Our website offers users the possibility of subscribing to free newsletters. When registering for the newsletter(s), data such as the user’s surname, first name, email address, and country, are transmitted to us via the data entry form.
As a rule, our company’s newsletter(s) can only be received if (1) the data subject has a valid email address, and (2) the data subject registers for the newsletter.
For legal reasons, before the first newsletter is sent, a confirmation email is sent to the email address entered by the data subject as part of a double opt-in process. That confirmation email is intended to check whether the owner of the email address has authorized receipt of the newsletter.
When registering for the newsletter(s), the IP address, date, and time of the registration are also stored. The collection of that data is necessary in order to be able to trace (potential) abuse of the email address of a data subject in the future.
The personal data collected during registration for the newsletter(s) are used for:
Users of the newsletter service(s) may cancel their subscription at any time, by contacting us under privacy.med.global@hamilton-medical.com. Each newsletter also contains a link under which consent may be withdrawn. Please be aware that if you have signed up for different newsletters, the respective unsubscribe link in each email is only unsubscribing you from that particular newsletter, not all lists. In case of doubt, please contact us.
Our newsletters may contain tracking technology so that we can target the content of our newsletters more closely to the information requirements of recipients. Such tracking technology includes, for example, miniature graphics embedded in an e mail sent in HTML format that enable analysis of whether and when the relevant email was opened, and which links contained in the email were followed.
The personal data collected using tracking pixels are stored by us and statistically analyzed to optimize the newsletter service(s) as described above. The user may withdraw his/her consent to newsletter tracking at any time.
Our website offers users the possibility to download white papers and other materials. We provide these materials in exchange for your data, which we use in order to inform you about our services and products, events, surveys and other marketing communication. The processing is based on your consent, and you can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future at the end of every email or by sending an email to privacy.med.global@hamilton-medical.com. Please be aware that the section “Newsletter tracking” applies for all marketing emails you receive from us as well.
Our website contains contact forms enabling users of the website to quickly contact our company directly and to request information. If a user contacts us using such a form, the personal data entered are automatically stored by us. The data entry form indicates which personal data are sent to us. The data are collected to enable an employee of our company or of a processor to contact or send further information to the person whose data were entered using the data entry form.
Alternatively, it is possible to contact us using the email address provided. In this case, the user's personal data that are sent by email are stored for the purpose of contacting the user.
Your personal data processed will first and foremost be processed in order to communicate with you and to respond to your request ((pre)contractual or legitimate interest). The data may - to the extent permitted by applicable data protection laws - be used for the occasional provision of information about our services and products, for optimizing and improving our services, and for statistical purposes, as well as marketing, including personalized marketing messages via electronic message, post or phone (legitimate interest). Finally, we may also process your data where required by law, for example, for complaint handling according to the Medical Device Regulations.

We may use cookies and similar technologies (for simplicity reasons, hereinafter referred to collectively as cookies), when you use our websites, platforms, applications, or other products and services.
Our cookie banner and consent management system show you a list of the cookies we use, including their provider, purpose, description and other relevant information. In the default setting, only the essential cookies are enabled. Via the consent management system, you can determine whether you allow the setting of additional cookies or not. You can adjust your preferences at any time using the consent management system.
Below we categorize our processing using cookies. You can find more details in our consent management system (fingerprint icon on the bottom-left corner of the page).
We conduct web analysis for the appropriate design of our websites, and in order to identify and count returning visitors. These tools may track your behavior on our website (including its subpages) and we use the information for optimization of our marketing activities.
We supplement the collected data with other data provided by third-party providers. This enables us to capture the demographic characteristics of our visitors, for example, information about their age, sex and place of residence.
We also use (cross-device) tracking technologies so that we can display targeted advertising outside of our website and determine how effective our advertising is.
When you visit or use our websites, platforms, applications, or other products and services, it is possible that the third-party providers listed in our consent management system use cookies (especially pixels of Facebook, Instagram, Linkedin, Twitter, Youtube, Oktopost).
The third-party providers may use the cookies and information collected to recognize your end device on other websites. We can instruct the respective third-party providers, especially on social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Linkedin, Twitter, Oktopost, to display advertising that is based on the visit or use of our websites, platforms, applications or other products and services. If you register with the third-party provider using your own user data, the respective recognition characteristics of different browsers and end devices can be aligned with each other. If the third-party provider generated a separate characteristic for the laptop, desktop, smartphone or tablet you use, these individual characteristics can be associated with each other as soon as you use a service of the third-party provider with your login information. This way, the third-party provider can effectively manage our advertising campaigns across different end devices.
The Google AdWords advertising optimization service is integrated into our website.
The operator of the Google AdWords services is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043 1351, USA.
Google AdWords is used to advertise our website by displaying relevant advertising on the websites of third-party companies and in Google search engine results.
If a data subject accesses our website via a Google ad, Google stores a conversion cookie (see the section "Cookies, web analysis, (conversion‑) tracking and (re‑) marketing") on the computer of the data subject. The conversion cookie expires after thirty days and does not serve to identify the data subject. The conversion cookie indicates whether specific subpages on our website have been visited. The conversion cookie enables both us and Google to track whether a data subject who has accessed our website via an AdWords ad has generated sales, i.e., has completed or canceled a purchase.
The data and information collected using the conversion cookie are used by Google to generate traffic statistics for our website. Neither our company, nor other Google AdWords advertising customers receive information from Google enabling identification of the data subject.
By storing the cookie, Google obtains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the user, as such personal data are transmitted to Google in the USA. Those personal data are stored by Google in the USA. Google may share those personal data with third parties.
If you do not wish cookies to be stored, you can disable them by adjusting your browser settings accordingly. In addition, you can prevent data generated by the cookie referring to your use of the website (including your IP address) from being collected by Google and the processing of such data by Google by downloading and installing the following add-on: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.
Opt-out cookies will prevent your data from being collected when you visit this website in future.
Furthermore, the data subject may disable personalized advertising by Google by opening this link https://adssettings.google.com from each internet browser used and adjusting the settings there accordingly.
For further information and the applicable Google privacy policy, please see https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en
We operate social media pages jointly with the respective social media provider and thereby process personal data for the interest of public relations and communication, based on legitimate interest, contract and/or consent. We may communicate with you through the social media platform, for example, by responding to comments or messages, and we may share your posted content and allow you to participate in contests and/or raffles. Furthermore, we analyze the statistics provided by the social media provider about your use of our social media pages.
On certain social media pages, we also accept job applications. The processing here is based on (pre-)contract. Please see the section “Privacy in job application processes” for more information.
Please check the settings and privacy policy of the respective provider you have signed up to as well.
We also use the respective social media platforms to deliver advertising. For this purpose, we use target-group definitions that are provided to us by the social media provider. We only use anonymous target-group definitions - that is, we define characteristics based on, for example, general demographic information, behavior, interests and connections. The operator of the social media platform uses these to play advertisements to its users accordingly. The legal basis for this is the consent that the operator of the social media platform has obtained from its users. If you wish to revoke this consent, please use the revocation options provided by the social media platform provider, as the social media platform operator is responsible for this processing. Occasionally, we or the provider of the social media platform also use publicly available data for target-group definition. The legal basis for this processing is then the legitimate interest to define a target group that is as suitable as possible.
Occasionally, we also use information about visits to or interaction with other sites (so-called remarketing) to define target groups. For this purpose, we also use cookies, see the section "Cookies, web analysis, (conversion-) tracking and (re-) marketing". In these cases, however, we obtain the consent of the user in advance through a consent banner on the other respective pages and provide information about the data processing at this point. You can revoke this consent at any time by calling up the consent banner of the relevant website again.
If you wish to object to any of the described processing, please see the section “Your rights concerning the processing of personal data”.
The social media platforms use what are known as “web tracking methods” on their websites. Please be aware of the possibility that the social media platforms may use your profile data, for example, in order to evaluate your habits, personal relationships, preferences and the like. We have no influence on the processing of your data by the social media platforms. Further information on the data processing conducted by the platform provider, including information concerning your rights as a user, can be found in the provider's data protection policy and the joint controller addendum. Please contact us if you have further questions or require assistance in finding the respective information.
