    2.3 Data processing – Contractual relationship

    The processing of personal master data, such as name, phone number, address, email address, etc., contract data, such as contract content, communication content, conditions, etc. and payment data, such as bank details, tax number, etc., is required to establish and/or execute contractual relationships with customers. The legal basis for the processing is art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR.

    The responsible party processes business data for evaluation and marketing purposes. The legal basis for the processing is art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. The processing serves the legitimate interest of the responsible party to further develop the range of services and to provide targeted information about them.

    We are also subject to various legal obligations, for example under the German Commercial Code (HGB) or Fiscal Code (AO). The legal basis of data processing for this is art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR.

    Any further processing of personal data is only carried out on the basis consent within the context of art. 6 para.1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR.

     

    2.4 Data processing – Study participation

    The responsible party conducts clinical trials with participants, for which the processing of personal (health) data is required. Type and scope of the processed personal (health) data vary depending on the focus of each project.

    The participation in studies is voluntary and is conducted on consent within the context of art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR. The consent to participate in studies can be withdrawn at any time without giving reasons and without any negative consequences for the study participants. If consent is withdrawn, the personal data of the study participants will no longer be processed and all personal data stored up to that point will be deleted, provided that there are no statutory retention obligations to the contrary. The legal basis for data processing for this is art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR.

    For the initial collection of personal (health) data, the responsible party uses questionnaires that are made available for download in digital form, including via the responsible party’s website. We would like to point out that communication by unencrypted e-mail carries the risk that transmitted data can be viewed by third parties. In order to avoid risks and protect personal (health) data in the best possible way, we recommend sending completed questionnaires only via post.

    The personal (health) data collected in the context of studies is stored on the server of the responsible party. Furthermore, a patient file is created. All persons who have access to personal (health) data are subject to medical confidentiality and are obliged to maintain confidentiality.

     

    2.5 Data processing - applicants / employment relationship

    The website offers applicants the opportunity to apply to the responsible party by email or post. This involves the processing of personal data relating to the specific application, e.g. general personal data such as name, address, contact details, information on school, professional and further education as well as other information that applicants submit.

    The responsible party processes personal data for the purpose of carrying out the application procedure and handling the employment relationship, if such relationship is established, on the basis of art. 88 GDPR in conjunction with section 26 (1), (8) sentence 2 BDSG. § Section 26 para. 1, para. 8 sentence 2 BDSG. Furthermore, personal data may be processed if this is necessary to fulfill legal obligations (art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR) or to defend against legal claims asserted against the controller (art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR). The legitimate interest is, for example, a burden of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

    Personal data will be stored for the aforementioned purposes for as long as is necessary to fulfill these purposes. For the purpose of defending against legal claims asserted against the controller in the application process, personal data will be stored for a maximum of 6 months and then deleted.

    If no employment relationship is possible, you have the option of having your application included in an applicant pool. In the event of inclusion, all documents and information from the application will be transferred to the applicant pool in order to contact applicants in the event of suitable vacancies. Inclusion in the applicant pool only takes place on the basis of consent within the meaning of art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR. Giving consent is voluntary and is not related to the current application process. The data from the applicant pool will be stored for a maximum of 2 years and then deleted. The data subject can withdraw their consent at any time. In this case, the data will be deleted from the applicant pool, provided there are no legal reasons for storage.

     

    2.6 Data processing - video surveillance

    Camera monitoring is activated when the doorbell rings. This is done to determine whether the person seeking entry is known or not and whether they are admitted or not. This serves to ensure the safety of employees, clinical trial participants and visitors to the office and business premises.

    The data is not recorded.

    The legal basis for this data processing is the legitimate interest of the controller or a third party pursuant to art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.
