In order to access the login area of this platform and to be able to use the VitaDock® online service, you have to register yourself by entering your e-mail address as well as your own password and to create a user account. <p/> We use the so-called double-opt-in procedure for registration, i.e. your registration is only completed once you have previously confirmed your application via a confirmation e-mail, which is sent to you for this purpose, by clicking on the link contained therein. If your confirmation is not received within 24 hours, your registration will automatically be deleted from our database.

Furthermore, the data you have voluntarily provided will be stored by us for the time of your use of the portal, unless you delete it beforehand. All of the information can be managed and changed in the protected customer area. The respective legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. <p/> (3) No personal evaluations of your data are performed.

By authorising the third party, you provide your consent in this regard. <p/> <p/> <strong>Section 6 Objection to or revocation of the processing of your data</strong> <p/> (1) If you have given your consent to the processing of your data, you can revoke it at any time. Such a revocation will affect the admissibility of the processing of your personal data after you have given it to us. <p/> (2) If we base the processing of your personal data on the balance of interests, you may object to the processing. This is particularly the case if the processing is not required to fulfil a contract with you, which we describe respectively in the following description of the functions.

If you do not confirm your registration within 24 hours, your information will be blocked and automatically deleted after one month. In addition, we will store your IP addresses and times of registration and confirmation. The purpose of the procedure is to verify your registration and, if necessary, to be able to clarify any possible misuse of your personal data. <p/> (3) The only information needed for the sending of the newsletter is your e-mail address. After your confirmation, we will save your e-mail address for the purpose of sending you the newsletter.

For this evaluation, the e-mails which are sent include so-called web beacons or tracking pixels that represent one-pixel image files that are stored on our website. For the evaluations, we link the data mentioned in Section 3 and the web beacons with your e-mail address and an individual ID. Links included in the newsletter also contain this ID. <p/> With the data obtained in this way, we create a user profile to tailor the newsletter to your individual interests. In doing so, we record when you read our newsletters and which links you click on, and from this information we derive your personal interests. We link this data with actions that you perform on our website. <p/> You can object to this tracking at any time by clicking on the separate link provided in each e-mail or by informing us thereof via another means of contact. The information will be stored as long as you continue to subscribe to the newsletter. After you log out, we store the data in purely statistical and anonymous form. <p/> <p/> <strong>Section 8 Social media and YouTube</strong> <p/> 1. Use of social media plug-ins. <p/> (1) We are currently using the following social media plug-ins: Facebook, Instagram. We use the so-called two-click solution. In other words, when you visit our website, no personal data is initially transferred to the providers of the plug-ins. You can identify the provider of a plug-in by the marking on the box above its initial letter or logo. We provide you the opportunity to communicate directly with the provider of the plug-in via the button. Only if you click on the marked field and activate it does the plug-in provider receive the information that you have accessed the corresponding website of our online offer. In addition, the data mentioned under Section 3 of this Data Privacy Statement will be transmitted. In the case of Facebook, the IP address is anonymised immediately after collection according to the respective providers in Germany. By activating the plug-in, personal data will be transmitted by you to the respective plug-in provider and stored there (for US providers, in the USA). Since the plug-in provider collects information particularly through cookies, we recommend that you delete all cookies via the security settings of your browser before clicking on the greyed-out box. <p/> (2) We do not have any influence on the collected data or data processing operations, nor are we aware of the full extent of the data collection, the purposes of processing or the retention periods. We also do not have any information about the deletion of the data collected by the plug-in provider. <p/> (3) The plug-in provider stores the data collected about you as usage profiles and uses this information for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or the demand-driven design its website. Such an evaluation is performed in particular (including for users who are not logged in) for the presentation of demand-driven advertising as well as to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the formation of these user profiles by contacting the respective plug-in provider. Through the plug-ins, we offer you the opportunity to interact with the social networks and other users, so that we can improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user. The legal basis for the use of the plug-ins is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. <p/> (4) The data transfer takes place regardless of whether you have an account with the plug-in provider or are logged in there. If you are logged into the plug-in provider, your data which is collected by us will be assigned directly to your existing account with the plug-in provider. If you press the activated button and, for example, if you link the webpage, the plug-in provider also stores this information in your user account and shares it publicly with your contacts. We recommend that you log out regularly after using a social network, and particularly before activating the button, since this will prevent you from being associated with your profile by the plug-in provider. <p/> (5) Further information about the purpose and extent of the data collection and its processing by the plug-in provider is described in the data privacy statements of these providers.
