Privacy Notice on the Use of Additional Processing Activities in the Context of ARTHREX Websites, Including Social Media Icons, Newsletters Surveys, User Registration and Contact Form
Social Media Icons
Arthrex, Inc., 1370 Creekside Blvd., Naples, Florida 34108, USA ("ARTHREX") websites contain icons with the logos of certain social media platforms. The icons are linked to the URL of a specific social media platform. When you click on the icon, the respective function of the social media platform is activated (ie, like, share, ct, etc). Until the icon is clicked on, no personal data is transmitted to the social media platform. When you click on the icon, you will leave our website.
Newsletter
If you register via our website or by any other means to receive an electronic newsletter, we will store and process your registration data (the registration form will show you which registration data we collect and store and whether entries are mandatory or voluntary). The registration data will be available for an unlimited period of time or until you unsubscribe or we cancel the newsletter. The registration for our newsletter takes place in a so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that after registration you will receive an email asking you to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary to prevent unauthorized use of your email address by another person.
The IP address assigned to you by the internet service provider (ISP), and the date and time of registration will also be stored when you register. The purpose of this is to protect our legitimate interest in preventing and, if necessary, prosecuting misuse of our services. In addition, we will store and process your consent to receive the newsletter for the retention period specified below. This serves to protect our legitimate interest in being able to prove, in the event of a dispute, that you wished to receive the newsletter.
After termination of your registration for the receipt of a newsletter, we will retain the registration data, the IP address, date and time of registration and your consent for up to three (3) months. This serves to protect our legitimate interest in being able to restore this data in the event of unintentional deletion or in establishing, exercising or defending legal claims in connection with the registration for, and consent to, receipt of a newsletter.
Surveys
We conduct online surveys and collect information via interactive questionnaires using the platform and services of third-party service providers. You can object to the use of your data for direct marketing purposes at any time.
It is your free and voluntary decision whether you wish to participate in a survey or to answer a questionnaire. Information collected through surveys will be processed and used to protect our legitimate interest in improving our deliveries and services to meet your individual requirements. Additionally, information gathered from surveys help us promote the sale of our products and services, possibly offering you additional products or services in line with your interests, and, where relevant, fulfilling our product monitoring obligations with respect to our products and services. Information collected through questionnaires for the preparation of events will be processed and used for the sole purpose of participation in the event. If you are a customer, the information will be transferred to our customer database. If there is no customer relationship, the information may be transferred to our database for prospective customers, or otherwise it will be deleted after six (6) months.
User Registration & Contact Form
If you register on our website and create a user account (the registration form will show you which registration data we collect and store and whether entries are mandatory or voluntary), all personal data collected in connection with this user account will be stored in this user account until you delete the user account or until we cancel the user account. The IP address assigned to you by your internet service provider (ISP) and the date and time of registration will also be stored when you register. The purpose of this is to protect our legitimate interest in preventing and, if necessary, prosecuting misuse of our services.
After deletion of your user account, we will retain all data for up to six (6) months. This serves to protect our legitimate interest in being able to restore the data in the event of unintentional deletion or in establishing, exercising or defending legal claims. By creating an account, you are agreeing to the retention period that has been established.
Our website contains a contact form which you may use for communication with us. When submitting information through the contact form, you are required to enter an email address, which we will use to respond to your request. The contact form enables you to submit additional information on a voluntary basis.
If you provide us with personal data via the user account or the contact form for a purpose beyond the use of the website or respective web service, such as sending us an offer or product information, we will also store and process this data for this purpose.
