Data Protection with Usage and Cookie Notices

Data Protection on our Website

In the following, we inform you about the type, scope, and purpose of the collection and use of personal data on our website by the responsible provider PAION Pharma GmbH, Heussstr. 25, 52078 Aachen, Federal Republic of Germany, hereinafter referred to as “PAION Pharma”. We base our content on 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EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), as the data protection provisions of the German Telemedia Act (TMG) are no longer applicable as of May 25, 2018.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 Notices

Who is responsible for this website? How can you contact us regarding data protection issues? How can you contact our data protection officer? All this is explained in the legal notice.

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

Information
We fulfill our obligation to provide information in the data protection statement presented here.
Rectification
You can request the correction of incorrect data.
Erasure
You can request the erasure of your data, provided that the numerous exceptions of the GDPR do not apply.
Restriction of processing
You can request that your data no longer be actively used (e.g. if you doubt the accuracy of the data).
Right to object to our „legitimate interests“
If there are overriding interests in your individual case that outweigh our operational interests, you can object to the processing. In many cases, this can be done via a so-called „opt-out“.
Data portability
If you actively provide data and the legal basis for the processing is (a) your consent or (b) our contractual relationship, you can request that we provide you with this data in electronic form. (a) Your consent or (b) represents our contractual relationship, you may request that we provide you with this data in electronic form.

Retrieval of information from the website

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

Date and time (We can use this to make a temporal assignment and use this to localize technical problems, for example.
IP address (The 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 via which you are requesting the data (This information is sent automatically by your browser. You will receive the requested web page via this port).
The referring website (Some browsers also send the URL of the previously used website with each request).
Name of the browser you are using to surf the Internet (This information is sent automatically by your browser. We may use this information so that the content can be optimally displayed. Your browser may also send other information, e.g. about installed programs)
The status of the retrieval (Here we can see whether the desired website 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 (name of the browser, 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 in order to make a website available, which is why we have a „legitimate interest“ within the meaning of Article 6 (1f) GDPR. The web server is located at a German operator.

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