In terms of content, we follow the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), as the data protection provisions of the German Telemedia Act (TMG) are no longer applicable as of May 25, 2018.

General Data Protection Information

Who is responsible for this website? How can you contact us regarding data protection matters? How can you contact our data protection officer? All of this is explained in the Imprint.

Of course, you have numerous personal rights that we are happy to fulfill:

  • Information
    We fulfill the obligation to provide information in this privacy policy.
  • Correction
    You can request the correction of incorrect data.
  • Deletion
    You can request the deletion of your data, provided that the numerous exceptions of the GDPR do not apply.
  • Restriction of Processing
    You can request that your data is no longer actively used (e.g., when you doubt the accuracy of the data).
  • Right to Object to our “legitimate interests”
    If in your individual case there are overriding interests that outweigh our operational interests, you can object to the processing. In many cases, this can be done via an “opt-out.”
  • Data Portability
    If you actively provide data, and the legal basis for processing is (a) your consent or (b) our contractual relationship, you can request that we provide you with this data in electronic form.

Accessing Website Information

As part of normal “surfing” on our website, the following data is collected and used to deliver webpages to you:

  • Date and time (We can use this for time reference and to locate technical problems)
  • IP address (Collection of the IP address is necessary so that the web server can send you the requested data)
  • The requested data (Which file are you requesting? In which subdirectory is it located?)
  • The port through which you request the data (This information is automatically sent by your browser. You will receive the desired webpage through this port)
  • The referring website (Some browsers send the URL of the previously used website with each request)
  • Name of the browser you use to surf the internet (This information is automatically sent by your browser. We may use this information so that content can be displayed optimally. Your browser may also send other information, e.g., about installed programs)
  • The status of the request (Here we can see if the desired webpage exists and could be successfully delivered to you)
  • Miscellaneous: For the sake of completeness, it should be mentioned that your browser may send additional data to our web server (browser name, screen resolution, etc.) Naturally, we have no influence on this.

The data described above is only stored in the web server’s memory for fractions of a second. This process is technically absolutely necessary to make a website available, therefore we have a “legitimate interest” within the meaning of Article 6 (1f) GDPR.
The web server is located with a German operator.

Due to the nature of the internet, this data is inevitably processed on a variety of servers until your request reaches our web server; therefore, collection and use in “third countries” (e.g., the USA) is possible. PAION Pharma has no influence on this process.

Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your hard disk by your browser. This is helpful for various purposes to adapt a website to users.

Turning off and deleting cookies is an important topic. You can find general instructions here. We also recommend the website www.youronlinechoices.com.

Regarding storage duration and access rights, the following cookies are stored when visiting our website:

  1. a) Own cookies with short duration („session cookies“)

These cookies serve the functionality of our own website. The legal basis is our „legitimate interest“ within the meaning of Article 6 (1f) GDPR. These cookies are deleted as soon as you close the browser.

  1. b) Own cookies with a longer runtime

These cookies (pk*, duration: 1 day to 16 months) allow our website to recognize your browser long-term, if you have agreed to them. Thus, we can adapt the content “tomorrow” or “next week.”
This website uses Piwik (software) for statistical evaluation of visitor access. Piwik uses “cookies.” The information generated by the cookie is stored on the website server in Germany. The IP address is truncated immediately after collection and before storage, thereby anonymizing it. The stored data includes the truncated IP address, the time of the visit, the operating system and browser version, as well as referrer. The collected data is deleted after one year and serves solely to improve PAION Pharma’s web offering.
You can prevent the installation of cookies by adjusting your browser software accordingly (see above); however, we point out that in this case you may not be able to fully use all functions of this website.
This also includes the cookie cc1601, which is stored for one year. This cookie is needed to save your selection of permitted cookies.
