Personal data

SINOVO health solutions GmbH collects, processes and uses your personal data in compliance with the data protection laws of the Federal Republic of Germany and the data protection regulations of the European Union.

In addition, we use cookies and analytical services when people visit our website. Further details on this can be found below.

Protection and storage of personal data

To ensure the best possible protection of your personal data, SINOVO health solutions GmbH uses Microsoft's cloud services (Windows Azure) with regard to the therapy and device data gathered by the mylife Software. These data are stored in Europe.

We retain your data only for as long as is required for the purposes set forth in these Data Protection Guidelines or for the period of time in which your account is active with SINOVO health solutions GmbH or Microsoft and it is necessary to do so in order to provide you with the services. If you no longer wish that SINOVO health solutions GmbH uses your data to provide the services to you, you can close your account and SINOVO health solutions GmbH will delete the stored data insofar as SINOVO health solutions GmbH is not obliged to keep your data for compliance with legal obligations or for settling disputes.

If we have not had any relevant contact with you for two years, we will erase your personal data from our systems unless we believe in good faith that we are required by law or otherwise to keep them (e.g. an enquiry in connection with a probable lawsuit).

Transfer of personal data to other third parties

We do not share personal information with other third parties. In particular, there is no disclosure of personal data to third parties for advertising purposes.

 

Transfer of data

Any transfer of your personal data to third parties for purposes other than those listed below does not take place.

We only pass on your personal information to third parties if:

·       you have given your express consent to this in accordance with Art. 6 para(1)1a GDPR,

·       disclosure pursuant to Art. 6(1)1f GDPR is required in order  to assert, exercise or defend legal claims and there is no reason to assume that you have a predominantly legitimate interest in not disclosing your data,

·       in the event that disclosure pursuant to Art. 6(1)1c GDPR is a legal obligation, as well as

·       it is legally permissible and is required for the settlement of contractual relationships with you in accordance with Art. 6(1)1b GDPR.

Only anonymised data can be passed on to other third parties for evaluation purposes. Anonymization is a process in which personal data is modified in such a way that the details of personal or factual circumstances can no longer – or only with a disproportionate amount of time, costs and labour – be assigned to a particular or identifiable natural person.

 


 

If, however, you use further personalised services of our offer, the collection of personalised data and their transfer to third parties may be required for the purpose of carrying out and processing the service. However, these data are only stored or transmitted to the extent required for order processing. In order to do so, when you fill in the respective form, the submission of an explicit declaration of consent is required.

Third parties to whom your data is passed on in the context of order processing are, moreover, bound by the statutory provisions for the handling of personal data. Insofar as we are or will be required to do so by law or by court order, we will forward data, to the extent authorised by law, to the respective authorities entitled to receive information.

mylife Software online version  – Information for the exchange of data with other persons

Users or patients can use the online version of mylife to exchange data with the persons authorised to receive it (e.g. doctor, person of trust). Please note that the linking of personal data with the health data must be technically possible in order to allow your doctor to assign the data to the patient. However, SINOVO health solutions GmbH will not associate personal data with health data in such a way that people other than the authorised physician can assign health data to certain persons. Employees of SINOVO health solutions GmbH have been instructed accordingly and are bound by these Data Protection Guidelines. In no case will personal or health data be passed on to other third parties other than your authorised doctor or other authorised third parties or people authorised to retrieve the data. Access to data contained in mylife Software online version is only possible after the user ID and password have been entered. Doctors and persons of trust shall only gain access to the data after you have authorised your doctor to gain access, the doctor has logged in and the doctor has confirmed his/her registration when logging on. Doctors and persons of trust may use the mylife Software to exchange data with patients who have authorised them to access the patient data. The authorisation of the doctor or a third party can be revoked at any time. After revocation, no access for the respective doctor or third party is possible.

 

 

 

Use of cookies

After you have logged in (with your user name and password), the services of mylife online version use  cookies, with which you can be identified during the duration of your visit. A cookie is stored on your computer. After the end of the session, the cookie expires automatically. You can save this cookie permanently so that you can log in automatically by using the "Automatically log in to this computer" feature. The cookie will then contain parts of your log-in details in encrypted form. However, the automatic log-in to two (2) different computers is not possible in this case.

 

Log files

With every page you view, access data is stored in a log file, the so-called server log. The data set saved contains the following data:

• Your IP address (a unique identifying number that can be traced back to your device),

• the remote host (the name and IP address of the computer requesting the page),

• the time, status, volume of data transferred and the website from which you came to the requested page (referrer), as well as

• the product and version information of the browser used (user agent).

SINOVO health solutions GmbH uses the standardised log file format of the web server for this purpose. SINOVO health solutions GmbH uses the log data (logs) in an anonymised form, i.e. without assignment or references to your person, for statistical analysis. SINOVO health solutions GmbH may thus, for example, find out on which days and at which times the offers of mylife online version are particularly popular and what data volume is generated on the SINOVO websites. Moreover, SINOVO health solutions GmbH may recognise possible errors thanks to the log files, e.g. faulty links or bugs, and thus use the log files to further develop the mylife online version websites. SINOVO health solutions GmbH does not associate the page views and uses stored in the server log with individuals. SINOVO health solutions GmbH reserves the right, however, to subsequently check the log files via the last known IP address of such users who, on the basis of certain facts, are suspected of using the mylife online version of websites and/or the mylife services illegally or contrary to contract. This serves the protection of mylife members, the security of SINOVO member data, as well as the SINOVO websites and mylife services.

You can prevent the installation of the cookies by setting your browser appropriately. When a corresponding browser setting is used, cookies will not be saved. This may mean, however, that not all features of the mylife Software online version can be used.

 

Children under 18 years of age

Participation in mylife online services is reserved exclusively for adults. Parents or guardians are responsible for protecting the privacy of their children.

Persons under the age of 18 should not submit any personal data to us without the consent of their parents or guardians. We do not solicit, collect, store or disclose to any third party personal information collected from children.

 

Links to other websites

Insofar as our Internet pages contain links to the offers of other service providers, we cannot guarantee and cannot assume any liability for the fact that these Internet pages also comply with the statutory provisions. Please inform yourself on the respective websites, with the aid of the privacy policy of the respective provider, of the respective valid data protection standards.

 

 

Right to complain to a supervisory authority

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you are entitled to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your residence, place of work or place of alleged infringement, if you believe that the processing of your personal data violates the GDPR.

The supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant of the status and results of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Article 78 of the GDPR.

The supervisory authority responsible for SINOVO health solutions GmbH is the Data Protection Officer of the Federal State of Hesse.
