Please be informed that our websites include links to external sites which are not covered by this data protection statement. Also, some of the Fresenius Kabi entities in our group provide data protection statements that may differ from this data protection statement. Your visit to such websites is subject to the respective data protection statement of that website.
Why we collect and use your data
We collect and use your data for the following purposes:
- To make the website work and optimized for the device you use
- To provide the best possible service to you, enhance your user experience and store your preferences for your current or future browsing sessions
- To further improve our websites.
What data we collect and how we do that
We collect your data of your visit to our website in the following ways:
Automatically by our website or by using cookies and other technologies
We collect and use the following internet protocol data or cookie data during your visits on our websites:
- The name of your service provider including IP address
- The website that directed you to our site
- The pages you visited on our websites
- Your web browser type
- The date and length of your visit
- The preferences you select.
You can accept or refuse the use of certain cookies & other technologies for this website. Please note that if you choose not to accept the use of certain cookies you may not be able to experience the full functionality of this website and may have to confirm certain dialogs once again.
Your cookie settings are always related to the web browser you are using, and the settings are of no effect if you use a different web browser upon your next use of this website. Alternatively, you can manage the settings of your web browser or on your mobile device. Here you can delete cookies at your own discretion at any time.
We use the following types of cookies:
Strictly necessary cookies
This type of cookies is required to make the website work. They are exclusively used by us during the session. They help to make the page load more quickly and to limit the number of sessions originating from a user to prevent a website-overload.
We use a "cookie notifier" cookie which saves your decision either to agree with the usage of cookies on our website or not. It is saved automatically upon your click on one of the two options available. Your acceptance of our cookies is stored for one year from the acceptance date. If you decide to refuse our cookies, your decision will be stored for 30 days. During this time, the cookie information banner will not be shown again.
All other strictly necessary cookies remain valid during the session and are automatically deleted when you close the browser.
Functional cookies
Functional cookies save the choices and preferences you make while visiting this website in order to offer you an improved functionality and personal features. They can remember your login status, or the status of videos played. These will be stored for 30 days.
Analytical cookies
When you consent to the usage of analytical cookies, respective cookies will be stored on your device. Analytical cookies allow us to analyze the way the website is used, how often visitors use a page of our website, and if they get error messages from our pages. For this purpose, your IP address will be processed in a pseudonymized manner by deleting the last three digits. That way we are no longer able to directly identify you as an individual. We will delete this data within three years.
Social Media cookies
When you consent to the usage of social media cookies or when you press ‘I consent’ in the social media feeds section, cookies will be placed. You are then able to see the activity streams of our corporate social media channels which are embedded on our website. Your consent is stored for the duration of your visit of our website through our “social media” cookie.
When activating social media plug-ins
If you activate plug-ins of social media providers (such as Facebook, X, YouTube, LinkedIn, Instagram or WhatsApp), your web browser will connect to the servers of the respective providers and send your specific user data to these providers.
In addition, if you are currently logged in to a social network of one of the above-mentioned providers, your activity may be linked to your user account with these providers at the same time.
In order to secure your privacy, we are using a tool called “Shariff.” Shariff enables you to decide whether and when to activate the share plug-ins on our website and, by doing so, whether to initiate a transfer of user specific data to the provider. Only if you specifically activate a plug-in via Shariff, your browser will connect to the servers of the respective provider and the user specific data (as further referenced below) will be sent to that provider. You activate a plug-in via Shariff, by clicking on one of the respective share buttons.
Legal basis to collect, use and share your data
We process your personal data on one or more of the following legal bases:
- You have given us your consent for the intended processing or international transfer of your personal data, (e.g., in the EU Art. 6.1 a, and Art. 49.1 a GDPR). This is e.g. the case for cookies that are not strictly necessary and when you activate the social plug-ins.
- The processing is necessary for purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by us or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data (e.g., in the EU Art. 6.1 f GDPR). These legitimate interests are:
- the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims
- to provide information on our products and service via a working and optimized website.
With whom we share your data
Besides the general recipients as mentioned under With Whom We Share Your Data, we share your data with social media platforms if you activate the plug ins.
Fresenius Kabi has no influence on the scope or the kind of data that will be submitted by activating the plug-ins. Besides, further data processing operations could be triggered, on which we do not have any influence. To learn more about the scope of personal data collected and used, the purposes for which we may use your data, and your respective rights and configuration options to protect your privacy (including your right of withdrawal of consent), please refer to the respective social network’s data protection statement.
