This privacy policy is currently valid and has the status April 2024. Due to the further development of our website and offers or due to changed legal or regulatory requirements, it may become necessary to change this privacy policy.

Disclosure of data to third parties and third party providers

We comply with the legal requirements. Data is only passed on to third parties within the scope of the statutory provisions.

Data processing on our website

General Information

Integration of third-party services and content

We may use third-party services within our website to, for example, integrate external media, perform analyses, etc. This is always done on a legal basis, such as on the basis of our legitimate interests (e.g. our interest in the analysis, optimization and economical operation of our website) within the meaning of Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. f GDPR or – if this is necessary in individual cases – on the basis of your previously given consent pursuant to Article 6 sec. 1 lit. a GDPR.

Such services generally require that the third-party providers perceive the IP address of the users, since they could not send the corresponding content to the browser without the IP address. The IP address is required for the presentation of such content. We try to only use services whose respective providers only use the IP address for the delivery of the content. Some providers also use so-called “pixel tags” (invisible graphics, also known as “web beacons”) for statistical or marketing purposes. The “pixel tags” can be used to evaluate information such as visitor traffic on the pages of this website. The pseudonymous information may also be stored in cookies on the user’s device and may include, among other things, technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, visiting time and other information on the use of our online offer, as well as being linked to such information from other sources.

For more information on which services are actually used on this site and how data is processed within their framework, as well as the relevant legal basis, please refer to the explanations on the respective services in the further course of this data protection declaration.

Types of data processed

On our website, we collect and process inventory data (e.g. names, addresses), contact data (e.g. e-mail addresses, telephone numbers, fax numbers, postal address), usage data (e.g. websites visited, links clicked, interest in content, access times, access locations), content data (e.g. comments, text entries, photos, videos) and measurement and communication data (e.g. device information, browser information, IP addresses).

Categories of data subjects

The persons affected by the processing of personal data are all visitors and users of our website.

Purpose of processing

We collect and process the personal data of users of our website in order to communicate with and inform them (e.g., contact and other inquiries), to perform statistics, reach measurement and analysis (e.g., with marketing and analysis tools), so that we can better design and optimize content and functions, to technically manage and optimize the website and to close security gaps.

Legal bases for the processing of personal data

We only process personal data if we have a legal basis to do so. In the following, we will identify the legal bases in question individually in the context of the respective data processing operations. In general, we are always entitled to process personal data, if the person concerned has given its consent (see Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. a, Art. 7 GDPR) if we are obliged to fulfil contractual or pre-contractual obligations (see Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. b GDPR) if we have to fulfil other legal obligations (see Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. c GDPR) or if we safeguard our legitimate interests (see Art. Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. f GDPR).

Recipients of personal data

We may transfer personal data to processors or other third parties (e.g. hosting agencies, etc.) with whom we cooperate. We are entitled to do this if the data subject has consented to this (see Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. a, Art. 7 DSGVO), if we thereby fulfill contractual or pre-contractual obligations (see Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. b DSGVO), if we thereby fulfill a legal obligation (see Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. c DSGVO) or if we safeguard our legitimate interests (see Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. f DSGVO). We conclude a so-called data processing agreement with data processors in accordance with Art. 28 DSGVO, according to which they also undertake to comply with the rules of data protection.

Hosting

This website is hosted on the servers of Hetzner Online GmbH. The hosting services used by us serve to provide the following services: Infrastructure and platform services, computing capacity, storage space and database services, security services and technical maintenance services, which we use for the purpose of operating this website. In doing so, we, or our hosting provider, process inventory data, contact data, content data, contract data, usage data, meta data and communication data of all users of this website. The legal basis for the use of hosting services is the protection of our legitimate interests in the analysis, optimization and the economic and secure operation of our website (see Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. f DSGVO). We have concluded corresponding data processing contracts with our hosting providers.

Access Data / Server-Logfiles

Based on our legitimate interest under Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. f GDPR, we collect data about every access to our website (so-called web server log files). The data processed includes IP address, time of retrieval, type of request, protocol, HTTP status, referer, browser type and version, operating system, and the message of successful retrieval. The data are used for statistical evaluations for the purpose of operation, safety and optimization of the offer. The data will be stored for security reasons (e.g. for the investigation of abuse cases) for a period of 7 days. The IP address is stored anonymously only. If a longer retention is required for evidence purposes, these will be deleted after the final clarification of the matter.

Cookies

Furthermore, when you use our website, cookies may be stored on your computer. Cookies are small text files that make it possible to store specific information related to the device on the user’s access device (PC, smartphone, other devices). They serve the user-friendliness of websites (e.g. storage of login data), the collection of statistical data of the use of the website and for analysis in order to improve the website. Cookies cannot run programs or transmit viruses to your computer.

You can prevent the storage of all or only certain cookies by setting your browser accordingly in the security settings. Cookies that have already been saved can be deleted in the browser. In these cases, however, the use of the website may be restricted.

This website may use the following types of cookies:

  • Transient (temporary) cookies
  • Persistent (permanent) cookies

Transient cookies are automatically deleted when you close or log out of the browser. This includes, in particular, session cookies. These store a so-called session ID, which can be used to assign various requests from your browser to the common session. This allows your computer to be recognized when you return to our website.

Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a predetermined duration, which may vary depending on the cookie. You can delete the cookies in your browser’s security settings at any time.

Both types of cookies may come from us (then “first-party cookies”) or from third-party providers (“third-party cookies”).

Such cookies, which enable the safe functioning of the website in the first place and such cookies, which only record the general usage behavior statistically (e.g. access to the website at all and the time of access), without merging user data across websites, without using external servers or services and without establishing traceability, we use on the basis of our legitimate interest in a secure and functional provision of the website as well as for statistical purposes to optimize our website in accordance with Article 6 sec. 1 lit. f GDPR.

The use of other cookies is based exclusively on your previously given consent in accordance with Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. a GDPR. Such cookies are usually used to optimize our offer as well as to develop and optimize individual marketing measures. You can give your consents for the cookies and tools in question voluntarily when you first visit our website.
You can change your decision at any time on our website.

Deactivation/opposition to cookies:

In general, you can object to the use of cookies for range measurement and advertising purposes via the deactivation page of the network advertising initiative (http://optout.networkadvertising.org/) and additionally the US website (http://www.aboutads.info/choices) or the European website (http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices/).
Furthermore, the storage of cookies can be prevented by setting this in the security settings of your browser. However, you may then not be able to use all the functions of this website.
These options apply to all cookies listed below that we use for this website.

MyFonts Counter

On this website, we use the web-based design service MyFonts from the service provider Monotype Imaging Holdings Inc, 600 Unicorn Park Drive, Woburn, MA 01801, USA (“MyFonts”). We use it to optimise the texts and backgrounds (so-called “fonts”) displayed on the site so that they are always presented to you in a legible and attractive manner. This works in such a way that your browser loads the fonts required for the presentation into your browser cache. On the basis of our contractual relationship, MyFonts is entitled to remuneration which is calculated on the basis of the number of hits on the website with said fonts. For this reason, we are contractually obliged to include a so-called tracking pixel on the website. This is a one-pixel image file that is stored on the website itself. This pixel-code collects the IP addresses of the visitors in order to count the number of different accesses (“hits”). The data is processed by MyFonts together with an anonymised project number and the page URL for the purpose of counting. For details of what MyFonts does with the data, please see their privacy policy at: https://www.monotype.com/de/rechtshinweise/datenschutzrichtlinie/datenschutzrichtlinie-zum-tracking-von-webschriften.

eTracker

We use the service etracker Analytics of etracker GmbH, Erste Brunnenstraße 1, 20459 Hamburg, Imprint: https://www.etracker.com/impressum/ (hereinafter referred to as “etracker”). Here you can find FAQ from etracker regarding the GDPR: https://www.etracker.com/docs/faq/eu-dsgvo/. The privacy policy of etracker can be found here: https://www.etracker.com/datenschutz/. We have concluded a corresponding data processing contract with etracker.

We use etracker Analytics on the basis of our legitimate interest under Art. 6 sec. 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR, in this case in the interest to evaluate our website and improve it for you as a user. As standard, etracker Analytics does not use cookies, but records the visiting behavior (using purely technical parameters, such as the abbreviated address or the browser used) within a session (visit to the website) by means of cookieless session tracking. A hash value (combination of characters from which the original data cannot be derived) is generated by means of a fingerprinting procedure from purely technical data (such as the abbreviated IP address or the browser used), to which the date of the page call is added, in order to make a conclusion on the identity of the user even less likely. This value is automatically deleted every 24 hours. Within 24 hours, this fingerprint allows to analyze user behavior.

You can object to the data processing here at any time:
allow Tracking

In addition to the etracker Analytics, we use on our website the etracker Optimiser add-on from etracker with A/Btesting (further information: https://www.etracker.com/docs/bedienung/etracker-optimiser/testing-targeting/a-b-testing-smart-messages/), Overlay Messaging (further information: https://www.etracker.com/docs/videos/etracker-optimiser/smart-messages/), Remarketing Feed (further information: https://www.etracker.com/docs/data-services/remarketing-feed/) as well as access to user profiles in real time.

Kameleoon

We use the personalisation and web analysis service Kameleoon of Kameleoon SAS, 12 Rue de la Chaussée d’Antin 75009 Paris for the purpose of improving user-friendliness and personalising content. The tool makes it possible to analyse user behaviour on the basis of (automated) user segmentations.

This enables us to evaluate how individual user segments visit the website and which landing pages are visited (so-called A/B testing). The evaluation of user behaviour by means of reports on website activity serves to regularly improve the content on this website.

For the analysis, Kameleoon uses cookies that are linked to your pseudonymised ID. As part of this analysis, your IP address will be completely anonymised and not stored. The user behaviour and the information generated by the cookie are transmitted to a Kameleoon server in Germany and stored there in aggregated and pseudonymised form. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the framework of Kameleoon is not merged with other Kameleoon data. The anonymised data collected is evaluated over a maximum period of 365 days.

The storage of and access to information in the end user’s terminal equipment is carried out in accordance with § 25 para. 1 TTDSG. We only use Kameleoon if you have given us your express consent via the cookie settings (Consent Tool) on our website (Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a GDPR).You can revoke your consent at any time via the Individual cookie settings within this privacy policy by accepting only essential cookies.

Individual cookie settings

Furthermore, we would like to point out that you can prevent the storage of cookies at any time by setting your browser accordingly. We have compiled further information in this context with regard to the most popular browsers below, but we would like to point out that this may restrict the functionality of our website.

Your data will be deleted as soon as we have fully processed your request.
We also point out the following:

As a pharmaceutical company, we are legally obliged to report requests that describe drug and medical device safety-related events, to document them and, if necessary, to report them to the competent authorities. This notification may also include personal information, such as your name, place of residence, health claims or the like, if you have disclosed it explicitly and voluntarily to us. In order to obtain further information, it may be necessary for URSAPHARM to contact you. The legal basis for this data processing is Art. 6 sec.1 lit. c GDPR together with Section 3 MPSV or Section 63 c AMG.

Sweepstakes / Competitions

We sometimes host sweepstakes / competitions that we promote on our website and/or on our social media presences and to which you can register via a corresponding subpage on our website.

In this respect we cooperate with external agencies for the event. The details of the associated data processing can be found in the competition conditions. This includes the indication of the agency, which cooperates with us in the respective case and processes the data of the participants accordingly for the processing of the competition. The data will therefore be passed on to these agencies. Otherwise, no transfer will take place.

Participation in a competition usually requires the registration of participants with personal data, typically a title, first name, name and e-mail address. The data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 sec.1 lit. b GDPR or – if necessary – on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6 sec.1 lit. a GDPR.

The winners will be published anonymously (i.e. first name, abbreviated last name, shortened place of residence) on our website. The data will be used solely for the purpose of the competition and will be deleted, with the exception of the winning data, after the winners have been determined. The winners’ data will also be processed for winning notification and for the dispatch of the winnings and then deleted. Only with your express consent will it be used beyond this purpose, e.g. for sending the newsletter.

We have committed the respective agencies that act in accordance with our instructions to comply with the data protection laws, also and in particular in the sense of the foregoing, and have concluded corresponding data processing contracts with them.

Privacy Notices for Business Customers

Marketing

In the context of marketing campaigns (e.g. at trade fairs), we offer you the opportunity to be further informed about our company as well as about our products (for example by contacting us personally via e-mail or telephone or by ordering or sending information materials via post or e-mail).

In order to provide you with such further information or to contact you for advertising purposes, we need your relevant contact data. You can provide them to us, for example, by filling out a corresponding form or by supplying your business card.

We usually collect this data via a mobile app called Fanomena Leads. This was provided to us by the company Fanomena GmbH, Dudweilerstraße 71, 66111 Saarbrücken (https://fanomena.io/impressum/). The data collected with the app is stored and processed on a server of Fanomena GmbH on a cloud storage assigned to us alone. The servers are exclusively within the European Union. We have concluded an data processing contract with Fanomena. For more information about the app, see https://fanomena.io/leads/. Fanomena’s privacy policy can be found at https://fanomena.io/datenschutz/. The app is used on the basis of our legitimate interest in a structured and purpose-based processing of your data, Art. 6 sec.1 lit. f GDPR.

Data processing for marketing purposes is carried out – unless the data may be processed or further processed on the basis of our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. f GDPR (for example for the purpose of direct marketing) or any other legal basis (for example, for contractual or pre-contractual purposes in accordance with Article 6 sec. 1 lit. b GDPR) – on the basis of your consent in accordance with Article 6 sec. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke your consent free of charge at any time.

Your data will be deleted after sending the information materials or after revocation of consent, unless the data may be further processed on the basis of our legitimate interest or any other legal basis. If you no longer wish to receive promotional e-mails from us, you can either inform us (see further below in this privacy policy) or unsubscribe via the unsubscribe form to which we link in our promotional e-mails.

Conclusion or execution of contracts

Furthermore, it is possible that we process personal data for the purpose of concluding or implementing contracts. The legal basis for such a processing of personal data for pre-contractual and contractual purposes is Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. b GDPR. The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for the aforementioned purposes or for the fulfilment of legal, commercial or tax retention requirements (in this case, the respective statutory provisions in connection with Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. c GDPR serve as the legal basis for the processing. It may happen that personal data is retained for the time during which claims can be made against our company (legal limitation period of three or up to thirty years).

Job offers

Our website publishes Stellenangebote / job offers that you can apply for by e-mail. Applicants are responsible for the secure transfer of applications with personal data through these communication channels.

In order to be able to process the applications, we require minimum data resulting from the job advertisement. These are, for example, data such as names, address data and the documents belonging to the application, such as cover letter, resume and certificates. Further data can be submitted voluntarily.

We process the data provided by applicants only for the purposes of the application process. The legal basis for the processing of this data is the fulfillment of our pre-contractual obligations within the scope of the application procedure pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. b DSGVO in conjunction with Section 26 BDSG. An additional legal basis may arise from Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO, insofar as data processing becomes necessary for us, for example, in the context of legal proceedings.

We process all data that applicants submit to us, e.g. name, address, e-mail address, telephone number, specific data of the application. By submitting such data, applicants consent to the processing of their data in accordance with this privacy policy.

If applicants voluntarily submit special categories of personal data pursuant to Art. 9 sec.1 DSGVO, we process this data in accordance with Art. 9 sec.2 lit. b DSGVO. If we request these special categories of data, the data will be processed in accordance with Art. 9 sec.2 lit. a DSGVO.

In the event of a successful application, the applicant data will be processed by us for the purpose of establishing an employment relationship in accordance with Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. b DSGVO in conjunction with § 26 BDSG.

Otherwise, the applicant’s data will only be stored by us for the duration of the application process and at the longest in accordance with the generally recognized and statutory retention periods. After this period or in the event that an application is withdrawn, the data will be deleted. As a rule, data is deleted no later than three months after the position has been filled, in order to be able to respond to any claims by applicants under the General Equal Treatment Act (Allgemeines Gleichbehandlungsgesetz). In the event of a claim under the General Equal Treatment Act, further data may also be stored until final clarification. Longer storage may also be possible in order to fulfill other legal obligations.

If an applicant consents, we include his or her applicant data in our applicant pool so that we can contact him or her in the event of future job openings. The legal basis for such data processing is the applicant’s voluntary informed consent pursuant to Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. a, Art. 7 DSGVO.

Applicants are informed that their consent to be included in the applicant pool is voluntary and has no influence on the current application process. They may revoke their consent at any time for the future and object to data processing in the applicant pool for the future in accordance with Art. 21 DSGVO. These declarations can be sent to the above address for data protection inquiries/to our data protection officer.

For the purpose of proper processing within the meaning of the foregoing, we use the software of the service provider coveto RECRUITING. This is a service provided to us as software-as-a-service (SaaS) by the provider coveto ATS GmbH, Zeppelinstraße 9, 63667 Nidda (cf. https://www.coveto.de/impressum).

Facebook Fan Page | Privacy Policy

We appreciate your visit on our Facebook fan page https://de-de.facebook.com/ursapharm/ (hereinafter also called “Page”) and the associated interest in our company. With the aim of providing you with the highest possible level of transparency, we will inform you below about the nature, scope and purpose of the collection, processing and storage of personal data that accrues in the context of the use of our Facebook fan page. The General Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter referred to as the “GDPR”) can be accessed here as a complete document. Of course, there is no obligation for you to provide us with personal data, but we would like to point out that this may be necessary for certain functions of our Facebook fan page and that you will not be able to use these functions in this case or only with restrictions. When you visit our Facebook fan page (even if you do not have a Facebook profile yourself), personal data is collected, processed, used and stored not only by us, but also by Facebook itself. This is Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland, Imprint: https://www.facebook.com/terms. The parent company of this Irish-based company is: Facebook, Inc., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA (hereinafter referred to as “Facebook”). Since not all individual data processing operations as well as their scope are known by us in detail, we refer to the data policy of Facebook, which can be accessed here, for certain points within this data protection declaration.

In addition, we expressly point out that your data may be transferred not only to Ireland but also to the USA and thus to an unsafe third country. There are currently no EU adequacy decision or any other appropriate guarantees for the US. The protection of your data cannot be guaranteed in the destination country USA. There is currently no equivalent level of data protection in the US. Therefore, the data transfer is associated with corresponding risks.

In particular, there are no guarantees regarding the failure of access to your transmitted data by public authorities. For example: it cannot be ruled out that US authorities may access your data on the basis of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA; a law that governs the United States’ foreign intelligence and counter-espionage services). In this context, we expressly point out that you, as an EU citizen, do not have an effective legal protection against the processing of your data by US authorities on the basis of FISA. If you still use our Facebook fan page, you do so in the knowledge of these risks, which you consciously accept as a result.

YouTube channel | Privacy Policy

We appreciate your visit to our YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkQE97qt1PtrfwhkGe1MH2Q (hereinafter also referred to as “Page”) and the associated interest in our company. With the aim of providing you with the highest possible degree of transparency, we will inform you below about the nature, scope and purpose of the collection, processing and storage of personal data that accrues in the context of the use of our site. The General Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter referred to as the “GDPR”) can be accessed here as a complete document. Of course, there is no obligation for you to provide us with personal data, but we would like to point out that this may be necessary for certain functions of our YouTube channel and that you will not be able to use these functions in this case or only with restrictions. When you visit our YouTube channel (even if you do not have a YouTube or Google account), personal data is collected, processed, used, and stored not only by us, but also by YouTube itself. This is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4 Ireland, imprint: https://www.youtube.com/t/impressum?hl=de&gl=DE. The parent company of this Irish-based company is: Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (hereinafter referred to uniformly as “Google” or “YouTube”). Since not all individual data processing operations as well as their scope are known by us in detail, we refer to the data policy of Google, which can be accessed here, for certain points within this data protection declaration.

In addition, we expressly point out that your data may be transferred not only to Ireland but also to the USA and thus to an unsafe third country. There currently are no EU adequacy decision or any other appropriate guarantees for the US. The protection of your data cannot be guaranteed in the destination country USA. There is currently no equivalent level of data protection in the US. Therefore, the data transfer is associated with corresponding risks. There are no guarantees regarding the failure of access to your transmitted data by public authorities. For example: it cannot be ruled out that US authorities may access your data on the basis of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA; a law that governs the United States’ foreign intelligence and counter-espionage services). In this context, we expressly point out that you, as an EU citizen, do not have an effective legal protection against the processing of your data by US authorities on the basis of FISA. If you still use our YouTube channel, you do so in the knowledge of these risks, which you consciously accept as a result.

In addition to Ireland, your data will also be transferred to the USA and thus to an unsafe third country. There are currently no EU adequacy decision or any other appropriate guarantees for the US. The protection of your data cannot be guaranteed in the destination country USA. There is currently no equivalent level of data protection in the US. Therefore, the data transfer is associated with corresponding risks. In particular, there are no guarantees regarding the failure of access to your transferred data by public authorities. For example, it cannot be ruled out that US authorities may access your data on the basis of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA; German such as “Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act”, a law that governs the United States’ foreign intelligence and counter-espionage services). In this context, we expressly point out that you, as an EU citizen, do not have an effective legal protection against the processing of your data by US authorities on the basis of FISA.  The legal basis for this transfer of data are pre-contractual measures (Article 49 sec. 1 p. 1 b) GDPR).

Furthermore, we would like to point out that you can prevent the storage of cookies at any time by setting your browser appropriately. Further information in this context we have compiled with regard to the most common browsers below but point out that this may limit the functionality of our YouTube channel.

You can also download a browser add-on to disable Google Analytics under the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de. By installing the add-on, you prevent the collection and processing of the data collected by the cookie by Google. If you have given your consent and the storage of cookies in your browser is not prevented, your use of the website is analyzed by means of Google Analytics using cookies. In this respect, we have concluded a corresponding contract for data processing with the company Google. In general, the information generated by the cookies is transmitted and stored to a Google server in the USA. We use Google Analytics with a code extension to ensure that your IP address is only processed in a truncated manner and that rough localization is possible, but that personal data can be excluded. It is possible for Google to merge the IP address transmitted by your browser with other data from Google, e.g., with data from your Google account. We would like to point out that the data processing is mainly carried out by Google and not all data is anonymous. In addition, Google may link to other data on your part, such as your search history, personal accounts, usage data and any other data that Google has about you.

With privacy settings, you can decide for yourself what data is stored in your Google Account. In individual cases, the unabridged (and therefore not anonymized) IP address is transmitted to the USA and truncated accordingly. Google uses the data provided to evaluate the use of the channel, so that we have access to relevant statistics (e.g., about the activities on the website). Google itself uses this data for any of its own purposes, such as profiling. In addition to Google, this data is also accessed by public authorities.

We have agreed to the Google Measurement Controller Data Protection Terms, which govern a joint responsibility in accordance with Article 26 GDPR of Google as well as us (see here: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/9012600).

Connection of our YouTube channel to our Google Ads account

We have connected our YouTube channel with our Google Ads account. This allows us to publish Google Ads advertisements on YouTube. We only receive anonymous statistics regarding these advertisements via Google Ads, through which an assignment to persons is not possible. Regarding the management of the privacy settings for advertisements and other points in this context, we refer to the corresponding sub-item “Ads in YouTube Videos” within the privacy settings:  https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/3181017.
