This can occur in the form of YouTube videos, RSS feeds or graphics from other sites or also through social media buttons, such as the Share button from Facebook. If they consent to the use of marketing cookies in the cookie settings, this data is embedded directly in our website and a connection with the respective third-party provider is established. If you only agree to the necessary cookies, the respective embeddings will not be started. You can, however, consent to each individual embedding (e.g. YouTube videos) separately via the corresponding buttons. In both cases, with your consent, the content of the embedding is transmitted to your browser and integrated by it into the website. This means that the respective provider always receives the information that you have called up the Christoph Miethke website.

Since the parent companies of the respective social media providers are located in the USA, a third-country transfer cannot be ruled out. The level of data protection in the USA is lower and not comparable with the level in the EU.

12.1 Facebook Fanpages
As the operator of Facebook fanpages, we have access to the Insights pages of Facebook. The page-insights allow fanpage operators to view anonymous page statistics about user interactions with the fanpage.

· information obligations (Art. 12 & 13 DSGVO),

and Right of objection and automated decision-making in individual cases (Art. 15 - 22 DSGVO)

The MIETHKE App does not processes any personal data.
As part of the expansion of our premises at the Rote Kaserne (Fritz-von-der-Lancken-Strasse 10, 144469 Potsdam), video surveillance is taking place for the purpose of exercising domiciliary rights, preventing criminal acts, and preserving evidence in the event of criminal acts as part of the construction measures for the expansion of the Rote Kaserne site. In addition, images are recorded to create a time-lapse film documenting the progress of construction, although no persons are recognizable in these images. The images of the construction progress will be deleted no later than 2 years after creation. The recordings for securing the construction site are either deleted after 72 hours (correspondingly longer on weekends or extended weekends) if no incidents occur or, if incidents do occur, kept until the respective legal proceedings have been concluded.
Monitoring of public areas does not take place.
The legal basis for the aforementioned video surveillance is in each case Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO, whereby our interests arise from the aforementioned purposes.
As part of our #MyHCandME photo campaign, so-called SharePics (quote boards) with your picture and your quote will be published on our campaign website www.myhcandme.com based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO and Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a DSGVO). In addition, we share the SharePics with your consent on our social media pages (see also section 12 of this privacy policy).
You can easily revoke your consent by email (info(at)myhcandme.com). The SharePic will be deleted within 3 working days in case of a revocation.
Otherwise, the SharePics will be deleted by us at the end of the photo campaign.
As part of post-market surveillance, anonymous and pseudonymized data on our products are collected from physicians using a cloud-based survey service. A contract processing agreement has been concluded with the service provider. Various technical and organizational measures are taken to protect the data. Among other things, only servers in the EU are used and the data is encrypted so that the service provider has no possibility of accessing this data.
In the context of post-market surveillance, respondents' data are processed on the basis of MIETHKE's legitimate interest in ensuring product safety and quality assurance. The processing of patient data is aggregated and anonymous. The respondents' data will be deleted after the survey has been evaluated. The aggregated and thus anonymous data will be deleted as part of the technical documentation (see Annex III MDR) in accordance with Art. 10 (8) MDR 15 years after the last product has been placed on the market. Should the data concerned about our products include pseudonymous data about patients, the physician is obliged for this data transfer to us either to obtain consent pursuant to Art. 9 (2) lit. a DSGVO from the patients concerned or to have another legal basis for the transfer to us.
