3. Data Collection on Our Website
Server log files
The provider of these pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:
- Browser type and browser version
- Operating system used
- Referrer URL (the previously visited page)
- Host name of the accessing computer
- Time of the server request
- IP address
This data is technically necessary in order to display our website to you reliably and securely. This data is not combined with other data sources. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in the error-free presentation of the website).
Local browser storage (local storage / session storage)
We use your browser's local storage to save the accessible font size you have selected (via our A- / A / A+ controls) for your next visit. This happens locally on your device. No data is transmitted to our servers or to third parties in this process. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in providing an accessible user interface).
4. Integration of Third-Party Providers and CDNs (Content Delivery Networks)
Boxicons (icon fonts via unpkg.com)
This site uses the Boxicons service for the visual display of icons and symbols (e.g. the phone icon or the arrows in the accordions), which is loaded via the unpkg content delivery network (npm, Inc.).
When you access our pages, your browser loads the required icons directly from unpkg.com's servers into your browser cache. In doing so, your IP address is transmitted to unpkg. This service is used in the interest of a visually appealing and consistent presentation of our online offering. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
External online appointment booking (Doctolib)
Our website includes a button for online appointment booking via the Doctolib service (Doctolib GmbH, Wilhelmstraße 118, 10963 Berlin). When you click this button, you leave our website and are redirected directly to Doctolib's booking portal. From that point on, data processing is the responsibility of Doctolib. Further information on how user data is handled can be found in Doctolib's privacy policy: www.doctolib.de/privacy.
5. Your Rights as a Data Subject
Within the scope of applicable statutory provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing (Art. 15 GDPR), as well as a right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR), restriction, or erasure (Art. 17 GDPR) of this data.
For this and for any further questions on the subject of personal data, you may contact us at any time at the address given in the Legal Notice.
