Data protection
We are very pleased about your interest in our company. Data protection is of
particular importance for the management of MERIPHARM GmbH. In connection with
your access, data security is temporarily stored in our server for data
security purposes, which may allow identification, such as IP address, date,
time and pages viewed. An evaluation, except for statistical purposes in
anonymous form, does not take place. However, if an affected person wishes to
use our company's special services through our website, personal data
processing may be required. If the processing of personal data is required and
there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally seek the consent of
the data subject.
The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address or
telephone number of a data subject, always takes place in accordance with the
General Data Protection Regulation and in accordance with the country-specific
data protection regulations applicable to MERIPHARM GmbH. Through this privacy
policy, our company seeks to inform the public about the nature, scope and
purpose of the personal information we collect, use and process. Furthermore,
data subjects are informed of their rights under this privacy policy.
MERIPHARM GmbH, as the controller, has implemented numerous technical and
organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible for
personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, Internet-based data
transmissions can generally have security holes, so that absolute protection
can not be guaranteed. For this reason, every person concerned is free to
submit personal data to us in alternative ways, for example by telephone.

MERIPHARM GmbH will no longer process personal data in the event of an

processing is for assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims.
If MERIPHARM GmbH processes personal data in order to operate direct mail, the
data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal
data for the purpose of such advertising. This also applies to the profiling,
as far as it is associated with such direct mail. If the data subject objects

Directive 2002/58 / EC, to exercise his right of opposition by means of
automated procedures using technical specifications.
• h)
Automated decisions on a case-by-case basis, including profiling
Any person concerned by the processing of
personal data shall have the right, as granted by the European legislature and
the legislature, not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated
processing, including profiling, which has a legal effect on it or, in a
similar manner, significantly affects it; unless the decision (1) is necessary
for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the data subject and
the controller, or (2) is permitted by Union or Member State legislation to
which the controller is subject, and that legislation provides for appropriate
measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms as well as the legitimate
interests of the data subject; or (3) with the express consent of the data
subject.
If the decision (1) is required for the conclusion or performance of a contract
between the person concerned and the person responsible or (2) it takes place
with the express consent of the data subject, MERIPHARM GmbH takes appropriate
measures to protect the rights and freedoms as well as the authorized persons interests
of the data subject, including at least the right to obtain the intervention of
a person by the controller, to express his / her own position and to contest
the decision.
If the data subject wishes to claim automated decision-making rights, they can
contact an employee of the controller at any time.
• i)
Right to revoke a data protection consent
Any person affected by the processing of
personal data has the right, granted by the European directive and regulatory
authority, to revoke consent to the processing of personal data at any time.
If the data subject wishes to assert their right to withdraw consent, they may,
at any time, contact an employee of the controller.
8.
Legal basis of processing
Art. 6 I lit. a DS-GMO serves our company
as the legal basis for processing operations where we obtain consent for a
particular processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary
to fulfill a contract of which the data subject is a party, as is the case, for
example, in processing operations necessary for the supply of goods or the
provision of any other service or consideration, processing shall be based on Art.
6 I lit. b DS-GMO. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary
to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries
regarding our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal
obligation which requires the processing of personal data, such as the
fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c
DS-GMO. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be required to
protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This
would be the case, for example, if a visitor to our premises were injured and
his or her name, age, health insurance or other vital information would have to
be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing
would be based on Art. 6 I lit. d DS-GMO. Ultimately, processing operations
could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f DS-GMOs. On this legal basis, processing
operations that are not covered by any of the above legal bases are required if
processing is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of our company or
a third party, unless the interests, fundamental rights and fundamental
freedoms of the person concerned prevail. Such processing operations are
particularly allowed to us because they have been specifically mentioned by the
European legislator. In that regard, it considered that a legitimate interest
could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (recital
47, second sentence, DS-BER).
9.
Legitimate interests in the processing that are being pursued by the controller
or a third party
Is the processing of personal data based on
Article 6 I lit. f DS-GMO our legitimate interest is in conducting our business
for the benefit of all of our employees and our shareholders.
10.
Duration for which the personal data are stored
The criterion for the duration of the
storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After
the deadline, the corresponding data will be routinely deleted, if they are no
longer required to fulfill the contract or to initiate a contract.
11.
Legal or contractual provisions for the provision of personal data; Necessity
for the conclusion of the contract; Obligation of the data subject to provide
the personal data; possible consequences of non-provision
We clarify that the provision of personal
information is in part required by law (such as tax regulations) or may result
from contractual arrangements (such as details of the contractor). Occasionally
it may be necessary for a contract to be concluded that an affected person
provides us with personal data that must subsequently be processed by us. For
example, the data subject is required to provide us with personal information
when our company enters into a contract with her. Failure to provide the
personal data would mean that the contract with the person concerned could not
be closed. Prior to any personal data being provided by the person concerned,
the person concerned must contact one of our employees. Our employee will
inform the individual on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of the
personal data is required by law or contract or is required for the conclusion
of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data
and the consequences of the non-provision of the personal data.
12.
existence of automated decision-making
As a responsible company we refrain from
automatic decision-making or profiling.
This privacy policy was created with the help of the DS Generator of DGD
Deutsche Gesellschaft für Datenschutz GmbH, which acts as external data
protection officer Leipzig, in cooperation with the data protection lawyer
Christian Solmecke.
