In order for TelDolMed to process your second opinion request and for the Specialist to prepare the requested second opinion, essential details about you, your medical condition, your medical history and current symptoms are required. In view of state-of-the-art medical knowledge the Specialists cooperating with TelDolMed have developed questionnaires and lists of medical records relevant to each particular issue or medical area on which second medical opinions can be provided. The completed questionnaire and the requested medical records are uploaded under your personal account on www.medconsonline.com to be checked by TelDolMed staff for accuracy and adequacy, and to be further transmitted to the particular Specialist whom you put in charge of your second opinion order.

These questionnaires include only the data necessary to make an initial contact and consider the possibility of cooperation. Before transmitting personal data to TelDolMed GmbH, our potential partners receive comprehensive information on how their personal data will be used and confirm their consent to the collection and processing of their personal data. 

Being responsible for data processing, TelDolMed GmbH has taken a number of technical and organizational measures to ensure the safest protection of personal data processed through this website.

III Cookies

The Internet pages of www.medconsonline.com use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in a computer system via an Internet browser.

Many Internet sites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie consisting of a series of characters that websites and servers associate with the browser on which the cookie is stored. This allows websites and servers to distinguish the browser from other browsers that store different cookies, and to recognize each browser by its unique cookie ID.

With the help of cookies TelDolMed GmbH can provide the users of www.medconsonline.com with more user-friendly services that would be impossible without the cookie setting.

By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized to the users’ benefit. Cookies allow recognizing the website users to make it easier for them to utilize our website. For example, the visitor of the website using cookies does not have to enter access data each time the website is accessed since this is taken over by the website, and the cookie is thus stored on the user's computer system.

The data subject may prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of an appropriate setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This can be done in all common Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be usable to the full extent.

 

IV Collection of General Data and Information

Whenever a data subject or automated system visits the TelDolMed GmbH web site, the site collects a set of general data and information. This general data and information are stored in the server log files. The collected data may include (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-websites, (5) the date and time of access to the Internet site, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) any other similar data and information that may be used in case of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using such general data and information, TelDolMed GmbH does not draw any conclusions as regards the data subject. This information is rather needed to (1) ensure a correct delivery of our website content, (2) optimize the content of our website and its advertising, (3) ensure the permanent functioning of our information technology systems and website technology, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for law enforcement in case of a cyber-attack. Therefore TelDolMed GmbH shall analyze the anonymously collected data and information statistically and also with the purpose of increasing the data protection and data security, eventually ensuring an optimal protection level for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

While registering on www.medconsonline.com the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) and used by the data subject, the date and time of the registration are also stored. The storage of this data takes place since that this is the only way to prevent the misuse of our services, and, if necessary, to make it possible to investigate offenses committed. In this respect the storage of this data is necessary for the security of TelDolMed GmbH. This data is not passed on to third parties unless there is a statutory obligation to pass on the data, or if the transmission serves the aim of Law enforcement.

The registration of the data subject involving the voluntary provision of personal data, should enable the TelDolMed GmbH to offer the data subject contents or services that may only be offered to registered users due to the nature of the matter in question. Registered persons are free to change the personal data specified during the registration at any time, or to have them totally deleted from the database of TelDolMed GmbH.

XI Data protection provisions about the application and use of Google Fonts API

On this website, the controller has integrated components of Google Fonts. Google Fonts API enables specific Fonts of the Website to be loaded quickly.

Provider: Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA

With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet site, which is operated by the controller and on which a Google Fonts API component was integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted to download a display of the corresponding Google Fonts API component. Further information about Google Fonts API may be obtained under https://fonts.google.com/about. During the course of this technical procedure, Google gain knowledge of what specific sub-page of our website was visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is logged in on Google account, Google recognizes with each call-up to a sub-page that contains a Google Font, which specific sub-page of our Internet site was visited by the data subject. This information is collected by Google and assigned to the respective Google account of the data subject.

Google will receive information through the Google Fonts API component that the data subject has visited our website, if the data subject at the time of the call to our website is logged in on Google; If such a transmission of this information to Google is not desirable for the data subject, the delivery may be prevented if the data subject logs off from their own Google account before a call-up to our website is made.

Google’s data protection provisions, available at https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/, provide information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by Google.

 

XII Data protection provisions about the application and use of Google Analytics (with anonymization function) and Google tag Manager.

a) Using Google analytics: on this website, the controller has integrated the component of Google Analytics (with the anonymizer function). Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analytics is the collection, gathering, and analysis of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analysis service collects, inter alia, data about the website from which a person has come (the so-called referrer), which sub-pages were visited, or how often and for what duration a sub-page was viewed. Web analytics are mainly used for the optimization of a website and in order to carry out a cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising.

The operator of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, United States.

For the web analytics through Google Analytics the controller uses the application "_gat. _anonymizeIp". By means of this application the IP address of the Internet connection of the data subject is abridged and anonymized.

The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze the traffic on our website. Google uses the collected data and information, inter alia, to evaluate the use of our website and to provide online reports, which show the activities on our websites, and to provide other services concerning the use of our Internet site for us.

Google Analytics places a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. The definition of cookies is explained above. With the setting of the cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the use of our website. With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet site, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject will automatically submit data through the Google Analytics component for the purpose of online advertising and the settlement of commissions to Google. During the course of this technical procedure, the enterprise Google gains knowledge of personal information, such as the IP address of the data subject, which serves Google, inter alia, to understand the origin of visitors and clicks, and subsequently create commission settlements.

The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the access time, the location from which the access was made, and the frequency of visits of our website by the data subject. With each visit to our Internet site, such personal data, including the IP address of the Internet access used by the data subject, will be transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass these personal data collected through the technical procedure to third parties.

The data subject may, as stated above, prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by means of a corresponding adjustment of the web browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such an adjustment to the Internet browser used would also prevent Google Analytics from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, cookies already in use by Google Analytics may be deleted at any time via a web browser or other software programs.

In addition, the data subject has the possibility of objecting to a collection of data that are generated by Google Analytics, which is related to the use of this website, as well as the processing of this data by Google and the chance to preclude any such. For this purpose, the data subject must download a browser add-on under the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout and install it. This browser add-on tells Google Analytics through a JavaScript, that any data and information about the visits of Internet pages may not be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-ons is considered an objection by Google. If the information technology system of the data subject is later deleted, formatted, or newly installed, then the data subject must reinstall the browser add-ons to disable Google Analytics. If the browser add-on was uninstalled by the data subject or any other person who is attributable to their sphere of competence, or is disabled, it is possible to execute the reinstallation or reactivation of the browser add-ons.

Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google may be retrieved under https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/ and under https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/terms/us/. Google Analytics is further explained under the following Link https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/.

b) Using Google Tag Manager: Google Tag Manager is a solution that allows marketers to manage website tags through a single interface. The Tool Tag Manager itself (which implements the tags) is a cookieless domain and does not collect any personal data. The tool triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If deactivation has been made at the domain or cookie level, it remains for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager. Google Tag Manager is further explained under the following link https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/tag-manager/use-policy/

 

XIII Data protection provisions about the application and use of Yandex Metrica.

This website also the web analytics service of Yandex. The service provider is Yandex LLC - Russian Federation, 119021, Moscow, 16, Leo Tolstoy St.

Yandex Metrica tracks and reports website traffic. Yandex uses the data collected to track and monitor the use of our Service. This data is shared with other Yandex services. Yandex may use the collected data to contextualize and personalize the ads of its own advertising network. However, collecting data about individual users can be blocked with the Yandex.Metrica opt-out. The Yandex.Metrica opt-out is a browser add-on. It blocks storing cookie files on the user's computer and restricts data transmission to Yandex.Metrica. For more information on the privacy practices of Yandex, please visit the Yandex Privacy & Terms web page: https://yandex.com/legal/privacy/.

 

XIV Data protection provisions about the application and use of PostDicom

In order to transmit imaging diagnostic data to the specialists involved in the preparation of the second medical opinion that you’ve ordered, such data is posted on the internet platform PostDicom (https://www.postdicom.com/en/security) of PostDicom B.V. We will only pass on your personal data to the specialists if you have given your consent to it. In Annex 4 to the General Terms and Conditions, we ask for your consent to the transfer of your personal data to specialists.

 

XV Payment Method: Data Protection Provisions Regarding the Use of Stripe as a Payment Processor

On this website, the controller has integrated components of Stripe. Stripe is an online payment service provider. Stripe allows to pay via various other payment methods, such as credit card, giropay, SOFORT and so on.

The operating company of Stripe is Stripe Payments Europe, Ltd, 1 Grand Canal Street Lower, Grand Canal Dock, Dublin.

If the data subject chooses one of the online payment methods as the payment option on our website, the data of the data subject will be transmitted to Stripe. By doing so, the data subject agrees to the transmission of personal data required for payment processing.

The personal data transmitted to Stripe is usually first name, last name and email address, or other data necessary for payment processing.

The transmission of the data is aimed at payment processing and fraud prevention. The controller will transfer personal data to Stripe, in particular, if a legitimate interest in the transmission is given. The personal data exchanged between Stripe and the controller for the processing of the data will be transmitted by Stripe to economic credit agencies. This transmission is intended for identity and creditworthiness checks.

Stripe provides personal data to affiliated companies and service providers or subcontractors as far as this is necessary for the fulfillment of contractual obligations or data in order to be processed.

The data subject has the possibility to revoke the consent to the handling of personal data at any time from Stripe. A revocation shall not have any effect on personal data which must be processed, used or transmitted in accordance with (contractual) payment processing.

The applicable data protection provisions of Stripe may be retrieved under https://stripe.com/ie/privacy.

 

XVI Legal basis for the processing

Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, as is the case, for example, when processing operations are necessary for the supply of goods or to provide any other service, the processing is based on Article 6(1) lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations which are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries concerning our products or services. Is our company subject to a legal obligation by which processing of personal data is required, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6(1) lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6(1) lit. d GDPR. Finally, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not covered by any of the abovementioned legal grounds, if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data. Such processing operations are particularly permissible because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. He considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a client of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).

 

XVII The legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party

Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR our legitimate interest is to carry out our business in favor of the well-being of all our employees and the shareholders.

 

XVIII Period for which the personal data will be stored

The criteria used to determine the period of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiration of that period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, as long as it is no longer necessary for the fulfillment of the contract or the initiation of a contract.

 

XIX Provision of personal data as statutory or contractual requirement; Requirement necessary to enter into a contract; Obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of failure to provide such data

We clarify that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or can also result from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner). Sometimes it may be necessary to conclude a contract that the data subject provides us with personal data, which must subsequently be processed by us. The data subject is, for example, obliged to provide us with personal data when our company signs a contract with him or her. The non-provision of the personal data would have the consequence that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject must contact any employee. The employee clarifies to the data subject whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and the consequences of non-provision of the personal data.

 

XX Absence of automated decision-making

As a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision-making or profiling.
