During your visit, Matomo records a so-called device fingerprint: This retrieves information about your browser, the operating system you are using and also any do-not-track settings. In addition, location, time and audio settings, screen resolution or installed browser plug-ins can be recorded. The device fingerprint data is anonymized. Matomo runs exclusively on the servers of our platform. The information collected is only stored there. We have configured Matomo so that the IP address is not stored in full and the last byte is masked (e.g. 192.168.1.x).

4.4 Using the functions of the ImpactMonitor platform

You can provide information on the medication you are taking, other pharmaceutical products or (medical) products used and add clinical pictures. You can add product areas based on your details. Based on your details, MedWatcher and the product areas will suggest suitable questionnaires for you to answer. In this way, you can obtain information on the experiences of users with similar clinical pictures or indications (peer statistics). In the ImpactMonitor platform, you also have the option of directly reporting side effects of the product. We process your activities in the ImpactMonitor platform to show you your progress in our Achievement Program and reward you with points from our points system.

‍Obligationto provide your data
‍Thereis no legal obligation to provide your data. However, if you do not provide us with your data, not all functions of the ImpactMonitor platform may be available to you.

4.5 Pseudonymization and anonymization
‍Cookies We pseudonymize and anonymize your personal health data from your user profile and the health data you provided as part of answering questionnaires (see section 4.4).Pseudonymization is the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be assigned to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that this additional information is stored separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures that ensure that the personal data cannot be assigned to an identified or identifiable natural person.Anonymization involves changing your data in such a way that it can no longer be assigned to your person or can only be assigned with a disproportionately large technical effort.Pseudonymization and also anonymization of your data can, however, never completely rule out the subsequent assignment of information to your person via other sources, e.g., information you provide in social media. A residual risk of traceability to your person therefore remains. This is particularly the case if you publish genetic or other health data yourself, e.g. for genealogical research on the Internet. If your data should fall into unauthorized hands despite extensive technical and organizational protective measures and a reference to your person is then made despite the absence of name information, a discriminatory or otherwise harmful use of the data for you and possibly also close relatives cannot be ruled out.

‍Purpose
‍Weanonymize your data for statistical purposes, in particular to provide you with statistical evaluations in the form of peer statistics (see section 4.4). We also use anonymized data for our own statistical purposes, in particular for product improvement, as well as to provide anonymized overviews to providers (see section 4.6).We pseudonymize your data in order to be able to analyze it for our own statistical purposes, in particular for product improvement, as well as to be able to provide it to providers relevant to you (see section 4.6).

Legal basis
‍Legal basis forthe pseudonymization and anonymization and analysis of your health data in. S. d. Art. 4 No. 15 DSGVO for this purpose is your express consent pursuant to Art. 9 (2) lit. a DSGVO.

‍Receivers
‍Yourdata will be passed on to our IT service providers as part of order processing, insofar as this is necessary.

‍Storageperiod
‍Wewill process your data until you revoke your consent by deleting individual details about yourself or your user account. We cannot delete anonymized data because it can no longer be assigned to you.

‍Revocation option
‍Youcan revoke your consent at any time by deleting individual details about yourself from your profile or your entire user account.

‍Obligationto provide your data
‍There is no legal obligation to provide your data. However, if you do not provide us with your data, not all functions of the ImpactMonitor platform may be available to you.

4.6 Aggregation and transmission of data to providers
‍As a user of the ImpactMonitor platform, you are a user of medicines, medical devices or other pharmaceutical, cosmetic or medical products. Providers, i.e. manufacturers or distributors of these products (e.g. pharmaceutical companies, medical device manufacturers or other companies in the life science industry) or members of the medical profession, self-help groups or research institutions, have an interest in the (health) data you provide when using the ImpactMonitor platform, in particular when answering questionnaires (see section 4.2), e.g. to conduct market research, carry out or validate product safety checks or for scientific research purposes. In order to be able to offer you the free functions of the ImpactMonitor platform, we therefore only pass on your data, including adverse reaction reports, to providers in pseudonymized and anonymized form (see section 4.3). In doing so, we ensure that providers cannot identify you and cannot assign the transmitted data to you personally. If you use several product areas in the ImpactMonitor platform, your data from the various product areas will be merged before transmission in order to give providers a more comprehensive picture of the use of their products and thus increase patient safety. Providers will still not be able to identify you. You will not be involved in any commercial benefit that may result from the processing of your data.
‍
‍Purpose
‍Weprocess your pseudonymized and anonymized (health) data in order to transmit it to providers.

‍Legal basis
‍The legal basisfor the processing of your health data within the meaning of Art. 4 No. 15 GDPR for this purpose is your express consent pursuant to Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR.

‍Recipients
‍Recipients ofyour data are our IT service providers as well as the aforementioned providers in countries of the European Union or the European Economic Area or in other countries where the European Commission has determined an adequate level of data protection, in particular pharmaceutical companies, medical device manufacturers and other companies in the life science industry as well as members of medical professions, self-help groups and research institutions for whom your data is relevant.

‍Storage period
‍Weonly transfer your data until you withdraw your consent by deleting individual details about yourself or your user account. We cannot delete anonymized data as it can no longer be assigned to you.

‍Option to withdraw consent
‍Youhave the option to withdraw your consent at any time by deleting individual personal details from your profile or your entire user account.

‍Obligationto provide your data
‍Thereis no legal obligation to provide your data. However, if you do not provide us with your data, not all functions of the ImpactMonitor platform may be available to you.

If you have given several declarations of consent under data protection law, please tell us which of the consents you are revoking. If we do not receive such a specification even upon request, we will assume that your revocation applies to all consents granted up to that point. We will then terminate the data processing activities based on the consents.
