Privacy policy

Data protection declaration / duty to provide information according to §5 TMG & Art. 13/14 GDPR

At HOYA Surgical Optics GmbH, we believe the protection of personal data involves far more than just complying with legislation. We are therefore happy that you are interested in how we handle personal data.

We always process personal data such as a person’s name, address, e-mail address, or phone number in accordance with applicable privacy law.

With this privacy notice, we would like to inform everyone about the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data that we collect, use, and process. Furthermore, we would like to explain to the persons concerned the rights to which they are entitled.

HOYA Surgical Optics GmbH has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data processed via this Web site is protected as comprehensively as possible.

Cookies

The Web site for HOYA Surgical Optics GmbH uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are downloaded and stored on a computer system through a Web browser.

There are numerous Web sites and servers that use cookies. Many cookies contain what is called a cookie ID, which acts as a unique identifier for the cookie. The ID consists of a sequence of characters through which Web sites and servers can recognize the specific Web browser in which the cookie was saved. This makes it possible for the visited Web sites and servers to differentiate between the data subject’s individual browser and other browsers that receive other cookies. Specific Web browsers can thus be recognized and identified using the unique cookie ID.

By using cookies, HOYA Surgical Optics GmbH can provide Web site users with more user-friendly services that would otherwise not be possible.

The use of cookies optimizes the information and offerings on our Web site for the user’s benefit. Cookies enable us to recognize the people using our Web site, as described above. The reason we seek to recognize users is so that we can make it easier for them to use our Web site. A person who uses a Web site that saves cookies, for example, does not have to repeatedly log in every time he/she visits the site, as the Web site and the cookie saved on the user’s computer take care of it for him/her. Another example is the cookie saved for a shopping basket in an online shop. The online shop remembers the items the customer puts in his/her virtual basket by using a cookie.

The data subject can at any time stop cookies being saved by our Web site by activating the corresponding settings in his/her Web browser and, in doing so, permanently object to cookies being saved. Furthermore, cookies that have already been saved can be deleted at any time using the Web browser or other software programs. This is a function available in all common Web browsers. If the data subject deactivates his/her Web browser’s cookie-saving function, it may in some cases no longer be possible to use the complete functionality of our Web site.
