Data protection declaration

Data protection

The operators of this site take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data protection provisions and this data protection declaration.

Various personal data is collected when you use this website. Personal data refers to data that can be used to identify you personally. This data protection declaration explains which data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this happens.

We provide videos, films and other information material about our products and our company on our website (one of them in a special login area). The videos and films are hosted by vimeo.com. To use the login area, you need an account consisting of e-mail address, user name and password. Your first and last name are also stored here. These data as well as other data such as your IP address; cookies are used and processed by vimeo.com for this purpose.

We point out that data transfer on the internet (e.g. during communication via email) can encounter security holes. Seamless protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

 

Personal data

Use of our website is generally possible without disclosing personal data.

Where personal data is collected on our site (for example name, postal address or email addresses), this occurs on a voluntary basis. This data is not forwarded to third parties without your express consent.

The following data may be collected in a GDPR-compliant manner when you voluntarily supply information to us as you use our site:

  • First name and surname
  • Address
  • Telephone number
  • Date of birth
  • Email address
  • Time of email
  • IP address
  • Professional history
  • Messages contained within the message text
  • Statements from you about how you heard about us

This data is generated when you use the following functions:

  • Contact form
  • Customer satisfaction form
  • Online application

You can also contact us by post, telephone or email.

In this case we may also become privy to the following information in addition to the above:

  • date the documents were received, and
  • details about your concern.

 

The sole purpose of processing the above information is to exchange information that is required within the contractual scope of services or in order to process the specific inquiry or user query.

 

This includes in particular

  • carrying out business relationships,
  • concluding contracts and completing orders,
  • supplying services,
  • correspondence with prospects or business partners,
  • information about services provided by NATUS or potential marketing promotions.

 

Additionally, we would also like to be able to process contact requests, job applications or concerns raised and to contact the person making the request.

The legal basis for the processing of personal data described here is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in enabling you to contact us at any time and being able to answer your queries.

The legal bases for any compliance activities carried out are Art.6 (1) (c) and Art.6 (1) (f) because the processing of the personal data in question may be necessary for our legitimate interests. Legitimate interests of this kind comprise the capability for relevant breaches to be reported to us and compliance with applicable laws to be examined.

Art. 6 (1) (c) may also serve as a legal basis if we are required to process your personal data to comply with a legal obligation.

We comply with statutory data deletion requirements. Personal data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected.

The collection of IP guidelines is not voluntary and therefore inevitable. An evaluation of this does not take place.

If you have any concerns about the collection of your data, you can contact the relevant person within our organisation via the contact details at the end of the text.

 

Data processing during online application


Your data will be stored until revoked, but will be automatically deleted after a period of 6 months at the latest, without us informing you separately.

To carry out the online application process, we use the online application platform BITE-Bewerbermanager as part of the order processing by BITE GmbH, Magirus-Deutz-Str. 16, 89077 Ulm, Germany.


Please note that you will leave the NATUS website in the application process and be redirected to BITE. In this context, the privacy policy of BITE also applies, which you can find on the website www.b-ite.de.
