We are delighted that you are visiting our website and would like to thank you for your interest in our
company, our products, and our online information.
HORUS PROSTHETICS RESPECTS YOUR PRIVACY
As the company responsible for the web pages, HORUS PROSTHETICS Horus Prosthetics GmbH, Bouchéstraße 12
Halle 20 12435 Berlin, Deutschland, takes the issue of protecting personal information very seriously.
Data protection and information security are part of our company policy. Accordingly, protecting your
privacy when processing personal data and the security of all commercial information is an important
matter for us, which we observe in our business processes. We treat personal information collected
during your visit to our website confidentially and only use it in accordance with legal regulations.
Our web pages may contain links to third-party providers to which this statement on data protection does
not apply. We have no influence on whether the administrators of these web pages maintain and uphold the
relevant data protection regulations.
PERSONAL DATA
Personal data is information that can be used to learn about your identity. This includes your name,
address, postal address and phone number. Information that cannot be associated with your identity, such
as the number of users on a website, is not considered personal data.
OBTAINING, SAVING AND PROCESSING PERSONAL DATA
Whenever you visit our website, we save the name of your internet service provider, the browser type
used, the website from which you visit ours, the web pages that you visit while on our website and the
date and duration of your visit. No other personal information is stored. You can therefore use our
website without having to disclose your identity.
When you visit special areas of our website or participate in certain campaigns, additional data may be
collected and saved. Personal data may need to be entered in order to participate in a survey, forward
an inquiry, or process a contract.
Specifying personal data is voluntary. When you submit a query using one of our contact forms or via
e-mail, we save the data that you provide about yourself in order to facilitate individual communication
with you and to process your query.
Some campaigns or promotions, such as those that access specific information, require you to make
several data entries. Entry fields that must be completed are designated with an asterisk (*).
Additional information that has not been highlighted as mandatory is optional and provided voluntarily.
USE AND DISSEMINATION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION, THE PROCESSING PURPOSE AND LEGAL BASIS
We use your personal data to technically manage our websites, customers, and marketing to the extent
required for each specific case only. We will never transmit your data to third parties outside HORUS
PROSTHETICS without your consent, especially with regard to marketing purposes.
We will transmit your data to authorities entitled to request such information to the extent that this
is required by law or has been mandated by a court order.
DATA ACCESS
So that our operations are correctly and appropriately managed, carefully selected staff from HORUS
PROSTHETICS also have access to your data. The data cannot be used by these members of staff for their
own purposes.
The employees tasked with employees shall undertake to uphold confidentiality and data secrecy.
Moreover, an acceptable level of data protection is guaranteed at all times.
