookie, and so cookies cannot be tracked via AdWords clients’ websites. Information collected by conversion cookies is used to provide aggregate conversion statistics to AdWord clients who use conversion tracking. AdWords clients are informed about the total number of users who have clicked on the advertisement and have been forwarded to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information enabling them to identify individual users. If you do not wish to participate in the tracking procedure, you also have the option to reject the placement of the cookie necessary for this procedure by changing your browser settings to deactivate the automatic placement of cookies in general. You can also deactivate cookies for conversion tracking by configuring your browser to block cookies from the domain “www.googleadservices.com”. Google’s privacy statement on conversion tracking can be found here (http://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/).

 

i) AdRoll

Our web pages use AdRoll retargeting technology (AdRoll, 972 Mission St, 3rd Floor, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA.) This makes it possible to specifically target Internet users who have already shown an interest in our website and offers with advertising. We know from studies that displaying personalised advertising tailored to the interests of the Internet user is more appealing than advertising that does not have such a personal connection. In the case of retargeting, advertising is displayed on the basis of a cookie-specific analysis of prior user behaviour. It goes without saying that no personal data will be stored in this context either and that the retargeting technology will be used in compliance with the applicable statutory data protection regulations.

You can find out more about the privacy statement and policy in general and opt out of the anonymous analysis of your surfing behaviour. To do so, please follow this link: http://www.adroll.com/about/privacy.
